tumblr ceo is having a transphobic meltdown
(hexbear.net)
completely nuking like a dozen trans women's accounts after tumblr user predstrogen got banned so hard every single image she ever posted got deleted (which isn't how tumblr bans work), and claiming the og ban was because of threats towards him. the one threat he could point to was this
he said tumblr would work with the fbi to investigate this shit
link to his statement. he originally misgendered her, then corrected himself to degender her, then finally used corrected himself to use her actual pronouns
TUMBLR? You mean...like proto Hexbear and bunkerchan?
Way to alienate your own customer base.
like, basically everyone i follow on there is trans! like 70% of posts that make it big these days are by trans people, especially trans women! what a baffling move*
*i mean, it's very obvious why it's happening, but like. if i'm the ceo of tumblr and i see this shit i go "ahh! my users are trans! i should NOT be a transmisogynistic piece of shit!" because i want money and people to use my website
My pet conspiracy theory is that a lot of the "SJWs" who preached revenge against men or shit like that were all feds trying to do full character assassination of the LGBT identity in its entirety. This way, porky has to say that he wants to save the west from the scary rainbow people and that can instill an unshakeable loyalty to him among the lumpens.
It seems more like those types moved to Twitter
Yeah, I would have thought trans people was a huge portion of tumblr regulars (and queer community generally)
