So lemme get this straight
Tumblr has not only gone and killed several tumblr blogs for posting nsfw content, leaving everyone in fear if they'll get purged next.
But they've also went and COMPLETELY BLOCKED NSFW CONTENT FROM BEING VISABLE.
I can't stress enough how poor of a desistion this is. I can understand tumblr's desire to try to have this site be "family friendly", whether it would be through deleting porn bots, or even integrating a filter system that turns on automatically.
But to get rid of several blogs depicting lewd art, and leaving whatever nsfw artists are left to basically be inaccessible to anyone, is just plain offensive.
If you want to keep the sfw and nsfw users separate, I get that, I don't have a problem with that mindset. But to want to keep nsfw users separate from OTHER NSFW USERS?
I get they just lost their presence on the iOS app store, and want to remedy the reason they were pulled in the first place. But this has quickly turned from tumblr trying to make the site more user-friendly, into tumblr basically slamming an "anti-nsfw" panic button, and it's extremely frustrating.
What I'm trying to say here is, tumblr is taking very unnecessary and hasty actions against anybody who enjoys content that is not-safe-for-work, while failing to realize that a VERY large number of their users look at this kind of content, and personally I just hope none of these new "improvements" to the site are permanent.
Tl;dr: Tumblr's panicking about lewd stuff and they need to calm down.
Rant over.
