If you play video games with friends and they decide not to play with you anymore because they – and I quote – “have more fun”? The answer is not to bitch about the failures they have with various games. It means that you, as a ‘friend’, made playing games with you feel like an unpaid job and not fun. Video games are meant to be fun (I mean, check the Rooster Teeth gang and their lets plays – they fuck with each other but they ALWAYS have fun with the games they choose). If you constantly tell someone how much they suck and how poor of a player they are because you think you’re superior than them, eventually no one is going to want to play with you.
(((For backstory)))
I heard my roommate literally talk trash about someone he calls “friend” because they have more fun playing games without him. I used to play Resident Evil with him and stopped playing because I got so tired of being belittled by him. This is the same man who refuses to spend time with his wife and son unless she gets angry or upset and then he wants to tell her she has no reason to be upset. The same man who when we went out to Christmas shop, wanted her to tell him where she was every ten to fifteen minutes. His son wanted to lay down in the living room with him – he didn’t want his dad’s attention, just to be in the room – and the man snapped at him to go away and go to the bedroom. This man has literally driven his wife to leave numerous times (this last time? He said he felt like Ethan would kill himself if they divorced and it scared her into coming back). He’s so insecure cuz “evweyone leaves” but he doesn’t want to look at the major common denominator – him and his superior to all, super shitty attitude.
ONE ( ALIAS / NAME ): Kallin TWO ( BIRTHDAY ): August 28 THREE ( ZODIAC SIGN ): Virgo FOUR ( HEIGHT ): Between 5′4″ and 5′7″? I haven’t measured my height in a long while. FIVE ( HOBBIES ): Writing, watching Let’s Plays, roleplaying, sleping [cuz I work way too much] SIX ( FAVOURITE COLOUR(S) ): Blue, Silver, Blak SEVEN ( FAVOURITE BOOKS ): The Sight, The Dark-hunter series, The Shadowhunter Chronicles, Maze Runner Series, House of Night Series, The Sazi series, The MAximum Ride Series, The Alex Cross Series….yeah, just a lot of freaking books. XD EIGHT ( LAST SONG LISTENED TO ): Lucifer [Live] – SHINee NINE ( LAST FILM WATCHED ): While it was in theaters? DP2, I think. I general? Jim Carrey’s version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas TEN ( INSPIRATION FOR MUSE ): It varies for each muse [I have like 50], so I draw from a lot of things. ELEVEN ( MEANING BEHIND YOUR URL ): It’s a play on my favorite Shadowhunter Chronicles book, The Bane Chronicles. xD
So I’m super behind in watching videos cuz I basically work or sleep? But one of my favorite moments ever watching a let’s play is when they played Dead By Deadlight [the Of Flesh and Mud DLC] and Michael was downed and hiding in grass while Gavin LITERALLY just ran around him and never spotted him. Michael bled out before Gavin ever found him. He spent the entire time just taunting Gavin and it is fantastic, I laughed so hard and I needed it.
In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue.
Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.
Reblog to signal boost! We must force change.
I might actually do this because this really should be dA’s move, not tunglr’s. Tumblebumble had been a 16+ site from the start, and dA already had a restricted mature content policy that still hasn’t gotten stuff like a puppy drawing flagged. Meaning, not even the discommunitave deviantFART has gone this ham on an issue, not even their arbitrary UI changes.
You are still going to be here after the change. If your characters and relationships you’ve made on this shit storm of a site, is too important to abandon.
