………….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).
If you find yourself in times of trouble, ask yourself, ‘what would Gandalf do’, and remember, ‘beat a man unconscious with a big stick’ is a valid answer

The San Diego Zoo is home to two grizzly bear brothers, Scout and
Montana. They were born in Idaho, outside of Yellowstone Park. But their
mother was teaching them bad habits, marauding for food in
human-occupied areas, so she was sent to a facility in Washington, and
the cubs were moved to San Diego in November 2007, when they were
10-month-old fuzzy balls of joy.
These days, the brothers continue to play and enjoy each other’s
company, even sleeping together in a tangled heap. Montana is about 40
pounds heavier than Scout and has a more disc-shaped face than his
brother. He also likes to spend his time soaking in the pool while Scout
is always eager to play, the athlete of the two.
The Man judged her an unfit mother and put her sons in foster care, man.
