#tagpocalypse

[cloudselkie]

Very concerning banned tags:

Animal abuse

Antisemitism

Antiblackness

Biphobia

Body horror

CPTSD

Depression

Dysphoria

Gynecology

Lesbophobia

Misogyny

PTSD

Racism

Sex work

Spoonie

Stim toy

Stimblr

Stimboard

Suicide prevention

SWERF

TERF

Transmisogyny

Transphobia

Trauma

Trigger

Trigger warning

Xenophobia

This is a MAJOR move against marginalized groups that tend to group on Tumblr. Many of these tags are used to call out problems or alert others of some BIG triggers in the community.

For now this is just iOS, but it probably wouldn't take much for Google to get onboard as well.

Yo, who wants a REAL conspiracy theory?

The real entity to blame for the new tag ban is neither apple nor the tumblr staff, but actually the British government because they are about to announce that the queen is dead and think the only way we won’t clown on this news is by having us distracted over something else

tumblr users girlbossed too close to the sun by saying they can use words like “kill” and “die,”now look at what happened

Hello, it seems like Tumblr collapsed once again in my absence. #submissionnis now banned, so... anyone has ideas for alternatives?

Made a fun uquiz to see how much you know about the tagpocalypse ^_^

I’m gonna need the people who think all this is solely the fault of Apple to answer a few questions.

1. If Tumblr had to implement this intense censorship to keep from being summarily kicked out of the App Store, why do apps like Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit just get to continue operating as is when we all know what their content can be like?

2. If we’re no longer allowed to use words like medicine, prescription, mental illness, anxiety, and depression, how are pharmacy and therapy apps allowed?

3. If the very mention of the word sex as well as hookup apps in particular are banned from the App Store, how did I just post a screenshot of an app literally called Hookup that openly advertises itself - within the App Store! - as the number one hookup app?

To be clear, none of these things are wrong, but they shoot all kinds of holes in the argument that Tumblr only did exactly what Apple told them and no more.

*Looks at all the stuff crossing her dash about the iOS tagpocalypse*

Anyone else suddenly feeling like maybe it actually would be kind of nice if David Karp reacquired the site? I mean, I can hardly picture him making worse decisions than the current clutch of incompetents.

I'm going to be restructuring future tags around this new bullshit. Here's a working list of substitutions. Feel free to blacklist them if you had blacklisted the previous tags with the same content.

n**s**f**t/w = thth (too hot to handle)

c**w = cm (content mention)
