because i'm seeing it come up again, a quick "mod thoughts re: all the voter fraud" discussion:

okay so like. in a perfect world, tumblr would have email verification that actually mattered, and we, the mods, would have some more effective way to prevent voter fraud than saying "oh no don't do fraud that's bad". however, we have neither of those things, and doing fraud on our polls is... ridiculously, laughably easy.

so, imagine our distress when during the techno/scar round, a lot of scar fans started getting very, very angry about fraud we weren't sure was even happening? that, indeed, we had absolutely no reason to think was happening at the time, and no way to do anything about it if was?

well. there were two options. and we took the one that would lead to everyone having more fun and things being less toxic overall in the community. the thing is: if we'd said "voter fraud is entirely unallowed, this thing we can't prevent and can't moderate", then the toxicity of fanbases blaming each other for "breaking the rules" would have gone through the roof. full-stop. and we... didn't want that. this poll did not matter. it still doesn't matter. it had grown wildly, wildly bigger than we'd expected, and we had basically no way to control the way everyone was acting about it, but we didn't want to make a statement that would cause people to be even meaner to each other.

so instead, we took the funny option. we said "yeah do whatever voter fraud you want we don't care". SLIGHTLY regret that we didn't know tumblr tried to make you follow random strangers' blogs when you made a new account otherwise maybe we would have been a BIT more clear about 'don't do that', but listen. by saying "voter fraud is totally fine" we made it funny that people were cheating. we made it so there was basically no such thing as "cheating". we made it so, and this was key, the growing toxicity about "but they're BOTTING" was stupid, because like... everyone's doing it now. openly and blatantly doing it. voters fraud is a beautiful name for a baby girl, and this poll doesn't matter and isn't worth getting worked up over, and you can't cheat if it's not against the rules and everyone's doing it anyway, is the idea here.

like, in an ideal world, would we have rampant voter fraud? nah. in a world where we can't stop it if it happens, though... may as well make sure both sides have equal opportunity to fraud, right? like, that makes it even again, right? and more importantly, it reminds people that this shit really, really doesn't matter.

anyway all of this is to say that if you all start coming into our notes and inbox again to start being really toxic about the other side of the poll and make me cry again i will be pissed.

what do you meeeaaaaaan ao3 doesn't have a fic that fits my extremely niche and specific desires !?!?!?!

[heartshapedcreaturefromcriptoon]

I wasn't about to say anything to this annoying little bitch because they're 18 but when I tell you that aro/aces in this fandom are literally trying to police people for merely being attracted to Alastor now like??? This is why I'll keep on saying that some of you (aro/aces) are insufferable as shit and need to shut the fuck up?

Or how 'bout

Or how 'bout if Alastor respected Vaggie and hadn't sexually harassed her by way of chin tickling and arse slapping, I wouldn't in turn look at him disrespectfully and want to give him a taste of his own touchy feely medicine?

How 'bout fans can do and feel whatever they want about Alastor cause he's not real and how 'bout everyone should stop treating fictional characters like they're real when they're not real? Including goddamn fucking Valentino...

How 'bout another reminder to stop clogging the actual queer and ace tags on tumblr that real ace people might be using to find real community and resources, with posts about a goddamn fucking ~"tumblr sexy man"~ fictional serial killer cannibal because I'm sure that real aspec people trying to look for real resources in real life are sick of all the goddamn fucking fiction by now???

How 'bout "You can write about a characters sexuality/fucking/getting fucked, but you're not allowed to explore or acknowledge any sexual attraction to them while you're writing about them being sexual and having sex, which would inherently require taking sexual attraction into consideration in order to even do that, but you're not allowed to, because that's disrespectful!" is officially the most bullshit moronic take I've ever heard...

If you don't like it, tag it as an #anti post PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOUU, you're literally ruining my day. I used to hate on shit too but I always kept it in the tags. Your think pieces are pretentious as fuck. I don't care, slut! Keep your sassy essays outta my lane!!

.

But that's okay too, cause if you stay whining on my ship tags then I'll be blocking you sluts left, right and center; like I need to filter some trash after all. That's gotta be one of my favourite exercises 💀

silly thing to get frustrated over but another internet pet peeve of mine is how ppl use the term analog horror for any internet horror project or any internet project with an 80s-90s tech style aesthetic. [guys. guys. please. i am on my knees here. mystery flesh pit is not analog horror. it's not even in video or audio form (tho it does have some audio iirc?? but it's def not the core of it). please]

i think this phenomenon stems from how most fans of the series that blew up are too young to have grown up with analog technology and thus don't really get what it even means (and I'm not mad at them or anything. they're mostly teens just having fun, who am i to tell them off). not to mention the certain tropes that started getting associated with that medium, like the photoshop liquify tool faces or creepy smiles, that are very much not a necessity for the genre nor confined to its medium, yet are still expected of it or get grouped together with analog horror despite being used in whole other forms of media

please. just say unfiction. put that word in your lexicon. also not every project with slightly creepy vibes is horror, which imo can end up feeling a bit disrespectful to creators who just share smth they intended to be comedic or for the sake of art itself (monument mythos you deserve so much better than this). like words and classifying media don't matter that much but they do help sometimes. also I'm just nitpicky and this post is merely me venting out frustration over smth that doesn't matter much so please absolutely do not take it to heart

[quirkle2]

not saying i'd do this cuz im very very hesitant but . people have patreons for like,, wips n stuff right?? like people pay to see ur work early or whatever? would any of y'all be at all interested

[spectrearia]

this is kinda random but it crossed my mind again today and I figured I'd bring it up, but if you're a friend/mutual of mine and you post art or something that I don't reblog, please don't take it personally. i have a lot of fandoms blocked for my own reasons and quite a bit of the content that y'all post falls into some of that and I just straight up Don't See It kfjdng

anyway. felt like clearing that up just in case it bothered anyone ><;;

[disdaidal]

"people really ship that omg that's so disgusting"

yeah honey people really ship that. haven't you ever heard of the internet rule 34: "if it exists, there's porn of it"?

well now you have. now that we've cleared this out, you can carry on minding your own business and focus on what you like instead.

oh and have a nice day.

A post on my other account actually got popular enough for someone to complain that I should tag my post as suicidal ideation? And idk why I feel so offended about it but like buddy this is my account it is tagged as bpd VENT and under bpd ....where suicidal ideation is a common theme and also occurrence. Idk how people exist on the internet in any sort of mental health community if they can't take seeing thoughts that are a bit suicidal sometimes. Just block me bro we're on TUMBLR. SUICIDAL POSTS ARE ALMOST INEVITABLE ?? 😔😭
