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 Goodle 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.

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!

unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!

tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.

bonus rules:

you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny

take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)

apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender

have fun and be yourself!

Joan really loves you guys, and she was super nervous when picking out her pageant outfit, so I asked her who she thought was cool, and she said you two. She thinks Piers is cool for being able to perform on stage, so she wanted to dress like him to try and get over her stage fright. Certainly seems to have worked.

Also, the cookies are an old recipe my favorite sister at the church taught me. The chocolate is dark chocolate, so just sweeten it if you need it.

Pelipper mail!

A small book (like, 4 pages) of Joan before, during, and after the pageant in her little galarian goth pokédress and accessories <looks like a slightly fancier version of what Piers might wear, but as a dress>

One batch of a dozen fresh and cooled lemon drop cookies with lemon curd in the middle and dusted in powdered sugar

One 4 x 8 bar of lavender chocolate and a 2 x 4 bar of spicy chocolate with recipe notes for the best method to make hot chocolate (a little heavy whipping cream or a pad of butter added to the milk)

@professor-sandalo-fakemonblog

Ooh I cant wait to look through Joan's pageant book-! PIERS LOOK, she's dressed just like you!

Heh, Well look at that. She might pull that off better than m'self. Very cute.

Oh right. Anyway, thank you for the baked goods, as usual. Heh, I'll have t'find a way t'pay ya back. You're too kind Sandalo.

“if somebody becomes panicked when you accuse them of lying theyre obviously not telling the truth” shut up ugly im a survivor who got punished for shit i never did all the time of fucking course im gonna panic when im blamed for something i didnt do

Oh wow!!! That’s so cool! I don’t really know any Jolteons, but Mamaw says they’re super zoomy and silly! She made me some of what you humans call hot chocolate and it was really tasty. She let me try the spicy flower one and it was alright, but I liked the one she made for me with the frothy stuff on top!

(Squinches Miss Marnie and Mx/Mr Piers) (well, tries to with smol eevee legs virtually)

Hi! We haven’t talked in a while and because I did extra good fishing, mamaw, the professor, let me get on the rotomputer! How you guys doing?

We're doin' fine, Joan. Thanks for askin'. Glad t'hear youre doin' well too.

Hi Joan! Oh Did ya hear Jojo evolved recently? She's a jolteon now!

Yeah, I have those moments, too. Oh, Joan got 1st place in her egg group and age group at her little pageant! I’ll send the pics with the goodies

This may or may not be outta character for me (dependin' on who ya ask) but-

I love my life and I love livin'.

I know my music doesn't always reflect that, but it's true.

Life is good. Live it.

Dude, um, you need some homemade treats? I have a fresh batch of lemon drop cookies that I just finished decorating and some chocolate covered espresso beans. And some cayenne lavender hot chocolate bars to make hot chocolate with

Reblog if you didn’t write My Immortal

We’re going to find the author by process of elimination.

”Don’t be so sensitive” well just because you meant it as a joke doesn’t mean the other party’s feelings aren’t valid

Important, reblog because important

making an ask game that's Not Like Other Ask Bait

So little. So smol. Much precious. Would like to give treats and pats

Oh... Hello, little Borealis. You are... soft. And very pleasantly cool. A gorgeous little girl you are...

//Useful information for hormones in general: if you have retained your gonads, doesn’t matter which ones, taking chasteroot/chaste berry supplements can help naturally boost progesterone levels. I suggest this because there’s an increased risk of cancer when taking hormones and I want all my trans and hormone imbalanced humans to have a chance to reduce that risk, with soybeans being good for estrogen.

Ginger and Ashwagandha supplements can help with boosting testosterone levels. Again, this only works if your still have your gonads and it’s a slower process, but it can be safer for those of us (as a hormone imbalanced person myself) as these supplements have other medicinal benefits and are still usually cheaper than the hormones would be. Obviously, you need to exercise caution, but I wanted to make sure this info is known for those who have less access to medical intervention and may have to transition more quietly and discreetly.

@alice-of-hightable @tanxiang-genshin-pokemon

She wanted to do a pageant because she saw some pictures of me doing a couple of them myself. She wants to be like her Nana(me) as much as she can.

I think she’ll probably evolve into a sylveon or maybe a ryujeon/ryugeon, based on her behavior. We have to pick out her dress tomorrow and she’s going for her first professional grooming. She is mostly scared of the stage

Hey, I have a question.

When yall get anxious, like about work, what do yall do vs want to do? It can be from needing to yell/wanting to bite all the way to just making noises/flapping your hands/pacing. I’m just wondering…might make a poll about this, actually!

@professor-sandalo-fakemonblog

Well, when I am anxious I do tend t'pace around a bit. Instead though, I'll put on some comfortin' music or write my thoughts and feelin's down.

When I'm feeling bad, I like to go out and train with m'pokemon. They're a good distraction! I like t'go runnin' too, especially 'round the wild area, and just sweat all my anxieties away.

Yeah, training sometimes helps. Joan apparently has gotten my same reaction

<lifts arm to show Joan clinging to and biting my arm with her tail puffed from anxiety>

she has a pageant coming up, for reference. She gets bitey when she’s anxious. I chew gum and things to help my chewing/biting response, though

*deep and dramatic inhale* BAYBEE!

This is Persephone, or Seffie. She crawled up onto the table we use for examining much heavier Pokemon, and decided this was where she was going to be examined today.

Her owner brought her all the way from Cherrygrove to see me. It was just a routine checkup, but it seems many are nervous around Dark-type Pokemon, and the myth of Houndour and Houndoom's flames 'causing burns that never stop hurting' are still prominently told in some areas of Johto.

She was one of the sweetest Pokemon I have met. Even her owner was surprised by how happy she was with me, as she normally is not willing to roll over and show her belly so quickly, but she very much wanted belly rubs from me.

Her family calls her 'Sniffy Seffie', as she loves to poke her nose into everything to investigate. She is still quite young, and sometimes breathes fire when excited, which is what led to the nervousness around her, but that is simply because of how young she is.

Overall, she was simply a delight to work with. Picture posted with permission from her owner.
