These are pics of myself, reblogged by a porn blog, with my caption removed, a sexually illicit caption added, and a questionable short link that I do not dare to follow.
The use of my image as above is not something I have consented to. Nor is it something I will ever consent to.
I am not a camgirl. I do not want to fool around with anyone. And I do not wish to communicate with anyone in any sexual way.
There is one other instance to date of a porn blog reblogging my photos in this way, however, I could not find the permalink on their blog. The below screenshot was provided by my friend who first noticed these porn blogs sharing my photos.
Whilst searching through the porn blogs for my own images, I also found images of abuse victims and self-harmers to name but a few groups of people who I am sure did not upload their photos to Tumblr for pornographic purposes. I also, because these blogs tend to be ran by bots, happened across some random photo sets that were neither here nor there. But one that most sticks out, is an image set of a young Asian girl that my mom advised me not to post evidence of.
There is no option to report these posts or these blogs, however, blogs like this can prove to be very harmful. I can only imagine what the girl above or the victims and survivors would think if they realised how their images were being used. And what happens in the future if my baby niece or my boss or any significant other happens across these reblogs and mistakes them as real?
This is something that makes me incredibly uncomfortable and yet it is also something that will likely never be resolved. Nevertheless, I felt a need to make this post. Please share it. Please tell the Tumblr Staff that it’s about time they finally took action. Please….
I just noticed a few reblogging my art with links like that!
This is why porn bots are block on site. If you do not want this to happen to you Block the bot immidiately. This prevents them from viewing your blog. Therefore: -they cant pull pictures -they cant delete captions -they cannot post you without your consent.
IF A PORN BOT FOLLOWS YOU BLOCK IT ASAP.
this is so disgusting and upsetting.
I had this happen to two of my cosplay photos earlier..
Here’s what I did.
Hover over the username until you get the little pop up.
(Scratched out porn gifs, which is the red)
Go to report and click that.
Click “This violates Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”. Tumblr will also automatically block them when you select this.
Hit continue.
If they have deleted your captions, like they did on my cosplay photos or like OP, click “Misuse of your identity or work”.
Then go to the bottom and there is:
“Confusion or impersonation”.
It will ask you if it’s you, your brand/organization/company, or someone else. If it’s your photos, click you.
Then you get this screen.
My email is blocked out in red here.
What I did was past the url of the posts they reblogged from me and put it in the explain box, but it could also be put in the url space, and basically explained to Tumblr what they did.
I haven’t heard from them yet about the posts, but this is at least a method to report it.
They ask you to file a document, I forgot which one, to have the images removed. I submitted one months ago to have my selfies removed from the blog of a stalker and tumblr still hasn’t taken them down but inform me it’s ‘processing’. It’s bullshit, but you should still file the claim and report the bots.
