Repost on the tumblr video player, so it will hopefully play in more countries.

<p>*SPOILER ALERT*</p>
<p>I can’t believe they’re making a live action Hetalia movie? Nyo!France looks a little too blonde, in my opinion, but this still looks really good! I can’t wait for 2019 to see what happens with the Baltics, though—my god, I’m still crying. Hetalia,, with a p l o t. Oh my fucking god.
If they destroy net-neutrality, teen suicides will skyrocket.
If this happens, people struggling with their mental health and/or abusive situations, especially teenagers, will have to pay for access to the many hotline/chat services for suicide/crisis prevention, mental health support, drug safety and intervention, and general information about life they don’t teach in school/sex ed. The many forums that exist for all types of disorders/illnesses, if they can afford to stay afloat, will likely come in a separate “Forum” bundle, too. And since we are talking primarily about teenagers here, they will more likely ask their parents to buy these things for them, which is a problem for very obvious reasons.
Have you ever talked someone down from suicide over the internet? Helped them when they were cutting? Gave them emotional support at a fragile time? Becuase without net neutrality, a lot of those people will be out of your reach. A lot of them rely on their internet friends, because they may live in a shitty ass place, full of ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and racism. This is their safe place, this is what keeps them alive.
How many people figured out that they are normal, valid, and ok, all because of the internet? I’m willing to bet a lot of you reading this. Perhaps, because of the internet, you found out what being transgender was, and you just knew. Maybe, you realized that being asexual didn’t mean you were broken. Possibly you’ve seen others go through your same struggle, with depression, anxiety, bipolar, phobias, etc, and suddenly you were not alone.
Now imagine the next generation of kids growing up without this.
Me: I don't get why people don't want to talk to me. I think I'm talkable Person: literally yesterday I asked you 'What's up' and you replied 'not your IQ' Me: oh, I see it now
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
