tumblr’s flagging system banning SFW content, 2018

Ok weighing in on this whole Tumblr NSFW purge for a moment: It’s both the concept and implementation that is concerning. As you all know, I do not reblog or upload sensitive material that is pornographic in nature, and Tumblr swears that artistic use of nudity or other such ‘sensitive’ themes will be protected, however as of right now post that have been flagged on my blog include:

Viktor Vasnetsov’s Shroud of Christ, painted 1901

Jean-Baptiste Mauzaisse’s Time Showing the Ruins that He Causes and the Works of Art He Brings to Light, painted 1822

James McNeill Whistler’s Sketch for “The Balcony”, painted 1870 and so abstract that I cannot fathom how it has been tagged as NSFW

The post collecting some of Franz Stuck’s mythical scenes

The post collecting some of Franz Stuck’s portraits of Classical figures

A detail from John William Godward’s Mischief and Repose, painted 1895

Joseph-Désiré Court‘s Achilles Introduced to Nestor, painted 1820

Sir Edward John Poynter’s Diadumenè, painted 1893

Laszlo Neogrady’s Witches scene, painted 20th century

Any system that sees art like this as obscene to an almost puritanical degree is nothing more than the officious state censor, even if it is accidental and regardless of if these issues will be fixed later. If a Orthodox icon of Christ from early 20th century Russia is too erotic for Tumblr, I suppose education and interest in art history and material culture has no place on this website.

Just found out about this, and I can’t say I’m on board either. While I understand getting rid of harmful content is important, I don’t feel like it’s going to work this way. Last time ‘nudity’ and 'adult content’ was censored, so many of my posts were blurred. I can’t imagine this will work too well with my blog.

#I've been searching for this

I finally obtained a copy of this masterpiece of an artbook. I always thought I’d never get my hands on it, but also thought it was a necessity to get it...I adored the art so very much. Today is an important day for me; I haven’t felt such an immense joy in so long.
