Lmao so the algorithm from what I seen blocks random ass posts with art in it AND blocks posts with anything related to lesbians or wlw in it. Staff once again, fails to do anything correctly.
i still need to finish these because i’ve been sick as fuck all day but i LOVE your sun/mars/rising. idk about taurus but it’s like… workable. date/befriend
the whole “this is good for kids” thing doesn’t….really make sense. like if they wanted to protect minors then 1. making sure there was no CP on the site and 2. enforcing the explicit blog function correctly would be the top priority. The sex workers i know/have seen on this site make use of the explict blog function and repeatedly block/warn people under 18/21 not to interact with them or they’ll get blocked. the wording of the new rules is very obviously targeting sex workers and tumblr’s transphobic definition of women. This is just a heavy handed two sided slap to get back on the app store and hurt the sex workers that rely on this site even more. also i’m pretty sure removing nazi’s would fall under “protecting children” but…here we are!
I think we can acknowledge how this move will hurt sex workers while also liking the taking down of material that’s harmful for kids? It’s too dismissive to just say “horny people have no rights” as sex workers will and have been hurt by tumblrs clumsy ass implementation but also it was wild that 15 year olds were sharing posts in how to report child porn.
The real solution was to have better tagging, a nsfw system that actually worked and for them to aggressively tackle cases of child porn, pedophilies and their communities which could have been done with months woth of site infrastructure revamping. Instead they had a few weeks to do something to get back in the App Store. We can acknowledge the people who were screwed over and endangered. It’s important to protecting sexworkers. There are many blogs in here that don’t care about sex workers and don’t care they their livelihood was or in jeopardy and just care that they can look at hentai anymore.
Y’all shouldn’t be rallying with those people and everyone needs to be better allies and uplift the voices of sex workers and I think we can do both(listen to sex workers and not let their legitimate concerns be co-opted by people who only care about looking at Sheith porn)
okay but like. my school literally let’s me wear see-through tops without a bra on and nobody cares. tumblr is officially becoming more obnoxious than my school dresscode
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
before you geeks bring out the inevitable “horny people have no rights xd” jokes again id like to remind you that there are sex workers on this site that either partly or fully rely on this site for income and theres literally nothing about this thats good or helpful
like fucking clockwork
“find other sites to be horny on” is pretty rich when sex workers were specifically targeted by congress and law enforcement under the guise of helping them (in SESTA), and in the seven months since they have been banned from almost all the sites that they provided services and content on.
SESTA and its consequences demonstrate the reassertion of (straight, white, cis, anti-lgbt) Puritan mores and sexual principles to our society, and if you’re cheering that on you need to stop and think for a while about what it is you want (and yes this is specifically do with SESTA, it’s not hard to suss out the through-line between SESTA, Apple deleting Tumblr from the app store per new regulations, and Tumblr deciding to kill adult content.
