Please don’t ascribe this to any recent current events but like… when Dick Cheney finally dies, I’m gonna need everyone to be at their most tasteless. I’m gonna need full-on disrespect for the dead, like, the sort of stuff that would get you thrown out of the funeral. I’m talking mockery that would in any other circumstances would stop his cold robot heart, and also the artificial pump he uses to keep it working. I’m talking “if you have a chance to glue a clown wig to the body before it goes in the ground, make it happen” disrespect. None of this “he was a patriot and devoted public servant” crap. Start planning your Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead party NOW
i know the “ok tumblr children please here are the rules to twitter and please behave” posts are so patronizing and dumb but some of you NEED to know that your likes are public
Hey so @staff it’s really really shitty to flag as explicit a post about my gay uncle who died due to AIDS.
@staff this is unacceptable
Thank you. I didn’t even see a notification – I just came across it while I was scrolling through my blog to see if anything was flagged.
I’m honestly pretty upset about this. It’s also wild considering the history of the AIDS epidemic and how the US government censored PSAs about the epidemic to not mention gay men because it might be seen as endorsing “deviant” behavior. I’m not saying that’s why this was flagged, I’m just saying there’s relevant history here.
This is also an indication that random LGBTQ posts being blocked isn’t a fluke. This post doesn’t contain any word that could possibly be construed as sexual, like sex/sexual/sexuality. “Gay,” “orientation,” “HIV” or “AIDS” is probably flagged.
