Be Aware - Tumblr Posts
made a really self-indulgent headcanon piece for aro week LOL
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA
Awareness
EVERYONE PLEASE LISTEN. DO NOT IGNORE THIS.
Article 13 is going into it’s final stages of voting.
If this gets through, it will allow many, many companies to abuse and misuse this article to take down as many memes, fan works, and even other independent creators on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and other websites INCLUDING Tumblr.
THE FAIR USE LAW AND SAFEHARBOR LAW WILL NO LONGER APPLY IN THE U.S OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
IT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES.
WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY WHAT WE BUILT FOR THE INTERNET SO FAR.
So here is what you need to do to drag this article down.
1. Spread the word
I can’t stress this enough. The more attention this gets the more people we can get to take this down.
2. Make your own content
Make your own content on the matter and make sure it is clear to others that Article 13 is bad for every internet user involved.
3. If you live anywhere in Europe, contact your MEPs
Ask them if they approve of the article and why. If they do approve of it, try to convince them in a clear, reasonable, and most sensible way possible that this law is BAD.
The article itself is way to vague about what it’s conveying to its people.
Saying that as long as the use of said internet memes or content is good as long as it’s in “good faith.”
We cannot let some shoddy government tell us what we can and cannot post.
FREE SPEECH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. NOT A PRIVILEGE.
Here’s a video on Article 13 that Film Theory made on the matter. It will explain things better than I can.

I just wanted to say everything is fine now with my Tumblr blog- i fixed the issue So please don’t worry about me now everything is fine. Although i must say if you EVER get a message from a random person claiming that they “LIke your art and that you should join this platform to share your art on there.” Then they send you a link please PLEASE- DON’T FALL FOR IT- It’s a SCAM- Last night i couldn’t sleep because how paranoid I was about something hacking my blog. I have changed my password and other measures if anything again happens. Just please make sure to be AWARE- if a bot messages you out of the blue. Other than that I’m fine now and doing alright now.
A gang of voyeurs hid in changing rooms at swimming pools to secretly film more than 5,000 young women getting undressed, a court heard.
Adam Dennis, 39, and Robert Morgan, 33, 'hunted' for teenage girls and made catalogues of their pictures to share and trade online.
Father-of-one Dennis even made 'profile documents' of his victims using social media and swimming pool club records.
Inner London Crown Court heard the gang spent days hanging around the pools in East London and Surrey for over four years between April 2013 and November 2017.
Their sick videos were only discovered when police raided fellow conspirator Miguel Jose Sainz's home and were horrified to find thousands of pictures on his devices.
The whereabouts of fellow voyeur Sainz is not known while the fourth conspirator, Declan Golden, has fled to the United States.
The court heard that the voyeur gang would sneak into changing rooms during the day and lock themselves away in cubicles, lying in wait for unsuspecting victims.
The conspirators would then conceal a small hidden camera in a bag and push it underneath the cubicle partition, allowing the camera, which was recording, to film young women undressing.
The technique, which the four called 'hunting' meant their victims would only ever see the bag partially poking out.
After capturing footage, the four would then select and edit their favourite clips into short videos and share them amongst themselves.
Morgan and his companions discussed their techniques online and even met up in person to carry out their twisted fantasies together.
They discussed 'hunting' for 'OTs' which referred to older teenagers who had reached puberty but were below 18.
Messages read out in court from Dennis to Golden said: 'I wish I could have seen some of my OTs from my school days as they were then.
Golden told Dennis: 'I have another OT on the lower end of the spectrum if you know what I mean, not really my cup of tea but it might be good for trading material.
'Mr Golden told Mr Dennis that it was 'kind of exciting to find a whole new side to you, especially one I have myself.'
'I think it's because they would be more embarrassed than anyone else.'
Gang leader Dennis, who has a 19-month-old son, and the group also cross-referenced their videos with swimming pool visitor logs and researched their victims, creating a huge database.
The group regularly discussed their sick activities, describing their enjoyment of having 'power' over their victims and getting a thrill from stalking them online.
Judge Benedict Kelleher told the two men said: 'You engaged both of you in a conspiracy which involved two other men as well.
'It aimed at obtaining images of women and girls getting undressed in changing rooms principally in swimming pools, and then storing them, editing them, sharing them with each other and in your case Mr Dennis matching them up with other information you had discovered about the women that you were photographing.
'The principle locations were two public swimming pools.
'Both of you, it appears, regularly went to those places with covert photographic equipment and spent many hours hiding in changing rooms waiting to photograph women and girls who came into the adjacent changing room or cubicle.
'You plainly both put a great deal of effort into the planning of this kind of offending.
'You put a lot of thought and consideration into the kind of equipment that you needed.
'Indeed both of you discussed also going with other conspirators, together referring to it as 'hunting'.
'The scope of this was frankly enormous.’
'Both of you were frequently visiting locations and taking pictures, and its suggested by prosecution creating...5,000 separate sets of images.
'You, Mr Dennis put a huge amount effort into collating them.
'You could create effectively a profile of each of the women and girls you had photographed for further depraved satisfaction on your part.’
Ringleader Dennis was jailed for 22 months while Morgan, who describes himself as a part-time musician and senior webcast producer, was sentenced to 20 months imprisonment suspended for two years.
Oh this hit all my red flags, I've torn down 3 already just walking Malaya to the park
Alright, to ao3's soon to be arriving Wattpad Refugees, a basic guide to general user culture:
1.) Unlike Wattpads vote system that let's you like each chapter, the ao3 equivalent kudos only allows one per work. Everyone is generally quietly annoyed about this. To engage with each chapter, you're heavily encouraged to comment. Trust me, it makes people's day.
2.) Ao3 has no algorithm. By default it's latest updated work first. You can find things to your taste through searches, filters and tags.
3.) 'No archive warnings apply' and 'user has chosen not to use archive warnings' mean two very different things. No archives warnings means the work is free from any content that could require a warning tag (character death, graphic depictions of violence, non-con, etc). User has chosen not to use archive warnings means it could contain any of the warning content, be it hasn't been explicitly tagged. Treat it like an allergen. No archive warnings apply is allergen free. User has chosen not to use archive warnings, may contain traces or whole chunks of the allergen. If you're likely to have a bad reaction, maybe don't take the risk.
4.) Speaking of warnings, ao3 has very few restrictions on the type of work that's allowed. Whatever your personal thoughts or feelings on that are, thats how the site is. You're likely to run across some dark subject matters and a lot of people are uncomfortable with reading that. You're well within your rights not like these works and have your opinion on whether they should be allowed, but harassing the authors of such works (or any works) is more likely to come back on you than them. Ao3 operates on a strong policy of 'don't like, don't read'. Use the tagging system to your full advantage to only engage with the kind of works you want to see.
We look forward to welcoming you all and seeing the fantastic works you create. Happy writing!
