If you’re wanting to show your displeasure, don’t just tag staff or support. Take a page out of other consumer revolts and make sure your displeasure is known.

Don’t be an idiot. Do not threaten, harass or otherwise make this personal. Contact these companies, make your displeasure known, alert them that you are a customer and you will be leaving their brand across all boards unless they reverse their decision.

Be clear, be concise, be polite, but make your displeasure known.

New Info Will Be Added As I’m Made Aware Of It

Edit: This does nothing if it isn’t shared around

We are all upset, angry, and probably a little scared of what is going to happen to our community here. I’m no exception. But i’ve always been one to try and solve problems rationally and with a cool head when I can.

No guarantee it will accomplish anything, but contacting tumblr and it’s parent companies directly, is more likely to get us results than just screaming like a bunch of angry toddlers.

Personally undecided on what I’m going to do yet, but I’ll signal boost the above. As political power slips away from elected officials to unelected corporations and individuals, “voting” with your attention and whatever money you’ve got is arguably as important as traditional voting in terms of meaningfully influencing what you can.

*And yes, of course this applies to issues far beyond mere pseudo-moral nipple policing…

In the midst of this turmoil, let’s observe a moment of silence for the unfortunate Tumblr employees tasked with cleaning up their leadership’s mess by reviewing all the random/harmless/still-pretty-weird content that was wrongfully flagged by that garbage-ass aglorithmotron.

You’re fucking ridiculous if you think tumblr’s porn/nudity ban actually has to do with child pornography. Literally every other site can effectively moderate this issue and tumblr has been actively closing in further on their anti-NSFW move. Many sex workers and NSFW artists were removed starting last month after the iOS app was removed from the App Store. Look at FOSTA/SESTA, look at the moves throughout the year to push sex workers and NSFW artists away, look at the way Patreon, Paypal, Craigslist, credit card companies, etc. have over-policed this issue and forced sex workers away. This is all so obvious.

Also, explicitly banning and calling out “female-presenting nipples” - note there’s an exception if it’s after giving birth or during breastfeeding because OBVIOUSLY the only way breasts and nipples are okay is when you’re fulfilling your goddamn job of being an incubator and not just posting nipples wilfully or for (gasp) money. Because obviously, when we’re talking about the banning of child pornopraphy we must target “female-presenting nipples” and let everyone know that those are the real problem. Nipples are only okay when they’re “male-presenting” and in the proximity of a newborn that is confirmed yours.

Like c’mon… FOSTA/SESTA has been presented under the guise of fighting human trafficking just like these moves are no different. If they wanted to go after these very real issues then they would and they definitely wouldn’t be (dangerously) conflating the issues. Also why can I still look up violent pro-Nazi, antisemitic imagery but not a goddamn nipple??

BTW read into how Apple has been forcefully pushing for this move & how easily they can go after other NSFW-content websites and force them to comply.

From the moment Tumblr was bought out, this was inevitable.

This has been the plan for some time. All they needed was a pretext.

Silent Hill Darkness

I kind of stick my nose up in the air when it comes to a lot of late-era TSR products. So much of the output felt like a flimsy cash grab, it was easy to get fatigued. Because of that fatigue, I missed Night Below (1995), one of the last solid gold TSR releases.

Night Below is a 14-level Underdark campaign in one box. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I hold Chaosium campaigns in high esteem – I reckon this is the closest TSR ever got to matching the depth and breadth of those adventures.

Written by Carl Sargent, the game starts with the PCs acting as couriers for a wizards and getting waylaid by bandits near a rural village. Investigating the town yields a number of small encounters and evidence of a dark and sinister plot unfolding underground. Once players venture into the Underdark, the focus of the game shifts not to hack and slash, but diplomacy as they try to find allies among the (mostly) sinister inhabitants and unearth the details of what is going on. The last part is a final confrontation that is, well, fricking crazy. And a bit gross. It’s a delight and I won’t spoil it.

Night Below’s charms are many. The design work is excellent (I even adore the logo font) and there are tons of handouts and art cards and overhead monster illustrations for use on a grid map. Interior illustrators – Arnie Swekel and the late Glen Angus – do a bang up job.

I think the real pleasure of Night Below is how free it is from the fetters of campaign settings. It’s a generic Underdark. There’s no R.A. Salavatore baggage to contend with. As such, it is actually my favorite portrayal of the Underdark – this one can be whatever you want it to be and it will damn sure surprise your players. If only TSR produced more boxes like this…
