DNI

It's been a good few years since I updated this and I'd like to see how to pin posts- so here goes!

Please do not follow me:

~If you are under 16 years old.

~If you are active in Tumblr discourse, specifically centered around gender and sexuality or mental illness.

~If you make or often reblog Cult-AUs, make cult OCs, or generally do no tlisten to cult escapees (to clarify, OCCULT stuff does not trigger me, any magic or giant monsters are fine lol).

~If you reblog content in favor of or glorifying weight loss/dieting.

~If you identify as a 'truscum' or 'trumed'/transmedicalist (believe that all trans people should have a certain degree of dysphoria and should want to pursue gender affirmation surgeries).

~You refer to people as 'sysmed' (or system medicalist) for believing trauma is the only way to develop DID/OSDD.

~If you identify as a 'TERF'/Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist or "radfem'/radical feminist (believe that men are abusive, hostile or dangerous by nature, and in Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminism, specifically targeting and disrespecting trans women).

~If you partake in cringe culture or identity policing (this includes shaming people for using uncommon pronouns such as neo-pronouns or ones you don't think fit their gender identity, policing if someone can identify as bi or pan, or making fun of someone's gender or sexuality).

~If you consider yourself 'Aphobic', 'Panphobic', etc.

~If you are Anti-LGBT+ or Anti-'MOGAI'/Marginalized Orientations, Gender and Intersex (MOGAI is a label used to replace LGBT+ in some communities, mostly online).

~If you do not support self-diagnosis or will mock those who have self-diagnosed disorders or illnesses, physical or mental.

~If you mock mentally ill people or people showing traits of mental illness (such as talking out loud to one's self, uncontrolled muscle movement, alcoholism or drug abuse, any ‘multiple personalities’ jokes).

~If you make content for or support ships that are inc*stuous or ped*philic.

~If you align yourself with the 'alt-right' or trump supporters.

~If your name Nova/Dakota- (or you have gone by those names in the past). Nova or Dakota on their own is fine

~If you are kin with or blog a lot about the character Hal Strider from Homestuck.

~If you support PETA or Autism Speaks.

~If you do not support Indigenous peoples and communities.

To call WT's actions "antics" would be reducing the severity of what they're doing to creators. This is unacceptable behavior and it should be all the more reason for creators to start exploring other career paths outside of WT. For years they've been meticulously crafting an environment where people believe that WT is the only path to success, where WT controls the degree of success creators can achieve, from the manipulation of the promotional system to the lack of tagging and proper search functions on the app. Now that they've boiled the frog to this point, they're cashing out by flooding the platform with cheap imports, implementing AI tools, and of course, trying to use their contracts as a way to trap creators and keep them from owning their own IP's and maximizing on their own success.

I said it before and I'll say it again - Webtoons is planning to go public with their IPO this summer, so it would be a real shame if creators spoke up about the underhanded tactics used by WT to keep them from finding success in their own works. At the very least, it should serve as a reminder to all of us that companies like these can't amass billions without exploiting people along the way.

We can't even use "they're creating jobs for comic creators" as a reason to want to see WT succeed in spite of their flaws anymore because they're literally ruining people's careers, cutting them off before they've even started. That's not the platform being "flawed", that's the platform and the system it's built on being broken, full stop.
