I will have to delete my tumblr
The Tumblr will lose many users this will at some point it will hurt in the pocket. But who else will lose is the culture and we who are here.R.I.P Tumblr.My tumblr has helped a lot of people. Many boys came to me. I avoided many suicides. I have helped many boys and men who have never accepted to be gay, because of the family, and today they are free.Every day I get pictures of couples who say they are happy and feel confident to go out on the streets as a couple, because they see in my tumblr, gay couples, living like any other normal couple. And that’s what we are. We are normal, Tumblr. We are not explicit content. Hello guys. I ask you to read this text.
It is with great sadness that I say that I will have to delete my blog.
After the new rule of tumblr regarding “explicit content”, I will not be in here anymore.
From my point of view, it comes not with the intention of being a secure network, but to move LGBTQs away from networks. I’m not exaggerating!
It’s been some time since I’ve been fighting with tumblr, for marking my publications as NSFW, when in fact it’s just two boys in a simple show of affection.
This is not “explicit content”. Being gay, loving someone of the same sex, is not being “explicit”.
I have my tumblr, since mid 2009 or 2010. It has always been an free and open platform. I came to stop here, precisely because it was a place where I could gather love stories between men, without being censored or despised. A safe place where we could love who we are and who we want.
It’s clear the “cleanup” attempt that tumblr has been trying to make since its sale to Yahoo was signed.

I can give another example. This is not my only blog. I have in total five accounts on tumblr. Each one with its distinct content. One of them is my portfolio of photos. Some of my essays are nude. It is not explicit. The human body is not explicit, just by being naked.
In this particular case, several photos with bare female breasts were marked as explicit, but every day our male nipples are exposed and treated normally. The female body is “explicit content,” but the man walks freely with pectoralis the show.
This is not just a way of putting LGBTQs into obscurity, again, it is also a machist. This Tumblr act is a setback.
Not long ago, there was the tool “Safe Mode”, that yes, despite many errors, if it were improved, would be a great tool, and that has full my support.
Tumblr was once a place where artists could expose their arts without being censored by the old fallacy of “this is not art.”
How many illustrators, writers, cartoonists, designers, photographers, among others, who will lose a platform where they can spread their work? This work by the way, which is already left aside, by the “real world.”
The Tumblr will lose many users this will at some point it will hurt in the pocket. But who else will lose is the culture and we who are here.
Oh I’m sorry. This is not art anymore, it is explicit content.
