NGC 2070.

 tumblr to me was the wild mix of art, trash, self-expression, passion, porn, kink and sex. Like a dream or the subconscious: never pretty, never nice but immensely vivid and inspiring. An tumblr was truth. People would spill out their phantasies, their fears, their secrets…

Censorship - Only nice stuff allowed

With the new regulations in place tumblr will be heavily censored and all about nice, nice…like facebook or instagram. I don’t need that. I’m on Facebook and on Instagram already.

Nobody needs another Instagram

I joined tumblr in May 2013. Today I have over 57k follower and nearly 1000 posts of original art.  I have little interest in what tumblr has become.

I will not post anything in December

Here is my call out to you. 

Stop posting art and visuals! Post your protest! Nothing else!

Use the hashtag #tumblrisover

Make yourself heard. Make #tumblrisover trending. 

When did freedom of expression suddenly become an online crime? When did an attack on a specific subset of any group ever work to the benefit of any institution?

In this bloggers humble opinion, Tumblr’s December 17th forced genocide of Adult Content blogs is just another example of how our society is slipping backwards in its level of tolerance towards anything that is different, preferring to have this type of content hidden away, and marked with a scarlet letter of intolerance and shame.

Are there issues revolving around certain types of blogs Yes. Child pornography and other unacceptably content is abhorrent to all. Is Tumblr going after those specific types of blogs? No. Are they setting up a system that blocks minors from accessing adult content blogs? No. They are preferring to follow a simplistic “nuke it all” approach rather than address the overall problem. Taking a M.A.D (mutually assured destruction) approach, can only end in one way, for without adult content, Tumblr will die off.
