Alrighty

*insert The Final Countdown here*

Given that I’m one of the minors that ~must be protected~ and thus could never view any unsafe content, I doubt I’ll be deleted, but you never know how badly the bots are fucking up at this point. So anyway…

I’m currently in the process of exporting my blog as an html file and to my WordPress account. Once the latter process is finished, it should be at (https://)captainbubblebath(.)home(.)blog

And obviously, if nothing happens to me, I won’t delete. I’ve had this blog for 3 years now, I’ll be damned if I’m letting it go. I will be participating in tomorrow’s boycott though, so don’t expect any activity from me on here until Tuesday. May post something on WordPress so y’all know I’m still alive.

This is honestly my most active social media account, so I have little options to communicate with anyone online. I do have WhatsApp tho, so just pm me if you want it. I’m also contemplating twitter, but still not sure.

M’kay? M’kay. That’s that. Good luck to everyone, don’t die please. I’ll see you on the other side.

Edit: Heyo! Still alive! Although I think my tumblr is as well. Won’t know for sure until tomorrow though.

The Official “Log Off” Protest F.A.Q!

The “Log Off” protest is in response to the recent NSFW ban announced by Tumblr. The ban flags all content the filtering system detects as NSFW, reducing visibility to the community. The system has proven time and time again that is inefficient, oftentimes flagging SFW material as NSFW.

This SFW material includes art, memes and so on. This ban directly hurts the community and will not solve the actual problems at hand due to the poor flagging system. Because of this, the entire community will suffer.

So to respond, I propose that every user on Tumblr logs off of Tumblr for 24 hours on December 17th at 12 am EST.

Times are listed above depending on timezone!

This post responds to some very common questions about the protest. So make sure to read it over!

THE BOTS HAVE ADAPTED THEIR CONTENT TO BE SFW

TUMBLR JUST WIPED OUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEIR USERBASE FOR A SOLUTION THAT DIDN’T EVEN WORK

YOU SEE THIS @staff

@staff @support

Tumblr: “we’re getting rid of porn to combat child porn and bots”

Porn bots: +10 INT ; +20 CHR ; attacks now do 50% more damage

Honestly, I don’t even post, consume or reblog all that much adult content on here.

But the way @staff has handled this makes me absolutely furious. It’s about so much more than wanting erotica on my dash.

Tumblr has always been a community that is very female.dominated, with lots of content-creators, fans, sjws and just women talking to other women about the things women want to talk about. Sometimes, these things are sexual in nature.

And on just about every other site, that’s an impossible thing to do, because on the one end of the scale, anything to do with sex, especially female sexuality, is shamed or prohibited (this is where tumblr’s headed! Yay, purity culture!) or on the other hand, dominated by male gaze and predatory behaviour.

For Staff to pretty much shrug and say “you want sex, go someplace else” means to ignore the user base that built this website, that found a secure community here, that dared explore their identities in a relatively safe space.

The pornbot plague is an intrusion of those “other places” into our space, and instead of dealing with it, Staff decided to punish those who have been here all along. Like shooting a patient because they contracted the measles instead of nuking the infection.

Nipples are nipples, tumblr. There is nothing inherently sexual about some and not others, depending on the shape of the body they’re attached to. We’ve had this discourse for years. Adding the word “presenting” doesn’t tidy that over.

It was actual real child pornography with real victims that got you in trouble, tumblr, not nsfw-fanart of consensual adults getting it on.

This is betrayal of the users that have been here all along, it sucks, and I hope the backlash gets bad enough it forces Staff to reconsider. Until then – enjoy the Exodus and meme the hell out of it as you go, dear mutuals – hope to see you out there!

It’s perfectly fine to reblog it, please do! And feel free to add your own thoughts and comments as well – this is an important angle to the discussion, and it should be heard, loud and clear!

like I go on social media platforms sometimes, and I’ll put up with anything. i’ll log on to some garbage website, i don’t wanna name an actual website so let’s just make one up. let’s call it “tumblr”. so i’ll log onto tumblr and i’ll go, “can you ban all the porn bots?” and they go, “no, we’re not gonna do anything about it” and I go, “okaaay!” and then I go watch something on netflix. and then i come back to tumblr and I go, “any updates?” and they go “yeah, we flagged a bunch of posts incorrectly and deleted blogs that had nothing to do with the porn bots. because we hate you. now take this pointless april fool’s gag that doesn’t matter, go fetch!” and I go “okaaay!” and I @ staff and go, “can I have my blog back please?“ and they go “NO!” and I go “okaaay!” and they go, “you’re a little naive user, aren’t you?” and I go “nooo,” and they go “SAY IT!” and I go “i’m a little naive user.“ and then I go over to the tumblr support link (which is an oxymoron) and I go, “can this please be a functioning website?” and they go “no! in fact, we’re gonna ban all nudity on this site indiscriminately! and we’re going to keep incorrectly flagging sfw posts with our shitty algorithm! and we’re not gonna do anything about the white nationalists!” and I go “why are you doing this to me?!” and they go, “because we’re tumblr staff, and life is a fucking nightmare!”

This is the best one

Is it just me, or does this whole thing read like a John Mulany skit?

Oh wow youre so right, thats so weird
