Report and block until it is done

What happens when you don't report pornbots

What you can see here are among the most popular posts for the convin (Connor/Gavin Detroit Become Human) tag for the last month. And presumably lollipop, cityscape, rick day, eva long, dostoyevsky, and all the other random, unrelated tags added to these posts.

You can see two identical posts made by separate bots that feature a bit.ly (so, disguised, you don't know whether the address is safe/where you're going) link to a website that contains an image of a pretty young woman (but who knows what else).

Each post is liked by about a dozen other bots, and only bots. (I reported them all, so can confirm their profiles were obviously those of bots/porn bots.) Some of them even use the same image in the pfp. Some are developed blogs full of porn images, some are clearly newer and don't even have a pfp yet. They are all gaining legitimacy from each other by the likes which act as links to their Tumblrs, and adding legitimacy to the post they have liked, which links to their ultimate goal: the site where they make money in undoubtedly dodgy ways.

They are doing this to legitimise their websites for search engines like Google, but if you don't care about that, it has the same effect in your Tumblr tags.

If we don't stop them, ALL your favourite hashtags are going to be full of meaningless posts like this, and probably porn you don't want to see (very different from porn you DO want to see).

This is why we report and block, lads. Not just because they are annoying and irrelevant to us, but because if we don't stop them they will take over this hellsite, and they very clearly do not understand the nature of the hell in which we live.

[Edit:] I didn't expect this to go beyond my feed, who already know this, but report as SPAM. I've already reblogged other people with that addition on this post twice, so I won't reblog clog up the feed again, but I'm editing the original post so if anyone sees this (who didn't see Neil Gaiman's addition that said to report as spam) they'll see it here. That's the best I can do.

!! READ !!

This is a serious post.

So, I'm sure we're aware it took me tagging Tumblr Support on here for them to review the appeal I issued last month. I was falsely flagged, and my blog was marked as explicit for a picture I uploaded to accompany my 'Straight To Video' Sam Monroe fic.

Now, it's all over with, and I'm glad, but I want to bring attention to the problem I brought up in my appeal - the disgusting thing that is allowed on Tumblr.

I'll begin this post with talking about Twitter (will refer to it as 'X' for convenience). About 2 years ago, there was a major issue on X which I'll refer to as 'The MAP Movement (TMM).'

TMM was a time where MAPs ("minor attracted persons," which are just pedophiles) were trying to weasel their way into the LGBT community, wanting to say that being a 'MAP' was a sexuality, a lifestyle. While TMM was going on, there was a flood of minors on X that called themselves 'AAMs' - "adult attracted minors." MAPs and AAMs went hand in hand, because they were feeding into each other's deplorable fantasies. Obviously, there is a difference between being a minor and having a crush on someone who happens to be an adult, and a minor who is self-aware and ENABLES pedophiles.

This is where Tumblr comes in.

When Twitter was rebranded to X and bought by Elon Musk, TMM, MAPs, and AAMs were wiped off the platform. A couple years ago, I would be spending most of my day reporting and blocking these disgusting people. Since they were run off X, they have since come to Tumblr.

Just as they did on X, they use "creative" tags such as the following, which is a list of terms for you to block.

— l0l1t4, l0l1t, l0l1, m4p, m4ppr1d3, m4pr1d3, pr0m4p, prom4p, 44m, aam, pr044m, pro44m, p3d0b41t, p3do, p3d0, p3d0p1l, p3d0ph1l3, pr0p3d0, j41lb41t — and any other combos of the letters and numbers that apply to MAPs, pedophiles, and AAMs.

I'm bringing attention to this because, obviously, it's disgusting and harmful. Under these tags, there is child pornography, young of age girls playing into the 'jailbait' stereotype (young, stupid, and impressionable), and nasty old men AND women preying on young girls and boys.

Tumblr has a general issue when it comes to NSFW content. Their guidelines (last updated Feb 1, 2024) state as follows:

"Harm to Minors. Don't post or solicit content that features the abuse of a minor, that includes suggestive or sexual content involving a minor or anyone that appears to be a minor, or that facilitates or promotes child sexual abuse. "Content" may include photos of real individuals, illustrations, animation, or text. Posting or reblogging child sexual abuse material is a serious crime for which we have no tolerance. We report all such instances to child protection organizations and law enforcement around the world, including the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children."

Despite this guideline, people get around this (and the ones regarding self-harm, gore, and mutilation, as well as promotion of eating disorders as EDs fall under self-harm) quite easily. Shift some numbers and letters around, and bam, you have an evasion.

I want Tumblr to hold these accounts responsible for the horrible shit they encourage, promote, and glorify.

Why do people still follow this guy

[pendragyn]

Hello sorry for tagging. I am very sick, my asthma is at its maximum level, my nose freezes, I have no medicine or food. I am in bad shape financially, I am a black disabled, who uses multiple medications, I pay for my food and lodging

Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.

17 ish hour old scam blog regurgitating the same lies as usual, hiding behind marginalized identities in case anyone catches on to their bullshit. I'm pretty sure a lot of these are run by a botter.

to report them on the android app, go to the pinned post and copy the link to that, then go to the thing next to "follow" and report for something else -> unlawful uses -> phishing, then just type in what's going on. remember to block them too.

Hello~ 👋 How are you?

If you don't mind, can you help me understand the whole Jimin hate and something about a book? I'm as lost as one can be.

Is it Hybe or is it a fan publishing a book? Is the hate towards Jimin in the book or is the writer a Jimin hater outside the book? Where did is this book even come from? What's going on? Who are you? Where am I?

Pls I'm so confused

I hope you're doing well!

Borahae 💜

@chikooritajjk put together great reporting posts with info about that book that I reblogged and ill link here for you

And to quickly sum up your questions....

Is it Hybe or a fan publishing a book?

It's a fan. A taekooker who wrote a taekook fic on Wattpad that she is now publishing as a novel called Ocean.

Is there hate towards Jimin in the book or is the writer a Jimin hater outside the book?

Both

Where did the book even come from?

The author is publishing the book from what used to be fanfiction, which would be fine, if they still weren't using BTS to promote their book that is full of hate towards Jimin. They are using their names in the promo, in the summary, they are using their images in both promos and in the book. They are using "taekook" as a buzzword to promote their work in order to sell to taekookers, etc. Which is then getting into copyright infringement issues and hate, libel, slander issues against Jimin. Since they are using his name, his band, his image to promote their story where he is grossly vilified in it.

And this isn't about fanfic being reworked and published, that happens all the time and it's normally a great thing. It's the way they are using BTS and the maknae lines names and the content and context in which they are doing so.

What's going on?

Shitty people doing shitty things. Report still if you can, follow the links above where it was laid out nice and easy for everyone to do

Who are you?

Storm 🥰💜

Where am I?

My blog 😘

Hope that helps!

[thecovenofcrows]

What are we reporting Astro as?

Both spam and harassment work. Tumblr is weird when you report someone being harassed for some reason.

(their new user is the remikzthetherian)

Hey guys, for those who have twitter and stuff y'all know @/macija04 on twitter, if not. They apparently are a groomer who deleted their account due people posting about it, they've been blocking everyone who said or commented about it. Me and a few others have a feeling their new account is twitter account is named @/tambourinetty. Go block and report this account if you also believe its them as well. they've protected their post, and blocked me and a lot more people who figured it out, help get rid of this groomer if you can, report and block them too

Report and Block this Person

@neji-walks-hinata-like-a-dog

This person has posted ablest, transphobic, and abusive content just to name a few of their unfortunate qualities. They do not have a place in this fandom.

The lest we can do is ensure that their hateful posts are not seen by anyone. And if you see them in your activity, they have nothing of worth to say, so it is better to just ignore them.

There is more evidence on their blog, but I do not recommend going on it, it is a cesspool of hatred.

[hazbmymhotel]

SCAMMER ALERT

@loonaartist and @melinak are going around the community harassing artists to "commission" them.

Please, if they approach you, as they have several others, go ahead and block

(not that anyone would willingly pay this price for that quality.) Just block them.

I know I seem harsh here, but it's been an ongoing problem already!

Do not interact! Just block!

[mommymilkersmac-n-cheese]

Bro the porn bots on here need to calm down I’m just trying to look at DnD

[blondefoxmedic]

Y'all Tumblr had the fucking gall to suggest a nazi blog to me. Like literal disgusting nazi. Swastika in the pfp

Everyone please report them.

[stormblessed95]

Heylo!

I just came across this post. Seems pretty horrible and if yu think it's valid to report to hybe, please do share it.

https://x.com/itsjmnphoria/status/1838616575953285546?t=CAWO1cGLrZ3PQjJRWy778g&s=19

I was correct. I do fucking hate this. Ugh. I've seen some report accounts now looking into saying it's illegal to sell fanfiction, which is true! But don't report them for that, because that's not technically what they are doing. They are selling repurposed and edited work that started as a fanfic. This happens all the time and is very very common. Just ask Harry Styles and the 7 movies that are based off books that were originally fanfic about him 🙃😂

Instead make sure you report to BH for spreading hate and copyright infringement. I'll just post @chikooritajjk post because they lovingly supplied every link and screenshot/evidence you could need/use already for you. I'll reblog it as well after this.

I hate this even more because I love indie authors and people publishing their own stuff and I wish I could support these things unconditionally. But they are still promoting their work using BTS and maknae line, their cover art looks like uncanny valley Tae and JK and people like this need to keep Jimins name out of their mouth

Sigh.

[thelovelyghoul]

I haven’t really been in my DMs but do not come to my blog and think I’m going to be just fine with you saying you’ve raped a minor. What the fuck? Fucking disgusting piece of shit. Hope you get what you deserve. If anyone follows me and thinks this okay, unfollow me.
