Okay, let’s clear this up a little before we start burning down the house…

Anyone else singing Tom Jones? Anyhoo…

TL:DR for the Tumblr guidelines – 

Adult content will still be allowed on Tumblr provided it meets their guidelines.

Guidelines are that IMAGES/GIF/VIDEOS containing FEMALE-presenting nipples/human genitalia that is not for artistic/political/educational purposes .i.e. The Statue Of David is okay, Ron Jeremy banging two blondes with a feather duster is not.

If you currently have anything not adhering to their guidelines on your blog, they will change the post so only you can view it and this cannot be changed back. They’ll notify you by email if anything of yours gets flagged. BOY AM I LOOKING FORWARD TO 3,000 NOTIFICATIONS.

If your blog is currently NSFW, it will stay that way. You can still write and post erotica (the porn of sophisticates) but things like porn gif blurbs are a no-no.

If your posts are flagged and they are not breaking the rules, you can appeal it.

I am really tired of the “think of the children” excuse for adult safe spaces being censored in the name of the unholy dollar and because they can’t or refuse to stop pornbots.

I have enjoyed having grownup discussions, seeing grownup art, and using grownup language with the option to exclude underagers from my area. Sound ageist? It’s not. I wouldn’t allow kids into a nightclub either.

They effectively have made this FB 2.0 and now if you aren’t palatable to the youngest blogger you are unwelcome.

That is abhorrent.

It’s sheer lazy coding and willful disregard for anyone who went through all their hoops in order to make sure this place could work for all with harm to none.

Disappointed doesn’t begin to cover it.

Spot. Fucking. On.

Stole the words right out of my mouth @izhunny!

I’m gonna be on this website until it literally gets destroyed but if anyone knows of actual adult alternatives to this website, please share. I’m not here to be forced into sfw content, I’m a fucking adult @staff

I’ve heard of Pillowfort but I’m not willing to actually pay money for something that’s still in such early stages but if this is really the way Tumblr is gonna be from now on…

The porn bots run rampant, but when you post a picture of a naked arse, you are in trouble.

That’s just……..sad.

Asking a 5 year old to forfeit their rights without a lawyer is insane. It’s inhuman. It is the worst possible scenario.

But for Republicans, it is their policy.

I do not want to detract from this horror, but I also want you to know that lame duck republicans in states like Wisconsin and Michigan are trying to do the same thing NC did a few years ago, which is shove through a bunch of laws that defang the power incoming democrats can use to fix what republicans did.

and like this absolute fucking horror, the media is barely covering it. republicans are getting away with this shit in broad daylight. This is absolutely their policy. Cruelty for their own benefit is the point.
