porn vs art / RIP Tumblr

All the articles about Tumblr’s incipient, self-inflicted death, pro and con, focus on Porn with a capital P. Left out of the public discussion is non-pornographic art involving nudity or sexuality… which, as a trip to any museum on Earth will quickly prove, is a substantial portion of Art as it has always existed. With the demise of Tumblr there is no real place to discuss and share *that* on the internet anymore.

Pause for a moment on that thought, please: the Internet is the most powerful communications tool & visual platform ever invented by humans (by some orders of magnitude)… but is seemingly incapable of providing a simple safe haven for society’s most precious asset, art.

No bookshop would think to block all books containing any sexuality from their shelves. No cinema would prohibit movies from showing “female-presenting nipples” across the board. Despite the oft-cited but purely theoretical difficulty in determining what is porn and what isn’t, in actual practice it turns out to be quite simple for a given movie theatre to show the one and not the other.

I can only assume that the people who run Tumblr are phiistines, & lazy phiistines to boot. For these sins they’ll pay the severest penalty capitalism offers when their site throws itself into the dustbin of history on December 17th. Perhaps someone with more courage will pick up the tattered, NSFW banner of Culture & lead us forward, hm? Fingers crossed.

I will say it again.

The fight is not about porn.

The fight is about censorship and selective double standards.

I did not start my time here for porn, I came here to promote my art, view others creative endeavors, share things I found interesting, and engage people from around the world.

I found all those things and freedom from censorship was what I and many others found appealing here.

That is why this change is difficult for many, the loss of that freedom.

I have learned a lot about other people, points of view, artistic expression however someone chose to do so.
