Tumblr:is insanely notoriously lax in enforcing their own rules regarding harassment, violation of privacy, spambots, and child porn
US Government:hey man there’s like, 100 accounts we THINK are linked to this Russian org-
Tumblr: ok, got it [annhilates about 100 accounts in like 2 seconds and has a whole press release about it] ok, all done. now we will never have to do anything ever again
NCMEC: Uhhhhh. There’s. There’s a lot of child pornography here. A lot that hasn’t been entered into our database like we’ve asked you to.
Google and Apple: What the fuck? The mobile app’s off our store front, this is disgusting.
Tumblr: OH FUCK UHHHHHH. UH. [Makes an automated process to delete the offending blogs along with the spambots.] OK OK GOOD GOOD THAT SHOULD BE FINE- [The automated process starts deleting EVERYONE] -SHIT. SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
Tumblr Users: hey, can you delete this person that’s been threatening to kill me?
me, long ago, perfectly innocent: hm, i don’t have a lot of followers, but i wanna perform well for them so i’m going to construct a good queue system and post content that they’ll enjoy !!
Normally I don’t care about shit like this, but looking back, the people getting mad at James Rolfe for his non-review of Ghostbusters 2016 (Which was basically saying in a calm, collected and concise way “I’m not gonna go see something I know I’m not gonna like”) was the most absolutely baffling thing to me
It’s like a shitty strawman comic come to life, with the calm collected dude on the left and the insane yelling caricatures on the right, except it was real
^ Tweet by a man who stepped down from his Editor position in Birth.Movies.Death after being accused of sexual assault
^ Dane Cook, a guy who has LESS of a career now than James Rolfe
(hope Tumblr doesn’t destroy this image’s resolution lmao)
As much as the reactions disgusted me, one thing I’ll always love is that Rolfe gave them NOTHING afterwards. No “clarification post”, no fake apology, nothing. He just moved on with his life. He said what he wanted to say, and that was it. He doesn’t need the approval of pseudo-journalists with sticks so far up their asses you can see it in the back of their throats.
“Have fun sleeping with the same person for the rest of your life!” is a statement that honestly proves polygamous people don’t really know what love is
tl;dr—Tumblr expressed their gratitude and said their farewells to real-life superhero, Stan Lee. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, the epitome of girl power, premiered on Netflix. The trailer for Detective Pikachu dropped and the image of Mr. Mime will forever be seared into our brains. This is Tumblr’s Week in Review.
We’re a little sad to say that this post marks the last of our Fandometrics for the rest of 2018. That means there will be no more weekly lists or Week in Review until January 7, 2019. The good news? We’re going to have something much, much bigger take its place for the month of December. Think Week in Review, but bigger. About 52 times bigger.
Also your entire app got fucking nuked from the App Store. But that’s just a small detail, I could understand why it’s conspicuously absent here.
