white people go like “is anyone going to redesign this nonhuman evil character as a poc?” and not wait for an answer
I know, i know, i haven't drawn Roselina a.k.a Tan ( i gave her an new name but nickname is the same. ) but look, she has an new look but i can't mix an wild cat and an dragon. Im still learning. #dragons #traditional #wip

With all the transphobes coming out of the woodworks I’ve been posting when I’ve found transphobic bullshit and it’s come to my attention that a lot of people can’t block ‘em as easily on the forums since this is genuinely harmful to a lot of people, so here’s a list of transphobes on fr to look out for/block.
TW for transphobia, homophobia and misgendering. Names will be in bold, reasons will be in regular text.
Ossium - has repeatedly defended misgendering in the past (including misgendering Scribbles), has called trans people sensitive for being upset about misgendering, claims that lgbtq people are “desperate” for representation and thinks it’s “yikes”
boggybuddy - claims that they do not agree with lgbtq+ view because they are Catholic, has admitted to misgendering irl trans people, uses the phrase “male who identifies as female” and “female who identifies as male”
aeonium - erased Fiona’s identity after it was confirmed, saying what if she was born with it like a “deformation”, claiming that Fiona being cis and born “deformed” is more interesting than her being trans
Of course these are not all of the people being disgusting in the forums, only ones that I’ve seen so far. Staff is also doing a pretty good job at shutting down transphobic comments in multiple threads so there are definitely ones that have been deleted and thus I haven’t seen.
If anyone knows of any more transphobes to block, please add them with a reason! The safety of trans people is incredibly important and while it’s great to see ourselves in Flight Rising, it’s even better if we all have a safe experience there too.
The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.
To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.
On the 17th, dead silence.
People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.
But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.
What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’
A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.
If you want to join in, here’s what to do:
Do:
Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th
Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad
Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion
Come back on the 18th and check in
Don’t:
Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)
Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.
Open the app or website (including specific blogs)
Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)
Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.
Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.
Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.
