Tumblr needs a mute button so bad like woahhhh

#cos sometimes blocking is a lil too aggressive and in this scenario I know certain can interpret that as ‘winning’ #as in a ‘lmao bloacked because you can’t take different opinions’ and it’s like noooo baby I it’s not like that #there’s one thing seeing a bad take (you can just ignore it) there’s another seeing it repeatedly- daily #like I can plug my ears to annoying noise in real life- why can’t I do that here?! #anyways rant over but i gotta try and curate this space a bit better so it’s not as jarring to use #and ofc /nbh #blame the algorithm #just a sidenote but also BOOKMARKS we beed BOOKMARKS BADLY

I opened tumblr to make a hilarious post but ended up scrolling for I don’t even know how long and now I forget what I wanted to say:/

#I’ve an incredible memory I promise #blame the algorithm #don’t blame me it’s not my fault #actually it’s 100% my fault

”omg I hate this new art trend it’s so corny” well you’re on the internet promoting your art as well this isn’t a gallery setting WE’RE CORNY HERE

#does it suck that we have to self promote like little jesters? Yeah but don’t blame the jester blame the king (Algorithm)

#evan buck buckely #911edit #buck is Barbie #the many lives of Buck #found it on twitter #made an account to check on AO3 status #now its randomly giving me 911 content #im not complaining #but its funny how unexpectedly not unexpected it is #i blame the algorithm #buddie

Clearing up the misinformation

I still disagree with their plans, but they are NOT removing videos from the YouTube channel!

#watcher #blame yts horrible monetization and algorithm bullshit for this #guy like me would've just opened a patreon tbh #ryan bergara #shane madej #ryan and shane #not sure why people are so pissed when dropout still exists #that entire platform is just d&d and game changer

4 people in the cast: pretty young, all in their 20s

literally everyone else: fucking ancient

put that there not for spoilers but because i think the post is funnier if its just that but wanted to put this here anyway

if anyone is curious, from youngest to oldest:

sirius (22) -> noel (23) -> claire (23) (but older than noel by a few months) -> ashe (27) -> lime (412) -> wilardo (500ish) -> charlotte (610) -> zizel + rouge (older than 610)

and the jump from 27 to 400 is fucking funny to me

#either were in our 20s or hundreds of years old theres no inbetween apparently #claire elford #ashe bradley #sirius gibson #noel levine #<- these 4 in their 20s #wilardo adler #charlotte witch's heart #zizel witch's heart #lime witch's heart #rouge witch's heart #<- yall fuckin aincent #witch's heart spoilers #wait why is this post just restating the facts of the game the most liked post i have on this blog #i dont blame yall tumblr algorithm do algorithm but man

[godbirdart]

quite surreal watching my work go from receiving a Decent crumb of reach on twitter to flat-lining because i keep speaking words like Patreon and Commissions and getting nerfed by the algorithm there

#i mean it could also be The Content too #because i draw a wide range of things and Not Everything Vibes With Everyone and that's okay!! #but i fully blame the twitter algo for being a huge piece of shit #me over here strangling website algorithms with my gay little mitts #also on the other side of this: stop hiding my mutuals work!! #i keep seeing friend art 88934579 days after it's posted there!!!!! #FUCK

have taylor and travis gotten to the stage where she discovers that he was a criminal justice major?

#randomly came across this fun fact about him #i know i’ve been talking a lot about him and t but you can’t blame me #other than the fact that im a fucking cupcake all my social media algorithm is fucked up due to the game hahah #and i’ve given up on fixing it because she’s going to the game again this weekend so yeah #travis kelce #arshia talks

Gently shaking the sort of people who go like "ew why would anyone describe a book using tropes, that doesn't tell me anything about—" honey, it's because it's a convenient shorthand. If you want to know what the story is about in actual detail, then click the link and read the summary. Maybe read a few reviews and learn what the experience was like for other people. Please, I know that you are smart enough to do a little research on your own.

And if you're not interested in the way the author described the book anyway, then why are you wasting time telling them how uninterested you are? Go find something you actually like!

#vent #“describe the themes” #sure. describing themes means the sentence “this book is about my fear of queer genocide” #which if you'll notice is not in fact the aimless fluff you think all books ever described with tropes are #nor is it necessarily fanfiction-esque content #not saying that to diss fanfiction i am saying that because tropes are not exclusive to fanfiction and i am not really a fanfic writer #there are a lot of interesting literary conversations to be had with and about and using tropes #and i am tired of people lashing out at systems of categorization they refuse to use instead of figuring out how to find what they want #i'm blaming passive content consuming habits for this one #“i can't ever find anything that's not XYZ” #okay hear me out #are you actually taking the time to look through your potential possibilities #or are you staring ruefully at whatever the algorithm (or your mutual circle) served you up by happenstance? #you have more queer options than ever. far more than i had growing up (excuse the bitterness). learn how to hunt them down.

not to be controversial but i don't think there's a nebulous army at tumblr hq personally flagging and deleting transfem users and their posts, considering how moderation on large social media networks work. i think it's far, far more likely that terfs and transmisogynistic tumblr users love to report and flag transfems themselves, and because moderation is partially automated (and automatic moderation tends to flag any trans and especially transfem related content as being explicit/bad) and in other part outsourced to overworked underpaid workers who have to take about 10 seconds per post, very few of these posts will be unflagged or restored from the other end. i'm not denying that there might be rabid transmisogynists on staff (it's quite likely, as it would be anywhere) but from everything i've seen there's very little likelihood that anybody at hq are doing that moderation work themselves or would have the time or even ability to specifically seek out transfem users to flag.

#eli talks #it's frustrating bc there's a much wider convo to have about moderation here on large socmed sites #as well as how trans women are automatically treated as Mature/Explicit Content by both humans and algorithms #threats to the monetization of any website #i get the paranoia and anger i genuinely do i don't blame people for it #i do think it's far more likely a bunch of terfs are doing this as fun and as a way to increase the hurt and paranoia

i'm sorry for appropriating swiftie culture but ms swift did not write back to december about taylor lautner. she had a prophetic vision about mike wheeler, put it into a song, and it's only now, years later, that we can truly understand the Real meaning behind it. you're welcome for this information btw

#i blame alfred for this and the fact tht me playing this song on repeat today prob fucked my spotify algorithm all the way up now 😔 #she did her thing on tht song im sorry like . what can i say #byler #<- you guys have talked abt this ad nauseam and now u will look at me talk abt it too .

Oooh you want to know what bit of misinformation about Sonic that really upsets me? Nearly everything about Fleetway Super Sonic.

Fleetway Super Sonic isn't its own transformation, it's Fleetway comics take on Sonic's standard Super form and. Fleetway Super Sonic is never even called that in Sonic the Comic and is just called Super Sonic even when Super Sonic became a separate character than actual Sonic. However there is alot of people who say that Fleetway Super Sonic is basically the original Dark Super Sonic and even will have Super Sonic introduce himself as Fleetway is fics when he really shouldn't.

ohhh i was just thinking about this not too long ago . to be honest this is kinda a sonic fandom pet peeve of mine like yeah i understand calling him fleetway super sonic as a way of making it clear which super sonic youre talking about because stc's take on super sonic is very different from any other version of the transformation. but i see so many people talk about him as if fleetway is like. his in universe name ? when fleetway is just the name of the comic company ? ive never even read stc and i knew that. overall its harmless but it still makes me go Okay but thats not correct .

#also when people say ''fleetway sonic'' in reference to super sonic and not normal sonic Like hello that doesnt make sense #i dont know enough about stc to know what he actually acts like and what the stories involving him are like #so i cant really. look at fanart of him and decide if i think its out of character or not #but with how widespread the name misconception is i have to wonder if a lot of people making fan content of him #actually know anything about stc? or if theyre basing their perception of him on Only fanart and fanfic and stuff #ive seen some people blame the name misconception on those annoying f/nf videos that were flooding youtube a while back #and that could be part of it especially among younger kids #who are getting a lot of their sonic info from whatever garbage the youtube algorithm is feeding them #but thats definitely not the root of it because i had been seeing it for years before that #idk #asks #anyway ive been thinking about reading stc lately actually i was thinking about it before i got this ask #might start soon. who knows

lately ive found it difficult to sit down and really get into a Video Game and i can’t help but think it’s because of Signalis

like, did I just play the best game ever? will anything ever come close to the way that game grabbed me by the skull?

doubtful

#I also feel this way about blame! #of course there are other good things out there #but how many can worm their way into your soul like those things #algorithms try so hard but they can’t tell you what’s going to tear your heart out #well I won’t stop looking regardless #signalis

There is something deeply wrong and disturbing with my instagram feed

#if I see another duolingo or subway surfers reel I will mcfucking loose it #I have a fragile grasp on reality as it is and this is only making it worse #which isn’t to say I’m gonna stop using the app #additionally it’s a result of me showing interest in these things #so really I’m part of the problem #but whatever I’m blaming the algorithm
