anyways tumgl dot shit is punishing the entire website because they couldn’t do their fucking jobs. like yeah, the p*dophilic content is going, but it’s only because tumblr got banned from app stores. let that sink in. tumblr is now endangering sex workers, content creators, and artists because they couldn’t be assed to do their job. this is a website that marks lgbt+ content as explicit. this website allowed itself to be a breeding ground for p*rn bots and illegal, criminal sexual behavior like child p*rn, and the language they use in the new community guideline page is absolutely disgusting, such as “female-presenting nipples.” firstly , br/easts are not inherently female you absolute bastards.
secondly, this is going to affect se/x wor/kers—- specifically, by endangering their lives — content creators, and artists. there’s a section about how “artistic” nudity is fine, but hyper realistic and / or realistic art is also not allowed. the long spiel on their blog that everyone could collectively care less about is false on many accounts. you want to better your community? maybe do your jobs for once. if i report someone for harassment, bullying, or even suicide-baiting, i know tungle won’t do anything. they’re only punishing the community because this website failed at their job of keeping minors safe SO BADLY, they got deleted from the app store.
thirdly, and probably the most important important: VISUAL content is banned. WRITTEN content is not. people can still WRITE CP on this hellsite and get away with it. this move won’t get rid of all cp, just the VISUAL IMAGES OF CP, aka what got tumblr banned from the apple app store in the first place.
also, tumblr could delete my blog for making this post. i legitimately have no idea! the wording in their “update” and new guidelines is so damn vague, i can’t make heads or tails of it.
so yeah, the p*rn bots will go, and so will the visual child p*rn, ( not written! that’s still okay! ) but also remember that this is only happening because tumblr didn’t do their job. remember that this is happening because tumblr didn’t monitor illegal activity. remember that tumblr let this shit go on for so long that they got deleted from the app store. remember that tumblr intrinsically failed to stop illegal, dangerous, and inappropriate sexual activity from being on their website, and the solution they came up with is to not do their jobs better, but instead endanger a good chunk of its userbase instead of—– wait for it ——– doing their job!
remember that if tumblr really cared about the people that used this website, it wouldn’t have come to this. remember that this update is not the safest thing for this website, or made for the community. this is tumblr taking the easiest, laziest way out of a problem they refused to address, acknowledge, or fix themselves. tumblr is endangering a good chunk of their user base because as a company, it’s the easiest, cheapest, and fastest way out of the shitstorm they brought upon themselves, and to get in the good graces of apple again so they can get their barely-functioning app back.
also quick note: what REALLY burns my ass is tumblr trying to act like they’re making this place safe for minors. that’s a damn transparent lie. if they gave two shits about keeping minors safe, they would’ve done their jobs or, you know…… Banned CP And P*dophilia. written content will still be allowed. n*zi blogs? that’s okay! gore? also okay! nip nops? no. banned.
i really don’t have much to say other than tumblr can pretend to give two shits about minors all they want, but it’s real funny how they only care after apple took their half-broken app down. they’re being horrifically transparent and hiding behind “we’re doing this for minors” while failing at every step to protect minors since 2008 or whenever this hellsite was made.
