captainsnoop:

the best way to play Pokemon games is like you’re an 8 year old. IV? EV? Shiny chaining? Nah. We catch pokemon because they look cool. if my pokemon is bashful or whatever that means nothing to me.

I don’t give too much importance to natures and IVs but EV training is pretty easy especially in gen VI-VII.

So.

That happened.


If you have ever been personally involved with, or defended in any way:

  • asexuality or aromanticism
  • power-related kinks such as D/s, CNC, incest roleplay, CG/l, or babyfur
  • fiction or art that depicts characters under 18 nude or engaged in sexual activity, in any context
  • actual people under 18 engaged in sexual activity, in any context
  • physically or sexually violent intrusive thoughts

And:

  • you’ve posted or reblogged any drawn obscene material that depicts a person or people of any age and appearance

You can expect to get mass reported under this category. This is already happening (under the “child sexual abuse images” category), but it’s distinctly possible that Tumblr’s tacit endorsement of it will escalate it further in the near future, and particularly, that a law-and-order mentality will weaken the divide between the mob and ordinary people who don’t want to be involved.

The reason Tumblr vanished from the App Store: Child pornography that slipped through the filters

………….we knew this shit was an issue that staff has been ignoring for ages but it finally came to bite them in the ass

hey general psa that in the notes theres a bunch of really stupid misinformation bullshit (as i should have expected) abt how this is a fandom thing, about fanart/fanfiction, and i would just like to clarify for as many people as i can that this is not a fandom thing at all, it is an issue targeting IRL minors. 

minors have been running “sex work” blogs, selling private snapchats, et cetera, using tumblr as their platforms. there are also adult rings of CP (photographs and videos of IRL minors) distributors on tumblr that have managed to slip by filters. this is the issue being looked into by law enforcement, this is the issue being pursued by tumblr, and it is the reason the purge is being done so hastily and messily (protection of minors being sexually trafficked is generally more important than avoiding Jane Doe #193′s doctor who blog being nuked by accident). reporting fandom blogs to tumblr for written content and fanart is only going to confuse the matter further and make it more likely that minors will be put at greater risk (if fake reports come in massive quantities and drown out the real reports or make alarm fatigue likely).

please don’t spread misinformation y’all!

PLEASE DON’T TRIVIALIZE CHILDREN GETTING EXPLOITED BY COMPARING IT TO FANDOMS

THERE MUST BE A PARAGRAPH BREAK EVERY TIME A NEW CHARACTER SPEAKS

THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL

NO ONE WANTS TO READ ONE BIG BLOCK OF TEXT JESUS CHRIST

REMEMBER TIP TOP OK:

Make a paragraph every time that any of these things change!

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT, PEOPLE! REBLOG TO SAVE A WRITER’S LIFE!

There is nothing that will make me backspace on a fic faster than a lack of paragraph breaks
