PSA: Cohost sucks too!

TW: bestiality, incest, pedophilia, suicide, zoophilia

Tumblr staff is antiblack and transmisogynistic but Cohost isn’t a better option. Cohost’s team includes former Discord moderator Kara, known for condoning “cub porn” (pedophillic furry art) on the platform. Since Kara formerly went by the handle “allthefoxes”, a reference to a lolicon group, she’d have a vested interest in its allowance. This loophole in moderation carries over to Cohost. Written plainly in their community guidelines.

Note the emphasis on “human” minors and “realism”.

The co-founder Vogon associates with known pedophile & zoophile Eevee. Cohost shuts down her critics and ignores her violation of community guidelines. For instance, her intentionally deadnaming someone’s friend.

The deeper I dig about this circle of people the sicker I feel. Cohost’s banning of toonimal was likely a PR move given the company they keep. It’s a bare minimum move (one Tumblr still hasn’t taken for some reason) that they don’t deserve all this credit for.

A screenshot of a Cohost post by Kara @kaara Reads: ok i really hate engaging with stuff like this because i think its wildly unproductive but all of a sudden someone decided an old username of mine sounded similar to the name of a forum where people post loli? and someone mentioning that the username was similar got accepted as fact? and i see people posting that clearly i was obviously referencing a forum i have never heard of and therefore i am some kind of loli/cub/whatever enjoyer and would jump on 10000 grenades to protect this content or whatever. this is like, blatantly untrue and seems to have been accepted as truth because one dude thought maybe that's where i got that username from? that username was a reference to the old "all the things!" meme way back when. crazy that this shit gets accepted as random fact i generally believe that most of the things people say about me on the internet are false1, (though i will never claim perfection) but geez man people will just make shit up overnight. Footnote: 1. fun fact - i used to work for Discord. There was a brief period at Discord where cub porn was allowed. When that policy change was made, people attributed it to me mostly because I was a furry and that association has literally never left me. In reality i was against that policy change in discussion and was able to get it changed back relatively quickly. ALT
A reblog addition also by Kara @kaara Reads: ultimately a lot of this kind of shit gets shared around along with some old screenshots (sourced from shitty websites) showing me posting NSFW stuff back in 2012 in an sort of attempt to out me as some kind of pest but no one seems to do the math to realize that in 2011-2012 i was fucking 14-15 and was actively being groomed and trafficked! very cool . !ALT

I would also like to point out that the original screenshot that tries to paint cohost as allowing non-realistic CP is deliberately taken out of context and then blamed on a trans woman, in fact if you click the link to their guidelines and scroll down to the section labelled “fictional 18+ content featuring minors” it says right there that non-photorealistic visual art is also banned. The reason they specify photorealistic in the first screenshot is because the first screenshot is from a section talking about the law, because photorealistic drawn CP is illegal but non-photorealistic isnt.

This entire post is stuff taken out of context to try and paint a trans woman as a pedophile based on rumors for simply existing online.

Thanks to everyone who did their due diligence on this, something I failed to do. It was point blank transmisogynistic for me to take this hearsay at face value. Kaara is right, “all the things” was in fact an old meme in 2012, and is a more plausible explanation for her old handle. With that context, extrapolating that Cohost’s community guidelines are her fault, or her handle is a reference to a lolicon group, is nonsense. Nothing but a transmisogynistic willingness to believe the worst about transfems. To Kaara and every other transfem that had to see this post on their dash, I’m sorry. In light of the persecution transfems are experiencing on and offline, especially now, transmisogyny exempt people like me need to do better. I saw bad things said about her and immediately spread them. As a self-proclaimed ally I should’ve stopped myself right then and there and checked that instinct. But I didn’t. And for that I am truly and deeply apologetic. I’ll edit the original post to exclude the part about Kaara and link to this thread of reblogs debunking it. Transfems feel free to drop your mutual aid posts, gofundmes or cashapps in my messages. I don’t have much but opening my purse and boosting is the least I can do in light of this.

Hey OP, I just want to acknowledge and thank you for the retraction. It’s genuinely nice to see someone handle a situation like this with respect and maturity.
