The Magic of Stillness

Note: about an hour ago or so, I posted this text. And now, it was flagged for sensitive content. I think it was because I posted screenshots of  some of the post on this blog being flagged for sensitive content ALTHOUGH THEY ARE JUST PICTURES OF SCULPTURES (naked human sculptures, but that’s art, not porn @staff). This shows how awfully the filter for adult content works. I post again the text without the screenshot so more people can have access to it.

The news about Tumblr’s latest policy is surfing all over the internet. Personally, I don’t think removing all pornography is going to be the solution to Tumblr’s problem. There is a big part of the community who uses this platform to express themselves sexually with photos, gifs, videos and text (me included, not in this particular blog, but my personal one has adult content and it’s purposely flagged like NSFW so minors can not enter it. I’m perfectly cool with it, minors should not be exposed). This restriction will only decrease the number of users on this platform. Minors shouldn’t be exposed to +18 content, but this site has a lot of adults users, who are going to turn away on this site.

Leaving that aside, let’s talk about this blog now. Because of personal problems, lately I haven’t been updating it. Searching for sculptures on the internet is harder than it would appear to. Since this blog started getting more and more followers, I tried to look for the best quality images I could find, and do some research on the particular piece of art I’m going to be blogging about. That takes a lot of time, so I can only update it when I’m really free (at the end of December there will be an update, I promise you😉). Also, I don’t check on this blog really often.

When I heard the news of the new restrictions, I opened it after a long time, to discover that the majority of the posts on this blog where flagged for sensitive content. This is an art blog, since when sculptures and art are sensitive and have to be restricted and censored?? This is not NSFWrestrictive,you but it restricts culture and knowledge. Dear @staff , your filters and means to detect porn don’t work. It flags everything, including art. Instead of banning everything it would be better if you improved your filters.

Finally I’d like to add that if Tumblr is going for “A better, more positive Tumblr” removing “malicious” content like photography of genitalia and expressions of love like porn, they SHOULD as well remove Nazi propaganda and other forms of hate speech that appears from time to time on the platform, and be more controlling on eating disorder blogs and suicidal blogs. A simple “are you okay?” post at the beginning of the results will not solve that problem, and eating disorder blogs have THOUSANDS of followers.

If someone knows about another platform similar to this one (blog-type like) where I can move my personal and this blog, please let me know. Thank you.
