8 insane Tumblr moments that went down in history Tumblr was a hotbed of weirdos and insanity. Let's look at the stuff that made even its own userbase go WTF.
It was always hard to define exactly what Tumblr was. You could write blogs on there, but it wasn’t really good for blogging. You could link up with other people like a social network, but it wasn’t really that either. It was — and is, I guess, although the latest news about the platform banning adult content seems like a nail in the coffin — something truly unique. Tumblr was founded by David Karp in 2007 as a method for people to post “tumblelogs” — essentially short-form blogs — featuring links, short paragraphs and a stream of consciousness style. It rapidly grew a wild and fractious user base, split into…

People going to work are punching the Extinction Rebellion clowns trying to stop them The public is giving the group the justice they demand and it's a viral video gift that keeps giving.
If you’re on social media or perhaps just an ordinary person trying to go to work in or near a major western city, you already know Greta Thunberg’s obnoxiousness doesn’t end at her over the top theater performances. She has her very own children of the corn cult – Extinction Rebellion – and they just keep going viral for all the wrong reasons. The group is inspired by the belief that the world is ending in as few as 11 years, and so to save it, it must stand around in the middle of the road and block traffic until global LGBTQIAP communism rises from the sheer nuisance. As little…

Kickstarter says MS-13 gang is a “marginalized group,” bans comic book project depicting them as villains "As a Public Benefit Corporation committed to fighting inequality and creating a more equitable world, Kickstarter does not allow discrimination, subjugation, or intolerance toward other groups," says the email about comic portraying MS-13 as criminals.
A woke artist would be hard pressed to portray villains as non-white – even when depicting real life events – but now big tech has decided that portraying the criminal gang MS-13 as Hispanic (which they almost exclusively are) is not only bad form: it’s bannable hate speech. Mike S. Miller has received a message from Kickstarter notifying him that his crowd-funded comic book, Lonestar, is hate speech, and that it will not be allowed on their crowdfunding platform. “As a public benefit Corporation committed to fighting inequality and creating a more equitable world, Kickstarter does not allow discrimination, subjugation, or intolerance toward other groups,” the company wrote. But there’s…

Feminist intellectuals: text appearing next to text that disagrees with it is a form of corrective rape, holocaust Nonconsentual coplatforming.
“The road to evil is paved with good intentions.” When the London-based Institute for Art and Ideas solicited six feminist philosophers for their views on the question, “How can philosophy change the way we understand the transgender experience and identity?” little did they know they were about to commit an act of nonconsentual coplatforming, a newly discovered and particularly violent form of corrective rape so brutal that feminist intellectuals compare it to the holocaust. These are the intellectual ideas currently belching out of feminism in a dykefight that so far has seen an article disappeared from the internet and three feminists derided as genocidal neo-nazi rapists. Holly Lawford-Smith, one of…

‘Clean up your room, clean up your life’ guru Jordan Peterson in rehab for clonazepam addiction Video statement by daughter Mikhaila Peterson.
According to a Thursday video statement by daughter Mikhaila, Jordan Peterson has been checked into rehab for a clonazepam addiction. Mikhaila says Jordan was prescribed the benzodiazepine to help him cope with his wife’s severe health issues. Jordan “looks like a lost puppy” while they are giving him less potent drugs to wean him off, Mikhaila explains, before warning people to stay away from clonazepam. His wife’s health outlook is looking better after flying to America to receive first world health care (the family is from Canada), and Mikhaila thinks they “should be all recovered by Christmas I hope.” “We figured we should let people know before some tabloid finds…

Another day, another male feminist ally outed for sexual misconduct.

Read Kiwi Farms’ epic response to NZ police thug demanding identity of everyone talking about Christchurch attack "You're a small, irrelevant island nation barely more recognizable than any other nameless pacific sovereignty."
The administrator of Kiwi Farms today revealed in a forum thread that New Zealand police has contacted him and demanded identifying information on all forum posters who have discussed friday’s New Zealand terror attack. The information sought includes email and IP addresses, and breaking news of a 22-year-old New Zealander being arrested for sharing the livestream from the attack gives you a pretty good idea of the sort of things they’re planning to do with it.

Five fast facts you need to know about the Warski/Ralph rift in Internet Bloodsports A state of the disunion.
If you follow YouTube drama at all, you might be aware of Internet Bloodsports. And you’re probably familiar with the main players: Ethan Ralph of Killstream, the now-banned YouTube channel that was outed by the Wall Street Journal for promoting white nationalism; and Andy Warski, the formerly anti-social justice channel-turned talk-show channel for the alt-right. Following Ralph’s deplatforming on YouTube, both Ralph and Warski took to Stream.me, a streaming platform and competitor to YouTube that has since been shut down after threats were made against the owners’ children. But before they were deplatformed, Ralph and Warski managed to earn a little over $4,000 from their paypigs to fund a trip…
