Please don’t fucking log off tumblr on the 17th as a protest. All that’s going to do is give tumblr more reason to shut this place down because of revenue loss.

This is blatantly untrue
Companies do not experience one day of revenue loss and pull the plug, destroying years of work and firing dozens if not hundreds of employees.
Companies which experience loss in revenue and consumer interest make investments and changes in order to regain their users/customers. That’s why organized protests and boycotts WORK. Tumblr will NOT go down after one bad day or week, but they might be willing to listen to its userbase if we put up an organized protest. (If you don’t believe me, think about how long sites like MySpace and Google+ hang around with fractions of their previous user base, often for years.)
Yahoo paid over one billion dollars for Tumblr, and the website will not go offline because of a one-day event, so in conclusion,
DO log off on December 17th to show Tumblr that you disapprove of its recent content ban and clumsy execution of censorship.
Please reblog this version of the post to stop the spread of misinformation.
“All lives” didn’t matter until black lives did.
MRA didn’t exist until women’s rights started to.
“Straight pride” wasn’t a thing until gay pride was.
What I’m saying is that these movements are simply responses to black lives matter, feminism and LGBT+ movements designed to silence us. Don’t mistake their masked bigotry for genuinely caring about everybody.
the reason I like tumblr is because it’s so easy not to be found here. I don’t have to worry about people from real life being able to find me bc I can hide my blog from search engine results. I can be openly gay here and have a little space to myself to explore my interests and stuff. Social media has always made me really anxious as I’m a naturally reserved person. I’m reluctant to use such widely used sites like Instagram and twitter because I don’t want my family or friends I’m not too close to find me on there ! And also why the fuck do twitter and Instagram make your following and likes public
exactly like these sites DEMAND access to your contacts and phone number and even when you say no they still recommend you to other people based on your phone number and real life proximity to other users. That’s so fucking creepy. I do so miss the old days of the internet where everything wasn’t so connected to your day to day life.
please for the love of god learn to have nuanced stances on things based on empathy and compassion
fun fact but you CAN be against horny freaks sexualizing children AND simultaneously have empathy for sex workers and adult content creators who Don’t Do That and are just trying to make a living, while also not treating them as expendable little footnotes in the process of taking a hammer to aforementioned horny freaks
and also potentially consider that staff literally does not give a fuck about either of these things and is just shamelessly writhing against having been removed from some app store or what the fuck ever
