tumblr just added an update that requires you to verify your age in order to view "mature content". I'm not sure how they do the verification (haven't yet checked), but given recent similar updates from things like Discord, it most likely involves sending them a photo of either your face or your ID.

In addition, over the past few months, and also years in the long-term, tumblr has been incorrectly marking things as mature content. These include:

Notifications about missing persons and requests for help

Posts about youth liberation

Posts about sex education

Posts about how the mature content is poorly implemented

Posts about being trans, more specifically about trans women and transmisogyny by both tumblr and users on tumblr

Non-sexual selfies by trans women/transfems

Trans womens'/transefems' ENTIRE BLOGS even if the blog contains no sexual content

Reblogs made by various blogs, mostly trans women, which add no additional content but somehow are marked as containing mature content, when the original post is not

Posts talking about racism and antiblackness both on and off tumblr

Posts by black people, especially black trans people, that are non-sexual

And likely many more I haven't seen

In essence, this update has mandated that a majority of users (within the UK and Brazil) must either a) submit their personal information to tumblr, a website whose moderation has been EXTREMELY biased against marginalised people and who I would not trust with my ID, or b) be excluded from absolutely all conversations tumblr decides are "mature content", whether they are actually sexual in nature or not. Furthermore, anyone not over 18 will also not be allowed to take part in these conversations, or even see them, or interact with many trans women or people of colour on this site, as tumblr decides.

This update is complete bullshit designed to censor and exclude marginalised people, poorly hidden under a guise of "protecting teenagers from sexual content", and they know it.

Deity+Angel: a 16+ nichelink relationship dynamic where one person is the "deity" and the other/s are their "angel/s."

("deity" can be replaced with "god" "goddess" "goddex" or whatever term that person prefers, and "angel" can also be replaced with anything accurate)

this may include, but is not limited to:

finding terms like Boss+Employee and Boss+Personal Assistant appealing, but wanting something that ties into being divine

the angel wanting to be a loyal assistant to the deity who "fights" for them, whatever that may mean for the people involved

the deity being an introject/alterhuman/etc of a deity and wanting to recreate the feeling of having followers

the deity being desirgod/goddess, desirdeity, dissodeity, or similar terms

attraction terms like rianic, spiritual, reldevotion, angodis, celiangeitia/deituangelica etc

neomythic or creartheist terms/practices, or a community of people who use one of them choosing members to play the "deity" and "angel"

nichelink coining

these flags inspired mine: Deity+Worshipper, angelologyteacher, rianic attraction

i do not really like how my flag came out. you're welcome to remake it (or any of my flags).
