Alright, everyone has heard so far about tumblrs new policy about allowing no adult content. Even though I run this simply writing blog where my page will not be affected that doesnāt mean Iām not gonna say that I think the tumblr staff is full of assholes and I shouldnāt stand up and sign petitions against the ban and in support of pages dealing with nsfw. (Please sign the petitions against Tumblrs new policy)
Tumblr has always been known for being the type of platform where you can scroll through your feed and find explicit shit come on, whether you wanted it to or not, and you just quickly scroll past it like nothing happened. But letās be honest, that happens on every social media platform, just maybe not a full on porno coming on your feed. Thereās an argument about how parents shouldnāt have to deal and worry about their young child being on a platform and having to deal with that, yet weāre in age where you could monitor your childās social media and phone time for their safety. And second of all, itās important to already teach your kids about internet safety before they even get onto any media platforms. Weāre all very self aware of the problems that we face online, but tumblr has always been the site to be considered more āRated Rā than any other site. And I donāt think Iāve ever considered Tumblr has a āchild friendlyā site to begin with, but it can be since installing the āsafe modeā option.
The main problems with tumblr is how itās been like living in a porn bot apocalypse. And tumblr hasnāt cleaned it up at all. Some of my most popular writing pieces get reblogged by these porn bots, but they erase all my content and keep my likes and reblogs. Thatās one of my most annoying issues, because even though they arenāt stealing my work, theyāre stealing my credit. Yet besides that, you get random bots messaging you and coming up into your feed and getting rid of that problem, wouldāve been for the greater good for everyone.
You know, I genuinely donāt have a problem with adults running porn related blogs whether itās just reblogging or posting their own explicit content. Some people do it for their own pleasure, and some people actually do it on here to help their line of work. There is nothing wrong with working in rated r content, itās obviously not the most traditional thing to do, but thereās nothing wrong with it as long as people are being safe about it. Isnāt that whatās really important? Doing things with safety and protecting yourself from danger. Yet, there are still people that use social media to solicitate minors and tumblr isnāt a site that is an exception to that. There are several blogs on this site that demonstrate pedophilia and concerning behavior, that needs to be looked out and watched for. And as terrible as this is, whether youāve encountered it or not, but child pornography is a definite and disgusting reality here that is still needed to be taken care of. Iāve read a comment from an old man saying how young girls are the best types because they donāt fight back, and Iāve been across a blog concerning their own incest relations. Illegal activity and putting other users in dangers is the real problem, not if people decide to post pornstars or sell their own brand of lingerie.
You can watch porn anywhere on the internet, but you canāt find every nsfw artists on some porn site or even any social media platform without having to censor their own work, so they donāt get reported. And there are people that create nsfw merchandise, and there are few sites they can promote it on and Tumblr was one of them.
The funny thing is that the other half of Tumblr is made up of nsfw, and thereās honestly nothing wrong with that or to be ashamed of, because sex and sexual appeal is a big influence in the society we live in (which canāt be helped). There were other issues that Tumblr needed to resolve first. With the intentions of trying to fix a problem, they created a bigger one. Theyāre robbing several fantastic artists of exposure, because they like to draw porn, or because theyāve drawn a character with clevage or a woman showing her nipples, as if no one on Earth has them. Tumblr is just quickly going downhill by flagging everything, even content of people hugging and holding hands. Tumblr is like any other site where you share what you like on, but thereās several people here that decided to make a living on what they like to do and tumblr is a part of promoting themselves. Tumblr shouldnāt deprive people and the other side of their fan base from nsfw content, because they decided to want to be considered more āsafeā when this site has never been looked at as a āchild friendlyā place, and wanting to make it more comfortable for others - give me a break, people use tags for a reason. And the only nsfw content that shows up under tags that arenāt related to that are because of porn bots. And just because Tumblr got taken off the App Store, I figured this place would love to rebel more instead of doing this since they claim to be āwide openā with ācreative expression.ā The reality of their decision is Tumblr isnāt supportive of those that use nsfw as creative expression, who were never going against any guidelines before, because of the pressure and the offense they felt for being taken off the App Store.
So, Tumblr you either get your fucking shit together and re-evaluate your decision, because what you did was extremely inconsiderate. And Iām not even running a blog considered āadult content.ā
You were cool and all, but fuck you for doing this. @staff
