For those unaware because staff isn’t saying it

Tumblr was deemed too full of inappropriate content to be allowed to be downloaded from the app store.

It has this “inappropriate” problem because of rampant porn ad bot accounts. The old solutions were bots to detect image sets with nsfw content, the automatically enabled safe mode, tag filtering for mobile, and wide takedowns of nsfw bots based on words used (that’s why their messages are full of numbers and symbols, to evade this)

Tumblr released their own bot supposedly capable of wiping the ad bots, but it’s taking down many popular blogs, possibly due to sheer amounts of posting or sheer amounts of ad bots in their notes. This bot was likely rushed to be put out.

You are more likely to be accidentally flagged if you post external links, as well. If your acct is taken down you CAN get it back, but it’s a pain. E-mail tumblr support for help with this. It takes down side blogs with the main ones.

I’ll be halting posts for about a week or until this problem is fixed.

I just realized “I’ve survived the Mike Costa Transformers comic, I can survive whatever 2018 Marvel Venom dish out. It won’t be worse then that.” Must be a very confusing statement to comic Venom fans lol

LMFAO earlier today I was JUST thinking about what a bizarro plot twist this is, as a person in both of these fandoms?

2009: Mike Costa writes some of the actual worst comics in human history, so bad that their notoriety spread beyond the Transformers fandom. Mike Costa claims that the Transformers aren’t real people with real emotions, and can’t have relationships because there aren’t any girls.

2012: James Roberts swoops in with More Than Meets The Eye, decides that all the Transformers are actually gay and live in a homonormative society, and gives us a buffet of canon queer relationships.

(We cross over to a parallel universe or alternate timeline, probably)

2016: Mike Costa writes Venom and gives us a tender, domestic, and fully queer story about a man and alien being struggling to overcome their checkered histories to be better for themselves and each other. Eddie and Venom both make a real effort to improve the communication and trust in their relationship, grow together as people, and have a child that Venom wants to raise in Eddie’s image.

2018: Don Cates writes Venom and begins the process of aggressively no-homo’ing Costa’s run by looping us back to the 2000s and making sure to loudly proclaim how terrible Eddie and Venom are and always have been for each other, how they don’t even like each other actually, and how their whole relationship is in fact nothing more than a toxic metaphor for Angst and Darkness!!11!1

HAHAHHAHA THANK YOU FOR WRITING THE HISTORY OUT

Mike “Transformers can’t love because they have no females” Costa

?

?? Alien abduction?? Some sort of Enlightment?? Mirror Verse Crossover??

?

Mike “Symbiote and Eddie Brock are in love this is a love story” Costa

This is all I’ve been thinking since venom movie happened… “wait, THAT costa? Transformers can’t love because they have no girls Costa? I thought we weren’t talking to him.”

He learned a lesson, I guess o:

So my takeaway of this is that Mike Costa’s heart grew three sizes and somebody needs to yank the Venom comics out of Don Cates’ hands and give it to James Roberts.

James Roberts’ Venom would be a SIGHT TO SEE. Venom’s planet would gain this whole complex sociopolitical backstory, his romance with Eddie would be a 70-issue slow burn, there would be a mix of body horror and tentacled fan service …

if you ever try to befriend me and you expect to be in frequent contact with me i am so sorry. i do that with maybe two people and even then i often go days or weeks without saying anything before talking daily for a while. 

the point is if we dont talk that doesnt mean i dont like u and think about u a lot im just terrible at maintaining close relationships
