Right now, I’m most active on twitter, New Grounds, and FA only because there hasn’t been a tumblr replacement that seems to be just as good or where people are going to. I will consider a few places that Abby has joined up to to help give her support but I’m hesitant to start up something new.
I get that most of tumblr will remain the same as it’s always been, and I don’t even think my accounts will be completely taken down either. I’m not going to do it myself but if the website does it for me, I’ll consider it a favor. There will be a lot of my lore and writings lost if these accounts are taken down, but doesn’t matter because I KNOW I’m 100% blacklisted now.
No matter what I post or what tags I use, my posts will NEVER be seen by people around here. I’d have to start completely over and it’s not even worth it. I’ll continue to lurk and hope that cool artists I find have a twitter and they don’t mind me stalking.
I’m very glad I never got too involved around here, in that I never used the platform to host comics like I wanted to at the start of it. The platform has wonderful means of posting words with comics and you can manage multiple blogs from one account with ease. I’ll poke my head around every now and then because many people don’t have to worry about leaving like I do.
If you see me fav a post or RB something every now and then, it’s only out of mild curiosity to see who and what is still being posted around here. I do not have many mutuals who hadn’t already left tumblr for somewhere else. Artists that inspire me, don’t like me enough to want to follow back and we just tend to loose interest outside of being depressed artists.
I do apologize if I had been overly rude to people without me realizing that I had been so mean. I had terrible experiences from this website and it turned me into a scardy cat, more untrusting of people then I’d ever had been before. Tumblr killed many friendships that I had, and I know I’m still blocked from people who I never would’ve harmed or hurt if they weren’t afraid of being blacklisted themselves.
I’ll always be problematic, but I want to just draw what I draw, and share it with people. Tumblr puritan culture can rot in hell, you didn’t help me and it was 8 years of my life ruined. Thanks for very little, you shithole of a website full of horrible HORRIBLE 12 year olds…and 25 year olds who act like they’re 8 year olds in highschool.
Everyone else though, I know there are plenty of cool people, and somehow moving over to twitter the mood has been better. Between discord accounts and just the porn artists looking for more refuges, I might’ve gotten a means to recover what tumblr took from me. I hope I can still make it work.
Again sorry for the long rant and being a meanie. Thanks for being there and listening. If you wanted a less rambling message, I can answer questions if you have any but I don’t even think tumblr will allow me to do that. Take care!
If I gotta put my Game Grumps gripe here it’s that I can tell that Arin has a bias to certain things and he hates it when Dan loves things he hates. I can be ok with him trying to give us a more critical look at Ocarina of Time
And his Mario 64 playthrough is only hilarious because of how TERRIBLE he is at it…And ALL he had to do was stop playing the game at 3am and take a day to rest. He was suddenly better at the game.
Yet he can’t get away with that madness in Majora’s Mask and it pretty much was a terrible play through because he just could not focus on what he needed to do. Look up a guide if your attention span will never actually read what is being written on the screen.
I mean even tonight, they did a JackBox thing where people couldn’t see what was going on because they hosted the game without a live stream so people can get CONTEXT to what was being done. They played through a whole session with people @ing him to attempt a live stream. He cannot think things through and his impulsive actions, can be funny and amusing, end up causing the riff between the fans and casuals.
But what I want to finish up on, because people are mad that he was responsible for making a WHOLE group of people saying Sonic games and OOT are shit because HE said it? If there was ever something he’s done that is a problem, is not actually trying to play Genesis games on the show. Dan would be into Ecco the Dolphin, Toe Jam and Earl, ect ect. Dan wants to play certain games an Arin doesn’t… And it’s really not fair that he’s biased with the Snes for a dude who says he loves the dreamcast…. Play the games on the dreamcast already!
Or is ALL this hate he’s getting ALL because he forgot to do Ghoul Grumps? or is just a community of people trying to take down a Youtube Channel?
Arin you are the dumbest motherfucker. It’s like you just completely willfully ignore every actual reason people are wary of this shit.
Arin, you think Crush 40’s lead singer sounds like Chad Kroeger and mumbles out nonsense in every song, questioned how Super Mario 64 was ever a success, took longer to beat Thousand-Year Door than anyone else ever, seriously believe Alucard is Dracula, defended Anita Sarkeesian’s stupid-ass Tropes vs Women videos, encouraged Blizzard to make every single character in Overwatch gay, admitted to just fucking around to make Sonic games look worse than they are and get a rise out of the series’ fans, are under the impression that Ryu and Ken hate each other, have said no video game needs an actual plot without a hint of joking, and have unironically insisted that DmC improved Dante.
I think your opinion is among the most invalid of all time.
Arin, you ignorant slut.
His opinion about this was so dumb that my tweet reminding him that people gush about BeBop at the drop of a hat, got some likes in return to his braindeadness.
I think ignorant slut is the best answer to this because I honestly don’t think all the fuck ups he has is because it’s entirely on purpose. His ADD brain couldn’t ever really focus long enough to think into something deeper then the surface level and 1st impressions. He can’t make another sequelistis because trying to keep his brain from going off subject is hard…
So one of the ads in the Tumblr app has nudity but I can’t flag it?????

I’m honestly annoyed that people still are happy at artists who draw porn are getting pushed out. I get that you might find fanart of a young person insanely offensive, but if there are actual C-P blogs here of REAL kids, then complain about that issue.
If a youth wants to draw shipping art of the new Shi-ra cartoon then let them. Let them feel ok in drawing what they wish they and in their own lives, a cute relationship between young love…
I’ve always hated in-cest stuff as well but still, if you draw it… it’s DRAWN… it’s not IRL stuff. You can make up a million excuses as to why the drawn stuff is just as problematic, but art is art. You don’t have to support things people draw, but it’s their right to do so.
Today is a melancholy day for Antique Erotic, as I find it’s time to bid a fond farewell to my collection here. My dear readers, I know I haven’t been actively posting of late - indeed it’s been so very long that some of you may’ve forgotten you even followed in the first place - but life rather shook me off my feet a while and I had to set my blog aside, and then of course the longer I left it at rest, the harder it was to summon up the energy to begin again. I always thought that I’d come back to it one day. It was here, waiting safe, and appreciated by all those who still stumbled across it. I had more photographs to post, and no less love for my subject. But today’s announcement that Tumblr will no longer allow adult content effectively means the end for this blog. Some of the photographs are already gone from display, my archive looks depleted, the majority are sure to follow as we approach the 17th of December deadline for the new no-nudity policy.
It barely needs saying that It’s with a very heavy heart I make this announcement. It’s been a joy sharing these beautiful photographs with you over the years, and I’m truly grateful for all your interest, the kind words from those who’ve reached out, the help in identifying models and translating annotations. In the last few days, we very nearly reached an astonishing 30.000 followers, as this little project grew and grew into something bigger than I ever could’ve imagined possible.
I have carefully saved every one of the 1,536 photographs posted here, in order, along with their captions. And maybe it’s not quite the end for Antique Erotic - perhaps one day I’ll be back, in some other format, some other site, and you’ll find me again. It’s been a pleasure. Thank you all.
The hypocrisy of Tumblr’s take down is that this blog was built to embrace the daring souls who openly showed off their bodies and their beauty. There for Tumblr’s actions are repeating the events of history to erase their bravery because of this feigned idea of decency being more important then freedom of expression.
