since written porn is technically still allowed, tumblr is obligated to allow NSFW ascii art after december 17th as it falls into a gray area and is immune to image filters

I was re-watching Star Wars and I decided the background jedi needed more appreciation. Just trust me, you have to see these guys.

image

this guy stabs a super battle droid in the face and then kicks it down

image

this guy launches a surprise attack from behind a pillar while his buddy in the back does a forward summersault

image

despite having lightsabers, kicking droids seems to be a common theme.

image

I’ll say that again. Kicking. Droids. Metal droids. Ouch. Speaking of metal,

image

This guy’s not even sure where he is and he’s still kicking trade federation ass

image

then we got this guy way in the back – behind the guy swinging his blade like it’s a fucking battleaxe – who’s got a lightsaber in each hand

image

and HE’S NOT THE ONLY ONE

image

We got this guy pulling some kind of Darth Maul move

image

And if you look out the left side of the carriage you’ll see Dual Saber Droid Decapitation Inc. hard at work

image

pretty sure that guy behind the pillar is about to fucking throw his lightsaber. Kit Fisto approves.

image

okay now this guy’s just showing off.

When Tumblr bans porn, who loses?

A former staff engineer, who recently left Tumblr and asked to remain
anonymous for professional reasons, tells Vox that the NSFW ban was “in
the works for about six months as an official project,” adding that it
was given additional resources and named “Project X” in September,
shortly before it was announced to the rest of the company at an
all-hands meeting. “[The NSFW ban] was going to happen anyway,” the
former engineer told me. “Verizon pushed it out the door after the child
pornography thing and made the deadline sooner,” but the real problem
was always that Verizon couldn’t sell ads next to porn.

Porn on Tumblr is something Verizon needs to wipe out if it’s going to
make any money off what it thinks is actually valuable about the
platform — enormous fandom and social justice communities that, just
before the Verizon acquisition, Khalaf was insisting the staff figure
out how to better monetize.

On that note-

Two former Tumblr employees said they were alarmed when Khalaf chose
Black Lives Matter as an example of a community that the company should
focus on converting into Yahoo media consumers. One told The Verge,
“Simon explicitly said that Black Lives Matter was an opportunity to
[make] a ton of money.”

Capitalism is disgusting and ruins everything.

When Tumblr bans porn, who loses?
