First post in ages but it had to be said.

Hey, you know who’s a fantastic wrestler that I respect deeply?

Charlotte!

You know who DEFINITELY DOES NOT NEED A TITLE REIGN AAAAANY TIME SOON??

CHARLOTTE!!

But also:

Just admit that your roster is a joke to you and all you care about is Charlotte for some reason.

Actual line from the players guide. Samus is canonically not afraid of looking silly.

I don’t know why but that just made my day even better than it already is.

A better, more positive Tumblr

Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.

Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).  

Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.

So what is changing?

Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.

Why are we doing this?

It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.

So what’s next?

Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.

Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.

Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

It’s ok Tumblr, maybe if you shoot yourself in the other foot things will balance out alright.

Giving money away

Hey everyone, I’m giving a thousand away again, I’ll pick a random reblog, i really don’t want this money, it doesn’t make me happy and I’m hoping it’ll make someone else happy

Share the love and I’ll share my money

Wut

Why in the fuck is the WWE Championship match BEFORE a mixed tag team match that’s only had two weeks or so of build up? A kindergartner wouldn’t even make that decision. Why in earth would you make your biggest title a mid card match? Complete disrespect for AJ and Samoa Joe on the company’s part.

Hell in a Cell

I’d like my first post in a while to be my hatred towards the red Hell in a Cell. As you were.

Everyone stop what you’re doing and go listen to Elias’ album. It’s short, but it’s more incredible then you could ever imagine

Fun fact, Kyle O’Reily is actually a hero of mine. Being hypoglycemic, seeing someone with diabetes like Kyle be one of the top athletes in the world is incredibly inspiring to me.

Walter Vs. Josh Bodom [July 8th, 2018]

Can we just talk about the raw power of the beast that is Walter? The man with the nickname “The Gorilla” has proven time and time again that as far as “forces to be reckoned with”, he’s the final boss. Seen here caving in the chest of Josh Bodom at RevPro’s Live At The Cockpit 30, Walter’s strength and strike-based attack will tear his opponents down before he even does a wrestling move- of which he’s proficient. How long until he meets a task he can’t conquer?

That… might… actually happen.

July 30th, Walter goes head-to-head with one of the hottest stars in the indies, PCO, Pierre-Carl Ouellet at International Wrestling Syndicate’s Hardcore Heat 2018 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. For more information on this incredibly booked match, click here: https://www.facebook.com/events/615697858768057/

13 reasons why you shouldnt watch that idiotic show:

selena gomez is one of the ppl behind it and shes an oportunistic weasel that refused to tweet out her support for BLM and diminished others that did

the show romanticizes mental ilness, and since its marketed to a fairly impressionable audience you all need to realize that if we dont point out how fucking shitty this show is the kids will think its non-problematic and healthy

it glorifies suicide as a way to get your revenge on your highschool bullies. it baffles me how no one in charge for that show even gave this a second thought, and its their main fucking storyline. what the fuck.

it shows EXTREMELY graphic r*pe scenes for shock-value and a way to attract more audience. thats fucking disgusting.

for a show that claims its point is raising mental healh awareness, it does a bad fucking job on trigger warnings

hannah lists the protagonist as one of the 13 reasons she killed herself. why, you ask? because he left her alone when she repeatedly told him that she wanted to be left alone. because he listened to what she asked him to do, over and over. so whats the moral of the story here? no means yes? fuck you.

she created a tape-based scavenger hunt and guilt-tripped everyone that ever did a mean thing to her, and what is the message there? cause hows that for a clapback, commit suicide but make sure they suffer for it? what? the? fuck?

She asks a school counselor for help with r*pe aftermath and recovery and for some brilliant reason the writers decide that he dismisses her issue, even despite r*pe being a common thing school counselors hear about and help with. the moral here being, dont ask for professional help, dont reach out. they’ll ridicule you. what a great fucking message indeed

it tries hard to make you feel sympathetic for a person who allowed for his girlfriend to be r*ped by his best friend. i might vomit by the time i reach the end of this post

it pretends to be educational, but its the worst place for you to educate yourself on real-life menal health issues that exist for other reasons than plot furthering

“you shouldve told me that when you were alive”. yikes. because according to this show, depression and suicidal tendencies can be cured with teenage love instead of getting help from psychologists and psychiatrists. fucking outrageous, thats what this is.

every single person in their highschool acts as if life ends right after it. as if highschool is the defining chapter for the rest of your life. guess what? it isnt, not by a long shot, and you shouldnt make kids believe that everyone in their future will treat them as badly as their 15 yr old bully.

no one, not a single person is shown to be doing well or getting better. there is not a single optimistic story for any character. no one manages to cure themselves. no one gets proper help, out of 20+ characters. thats both unrealistic and harmful for young kids that watch this show because you marketed it towards them.

in conclusion, this show is a fucking trainwreck. there are multiple sites you can google and educate yourself on mental health and suicide prevention. please, dont let anyone that watches this show think that any aspect of it is in any way educational. this show is monetizing a really present and pressing issue by turning it into drama and edginess, all while marketing it as an educational show. Please, for the love of God, do not watch 13 Reasons Why.

Shawn Michaels Hints at “One More Match”

In a shocking interview with SkySports earlier today, former WWE Superstar and Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels teased the idea for a potential return. Shawn of course retired back in 2010 after being defeated by the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Shawn has been shooting down ideas about a potential return for eight years, this morning being the first time he hasn’t. Shawn said: “It’d have to be done the right way and just one more match and not something that goes on for longer. It could be possible, but fans would have to remember that they won’t be getting The Showstopper or Mr. Wrestlemania, and that I’m 52 years old.”

Shawn first teased the idea of returning to in ring action at Wrestlemania 32, when he came out in his ring attire for the first time since his retirement. When asked about who he’d want his opponent to be, Shawn threw three notable names on the table. Current WWE Champion AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, and Mr. Five-Star Match himself, Johnny Gargano. Of course this might be just Shawn stirring the pot and getting fans riled up, but Goldberg did the exact same thing before his return. Needless to say, it’s safe to assume that HBK would be someone to keep an eye on in the months to come.
