Guys PLS help me mass report this person, they've stolen a bunch of artwork from artists and sold them on redbubble. If you guys recognise any of the artist's artwork from the video PLEASE do tag them ,spread awareness and report them.

They've also used my social links as if it was theirs.

I do not own redbubble.

Shares and boosts will be very appreciated!

Hey, let's talk about anons like this, because I know some people haven't been in a position to see the patterns these play out in on broader scale and may indeed not spot the trap.

And it is a trap.

An ask like this has several purposes.

First, it uses social justice language in passive aggressive and manipulative ways to try to coerce a behavior. In this case, the desired behavior is usually for the recipent to participate in community shunning and/or harrassment. The language above is intended to put the recipient on the defensive where, in the haste to disassociate themself from the Bad Thing, they quickly disassociate themself from the bad person, often with no particular fact checking or evidence.

The message is also intended to create a sense of being surveilled and judged by an unknown amount of people with unknown amount of social power and an unknown amount of relevance to your life.

Notice that these asks are usually framed as if they are coming from a follower or potential follower, someone who is addressing you personally and who cares about your opinion and who your blog has an effect on. However this is usually.... very much not the case. If you've ever had the misfortune to watch a gossip campaign from like this from the outside, you will very quickly notice that messages like this get sent in mass batches to dozens and dozens of strangers. (You can often turn these up with a tumblr search, if you look.)

The sender does not know you and probably does not follow you. They have a person they don't like (possibly for their stated reason and possibly not), and they are going through the reblogs of a post from that blog and mass messaging *everyone* with a form letter. They will not see your response and they will probably never even see your blog again.

Which brings us to the second goal of whisper campaigns like this:

Notice that I blacked out the names above? That's because when the recipient answers anonymous asks like this, they provide a platform for the opinion on their blog. An anonymous message like this that gets posted doesn't just spread gossip and apply pressure to the recipient, it is spread to the recipient's entire community.

The *goal* is to get access to your community. The *goal* is to use you as a soapbox.

Is the information accurate? Did anyone check? Does the anon have an ulterior social motive? BIG SHRUG

If you go into the comments on one of these whisper campaigns you will see that *most people never bother to check.*

They assume good faith from a follower, they're off balance defending themselves, and they jump straight to conciliation.

It's a really, really effective form of social manipulation, and really really commonly misused.

Please do not send me asks for donations

Here's why:

I have NO money to give you

I'm not a popular enough blog that I will give you any reach

I am a minor, and most of my followers are too

It makes me feel extremely guilty

Seeing pictures of injuries or hospitals etc are triggering for me (which are in most intro posts for this sort of thing)

They are always worded in a way that makes me feel like I am a murderer if I don't donate

It makes me feel uncomfortable

I said I don't want them, and my boundaries should be respected

I can't tell what is a bot and what isn't

I get a lot of spam from this. It is disappointing to see 10 new asks in my inbox just to be the same ask for donations over and over

Please, just respect the fact that I have said this.

Edit: To all the people reblogging this, I'm sorry you have had to deal with this too. And yes, you can put this in your pinned post! Stay safe <3

I don't understand why some people are so adamant on arguing that Black Myth, or Lego Monkie Kid, or whatever is better or worse. I'll be honest, I love Lego Monkie Kid, it's my comfort, but it's not great in some areas. And I haven't been able to play Black Myth yet, so I can't really say much on it, but it seems okay. But can't we all agree that no matter the adaptation, it's based off a cool book and we should at least try to be respectful towards each other?

If we do end up seeing Wukong vs MK, I want Wukong to struggle.

I want MK to be so goddamn powerful that their fight looks one-sided at first. Because not only was MK trained by Wukong, he was made in his image. If you're trained by the strongest, wouldn't that make you stronger?

I can see it now:

----------------------

Nezha: "Wukong, enough fooling around! I know how much he means to you and I'm sorry it's come to this. But if you don't stop him now, there's no telling how much chaos and destruction he'll bring to everyone."

Wukong: "I'm trying...."

Tang: "W-what do you mean trying?! The Monkey King doesn't "try"! You're the strongest out of everyone!"

Wukong: "I mean....I can't even lay a hand on him. I've been trying to hit him this entire time. Kid's had one hell of a mentor. "

Macaque: "....Oh Fuck."

Nezha: "Wukong...when did you stop holding back...?"

Wukong: "About an hour ago."

Redson: "...Shit."
