Well, I agree with you in principle of course. I don’t pay attention to reviews before I choose what movie to see in a theatre. I’ve even come to know which reviewers are likely to hate the movies I will love because we have such opposite tastes. Nothing wrong with that. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But if you’re referring to the uproar over this weeks’ episode of Outlander? Of the negative comments that I’ve read I don’t see too many opinions that remind me of a movie review. If it were just that it would be like reading negative reactions to a movie version of Wuthering Heights where some viewers preferred another actors’ Heathcliff over this one. What they’ve done here is changed the characters we’ve known for more than twenty years and had them behave in ways they just would not, or changed their motivation from the books for what happens going forward. It’s not Bronte’s Wuthering Heights anymore and it’s not an adaptation if you change Heathcliff and Catherine’s relationship. It might turn out okay, especially for non book readers, but if I came expecting Wuthering Heights and got Flowers In The Attic I have a right to be upset. The clincher though, and what irritated me more is how they got defensive about the changes and went about defending their choices and bypassing the criticism . There’s nothing wrong with saying “Thankyou for presenting your opinion in a civil manner (which most were). I see your point.” Instead we got a paragraph each on how Leerie was a good mother and everyone should see this other side of her too, what might Frank have done with the information if he’d seen the obituary when Bree was a teenager, and hey!……what if Bree had been guilt ridden all these years because she didn’t get in the car with Frank that night, all the while eliminating 99% of her Lallybrach interactions so sending her off to meet Jamie with mostly a poisoned impression. And…in case we still think we’re entitled to an opinion…an article thrown together by none other than Lynette ‘splaining why we got Leerie instead of Laura. Lynette’s lack of editing, or maybe just bad grammar, was the icing on the cake. My inner grammar nazi is still squirming.
I love your inner grammar Nazi!
And in this case from a television perspective, we are paying extra just to watch it. When a Vanity Fair writer comes away with the impression that Frank was more noble and Jamie treated Laoghaire poorly, then the episode missed the mark, Badly. And their reaction to fans comments about that tells me they know it too.
@nobodysuspectsthebutterfly and I have been experimenting with the ban and this is what we know so far:
1) If you are the OP of an incorrectly flagged post, DON’T DELETE IT! Only the OP can request an appeal.
2) If you weren’t able to request a content appeal on your posts before the ban, you (as the OP) should be able to request an appeal now.
3) The appeal process is going VERY FAST now and it is VERY LENIENT on what is allowed. (I mean, this art on my sideblog was immediately restored, and uhhhh I don’t recommend clicking on that if you’re at work.) I’ve requested appeals on about 5 of my posts so far, and I got the approval email for all of them in about two minutes.
4) If you have flagged posts on your blog, some of them are currently “stuck” or out of chronological order on the desktop right popout blog! But you as the owner of the blog may not be able to see this! This is how you get to the popout blog:
On the popout blog, the blog owner / admin will see their posts normally, but your friends visiting the popout blog will see old posts from months/years ago mixed in with more recent posts ( @new-xkit-extension‘s timestamp extension is helpful here). The out of order posts have probably been flagged. (You may not be able to see the flag.) SO!
Ask a friend to look at your desktop right popout blog for the first 10 to 20 posts. Your friend can tell you which posts are out of order or flagged for you to request a content appeal.
5) You may have other flagged posts in addition to the “stuck” ones! This script might help you find other flagged posts on your blog, but it has known bugs and it will not find all of them. As I write this, we currently do not know of a way to find all of your flagged posts on your blog.
6) The best thing to do right now is, if you see an incorrectly flagged post, message the OP to let them know their post was flagged and they can request a content appeal.
7) If you’re an artist or photographer and you think your work isn’t going to be allowed on tumblr anymore, request an appeal anyway! It might be restored! (Seriously, this art on my sideblog was immediately restored, so try an appeal! It works!)
8) If a post is incorrectly flagged, but the OP has deleted their blog, we don’t know if there is a way to appeal the post.
9) Sometimes if you reblog a post that’s flagged you’ll get a notification that it is flagged – contact the OP if so and let them know their post was flagged.
