I dont have “hetero” ships bc if I ship two characters who are a woman and a man that means they’re both bisexuals

[kkarenchen]

anyway even when not allowed to perform quads alena kostornaia’s short would have put her fourth in the men’s grand prix final

[mecharose]

why isn’t anyone allowed to be wrong anymore? it’s okay to be wrong. no one should be terrified of every tiny little mistake they might make. being wrong, and realizing you were wrong, is how you learn and grow and change.

Why I’m protesting tomorrow and why it’s still worthwhile to do so

So, let’s get one thing straight—our boycott of Tumblr tomorrow (or rather, in about 2 hours) will do nothing to reverse the porn ban. You see, the reason why Tumblr is changing their terms of service is because FOSTA-SESTA, the Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act and Stop Online Sex Trafficking Act, will hold social media companies liable for any sex trafficking that occurs on their platforms. This has nothing to do with Apple (though the App Store’s removal of Tumblr did speed up this process) and everything to do with Tumblr not wanting to be liable. Tumblr doesn’t want to put in extra effort to be compliant with the law, and so we get the porn ban. As shitty and harmful as it is, there’s nothing we can do about that.

However,

My primary issue with this ban (besides the harm it causes to sex workers, especially those in the LGBT community) is with the way it is being enforced. The types of nudity that Tumblr is claiming will be allowed are based on subtle, human ideas. These ideas are being fed to a computer system that, in essence, only has two brain cells and cannot differentiate such subtleties. We’ve already seen instances of types of nudity that Tumblr explicitly stated were okay, such as the statue of David and nudity in the name of protest, being flagged. We’ve seen the hundreds of photos of cats, clothed humans, and landscapes being flagged due to looking similar to humans. And finally, we’ve seen dozens of porn bots, which we’ve complained about for years, not being flagged after getting around the filtration by merely tagging their posts as “sfw.” This is not okay. When @staff decides to punish innocent people (yes, that includes sex workers) while not fixing the problems this community has been complaining about for years because they’re too lazy for any real action, that’s when I become upset.

I’ll admit that I’ve lost hope in this website. I’ll admit that, at this point, I don’t think there will be a way to make nsfw content “legal” on this platform again. But I do think we can at least convince staff to change the way they’re trying to go about doing this. I do think we can at least try.

Mistaking an accusatory question for a curious one is, ah, a recipe for interesting encounters.

This morning I went to use the public restroom and a woman asked, “What are you doing in here?”

“Peeing?” I said reluctantly. She didn’t say anything and I only realized what she meant when I walked into the stall.

[knaveofmogadore]

YES!! I LIKE THIS TAKE!!

[knaveofmogadore]

Basically, because I know Mobile is bad with links, the article points out hat the broad, “sfw only, no titties allowed” wave on the internet in recent years is largely due to Apple’s absolute stranglehold on the App Store. Apple has strict guidelines about NSFW content that choke creators right out of mainstream social media, even on sites like Reddit, for users of their products: 

But there are fewer and fewer mainstream sites and services that support porn and adult content, and much of that attitude has grown out of Apple’s strict controls over the App Store and the iOS ecosystem. Steve Jobs famously suggested that “folks who want porn can buy an Android phone,” and Apple has repeatedly leveraged its unprecedented power over millions of smartphones to sanitize the apps that are available on iPhones. Apple does not allow apps “that contain user generated content that is frequently pornographic.” In 2016, Apple famously deleted all third-party Reddit apps that allowed users to toggle NSFW posts on and off; even now, it is impossible to access porn on an iOS Reddit app unless you jump through various hoops.

remember though that this anger isn’t about Being Horny On Main, it’s about sex workers, their platforms and followers, NSFW creators and their art, and adult content communities that are continually being shoved out of spaces they created in recent years: 

Tumblr’s leadership seems to believe that the community using Tumblr for adult content is the same as any other porn site—showing a serious disconnect with how its users actually interact and connect on its own platform. “We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community,” he wrote.

The value of Tumblr for NSFW creators and fans was in the autonomy to curate something original, and the freedom to express and share what they’re into—something that can’t be replaced by algorithmically-suggested porn on the rest of the internet.

it was mentioned before somewhere else, but 20% of Tumblr’s traffic is brought in by content they’re now flagging as “adult” 

This is yet another example of a platform ignoring adult content when it helps the platform flourish, and then leaving those users out to dry when it’s time to crack down for some monetary gain or face-saving. In addition to being a terrible way to treat your user base, banning adult content on Tumblr will stifle a lot of creativity.

and of course, Apple is also one of the companies that has repeatedly come under fire for censoring lgbtq/queer identities on their sites, the app store, and also caved to russia’s anti-lgbtq policies like a stick of rotten bamboo

The communities that will feel this change the most will be the already-marginalized. “Tumblr banning adult content is a huge loss for the LGBTQ community, especially those with overlapping marginalized identities,” Kitty Stryker, a queer porn performer and consent activist, told Motherboard in an email. “For many, that’s the one place we could find porn that represents us, made by indie performers who created their own content outside of an often racist, transmisogynist, fatphobic industry. Tumblr was where our content could exist without pushing us into the restrictions of a misogynist, male dominated workplace.”
