green day releasing “back in the usa” and blatantly criticizing donald trump through the music video really makes me think of how this has all happened before with american idiot/george w bush and how this new song (even the title itself) LITERALLY sounds like green day cracking their knuckles and going like “bitch have you guys learned nothing since the last time we did this”
If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.
On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.
Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.
But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.
What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.
Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:
@sweetss80@me-fish good grief. Look, are we sure this is entirely true? How can anyone possibly protest to fanart? Gifsets, just possibly, under copyright, images, maybe, but how could they police edits? If you have seen my manips you would agree that no bot could identify the sources. I would want to make sure of the sources on this before accepting they could be so unreasonable about copyright or so dim as to think they could police it all.
I heard some right-wing website was spreading fake or exaggerated stories about something like this…lets check the sources first before assuming this is true.

I guess she stole Barry’s pants. Coincidentally i drew 75 percent of this while sloshed.
[image description: a drawing of Taako and Lup, light-skinned twin elves with blonde hair and matching gap-toothed smiles. They’re sitting on the floor, facing each other. Taako is wearing a sheer pink vest, open to expose his bare chest, and dark shorts with constellation patterns on them. He’s resting an elbow on a box of wine and holding a fantasy grey goose bottle in one hand, raising a golden chalice into the air with the other. Lup is leaning back against a keg, holding a can up in the air. She’s wearing a black crop top that says “memes” with a shrimp on it and cut-off denim shorts. Little circles and x’s are drawn around their heads to denote that they’re drunk.]
