If You Actually Want To Do Something About This:

thespectacularspider-girl:

If you’re wanting to show your displeasure, don’t just tag staff or support.  Take a page out of other consumer revolts and make sure your displeasure is known.  

Don’t be an idiot.  Do not threaten, harass or otherwise make this personal.  Contact these companies, make your displeasure known, alert them that you are a customer and you will be leaving their brand across all boards unless they reverse their decision.

Be clear, be concise, be polite, but make your displeasure known.

New Info Will Be Added As I’m Made Aware Of It

Edit: This does nothing if it isn’t shared around

Things tumblr thinks are pornography / adult content (so far) (this is day one):

  • cats 
  • women showing their middrifts 
  • gifs of Rhett and Link 
  • the “chronic illness” tag
  • dudes with large pecs 
  • Terry Crews with no shirt
  • nipples in general
  • fanart that isn’t explicit 
  • LGBT+ content
  • trans people 
  • videos with cute animals
  • regular ol’ SFW content

Things tumblr does not think are ponography / adult content: 

  • videos, gifs, and photographs of people having sex and performing sexual acts with one another

@staff JUST ADMIT YOU FUCKED UP AND REMOVE IT.

justsomeantifas:

You’re fucking ridiculous if you think tumblr’s porn/nudity ban actually has to do with child pornography. Literally every other site can effectively moderate this issue and tumblr has been actively closing in further on their anti-NSFW move. Many sex workers and NSFW artists were removed starting last month after the iOS app was removed from the App Store. Look at FOSTA/SESTA, look at the moves throughout the year to push sex workers and NSFW artists away, look at the way Patreon, Paypal, Craigslist, credit card companies, etc. have over-policed this issue and forced sex workers away. This is all so obvious. 

Also, explicitly banning and calling out “female-presenting nipples” – note there’s an exception if it’s after giving birth or during breastfeeding because OBVIOUSLY the only way breasts and nipples are okay is when you’re fulfilling your goddamn job of being an incubator and not just posting nipples wilfully or for (gasp) money. Because obviously, when we’re talking about the banning of child pornopraphy we must target “female-presenting nipples” and let everyone know that those are the real problem. Nipples are only okay when they’re “male-presenting” and in the proximity of a newborn that is confirmed yours. 

Like c’mon… FOSTA/SESTA has been presented under the guise of fighting human trafficking just like these moves are no different. If they wanted to go after these very real issues then they would and they definitely wouldn’t be (dangerously) conflating the issues. Also why can I still look up violent pro-Nazi, antisemitic imagery but not a goddamn nipple??

BTW read into how Apple has been forcefully pushing for this move & how easily they can go after other NSFW-content websites and force them to comply.
