please, help content creators

brolinskeep:

with tumblr’s no-more-n.sfw purge already going strong, randomly flagging image posts just for containing a colour that resembles bare skin, we gotta have each others’ backs here, folks!!

if you come across posts that have been flagged even tho they are completely PG, let their creators know, please!!

because despite what they are saying, i have yet to receive a single
email notices

from tumblr about the 5 newly flagged posts of mine, and it’s been the same for other artists and gifmakers i’ve contacted since last night after noticing something of their’s had been flagged.

they flag posts, but they do NOT (yet? always? ever?) tell creators about it!



having our creators’ backs is especially important for those who have attached their work to reblogs of already existing post, e.g. creator sees image post that inspires them to write something (fictional or non-fictional)

or create artwork in response to the image, then reblogs original image posts and adds their work in the captions to it -im sorry i cant find better examples right now, but i know response works like the ones link here exist for n.sfw posts as well-, bcos they will never get notified by tumblr since the original posts aren’t their own, but their reblogs containing new works will disappear nevertheless

Okay my lovely followers, this lil’ birdy needs your help.

Since this clusterfuck of a website has now gone full on Mary Whitehouse, I am finding a ton of my edits marked as sensitive.

Yes, I am well aware of just how intoxicating Thomas William Hiddleston’s nonsense is. I know it can be an assault on the senses. I know we all joke about him merely adjusting his glasses etc as p*rn, but all joking aside, this is ridiculous.

That’s why I need your help. I am requesting reviews of my edits as quickly as I can but if anyone spots any of my edits marked as sensitive please PM me with the link. As you can imagine I have many, many posts circulating and I need all the help I can get right now.

I don’t post p*rn on my blog. All of my edits come from legitimate, respected filmmakers – many of whom have won awards for their art. I’m sure they’d be just as disgusted by this mindless censorship, so I will not be going quietly into the night. I will not be deleting any of my blogs.

I do, however, have other social media that you can follow me on just in case the worst happens…

Where you can find me:

(I haven’t posted anything on either of these sites yet, because honestly? I have no idea what I’m doing, plus I’m still spending most of my time trying to put out fires here at the moment. But I’m there). 

  • I am on Twitter (same username). I don’t currently post any of my original content there and am unlikely to in the future as I’m not a fan of the toxic culture and widespread reposting (I merely use it to follow events etc), but you’re all more than welcome to follow me there if you feel like it.
  • Please don’t ask to follow me on Instagram. Although I use the same name and icon, it is a private account for me and a couple of my closest friends. I literally only keep the same name and icon for consistency when commenting on posts there. I don’t post any of my edits there so trust me, you’re not missing out on anything.
  • AO3 I post all of my writing exclusively on AO3. Follow me there for updates. I will continue to post links here until Tumblr says otherwise.

Finally I am also looking into other sites, and will let you know if I find any that I particularly like.

If anything does happen to my Tumblr accounts I will update what is happening on Twitter, on Tomblr, on Pillowfort and on AO3.

In the meantime, it will be pretty much business as usual here, though I probably won’t be able to post a lot of new content until I trawl through my archive and sort out these stupid flags.

So please bear with me and THANK YOU all. Love you guys and this fandom so damn much!

We aren’t going down without a fight 💕

This GIF set of mine is still flagged…I requested a review. Is it him, or is it her facial expressions and movements? Does that dip look like she’s giving him a blowjob? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW. 😛

ASSHOLE SKIN TONE FILTER

THEIR ALGORITHM IS DUMB

AS LONG AS THERE IS A LOT OF FLESHY TONES, ITS FLAGGED

dumb site

Maybe we just need to always show Tom in his Jotun form.

THIS IS A VERY GOOD IDEA
