And for the record: Even ignoring the already fishy details, the whole thing is just ridiculous because... come on. How the hell do you "accidentally" report someone? How the fuck do you manage to go through some short steps without even double-checking to see if you're reporting the right account, submit said report and then message the person in question going "teehee i accidentally reported your account OOPSIES". In other words, if it sounds too ridiculous, it's probably bullshit.

"Sorry i reported you" scam making it's rounds here.

I'm not even banned.

Vague details.

Doesn't just start with the reason for contact.

You submit help to www.tumblr.com/support or help.tumblr.com. NOT the links provided in the photos.

the proof of email photo is crunchy as hell. Looks old too.

Why do i have to contact them to confirm my innocence. lmao.

What is the scam? You rush to prove your innocence to the email and they will respond back to you needing to verify your login info and then steal your account. easy. Discord and Steam have a version of this too.

Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about the name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

(Six months ago, I did a version of this poll with about five hundred options on the spinner wheel. For this one, I more than doubled it.)

psa: if you call guys who dresses femininely or like feminine things an 'egg', im fucking stealing something out of your house. not every guy who dresses femininely is a closeted trans woman. (RADFEMS FUCK OFF, THIS POST ISNT FOR YOU)

If ANY of yall EVER do this shit to me, im deleting every single fic out of spite.

If I ever catch one of yall doing this to another author and I know youre a follower of my work I will block you personally on every platform

None of yall are the fic police. I DESPISE genai. I think its an insult to art, humanity, and the planet itself. But aint not a single fucking person here qualified to pick apart a strangers fic looking for a gotcha moment to make yourselves feel superior. If you think something is ai you can ask the author (most are proud of the ai use and will just tell you straight up) if they say yes you have your answer and can warn people. If they say no and you dont believe them you block and quietly keep it between you and maybe a close group of friends. Spreading misinformation is DANGEROUS. And NONE of you doing this shit are anywhere near qualified to do it.

THIS GOES DOUBLY FOR ARTISTS.

ngl i find it really fucking said that advocating for basic human decency and rights is considered "discourse" now.

[shadow-redferne]

“it’s ableist to be against AI art” “it’s ableist to assume disabled people can’t make art without AI” actually it’s ableist that you fuckheads keep dragging disability into this debate without bothering to treat disabled people like human beings at all in this process. it’s ableist that you keep using disabled artists as inspiration porn (anti-AI version) and it’s also ableist that you keep acting like someone isn’t a real human if they can’t make art and it’s all shitty and awful and shut. the. fuck. up.

stopppp saying that people are becoming fascists because they got brain damage from covid or vaping or whatever the fuck that is like the actual fascist viewpoint

[shadow-redferne]

the queer community NEEDS to care about those of us that are living in deeply conservative areas

they did not get to choose where they grew up and they are living under the harshest oppression

we cant punish them for where they live, we need to be working to help them as well

and that includes building online communities and resources that they can access and where they can feel safe

[shadow-redferne]

Yeah, I’m thinking of you. You scrolling Tumblr to escape your country’s facism and cuddle in fictional characters who helped piece together your identity. You writing a novel that’s secretly a queer metaphor. You in Palestine, Ukraine, Russia, China, Singapore, and my beautiful Vietnam. You in red states and small towns that are swallowing you whole. You stuck in Church basements drowning in positive affirmations meant to change you. You on Grindr and Pornhub trying to be a man. You in a library picking up Flamer, Drama, and Nimona for the first time. You on Queering the Map venting a heartbreak. You kneeling and praying to something you don’t believe. You in the ground because the world was not kind, but you were. You in the chrysalis who deserves to emerge. You who are old and thought things would be better. You who are artists and you who are leaders and you who love and fuck and exude color and life. 

I’m thinking of you.

I do consider "let people enjoy things" to be a sort of thought terminating cliche at this point. while there are of course exceptions it seems to most often be employed as a knee jerk response to any critical or dissenting opinions no matter how impersonal, which isn't so much taking a stance for the freedom of individual taste as expressing a profound discomfort with criticism being expressed at all.
