Its very interesting to see a new wave of tumblr users go out of their way to defend Ezra, claiming he was a victim of callout culture against trans women.

(Ezra is not in fact a trans woman.)

"he didn't do shit that deserved that." Hm. Let's see.

Here is Ezra celebrating a pedophile exposing genitals to children.

Here is Ezra gaslighting a victim of CSAM, saying it was their fault.

Here is a moderator of Oddballs, appointed by Ezra himself and even a friend, getting caught grooming 3 children for CSAM.

These are just to name a few things that Ezra has done, along with y'know.

Creating a site that gives (pro contact) pedophiles direct access to children.

But sure. He "didn't do shit".

Hogle Zoo is an AZA accredited facility, opening up a new area 3 acre area called "Wild Utah" to feature various native Utah species. 3 of those animals are going to be orphaned cougar cubs that were rescued and unable to survive in the wild on their own.

Note that 2 of these cubs have shortened ears and tails because of frostbite. They were rescued in Nebraska where the weather conditions were severe, and again, these cubs were unequipped to handle it on their own.

This would be a very positive story about giving orphaned cubs a second chance at a good place where they will receive all the care that they need... or so you would think.

Instead, multiple people on the comments were asserting that they were just going to prisons, one even going so far as to say that it would've been better to just let them die.

Wonderful. Nothing says "I love animals" than explicitly saying that they're better off dead than at an accredited zoo. Again, you will note that 2 of the 3 were suffering things like frostbite when they were rescued. There is nothing humane about letting animals that are within your power to help die like that.

I cannot, and will never, understand the "logic" behind this kind of mindset. Yes, baby orphaned animals die in nature all the time. No, we cannot save them all. But for those we can help... why not help them? And why is a life well cared for at an accredited zoo somehow worse for them than suffering a slow and painful death from starvation and exposure?

These animals do not have the same concepts of freedom vs. prison like we do. All they knew was that their mother is gone, and they were cold and starving.

Yes, bad or less than ideal zoos exist. Hogle Zoo is not one of them. Zoos and aquariums are not universally prisons, and if you think that, then let me just ask... what kind of prisons have you been to!? Seriously, all of the animals I've had the privilege to work with eat better than I do, and are treated vastly better than human prisoners are. How privileged must you be to think that all zoos and prisons are equivalent to one another!

Here's the reality: the zoological industry is a complex, nuanced thing that is ever improving and expanding. We're not stuck in the 1970s like you are. Stop judging animal welfare based on vibes, and stop drinking the PETA, HSUS et al. kool aid, because they're lying to you.

No one can make me hate Perc/abeth more than Rick Riordan himself, because wotg especially has me hoping that they just break up 😭 Like please! No more misogyny directed at Annabeth and what I can only describe as vitriol towards Percy (and suprise, both of these issues contain hidden ableism)!

you said it! why are we retconning them like this?!

[orcinus-veterinarius]

Apparently PETA is going after Steve Irwin’s zoo.

Step-by-step: Let's report a radqueer for p*dophilia on Tumblr and CyberTip

What do you do when you encounter a radqueer that's outright saying IRL children can consent, or that they're an adult in a relationship with a child, or something similar? It's a very scary situation. In this post, I outline what to do, specifically how to report them to CyberTip.

Reporting to CyberTip is fast, easy, and you don't have to leave any form of contact information with the website.

Tutorial on each step is under the cut.

[This is a sequel post to my tutorial on how to report a radqueer for violence, so this first section is the same as that post.]

Archive The Post

When a radqueer advocates for violence, child abuse, animal abuse, abuse of a corpse or actual CSAM material, it's very important that you archive the post. Saving evidence of radqueers promoting harm is important, especially if this user later comes back after their account is removed.

(It is important to note that I am specifically saying "advocates for" as in in real life. If a radqueer coining post doesn't specify, it can be reported to Tumblr as IRL. I'm noting "IRL" here because so many people cause debate when the topic of fictional child porn comes up. Leave arguments about this off my post, we'll talk about reporting that another time.)

You have two main options for archiving:

Archive.Org

Archive.Is

I tend to use both archivers, but if you only want to use one I suggest Archive.Is. Open the main page and copy-paste the URL of the RQ post into the field. Press enter, and it will store an archived version of the post. (Sometimes this takes longer than other times, this is based on how many people are using the site at once.)

If you plan to do a lot of reporting, install the Firefox extensions for Archive.Is and Archive.Org, they let you archive your current page with one click.

If a page has been archived before, you get this message. If it looks like a post has been edited or there are new replies in the notes from radqueers encouraging it, I suggest archiving it again.

Now you've got your updated archived URL. Hold onto this URL.

Report Them To Tumblr First

You'll need to view the post in dashboard view if they have a custom theme. Custom theme URLS go like blogname.tumblr.com, and dashboard view is something like tumblr.com/blogname/post122121212121212121.

Once in dashboard view, click the hamburger menu (the three dots), and you'll see the red option that says "Report blogname."

This takes you to a basic categories menu. Select "Report something else." That takes you to a sub menu which lets you pick from the following options:

Copyright violation

Trademark violation

Harm to minors

Privacy violation

Impersonation or Non-Genuine Behavior

Suicide or self-harm concern

Hate speech violation

Suspected terrorism

Sexually explicit material

Gore, mutilation, or bestiality

Violent content or threat

I’m being harassed

Unlawful uses or content

Spam

Election Integrity

Here in our example, we're reporting pedophilia, so click "Harm to minors."

Tumblr specifically says "Don't post or solicit content that features child abuse, the sexualization of minors, or the facilitation or promotion of child sexual abuse." so if the post they're making counts as this/one of the categories mentioned here, you'll click on it and then explain how it fits what you selected. However, Tumblr does something extremely annoying - Reports are limited to 350 characters.

My tips:

State plainly what the user is doing. Did they say "children are hot"? Say "they state in this post children are hot". Did they say "I am dating a child?" Say "In this post they admit to dating a child."

Skip any "please", "thank you" or other pleasantries.

If they're hiding behind a label which is pro CSA, you might link to the original coining post of that label and say something like "they identify as xenosatanist, which is a label that means being pro rape and pedophilia (Definition of xenosatanist: )".

Once you have that done, it's extremely important that you also...

Report Them To CyberTip

For "When did the most recent incident happen" you'll click whichever option fits - Check the most recent post where this user said something about IRL pedophilia/etc, and choose the date accordingly.

Beyond this one, the options you choose will likely be the same as mine. Here's what you need to keep in mind as you fill this out:

You don't know this person face-to-face. (Unless you do, in which case you can add that - I don't have experience filling out this section yet, but it seems to ask for basic information like their name and email. If you happen to know their legal name and email, do add that.)

What specifically are you reporting them for? Are they mentioning that they have access to child porn/child sexual abuse material? Have they mentioned that they're in a relationship with a child? Are they posting tutorials for others to enter relationships with children? If it fits one of these, that's a good reason to report it, and I think it's best to just plainly say that's what they're doing. "This user openly identifies as a minor attracted person and has posted about being in a relationship with a child," is an example of something I've written in a report before.

Do you know their other social media? Have they linked to a Rentry, Carrd, Twitter, PayPal, Discord server, etc? If they do, include those links and mention that it's theirs. Include as many as you can.

You'll select your own timezone and the approximate time.

For "Was this incident:" it can vary, but I would say that the majority of pedophiles on Tumblr it can be considered to be "Ongoing." Keep in mind that you may not know if what they're doing was a one-time incident, and if they're already posting to a community that encourages and celebrates this abuse, it's really unlikely it's going to be one-time.

For "Where did the incident happen?:" your answer is also going to vary. In the post that I reported, they stated that it was happening offline (and I included the post where they stated that in one of the next sections).

Once again for "Please choose the option that best describes your incident" it's going to vary. The user I am reporting is in this relationship offline, so that's what I selected.

"Additional items" has a list of some specific things. Select whichever ones of these apply and then make sure to select "Sexual exploitation of a child not listed here," because this covers most of the things radqueers do.

Select "I have more details." Again, this user was in-person, but the website gives you several options.

In this text box, you can go into much more detail about what happened. My tips for this section:

Mention any labels they are using on their blog which support pedophilia/rape. Do they have a post on their blog where they coined a blankqueer stance that encourages pedophilia, for example? Many radqueers I've reported have.

Mention specifically what they said. In my example above, they were openly posting about pride for being attracted to children and stated they were in a relationship with one, among other things, so I stated these facts.

"i need to double check this and see what information about people you can add, i think maybe you can add their tumblr blogs and other accounts and discord and email?"

I didn't in this case, but you can leave your contact information.

Here's a very important part: AFAIK this space can be used for more context for related things, and I consider making the CyberTip line aware of radqueers part of that.

Here is an example of something I typed once, and I welcome you to paraphrase it (do not copy this verbatim). If CyberTip.org receives enough people reporting radqueers who specified the term, they're going to recognize the group as a serious issue.

"Radqueer" is an online subculture for people who consider all paraphilias to be queer among other things. Here is an archive of the online coining post: https://archive.ph/D8pAh This post also features an archive of the coiner of this term saying that attraction to children is queer by definition: https://archive.ph/D8pAh#selection-1811.8-1811.37 Additionally - Searching the term "radqueer" on sites like Tumblr and DeviantArt shows many examples of people making "pride flags" for attraction to animals, children, corpses and other heinous things. Please recognize "radqueer" as a pedophile dogwhistle term. It would help prevent more children from being traumatized if somewhere on MisskingKids.com there was a Resource focused on radqueers and the harm they do to children. I will reach out to Tumblr and tell them my own experiences in an attempt to convince them to ban radqueers from the website, but I think this would be more effective if a large organization also posted about the dangers.

You'll be given a report number once you're done, which you can keep if you like.

After all of this, I really advise you to take care of yourself. There's been some study that found playing Tetris after a traumatic event can help you process and feel better quicker.

Here is the official Tetris website (Plays after an ad)

"ERM!! You cannot go on blocking sprees in the pro para and radqueer tags because what about their feelings? You're anti disorder if you don't accept them in your space 🥺."

I do not care, I'm blocking everyone that pisses me off and makes me feel unsafe.

The growing popularity of the idea that “animals and humans shouldn’t interact ever” is super scary tbh. It hurts conservation in so many ways, but organization like PETA have so much money to lobby for these laws that I feel hopeless about stopping it tbh

Mood. All we can do is point out the obvious - things like the truly amazing impact of zoos for conservation, the mutual benefits of human-animal bonding (forgive the term), the long history of animal husbandry - and hope people start to listen.

Also, fuck PETA and their terrible understanding of nature.

i know a lot of people criticized steven universe’s portrayal of war and while i agree that there were some parts that were handled badly, most of it was pretty well-written.

unlike spop, they don’t act like war only affects the heroes and the villains, we see various characters like lapis, the cluster, the humans in the human zoo, etc. who were not part of the war in any way but were still horribly traumatized by it. similarly, all the characters treat war with the seriousness that it deserves (i believe there was a quote by greg that was something like “there’s nothing good about a war” when steven points out that rose won). it doesn’t use war as an aesthetic backdrop that only matters when one specific character is affected by it.

i don’t understand people who criticize su for its portrayal of war, then praise spop for writing a “tragic story where two lovers were separated by war”.
