Yeah but not as baffling as the police officer being listed as being unpriviledge. Aren't they considered to be the oppressors?

I remember seeing this privilege chart around as early as 2011. That was long before the events that caused white Tumblr kids to rile up against the police. If this chart was made now, I'm sure being in law enforcement would earn at least +5 points because OPPRESSION.

On my part, what gets me about this chart is how racist it is. +25 for being Jewish? Bitch, where? And then giving tiers to European countries from top tier to shit tier. It's cute how Tumblrites try so hard to be progressive and end up being the exact opposite.

I'm quite certain this one was intended to be tongue-in-cheek. (Especially note the /v/ namedrop - the common Tumblrite thinks just as much of chan culture as the mainstream media.) However, similar charts have gotten notes in the hundreds of thousands, so... it's not inconceivable that at some point the irony was lost on certain groups of people.

On topic: Inkstand actually had three programmers on board and it still petered out in a matter of months. This isn't happening.

So essential features will include:

-Genderbread person to decorate
-Spoons display
-List of head mates/alters
-Mandatory to read "before you follow pages"
-Option to prevent certain people from reblogging/following (EX "Neurotypicals can't reblog this")

And of course the best one, oppression ratings! You know those charts where you get to see how privileged you are?View attachment 58076
Just make it infinitely longer, with all the made up genders/kins/sexualities and whoever is the most oppressed is always right!

I cannot wait for the trolls who make accounts for the most privileged people possible and flag any negative comments they receive, if Hell freezes over and this website actually launchs that is.

I honestly could've chosen a better chart, I just wanted an example of a privilege chart so I grabbed the first one I saw.

Also if this website were ever to be released, I bet it would look horrible, knowing Tumblrites seem to constantly make the most garish sites imaginable. Probably the only good looking parts would be the elements made by the professional web designers who make the home page and other elements.

"Professional"
"Web designers"

Yeah, I want to see what sort of interactivity this thing has. I bet it will just be set up to allow Tumblrina bloggers to scream into the void.

Apparently, once you edit your posts, all re-blogs will reflect that change.

So essentially, you could post some run-of-the-mill SJW material to your blog, wait for it to get re-blogged enough, then edit your post to something like this:

Also, Pillowfort is unsurprisingly pro-censorship.

This is where the true trolling potential lies. Bait and switch. You could very easily do it with an unassuming looking hipster artsy sort of blog that's just barely "problematic" enough to get angry responses, and then change the context to make those callouts look super racist/sexist.

Tumblr has a problem with antisemitism being swept under the rug and Jews being considered white.

This is not new and it's really common to see bloggers turn genocide into a pissing contest over how there were ethnic cleansings worse than the Holocaust but those dang, dirty Jews are taking all the attention away from real POC who were slaughtered in the 19th century or whatever.

Pillowfort is apparently going to have deleting a post result in all the re-blogs being deleted as well.

They don't seem to get that there's no "technical solution" for the fact that people are dicks.

This is why utopian schemes never work.

This dumb suggestion about deleting reblogs is just as open to abuse as what it's replacing, which is already obvious before it's even started.
 
It's like these people think that others won't just use archive.is or its clones to get all the evidence they want anyway.
