Tumblr banning tags like ‘racism’, ‘antisemitism’, ‘transphobia’ and ‘mental illness’ on ios really is a new low huh.
@ everyone saying “it’s not Tumblr it’s Apple!” Are you really picturing in your mind a conversation where Apple said “hey Tumblr, make sure you ban the tag ‘queue’ if you want to keep your app on ios”? Are you really picturing that? Because it didn’t happen. This IS Tumblr’s fault for choosing to attempt a shotgun approach at content control and I WILL blame them for shooting more holes in their website than actually hitting anything.
All while making up their stupid “things we care about” end of the year lists, pretending to give a shit about racism, feminism, etc. while banning tags like ‘antiblackness’ and ‘misogyny’.
