Ads for Tumblr

This is what I woke up to this morning for one of my posts.

I posted a sugar skull makeup tutorial (go to tumblr.com/tagged/sugar-skull to see tons of them) and saw this on my dash:

this is not a game you fucks

Tags: #racism #cultural appropriation #sugar skull

Then I saw this note in my inbox:
crashbangtrollop asked you:

you just posted a really racist tutorial, you need to take it down
I looked at sites around the web on sugar skulls, Halloween, etc… and decided it really wasn’t appropriate and immediately took it down, but would it hurt certain people on Tumblr to be a little less rude? I find lots of material I find offensive on Tumblr, but it’s not my site and I’d have to have an entirely new blog to reblog and comment on everything I did find offensive.
