i’ve been on this site for 10 fucking years and the fact that black people and trans women are systematically chased out and have been chased out one by one from this website is really fucking gross. I hate this website. Racist fucking website.
there used to be so many more black bloggers here prior to the “nsfw” ban, this is not a space marginalized people can use to talk about their issues, terfiest place on the internet tbh.
Even before that. I remember that for about 3 years there was an annual black out. Then when the purge of “Russian Bots” happened damn near 2/3 of all the popular black bloggers I knew disappeared from the site. And people were profoundly disinterested in questioning the validity of Tumblr’s claim that the accounts were Russian agents. Didn’t matter that I knew some of them IRL it fit their world view and that was that. Hardly ever see significant black blogs on here anymore.
