Bored So I Made This

I go to the grocery store, heading straight for the dairy section. Positioning myself in the middle of the milk shelf, I let out one single long, wailing, cheese-curdling scream. Every single carton of fresh dairy product within hearing distance has now been rendered undrinkable. The poor worker whose only task this shift was to keep me out of the store and most importantly away from the dairy at all costs is fired on the spot. I do not linger to bear witness to the grief and destruction I have caused. Knowing that I caused it is enough.

These petty, pointless acts of meaningless evil are the reason that I will not see the kingdom of heaven.

Every user on Tumblr at this point is aware of the transfem focused bans that have gone Severe in the last few days again. Or, every user that is transfem aligned or follows someone who is. Which makes me ask, how/why the hell hasn't the Tumblr staff or @photomatt addressed this at all yet, and how it's still going so hard.

It's very much not like this is the first time this has happened, it's been a prevailing issue for years on this site.

For example, back in 2022, they were made to hire a sexuality and gender bias specialist and reevaluate over 3,000 cases over their clear bias towards queer (especially transfem) users before. It is *almost* surprising how little the staff of Tumblr seem to care about their clear discrimination, after being sued before.

The ban allegedly affected LGBTQ users disproportionately.

It's not like this site has a large user base, or is highly profitable (an apparent 30 million dollar loss per year). So it seems that the staff is just going out on a, last minute before the site dies, transmisogynist rampage without real care about lawsuits or even just how the user base responds. I don't know how they can keep claiming it's not discrimination at this point.

Tumblr head Matt Mullenweg also assuaged users fears by confirming that the platform will not remove its chronological feed.

A more recent example was with @/predstrogen, which I think was the banning that got the most attention due to the CEO @photomatt actually commenting on the situation and increasing the amount of harassment she was getting. To the point where Matt followed Rita to Twitter to reveal all of the URLs she owned and also for him to just generally throw an embarrassing hissy fit.

Honestly this shit is just so fucking ridiculous and I hope nothing but the worst for all the people making this stuff happen to the users on this site. I couldn't care less about "ahhh she posed NSFW!! Or she posted something kind of weird or mean!!". Tumblr shouldn't be discriminating against users, and that's what they're doing.

I'm also aware of a lot of POC, specifically black users getting banned as well. So please don't forget to give attention to that. I just can't find any good articles to read, but if I find something I'll add it to the post.

I don't think there's a solution to how shit this site is being run. It would be lovely to have another platform to move to but I, personally, can't imagine a site like this that's also genuinely free of discrimination in the way it's ran.

Kestrel-dad not sure how to dad but he’s trying his best.
