Well, if hey want to shoot themselves in the foot, it’s their site. I dun get it tho. I dun think tumblr gets many new users.. so dun think they can afford to lose many. But hey..
So yeah, my explicit stuff will now be uploaded to Derpi artist:anonipony for searches.. and this place will stay up for sfw stuff if any.
But since I’ll literally not be able to post it (or anything else I do) on tumblr soon, i’ll just post a crop and encourage y’all to check out the full page on places where I can actually post it!
There are also other sites coming out one day that I may join if their functionality meets my needs for posting personal art. If this blog still lives or so after the hit I will ensure to advertise them all.
In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue.
Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.
Reblog to signal boost! We must force change.
Totally doing it. Heck I might do this today cuz It is called for. If I don’t return, you know why.
I have a channel called #where-dem-artists-at right under the General Chat channel of the server
The primary function of this channel is for anyone to post links to blogs that artists are migrating to.
If you are an artist, or if you would like to keep following artists no matter where they go, or if you would simply like to add more to the growing list of names and places that are in this channel, you can use this informative channel to find your way.
Currently there are 850-ish users in the server and I’m going to be announcing that I would like people to create as many masterposts as they can in there with the format:
– Artist Fandom Name – Artist Tumblr URL – List of all the places they’re moving to – (Optional but Appreciated) Example of their Art
You DO NOT have to be an active member of the server, you can ignore all other functions if you so please and only use it to have a continuously growing list of names and websites. I am 100% okay with that.
However, if you grow to like the server it’ll be lovely to have you!
Assuming you aren’t a dingus.
Please Reblog!
And if you’re an artist, consider popping in to toss your information in there personally, you can leave after or we can give you an Artist role and you can stick around. 🙂
I feel like the giraff in that surreal “my child” meme like… Thank you.. You save my life.<3
In 2019 we grow from sex positivity to sex responsibility, meaning we:
call out shitty people who are just abusers and using kink/polyamory to mask it and stop supporting them
recognize that sometimes hypersexuality can be a form a self-harm for some people
keep kinks and fetishes in appropriate spaces and not bringing them out into general public spaces and thereby involving people in scenes they aren’t consenting to
understand that some fetishes are inherently unhealthy and some illegal to actually engage in for good reason and ignoring that is irresponsible at best
I’m very confused on how engaging in illegal fetishes is only irresponsible when it’s, in fact, also illegal. And if by “engaging” you simply mean jerking off to the fantasy of said fetish – then there isn’t any wrongdoing going on at all there. Because in a problematic fantasy you obviously ignore and turn a blind eye to everything realisticly bad with it, otherwise you’d have a hard time getting your rocks off when your fantasy contains these forbidden elements. You can jerk of to a fantasy in your head while still being fully aware that it possibly must forever be a fantasy, when you’re not jerking off to a “problemfree” version of it. That scenario doesn’t make you an irresponsible person.
The last point had a good heart though. Just saying I fear it might be interpreted as a way to shame people that has pc-unfriendly kinks. Especially on this site where everyone is eligible to get shamed the moment they use the wrong pronoun.
Well, when it comes to illegality you have to remember that there are still some places where things like gay sex or even premarital as a whole is illegal. There are also many places where rape is legal in some circumstances. So legality isn’t really a basis for healthy/unhealthy or responsible/irresponsible.
By “engaging” I primarily mean actually performing the acts, such as injecting your genitals with silicone, that is illegal because regular people can’t legally acquire the materials to do so and it’s illegal for a medical professional to perform the procedure because of how risky it is. While it isn’t necessarily irresponsible to fantasize about having wanting enlarged genitalia, the act of the procedure giving it to you is bad and the fantasy is often the result of extreme body dysmorphia as well.
HOWEVER, we must also realize that we do not exist in bubbles and somethings are harmful to even fantasize about because they are intrinsically and irrevocably bad and the fantasy will almost always inevitably lead to harm being done. Insisting otherwise is how we wind up with people trying to protect pedophiles and other evil people. @raenboow
Now I wouldn’t call someone evil just because they have a mental illness. As long as the pedo doesn’t in any way engage in his desires ever ever than they should not be shamed as an evil person. But I’m guessing you mean the ones that has engaged, so ok, I kinda get your point.
