I think it was a Monty Python sketch that showed an author writing with a commentary like a sports commentator.
“And he’s started writing… no, he’s just written his name at the top of the page. He’s written ‘the’, a very strong opening, used in several of his books. Oh, no, he’s crossed it out again.”
“Ah, look, she’s opening the thesaurus again … perhaps she’s realized she used the same word six times in two paragraphs”
“Now that sentence is lovely, an excellent example of her style in – oh, no, she’s deleting it, never mind”
“This scene is clearly over, yet the brave author forges onward regardless…”
“She’s really picking up steam now, the words just flowing out from her – she’s stopped midsentence for some reason and is opening Buzzfeed”
“Choosing to google ‘which countries are nonextradition countries’ is a risk but it’s one some authors must take…”
American Children: Hey, can we be murdered a little less please?
Republicans: What the fuck? What about my guns? What about me, a person innocently playing with my death-machines as a hobby? I am the real victim here. Kids these days are so entitled…

Tumblr has made and official statement on twitter about what’s going on:
We’re committed to helping build a safe online environment for all users, and we have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to media featuring child sexual exploitation and abuse. As this is an industry-wide problem, we work collaboratively with our industry peers and partners like NCMEC to actively monitor content uploaded to the platform. Every image uploaded to Tumblr is scanned against an industry database of known child sexual abuse material, and images that are detected never reach the platform. A routine audit discovered content on our platform that had not yet been included in the industry database. We immediately removed this content. Content safeguards are a challenging aspect of operating scaled platforms. We’re continuously assessing further steps we can take to improve and there is no higher priority for our team.
Please please please, for the love of everything, stop spreading fear in our community. They are not purging your blogs for having NSFW content. If your blog gets deleted and you didn’t have any of the above mentioned content, or something that could be percived as such, then please contact Tumblr Support to regain your blog. They can be contacted via the form here.
Please reblog so people stop spreading false information and cause unnecesary fear.
