Anonymous asked: I had a dream where Scrap Baby was announced for Smash Bros Ultimate as one of the DLC characters. Everyone either loved it or hated it. There was no in-between.
Recently, Tumblr was removed from the Apple app store due to an incident involving child pornography. This incident is incredibly unfortunate, but it doesn’t stand alone. Tumblr was also removed from the app store due to the large influx of porn bots and pornographic spam, users claiming to be proud to be pedophiles, blatant Nazism, racists who are not deleted for sending hate and harassing users, and more. I myself reported someone for harassing me, but because I had blocked the person and couldn’t access the messages where they harassed me, they were still able to send me anonymous asks. Your support staff, with back doors to the website (presumably), claimed they could not access the messages, and I was left SOL. Many features on this website do nothing to actually protect your users from harassment, racism, homophobia, transphobia, Nazis, pedophiles, predators, porn bots, and more.
You claim in your statement to us that you “have been working on these problems for a long time”. This is blatantly untrue. Please do not lie to us and patronize us. We’ve been here. We’ve seen you do nothing over, and over, and over again.
We complained to you for months and months about the rampant porn bots, and you did nothing except add a report button on mobile which only reported sensitive content or spam at best. You could have addressed this problem with an effective algorithm, but you did not. We complained to you about being harassed and sent hate speech for being LGBT+, and you did nothing. We complained to you about blogs being randomly deleted, and sometimes you’ve restored them, other times you have not. We complained to you that there were people proudly claiming to be “Minor Attracted Persons”, or pedophiles, and you did nothing. We complained to you about people proudly claiming to be white supremacists, and you did nothing. All of these things are “against the community guidelines”, and yet over and over, you have not found effective ways to handle these problems or suppress the feeling of welcome that these users claim to get here. You have had a long time to work on these problems, but you haven’t addressed them. To say you have is untrue.
Multiple other social networking websites, such as Wordpress, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and others have effectively dealt with rampant pornography, racism, pedophilia, and other problems without causing massive issues for their users who are not misusing the platform. They are continuing to find new, effective ways to deal with these issues without causing problems for their userbase as a whole. There is no reason that you are unable to do this effectively other than that you wanted to do it quickly. You have once again chosen your stock holders over your users. And we have had enough.
You have already started to ban “Adult” content with a new algorithm. Here are screenshots of just a fraction of the posts you have flagged as containing adult content:
Your new system of simply tackling everything at once is not working. At all. And each of these screenshots is proof of your utter incompetence. None of these posts contain pornographic acts, “female nipples”, or any community violation of any kind.
We, the users, have been asking you for months to deal with these problems - particularly, the porn bots and bots that spam. In order to block a bot from a side blog, I have to do it manually, even though they are in my side blog’s feed. This is a huge issue for mobile - only users. They keep cropping up in droves, taking over our posts and tricking google into making it look like a legitimate blog linked to a pornographic website. We have complained to you for months and months now, and your solution to simply “ban all adult content” is ineffective. I agree that children should not be able to access pornography - but this is not how you tackle a porn bot problem. Your system is utterly useless, allows for racists, pedophiles, porn bots, and Nazis to remain untouched. It also harms sex workers and real people who may use this website for some forms of adult content responsibly. Moreover, as seen above, it harms plenty of users who have in no way violated your terms of service.
If you keep this up, you threaten your website and company as a whole. Many of us are backing up our blogs and planning places to go to.
You already have a content filter for “sensitive” content (content inappropriate for younger viewers). You could have improved this, instead of attacking your entire user base. It seems to be a very lazy “solution”, if you could call it one at all, and one that harms your entire userbase.
If you are going to keep this filter in place and make Tumblr, a website that has never been known for being family friendly and has never claimed to be, you are going to lose millions of your users. We are already planning our exodus. It isn’t hard to follow. Censor us, and we will go somewhere else. That is not a threat. It is a promise.
the tag “fur-ry” (minus the dash) is among those in the site-side blacklist, and is why so much artwork and so many blogs are suddenly invisible from the search.
provided this isn’t a temporary measure, i strongly advise to remove the “fur-ry” tag and use stand-in tags such as “anthro” and “kemono”, since neither are affected.
the New Xkit extension “Tag Replacer” is an easy way to swap your tags over, and you can change it back if this issue gets resolved!

there’s a good chance i’ve missed a few, but hopefully, this can make things a bit easier to manage
Reblogging this because a lot of blogs are affected. If people can’t search for your work this is why. Going to have to spend some time this weekend to fix the tags on my posts too.
i swear this hellsite just gets worse and worse each day with this sitewide blacklisting shit.
So it turns out I found a handful of extra enamel Sheldon Pins that I hadn’t put up for sale yet. There’s only 15 of them so this isn’t a full restock but if you really wanted one before my full restock in late Jan/Feb, now is a small chance! Click the headline to go to my store!

Anonymous asked: buddy, pal, I like representation of races on sonic characters wth their muzzle's color, i like to see you have fun and do it, some characters look amazing with it and some... weird, but its because of their fur color [shads and rouge look natural, knux sometimes fails, sonamy combo doesnt work but i got the idea]. however, claim the producers are whitewashing some characters because of the lighting/color pallete they choose to use?? from a latino to another [i had no idea you were tbh]: no weí
like they own the characters and they can do what they want, but it does raise a brow how shadow went from
(SA2, debut game)
this
to
(sonic free riders dialogue “sprite”)
(sonic generations battle cutscene)
this
hard to argue that the art department just doesnt like dark skin tones or doesnt know how to properly convey them like theres simply no reason for them to give everyone light skin tones. i know they are all furries and it doesnt matter bc its not really “skin” but like. if they already started the whole skintone stuff, they should go through with it (and they do by making everyone light)
That’s just the graphics engine for the Dreamcast being super stupid with lighting regarding the old SA2 stills. Trust me, the Dreamcast was notorious for making models look super dark in bad lighting, hell look at the rest of Shadow’s fur and the actual shadows on Sonic, they are both way darker than they have any right to be or look at any other game on the system. And since they wholesale lifted the game to the GameCube barely any changes were made to SA2B unlike what happened with SADX. Shadow was never intended to be that dark, neither was Sonic or Rouge or Knuckles. Its not an opinion that’s just legitimately how fucked the tech was back then. As for the counter points, look at the way the light is hitting Shadow. That’s normal saturation on his skin, therefore he’s not white washed its literally the light. He still has a darker skin tone than Sonic. Now don’t take this the wrong way, I don’t mind them with slightly darker pallets, but your IDW edits are misdirected as the light from the fire is gonna super saturate their natural colors thus making them appear lighter because fire is brighter than say a lightbulb or spotlight.
TLDR: its not the art team whitewashing, Shadow was never that dark intentionally and neither was the rest of the cast. Its just the Dreamcast’s super shitty lighting. Shadow is and always has been portrayed with a darker skin tone its just direct light does funky stuff.
