Hello Turtle Riders. As you know if you follow Turtleboy we are constantly getting by Facebook for what are clearly not violations of their terms of service. Twitter has done the same, and trolls mass reported our blog to Google AdSense thousands of times, leading to demonitization. We can get by and survive, but we could really use your help. Please consider donating by hitting the PayPal button above if you’d like support free speech and what we do in the face of Silicon Valley censorship.
BREAKING NEWS: “I Am Turtleboy” is now available in paperback on Amazon and can be purchased by clicking here. There’s only 6 or 7 weeks until Christmas, and if you put this under the tree you will be the most popular relative this year. If you bring it to a Yankee swap this will be the gift that someone else takes out of your hands if they get the last pick. I promise you it will entertain and educate you in ways you’ve never been before.
Also available on E-Book.

I spent months writing this book because there was a lot that needed to be said after the year we’ve had constantly fighting to have our voices heard.

If it’s free, it’s for me.
Just downloaded it!! Gonna start it after dinner tonight!!
Read it last weekend. Excellent! I was surprised to learn that Richard N. Vulva was not a TB creation. Plus I learned that I started reading the blog somewhat early, prior to Busgate. And I don’t remember now how I found it. LOL
I got the E book late Monday night, I was up til almost 4 AM reading it. It is a good read, and worth the $$$, even if you don’t always agree with the content, the back stories are interesting. Drop the 10 bucks and buy the E version if you want to read it immediately.
Am I mentioned? Is loupicka? Is borges? Is Adam Jones really mentioned cuz that really happened! Kevin Cullen heard it and then later on people came to my house and stuff !
I’m more excited about reading this book than watching the next Jonah Hill movie.
You should have a chapter about how you stopped writing the blogs yourself and started paying girls like SSTG and Bristol $85k a year to do all of the writing.
TB, saw this in another post, but N1gger, A!den, and Ke@rney (spelled properly) are words that are censored from the comments section. Comments won’t even post. I thought you were anti-censorship? Care to explain?
Read the book; it explains everything.
Because the comment section will just become a cesspool of people who hate Turtleboy posting shit like that to give him a bad name.
You seen the fake hate crime hoaxes? “OMG A WHITE NATIONALIST WEBSITE WITH THE N WORD IN THE COMMENTS! REEEEEEEEE”
Completely agree. So ban those people. Don’t ban words. One is censorship, one is not. And speaking personally, sometimes I like to vent on a post about a ratchet black person. Doesn’t make me any less of a Turtle Rider.
As you’ll see if you read the book, there is a reason for this that has nothing to do with censorship. We do not have the ability to ban people. Anyone could just sign in under a new name, with our without using a VPN, and post away. It is probably pointless for us to auto block the n word, since you can just spell it wrong by a letter and it still comes up. But if the hill you want to die on is your ability to post the n word without being censored, I’d suggest that your priorities are out of wack.
