im not gonna like stop using this site or anything but i can pretty confidently say this is one of the dumbest moves ive seen a site make in a while. instead of fixing the actual problems with their website ie pornbots on every fucking post, actual pedophiles, theyre just going to ban everything horny which most likely isnt going to solve those problems and is going to hurt lots of sex workers and artists as well as drive people off the site
Look, I know I’m not an NSFW blog, or am in any way affiliated with NSFW shit, but many people dabble in both on here, there are those who built a community based around something intrinsically lewd - - that doesn’t make it any less valid or significant. Tumblr states on their twitter bio: “where your interests connect with your people” – but that’s absolute bullshit when you ban something as normalized and okay as nudity and lewd art.
NSFW artists are still artists trying to make due, NSFW photographers, amateur or not, still should have a platform to share their stuff with a community.
Tumblr thinks that everything will become perfect and idealized once they remove the NSFW aspects from their site, but that’s not how forcibly removing content works – it doesn’t work, it pisses people off, it waters down the content on your site, and it destroys your already fragile reputation.
Tumblr never fucking listens, they refuse to listen, regardless of how much shit this site goes through, how much negativity it acquires, they make the worst decisions or no decision at all. They need to fucking learn, or they’ll lose something of value to many on here. They need to rethink their actions, and fast.
I’ll still be here, but catch me on twitter too. I now know the importance of expanding your following to more than one website.
ah yes, tumblr is “banning porn”, you know, “““porn”““, like that one time they had their bots tag basically all lesbian and trans blogs as ““““““porn”““““. i truly trust the clowns who run this website to not literally fuck this up in the most heinous way imaginable while desperately begging for apple to restore their shitty app
