Minors being exposed to pornographic material on this website is pretty horrid but tumblr could’ve either been explicitly a no-pornography zone from the start OR, in the current version of reality, it can implement a legitimate filtering system ADMINISTERED BY HUMANS RATHER THAN RUNNING A SINGLE POORLY CODED BOT WRITTEN IN PHP, the current solution directly affects the survival income of a very large amount of people and is the laziest and cheapest one they could implement.
Silicon Valley style “all our moderation is done by bots who occasionally get updated by one person” moderation is a fucking blight upon the internet and is not going to become any better or going to stop giving random false positives and fucking over people who haven’t done anything harmful because its a fundamentally capitalist solution based on minimizing the costs of operating a massive social media platform. This entire mess could’ve been averted if this website wasn’t operated on the basis of “spend as little money as possible on keeping it clean”, except now they’re swerving from “don’t do anything” to “just have our bots delete immense amounts of the website basically arbitrarily, while we continue to not actually do anything”.
Its funny that as gay Christians we have to go through gymnastics to try to prove that God loves and accepts us, that our love is blessed and our bodies uncursed, when if you go back to the Didache and other Christian writings from the earliest, apostolic age, you find a lot of condemnations of things like magic and astrology but nothing against gay love. Yet no modern, conservative Christians are lobbying their local paper to remove the horoscopes!!
Well, here you go, sodomite. Revelation 22:15 “Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.”
As you can see, you are immediately excluded from God’s Kingdom.
Bc sexual immorality totally refers to consensual, faithful gay love, and not the “whoremongers and pederasts” specifically referred to in Corinthians 1 and Timothy 1
The cashier at McDonalds handing me my small fries and three cokes:
I’m sure this has already been talked about but im going to put my opinion + view out there anyway. so I’ve seen people refer to Scorpia as a butch, and normally those are the same people who make those usually transphobic or racist (depending on the person they’re talking about and the situation) comments like ‘omg I wish this chick would step on me or punch me’. and honestly, it feels like Scorpia is getting that sorta shitty treatment as well just bc she isn’t gender conforming or a ‘smol’ girl. just like how Zarya in overwatch got the whole ’she’s not conventionally attractive so she must be butch!’ sorta label pinned on her.
being butch isn’t about your body type or physical appearance. your hair cut doesn’t dictate if you’re butch or not. you can have long hair and be butch. you can have short hair and be femme. being butch is about not aligning with femininity. more often than not you can find a lot of lesbians who are butches and find a disconnect with womanhood. it’s why he/him lesbians are a thing. it’s also in part of stylistic choices and what a person is most comfortable with.
when we look at Scorpia, she normally wears her horde uniform. when she has a chance to dress otherwise, here is how she choses to represent herself:
and ultimately decides on:
as soon as she had the ability to wear something outside of her uniform, she picked super femme dresses. they include a lot of jewelry, skirts, and makeup. this was her choice. while we don’t necessarily have to label these things as ‘women only’, but you can’t deny the fact that when u look at femme history they tend to dress in a way that is associated by society as feminine because that’s what they like and are comfortable in.
this isnt a ‘DreamWorks doesn’t allow butches’ situation. we clearly see in the gif that Catra is 100% dressed in a suit and loose bowtie. dressed in- you guessed it, butch fashion! I really think the she-ra team did an amazing job with Scorpia by showing that you can be a high femme and wear makeup and dresses even if u don’t align with what society (read as: men) view how women should be. it shows us that you can embrace femininity and be beautiful without having to be the thin and perfect feminine women we usually see in media.
tumblr is going to shit
