The Remaining Tumblr base after Dec 17th

@staff is it?

@staff explain why the rating age is 17+. If anything it’s 17-

These WERE the things what made tumblr something.

They wanted the truth so I gave it to them

We won’t be around on Tumblr tomorrow as we’re joining in the “Log Off” Protest in response to the adult content ban coming into play on December 17th.

We’ll be back on the 18th with posts as usual and we’ll still be posting to our other social media, including Pillowfort (username “AlphaBetaGamer”).

The Log Off protest will last 24 hours isn’t about burning Tumblr to the ground (at least not for us anyway), it’s just a way of letting those higher up know that they’re making a mistake. The loss of ad revenue for that 24 hours will hopefully get that message across.

If you’d like to join in the protest then just don’t post or open the Tumblr app for 24 hours (starting 12 AM EST December 17th). 

If you don’t want to join in, that’s cool too - the whole reason Tumblr is the best social media platform is that people are/were free to express themselves however they like. After December 17th, Tumblr will still be a great social media platform, it’ll just be a little less great.

Please also be courteous to the hard-working (and genuinely helpful) Tumblr staff during this time - they only have to enforce the ban, they’re not the ones who decided to implement it.

Hope you all have a great December 17th. Will see you on the 18th. :)

If there were not the problem of a bunch of fucking pedophiles on this shit hole of a website, I would take off my shirt and show my “female presenting nipples “in protest against The ignorance of tumblr’s @staff

I’m fucking tired of the fact that male-presenting people get to take off their fucking shirts, when for us, it’s ‘sexual’. Do you know why females have breasts? To fucking feed a baby. Boobs were not put on us to seduce men.

Oh no, nudity! THERE IS A FUCKING ‘this blog is explicit’ BUTTO FOR A REASON.

YES, I am a minor

AND YES, I have on safe mode.

50-75% of the ‘adult content’ on this website is people expressing themselves.

What you need to look for is Hate, Discrimination, and illegal activity ( YES, that fucking includes sexual harassment)

Instead of restricting people who are on her to share their interests with others, you need to fucking exterminate those who are only here with foul intentions

Even if the line is thin, hate speech is not free speech

And btw, lemme give you a little tip;

People under 18? If they are on tumblr they 1. Need to be at least 13, and 2. Have probably joined with the expectation of seeing ‘adult content’

Tumblr calls itself an activist platform, and yet it still discriminates female-presenting people for having something they are born with, and aren’t in anyway sexual unless they want to be, or some idiot thinks of it as sexual

Even I’m appalled by seeing female breasts? Wanna now why? Because it’s labeled as wrong and spiteful. You are just contributing to a society of negativity by doing this

Stop ignoring the real problems

I know this is an odd request: but please reblog, I wanna get it up in out there, especially to see whether or not the staff flags it for speaking out

tumblr did what they said they were gonna to do... they wiped out... 50% of all explicit blogs
