 feminism that make up a large part of Tumblr culture.

But ever since the controversial Tumblr medievalPOC first drew TumblrInAction’s attention, owner Malisha Dewalt, whose real name was revealed in an interview with NPR last year, claims she has been harassed, threatened, and even stalked in person from members of the forum. Now, she’s speaking out, and other subreddits are starting to take notice and take action.

MedievalPOC first attracted TumblrInAction’s attention because Dewalt wrote about the whitewashing of Frozen. Using her by-now standard method of simply producing evidence, usually art-based, of non-white people living all over Europe, Dewalt argued that the film’s all-white cast was historically inaccurate. It’s a straightforward approach that has allowed her to produce many similar critiques, most notably of a popular Kickstarter-funded game, Kingdom Come.

Ever since then, the Tumblr has been a magnet for trolls, harassers, and death threats, of which Dewalt claimed to have received at least 30 by late May. The most recent flare-up came Wednesday, when Dewalt posted a link to a recent study of diversity in Hollywood science fiction and fantasy films. Although she wasn’t the one who did the research, or even the one who dug up the link (it was submitted by another Tumblr user), the post went straight to Reddit and Dewalt claims she was bombarded with harassment.

By Wednesday evening, Dewalt had apparently had enough. “Let’s stop pretending we have no idea where this comes from,” she wrote, posting a sampling of some of the harassment she found in her inbox throughout the day:

The TumblrInAction subreddit, like other “wank watch” communities of its kind, has a rule about not contacting the subjects of the blogs posted on the website. Dewalt points out that the rules appear to have no teeth.

“Medievalpoc has received tens of thousands of hits from this particular subreddit from more than 60 separate threads, some of which have hundreds of derogatory comments, using slurs, threats, and racist ‘jokes,'” she stated.

Even more alarmingly, Dewalt claimed she had to call the police on four separate occasions to deal with real-life threats to herself and her family. Here’
