‘the greatest secret tumblr’ revealed

I found it and, to be honest, it’s not so secret nor is it great.

A deep dive into the tumblr account Ryder warned us about last July.

A thread🧵

⚠️ WARNING - sensitive content ahead

Before I begin, I’d like to preface by saying I do not condone hateful behavior. If u choose to read ahead, please send none his way. That is not my intent, I am sharing this to spread awareness & shine light on someone who some look up to as a “leader”.

“Why involve urself then?” you might ask. Well, I normally wouldn’t. However, after watching him harass and borderline stalk people I look up to while attempting to bring down a community full of people I love for months, it’s hard to stay silent.

So let’s begin, and again, I’m serious.. ⚠️ if you choose to continue this thread or browse his tumblr urself, proceed with extreme caution. I’m a huge fan of horror, macabre, crime, etc., and there is content on his tumbler I wish I hadn’t seen. **gore warning**

As I write this, the site is live and archived. The link is https://ryderripps.tumblr.c om (remove the space between the c & o). I’m doing this so I know you’re visiting at your own risk. The site is also documented on the WayBack Machine, but none of the following is from that.

Racism is a very serious ordeal and the #BURNBAYC/#RRBAYC movement seems to be very vocal about it. However, looking into the “leader” of the movement’s past, you’d likely conclude he displays a perspective quite on the contrary.

As I share more, please bear in mind this does not include deleted content, it’s all live as of writing this.

Ryder also was not a child during any of this time, the earliest of this content was shared when he was in his 20s or later.

Additionally, I recall @Loopifyyy making a pretty damning Tweet on Ryder and Ryder claiming someone else took it in an attempt of defamation. I discovered Ryder loves to rap & I found an audio file of Ryder saying it & also him confirming it by providing the lyrics to said rap.

Here is the rap, sorry in advance 😖

If he wants to claim that someone hacked his voice and made him say that, then he’s gonna have to claim it twice. Here’s another of him finishing concluding his “rap” with the bar, “extended club mix, ya dig? now, get ready, set, reblog a n*g”

The Azealia Banks stuff mentioned by loop was also very sad and I wanted to look more into, but it looks like Ryder covered his trails about it. I found a video link via Reddit. Notice the comments. Ryder got this video removed.

Ryder appears to present himself as someone who stands against simianization, yet doesn’t mind sharing content displaying exactly that.

Further, Ryder expresses a disdain for BAYC’s use of the term “hip-hop” and tweets “hiphop is black” despite his own glorious rap skills.
Ryder also seems to be okay with sharing his own questionable “rapper” content.

He also displays a high level of comfort with the use of the n word beyond what Loopify shared before and the audio files that I shared above. Here are multiple accounts of him using the word on tumblr and in content he created.

In my pursuit to learn more about the leader of such a bizarre movement, I began realizing something that made me feel bad for Ryder to an extent. I observed a man desperate for attention, fame, and riches who wouldn’t hesitate to destroy others if it meant the limelight for him.

I noticed he would regularly post about “tumblarity” (tumblr was before me, but I believe this is similar to likes, engagement, etc.). He’d obsess over trivial deviations in his follower count and post his ranking regularly. He would periodically act as if he didn’t care as well.

I noticed a particular post mentioning a screen filming. I found (& painstakingly watched) the four part series where he describes his desire for fame & riches. Then narcissistically interviews a bunch of his friends/family on why they think he’s famous and what it means to them.

Here is part one of that video on YouTube, the remaining parts are in the bio of the first video. In the final parts, Ryder interviews his parents who both separately mention Nazis. His mother glamorously boasts about a life of luxury, riches, and fame.

His father seems to have a much different outlook & humbly describes his experiences as an accomplished artist with colleagues like Andy Warhol. Ryder’s father appears to be extremely humble and almost seems confused as to his role in in the video.

Ryder has an absurd amount of offensive content on his tumblr. I know I missed a lot, but he did show a pattern of certain obsessions. Here’s a bunch of 9/11 related content:

Here’s some Terri Schiavo content (for those who don’t know, Schiavo experienced brain damage that ultimately put her into a vegetative state. She passed away in 2005):

Here’s some JonBenét Ramsey content he shared (for the unaware, Ramsey was a child beauty pageant contestant who was found murdered in her family home):

Here’s some questionable Islamic content:

He also has been sharing content about Nazis and Hitler far before he started accusing BAYC. He even refers to Facebook as “FUCKING NAZI’S” because he was presumably suspended, banned, or something.

Ryder claims that Emperor Tomato is named after some pedo film and also makes fun of Gordon for being friends with someone who wrote about pedophilia, yet had this weird series on his tumblr where he would overlay overly sexual phrases over pics of children or their parents.

In a bizarre fashion of events he also mixes up a bunch of homophobic content with actual pictures of naked men, tons of dick pics, pics of people spreading their ass hole, etc.

More random content he shares:

Also he steals and monetizes BAYC (the exact thing he obsessively “stands against”), but calls others out when they steal. Claims repeatedly on his tumblr that he’s years ahead of everyone and the first to do cool things.

Ryder also refers to the BAYC founders as “4chan Nazi trolls”, yet shows support for 4chan on his tumblr. He suggests trolls get off by putting in breadcrumbs & subtle jabs, yet if you refer back to the original post of this thread, he is doing just that; dangling a carrot.

He even links this on his tumblr, which is a 10+ year old video of him being documented by BBC as an “internet hoaxer”. It’s been his shtick for over a decade. If you do just a little bit of digging, you’ll see his entire art career is fueled by disgusting behavior.

& in conclusion, let me reiterate, please do not send hate his way.

As I dug I saw a tormented person desperately reaching for fame. He would do anything to achieve it, but hidden in the bullshit lives a talented soul who uses their skill in the most disgusting way.

PS

Nothing I have shared was private. It was available publicly at the time of writing this. There’s also too much info to share, so I compiled a four page document full of links (many of which are not included in the thread, but also publicly available) in case they’re deleted.

PPS

No, @ryder_ripps, I don’t realize that and clearly you don’t either.
