kokido: sexyshadowy: doxydoo: I’m glad 17 year olds with a bone to pick and no real evidence get to dictate what stays on tumblr. This sort of nonsense is why it’s becoming clear I can’t fully commit to tumblr anymore. Enjoy the cesspit guys, this is the future for anyone who draw erotica on tumblr. Also kudos on preemptively blocking me Kylie, really shows how adult you are when you are unwilling to talk to those you disagree with. How are you supposed to change the world to think exactly like you if we can’t even talk to you. >> http://blog.somasis.com/post/125302594882/i-reported-him-for-coming-back-after-being-deleted#notes

Hoo boy. Well obviously doing nsfw art is going to definitely be skirting around those issues at the very least, but… I mean… well, maybe it’s just because of my age, but Doxies work hasn’t struck me as being particularly more troublesome than most erotic art.

Ah, there we go. The whole thing boiled down to a deranged personal vendetta against Doxy. Be sure to read the comments on this post too, because several other extremely close minded SJWs piped in on things too. I wonder if Kylie actually did something that can be reported under the Tumblr terms of service, because I can’t think of anyone who deserves to have their accounts banned more right now. Is viewing a blog marked adult (Doxy’s old blog) while underaged (Kylie admits right there that they are only 17) a punishable offense here? i don’t really want to get involved in this mess but i have to point out you’re objecting to “a deranged personal vendetta” by “extremely closed minded SJWs”, but then in the very next sentence wondering how you can use the broken reporting system to punish someone you’re upset with like, you want to uphold a standard of behavior, i totally get that. but you’re kinda sending mixed messages here i wish internet discourse ever involved talking about the real point of dispute, instead of looking for ways to demonize or hurt other human beings also i wish this pressure were being put on tumblr for not actually running their website that’s funded by our eyeballs. that seems more likely to lead to a useful outcome for everyone i’m just so tired of hostility as the default response to every problem

I’ll admit suggesting retaliation wasn’t exactly the best course of action on my part either. My only defense (and not even one I will try to hide behind) is that I actually went and read Kylie’s posts regarding the matter and all of the feedback she got afterwards and her entire attitude pissed me off to no end. Frankly she is malicious and has no regard for anything even close to resembling morals outside of her crusade. She refused any kind of reason and mostly resorted to just flipping people off in defiance before completely disabling asks to keep it from flooding in. What civil way do you propose to deal with an individual like this? I’m not even sure she is even capable of anything but being a weapon for the particular hivemind she clings to, and one that can and will fire without even having the trigger pulled. The truth is even banning would accomplish nothing in her case. Doxy lost a huge audience in one fell swoop, one that will have dramatic financial reprecussions, not to mention damage to his reputation (warranted or not, that should really be up to the people who actually look at the evidence directly, and not just other peoples accusations). Kylie maybe has a couple hundred followers, tops, based on her note counts. It’s not going to be skin off her back if her blog gets deleted. It’s not going to make her have to starve for a few weeks or miss a mortgage payment, etc, like could happen to an artist struggling to make it on their own. Technically this could even be a matter for legal action if Doxy wanted to pursue it, but that wouldn’t benefit anyone. I however don’t feel right with Kylie being able to walk away with no reprecussions and then gloat about it at the same time, and maybe if it ends up resulting in a giant shitstorm of frivalous retaliation bans on both sides then maybe, just maybe Yahoo/Tumblr will actually NOTICE and do something about the broken system.

Or would you rather artists just turn their backs and live in fear that any single one of millions of Tumblr users could run accross any content of theirs, anywhere (the content Kylie mentioned isn’t even from Tumblr, but Doxy’s own private site) and have our reputation and livelyhood destroyed on a whim and a giant cluster of people fully aware of how broken this system is, and ready to use it to their fullest capability without any fear of reprecussion on their end?
