Protecting Yourself from Fetish Mining.

The rise in fetish mining anons has become horrifically rampant over the past year in RPC. Unfortunately, many folks have fallen victim to them due to the nature of fetish miners. The purpose of this PSA is to aid in spotting fetish mining anons within the Tumblr RPC.

Before I continue, please proceed with caution as this topic is adult themed but is a PSA for everyone. I will not go into detail about any fetishes. To learn more about general fetish mining, and what to look out for, check out this detailed PSA by BeckiiCruel, and this PSA about fetish mining within the art community by BluSilurus.

What is Fetish Mining?

Fetish mining, within the Tumblr RPC, is the soliciting of fetish content through Tumblr's inbox via anonymous asks. These asks are sent without the receiver knowing their true purpose and without their informed consent.

People are allowed to have fetishes, but fetish miners thrive off their victims being unassuming and unable to give informed consent. Fetish mining is a nonconsensual fetish and exploits their victims into giving them fetish content.

What to Look For.

Fetish miners within the Tumblr RPC use the anonymous inbox feature to conceal their identity, evade accountability for their actions, and come off as nonthreatening. They'll most likely come off as playful and exploit the fun in receiving anonymous asks within the RPC.

Fetish miners prefer targeting SFW blogs over NSFW ones. Why? Fetish miners want to claim their asks are not of fetishistic nature and to deny the receiver consent. They rely on plausible deniability in order to continue sending asks to their victims.

Please note that anything can be a fetish. Fetish mining asks will appear as innocent as possible to trick unassuming victims into giving them fetish content. They can also be super subtle or extremely obvious. Here are a few behaviors and examples of what to look for:

– Persistent or fixated on the same topic, action, request, or question over an over again. – Pressuring the receiver to answer the ask/s in a playful manner. – Pulling or stomping on a muse's tail, limb, hair, etc. – Putting your muse in a scenario where they're stuck in something. – Transforming your muse into an object, creature, or adding new features. – Cloning a muse repeatedly over several asks. – Feeding a muse over several asks. – Tickling a muse over several asks. – Fixating on muse's underwear, shoes, or other specific garments. – Wanting a scenario of a muse's scent or smell in detail. – Any kind of bathroom talk, including the discussion of diapers, the sender wetting themselves, discussion of any bodily fluid, and so forth. – Giving a muse a kind of potion, magic etc, that will force the muse into their desired effect ( changing their size, making them pregnant, expanding or shrinking certain body parts, laughing fits, the muse becomes lustful, or anything listed above, etc. ). – Super detailed scenarios featuring any of the listed topics that is without any plotting or context. – And much more as anything can be a fetish.

All instances above have been reported in the RPC throughout the years. Here is a Google document with current records given by victims. Please take a look to see real examples of fetish mining. You are free to submit your own instances if you have the victims consent. Instructions on how to do so are in the document.

How to Protect Yourself.

If an ask feels off to you, trust your gut. You do not need to answer every ask that comes into your inbox. If you're still uncertain check with trusted friends, or cross check the Google document listed above. Block any anon that makes you feel off, uneasy, or unsafe. Set your own boundaries, but be warned, fetish miners will not respect them if you leave them unblocked.

If you feel you must answer the ask, take a screenshot, block the anon, and then put the screenshot and your answer in a seperate post. Remember anons must be a member of the tumblr community. Unless they have another account, blocking them will keep you safe from further fetish mining attempts.

If you think someone is being fetish mined please reach out to them and inform them. Victims rarely realize they're nonconsensually playing into someone's fetish. Victims should not be shamed or told they should know better. Stay vigilant and stay safe. Look out for your fellow rper if you see anything that could be fetish mining.

"We must not listen to Biden, ... we must flatten all of Gaza!"

"An Israeli lawyer filmed himself destroying residential homes and razing trucks and properties for amusement, which he later posted on his Facebook account, boasting about the destruction he caused in Gaza."

"Meet Sergeant Sharon Ohana, an Israeli reservist who documented his daily crimes in Gaza on his Facebook account and Twitter, publicly posting pictures of torched Palestinian homes and writing genocidal statements with them." [@/QudsNen on X. April 26th, 2024.]

What is even happening anymore

This brave Palestinian journalist in Khan Younis shares his work with his dog which did not leave him during the hard times..

He says: “This dog starved and dehydrated when I starved and dehydrated due to the lack of food and water in #Gaza. So that, I feel its pain which is similar to my pain.”

I was able to watch some of Bisan's live earlier too! She spoke about how many in Gaza are seeing what is happening across university campuses and they're so happy/cheerful about everyone coming out to support Palestine and to protest Israeli war crimes and the ongoing mass genocide against Palestinian people. She emphasized for us, as a global community, to keep going -to keep protesting, to keep boycotting, and to keep making an impact -and then I saw that she posted this video, and I wanted to talk about it here too because yes -we will never stop talking about Palestine.

Yesterday, a 19-year-old girl named Lara al-Sayegh, along with her mother, both Palestinian Christians, fled Gaza with the intention of seeking refuge outside Gaza Strip. Their home was destroyed during the Israeli Genocide, and they were displaced, taking shelter in the church. After walking for hours in the scorching sun and passing through an Israeli checkpoint, they both suffered from heatstroke. The girl died, and the mother woke up today from unconsciousness. She was buried in al-Zawayda
