WE NEED TO KEEP TALKING ABOUT ARTICLE 13

Here’s a quick rundown.

  • Article 13 is still in its final stages of voting. The problem is not that people don’t want to protect copyright, it’s that the LANGUAGE of the LAW is TOO VAGUE and OPEN TO ABUSE. IT COULD PASS THIS YEAR.
  • This law WILL impact EVERYBODY. Media platforms like YouTube will not bother to have different policies for the EU and for everybody else, they’ll just apply strict EU laws to EVERYONE.
  • MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS. You can yammer on all day about how people shouldn’t be building a career on an industry like YouTube or Instagram anyway, but the world changes, and there is actually not much different between YouTube content creators and traditional media like movies and TV. Youtubers, Instagram models, hell, even kids who use apps like TikTok are either directly or indirectly CREATING JOBS, and you CANNOT deny that. ALL OF THESE JOBS WILL BE PUT IN JEOPARDY IF ARTICLE 13 IS PUT INTO PLAY. THE ONLY CONTENT CREATORS THAT WILL BE ABLE TO THRIVE POST ARTICLE 13 IS BIG MEDIA COMPANIES.
  • THIS IS NOT FEARMONGERING. Is it scary, even anxiety-inducing that Article 13 could take away the only safe space that some people have—the Internet? YES. But we CANNOT close our eyes and scroll past all the article 13 posts because they make us anxious, or because they make us sad. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Reblog/make posts. Spread awareness. Tell your friends. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IF YOU LIVE IN THE EU, TALK TO YOUR REPS. IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO SAVE OUR INTERNET.

We’re currently going through a scare on Tumblr where your blog could get taken down at any time for any unclear reason, because they’re cracking down on child porn. That is good, but many people with perfectly appropriate blogs are having them taken down, too. The thing is, right now, you can still get your blog back without hassle if it is taken down by mistake. Imagine if your blog was taken down simply for making or reblogging a meme, gif of your favorite TV show, or simply producing art that isn’t 100% original, and Tumblr COULD NOT RESTORE IT BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS BY ARTICLE 13. That could be our reality. Do NOT turn a blind eye to this.

tl;dr Article 13 will 100% change the internet as we know it for the worse, and you aren’t safe even outside of the EU. SPREAD THE WORD. EU RESIDENTS CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES.

I know you guys love to shit on MatPat here, but he made a wonderful and interesting video going into more detail.

Spread it. Spread this post. Make your own and spread it. Do SOMETHING. Silence and inaction will only help kill the internet we all love so much.

anyway..... if you have to leave hate like this on anon then you’re a big fucking wimp.......

it isn’t anyone’s job to “write” for you, there will always be fics out there for you to read so don’t fucking harass writers. if you’re so fucking desperate for a fic, write ! one ! yourself !

i’m lucky enough to know angel, who is an incredible writer and person... she works so so hard on her writing and spends a lot of her time on it. she also has a life outside of tumblr, and stuff she needs to do..... and still, she makes sure to write everyday for her followers. i know she is working on full fics but it can be tough to think of plots, and situations sometimes...... she still posts writings..... writings that are 2k or 3k words !!! so calling for a “fic” seems pretty dumb when she is posting full length content already !1!1!!

writers put so so so much effort into their writing and sometimes (and i know this may seem super duper shocking) people have other shit to do other than write fanfic !!!1!!1!1! sometimes they have to take breaks, sometimes they have circumstances which mean they can’t write.... like school, or work, or mental health problems...... so harassing them really won’t make their situation any fucking easier... harassing someone like this is childish and if fanfiction is so serious that you bully someone anonymously, you need to seriously look at yourself........

please leave angel some love in her askbox and have a read through some of her writings, because they are amazing ! i love her, she’s incredible and doesn’t deserve asswipes like this on her blog <33

dong sicheng gave up EVERYTHING to join sm and become a member of nct,,, and for what? for sm ent to NEVER serve him more than two seconds of vocal time a song, rarely allow him more than five solo shots a mv, hardly ever give him any promotions or schedules, and now intentionally crop him out of 127 shit? slapping the visual title on him doesn’t excuse the fact that they continue to act as though he’s the most expendable member; placing him in wayv does NOT excuse the fact that they’re trying to push him out of their korean unit(s) without explanation. lmao some of u are so quick to dismiss ww stans as whiny pissbabies but yall know good and WELL that if sm started treating mark or taeyong the way they do sicheng there would be a RIOT in the streets
