The Tumblr Staff pretending to care about proper moderation when you can't even report a blog on their site is hilarious. Not only will the report form reject a regular blog link, but the form also forces you two write two paragraphs and fill out a whole ass Google reCAPTCHA just to report hate. Is it any reason why you don't get any reports for actual hateful individuals, Staff? When you make it as difficult as possible and smother those who are already feeling shitty in more shit, then of course people aren't going to report stuff to you because it's more stress than it's worth. Asking users to tell how this violates Tumblr's policy's. BULL-SHIT. That's your job not ours. Do it.

I swear to god I just spent like 15-30 minutes reporting ONE blog. A blog that has not only been active for years, but is marked in Shinigami eyes. What a joke website. I don't give a shit if the trans staff members actually wrote that apology. Actions speak louder than words, and so far, Staff has been silent, as far as I'm concerned.

Honestly, even if what Predstrogen had said was a grotesque, genuine death threat, the fact that Matthew is surprised by the Tumblr userbase defending a “death threat” (in his eyes, anyway) shows just how truly disconnected he and the Tumblr Staff are from the userbase. I mean, if he’s shocked Tumblr users are fine with death threats, despite it being a relatively surface level inside joke on Tumblr for years, then there might just be a flickering chance that he and Staff genuinely didn’t know about the TERF problem and Automated Moderator abuse simply by how absolutely numb and ignorant they are towards the site’s general users and discussions.

It's absolutely hilarious how Matthew Mullenweg gaslit his way into the Streisand effect.

I mean, he could've just not said anything, and the rumors would've just remained that, but instead, he went public and admitted to shit he absolutely shouldn't have from a legal standpoint, and then he basically said, "clearly I'm the victim here. ME. Little ol' basic rich white guy number 7. The true victim of this situation. I was fearing for my life. I mean, just look at this horrendous and obscene display of gorey violence!"
