still against the new policy but people making post about the nsfw purge with that tf2 gif with medic saying “we all have three days to live” is the funniest thing
Honestly, the whole Tumblr flagging debacle reminds me of nothing so much as the official White Wolf forums back in the 1990s, whose automatic profanity filters were so overzealous that they ended up censoring terminology from some of their own games.
(For the uninitiated, the starkest example was probably the filter that automatically converted “ass” to “butt”, including when the string A-S-S appeared as part of another word. The trouble is that White Wolf’s most popular game, Vampire: The Masquerade, included in its lore a prominent vampire clan called the Assamites, who stock-in-trade was assassination. Under the forum’s profanity filter, players were reduced to referring to them as the Buttamites, and their missions as – you guessed it – buttbuttinations.)
“my cat from hell” cat owner: my cat is an agent of satan who derives pleasure from tormenting me. he has attacked me many times and killed two of my family members. he does not listen to reason, or accept any form of kindness. he knows only the tearing of flesh and the flowing of blood.
