Article 13 is bad.
Article 13 will destroy millions of people’s jobs. Article 13 is a threat to artists and online creators.
- Article 13 is a threat to memes.
- Article 13 is a threat to YouTube.
- Article 13 is a threat to musicians.
- Article 13 is a threat to the Internet.
Article 13 will hurt North America and Europe alike.
FUCKING TALK ABOUT THIS SHIT AND STAND TO MAKE A CHANGE THIS SHIT IS SERIOUS. EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT BE A RESIDENT OF EUROPE, THIS SHIT WILL AFFECT YOU. IT WILL COME BACK AROUND.
If you care at all about freedom of speech, freedom of internet, job pools, artists, creators, even fucking memes
TAKE A STAND.
This shit is serious. Once the freedom of the internet is gone, it cannot be taken back. People bitch and moan about no one doing anything while still doing nothing themselves. Now is the time to change. Stand up and call upon your local government. Find resources to help those who will be directly affected and protect them from this disturbing article’s intended purpose.
Do not allow this bullshit “step towards a more helpful copyright law” to pass.

Imagine you’re a pro hero who hates the media, you hate it so much and you avoid it whenever you can. Because of this no one knows who you are, and you like it that way, cause if people haven’t heard of you, villains will be caught by surprise when fighting you. You try very hard to make sure your image and information on you doesn’t get out.
But there’s this one blog.
This one blog from some hero fanatic, that has profiles on ALL the heroes, including you. How?? You avoid attention like the plague. They must have scraped together every moment you were fleetingly caught on camera, every one-word interview you got cornered into. The ravings of villains as they were taken away. This, one, GODDAMN blog has pulled it all together to put it on the internet and jabbered all about your quirk and your capture techniques and fighting style.
And you hate it. You stalk the profile and you can tell it’s obviously just some rabid hero fan who doesn’t mean any harm, the stuff on All Might is about 20x longer than anything they have on you. But it still pisses you off that this person could collect so much information on you and fling it up for everyone to see. And you almost want to track this person down to make them cut it out but you know it’s not worth it.
Then, cut to the beginning of the school year, and you’ve got your new students. You’re ready to put them in their place, lay down the rules, so you use your quirk on this one shy kid you know isn’t going to last the year.
And this kid takes one look at the goggles around your neck and is like “Those goggles, you’re Eraserhead!!”
And you realize.
THIS
GODDAMN
KID-

EVERYONE PLEASE LISTEN. DO NOT IGNORE THIS.
Article 13 is going into it’s final stages of voting.
If this gets through, it will allow many, many companies to abuse and misuse this article to take down as many memes, fan works, and even other independent creators on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and other websites INCLUDING Tumblr.
THE FAIR USE LAW AND SAFEHARBOR LAW WILL NO LONGER APPLY IN THE U.S OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
IT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES.
WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY WHAT WE BUILT FOR THE INTERNET SO FAR.
So here is what you need to do to drag this article down.
1. Spread the word
I can’t stress this enough. The more attention this gets the more people we can get to take this down.
2. Make your own content
Make your own content on the matter and make sure it is clear to others that Article 13 is bad for every internet user involved.
3. If you live anywhere in Europe, contact your MEPs
Ask them if they approve of the article and why. If they do approve of it, try to convince them in a clear, reasonable, and most sensible way possible that this law is BAD.
The article itself is way to vague about what it’s conveying to its people.
Saying that as long as the use of said internet memes or content is good as long as it’s in “good faith.”
We cannot let some shoddy government tell us what we can and cannot post.
FREE SPEECH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. NOT A PRIVILEGE.
Here’s a video on Article 13 that Film Theory made on the matter. It will explain things better than I can.
THE VIDEO LINKED IS FROM YESTERDAY (24/11 2018) THIS IS ALL FRESH PLEASE SPREAD!
Samson was “a museum installation consisting of a 100-ton jack connected to a gear box and a turnstile. The 100-ton jack pushes two large timbers against the bearing walls of the museum. Each visitor to the museum must pass through the turnstile in order to see the exhibition. Each input on the turnstile ever so slightly expands the jack, and ultimately if enough people visit the exhibition, Samson could theoretically destroy the building.”
Artists are absolutely wild
That’s absolutely hilarious ngl
Bet the museum employees are secretly winding it back each night, like Penelope unraveling her day’s weaving
Alright so since some people seem to need help with these things, I’m gonna do a PSA on common fanfic turns of phrase and what they’re actually driving at:
‘Humming’, as in, when a character ‘hums in agreement’ or ‘hums happily’, isn’t them suddenly breaking out a tune. It’s referring to an inarticulate sound, usually with the lips closed. ‘Mmhmm’ for example is a hum. ‘Hummed a question’ is less common, but generally means something along the lines of ‘hmm?’
If someone ‘moans in appreciation’ of something, like food or a good massage, that is usually indicating a lower ‘mmm’ noise than ‘humming’, with the tone being defined by the context of the situation. At some point actually writing out ‘yum’ or ‘oooh’ or similar became unpopular in fic, so describing the noise took prominence. The ‘mmm’ sound is fairly indistinct, and is technically a moan. It’s not actually an inherently sexual term, even though it’s used overwhelmingly in sexual contexts. (In older stories characters would even moan in pain, though that’s less common now).
Toeing off your shoes refers to taking off your shoes without bending down and using your hands in any way. You’re using your toes instead. It’s actually more common with slippers (which are designed for this) but can apply to any footwear that doesn’t need untying or unbuckling or something in order to come loose. Related to ‘kicking off your shoes’ but less dramatic in terms of the implied action involved.
Carding your fingers through something (i.e. hair, feathers) comes from a process (carding) for disentangling cloth or wool fibers (usually a special type of card-shaped tool was used for this, hence the term). It’s got nothing to do with playing cards or shuffling, and here’s the wikipedia article on the process, just for the skeptics. It basically means ‘gently disentangle’ in the fanfic context.
Thus concludes the PSA.
I always love it when people, who apparently aren’t familiar with frankly kind of common vocabulary words and turns of phrase, make fun of writers for completely straightforward and ordinary word choices.
And if you mock them not because you think the phrases are wrong/silly but just because you see them used too often in fandom… hey, no one’s stopping you from reading stuff other than fan fiction. Knock yourself out.
