#my problem w people spending money on the checkmarks isnt that they cld spend that money on donation!

if i see anyone else acting like the staff of this site is our friend im gonna have to start taking users out back like old yeller. y’all cannot act like tumblr is the exception to corporations not being people. u can simultaneously acknowledge the importance that they will find ways to make this site profitable without introducing invasive algorithms (checkmarks, crabs) while also understanding that staff have done exceptionally little regarding the racist and transmisogynistic bigotry on this site & have gone out of their way to shoot down blogs calling them out on it. ‘people dont need to justify spending on harmless silly gimmicks’ and ‘its not a good idea to blindly support a team that refuses to act against particular kinds of bigotry on its site’ are ideas that can & should coexist

#text #my problem w people spending money on the checkmarks isnt that they cld spend that money on donation! #if ppl have that money free to spend they can spend it on smth harmless if they want #keyword harmless! i dont consider tumblr staff harmless until they stop harboring racism and transmisogyny #last i recall the site still hosts ads about REVERSE RACISM and i dont know if those are still up #cause my ads are localized to hong kong so i dont see the same ads that americans get #but as far as im aware staff hasnt addressed it what so ever and they are profiting off that kind of bigotry #dont currently have links to the old posts abt blogs calling out racism and transmisogyny being taken down for seemingly no reason but #if anyone does & wants 2 send them my way i will happily save them 4 use #thanks bye #edit: one of my tags got fucking obliterated so i had to add it back in #its the tag abt the reverse racism ads
