East Asian fanartists are starting to migrate back to Tumblr because Twitter is insane, toxic, and dying, and what we’re NOT going to do is let the fucking exclusionists get them, do you hear me? We are not going to let a bunch of feral idiots try to apply the most myopic version of puritanism to foreign artists we’re not we’re not we’re not. Form an armed brigade if you have to, do you hear me. We’re not going to bully the artists who may or may not even speak English because we have our precious standards of moral purity. If we see art that makes us uncomfy we’re going to block the artist and tumblr savior their name so we don’t have to see them again AND WE’RE GONNA MOVE THE FUCK ON.
Important note for mobile users, you don’t actually need tumblrsavior to do this!
All you need to do is go to your account settings, scroll to “Filtered post content” and input their username. This will filter
all their original posts
all mentions of their username
threads where they made an addition
posts that were directly reblogged from them (unfortunately, these get caught up too)
I always thought this option was common knowledge, but apparently it’s not..? It’s especially useful since new users and artists who don’t speak english are notoriously inconsistent about tagging, which normally means their posts slip between the cracks with the “filter tags” settings.
Another thing I recently realized you should do is look up the translation of various ship names in other writing systems, since they might not use the english equivalent. Also, remember that depending on character dynamic and “who tops”, the order of the names in the shipname gets swapped! So you actually have to block two tags per ship. Alright happy filtering MWAH!!
hot take: in order to criticize the Israeli government, you need to know more than a Google search’s worth about the Israeli government
here are some examples
criticism: Benjamin Netanyahu is a dangerous, ineffective leader that must be removed from power and the Likud party does not have anyone’s interests in mind but their own. Compulsive conscription manipulates the valid fears of Jewish Israelis & diaspora Jews (lone soldiers) in order to make the actions of the military seem permissible no matter the circumstance.
antisemitism: Israel is a genocidal settler state that needs to be eradicated and no one on Israeli soil should be treated as a civilian because all of them are settlers
god i’m not being friends with white people again, it always goes so bad (horrific levels of racism they were waiting for the moment it was ‘politically correct’ to unleash)
by white, i mean white supremacist, not european or of european descent. some people have white supremacist brain rot that was passed down for generations as their “culture” :(
