these ghosts are good at what they do

Tumblr users are asking 1,000 bloggers to sign an online petition that calls for a controversial publisher to be removed as an editor of an enhanced tag on the site.

The petition targets user “Ryking,” with the claim that the blogger has defended “rapists, calling women who disagree with him ‘feminazis,’ using gendered slurs against women, and repeatedly heaping praise upon men who have threatened to beat and rape women.”

The author of the petition says “Ryking” is not “a positive representation of the [Tumblr] community and should not be in a leadership/editorial position.”

The petition had close to 700 electronic signatures as of 6pm ET Thursday. “Ryking,” whose actual name is Alexander Ryking, is listed as the “Top Editor” on the site.

It took less than an hour to reach 1,000 signatures. The petition has been expanded for more.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. Tumblr is so goddamn stupid. 

Of course I don’t agree with this dude one bit, but the fact that someone started a petition because it grinds someone’s gears that this guy has the esteemed position of “tag editor on Tumblr” is completely idiotic. Focus your energy somewhere else, like calling out PETA for trying to advertise a dude fucking a woman so hard she goes to the hospital just because he went vegan.
