Hey, my blog isn’t going to actually go anywhere but in light of all this stuff recently, i’m not going to be nearly as active on tumblr as I have been up until now. If you still want to interact with me and listen to my voice content, consider following my other platforms, or adding some of the places where I’m most active!!!
There will still be the occasional thing here and there as I check this still, but this is it for my actual voice content. I plan on being much more active on twitter for that, and to eventually make my own website for it as well.
I know it’s foolish, but I personally have hope that Tumblr staff is gonna change their mind and decide to come up with a better solution
I mean even an actual idiot would be able to see this site falling apart at the seams, the 380,000 signatures on the petition for them to change their mind, the mobs of angry bloggers, the mass exodus, the hate towards their company, the extremely high number of angry comments on their staff page announcement of the changes, the hundreds of YouTubers explaining why it’s a bad idea, the thousands and THOUSANDS of posts about how fucking idiotic what they’re doing is, the fact that sites like Newgrounds and Pornhub have been making posts encouraging Tumblr users to go to their websites because Tumblr is sure to crumble to dust
I honestly don’t know how any of their employees could possibly be sitting there thinking “Yeah we’re making the right choice”
Okay, real discourse type thing about this recent ban and some very recent hatemail I’m getting- Contains frank sexuality discussion:
Since I tagged a post “dtf” I’m getting numerous messages varying from “Where and when” to “You’re disgusting” to mostly “Are you serious?”
Yes, I am serious. No, I am not disgusting. Nobody is disgusting for wanting the most natural thing a human being can want. Tumblr is seriously infected with some of the most sex-negative people I’ve ever encountered. I am not talking about asexuality. That’s valid. I would no more demand someone else want anything than I would deprecate myself for wanting it. I am talking about an extreme puritanical streak in users and moderators that better belongs in 1700, not 2018.
This site is banning nipples! How backwards can you get??? It allows neo-nazis under the guise of free speech but bans sex under the guise of what? There is no justification beyond the root truth that they want to sell advertising space. That’s the staff. So what’s everyone else’s excuse?
Why am I getting berated for saying, quite subtly, that I’m sexually active? And that I would like to be more sexually active? I did not post a dick pic to 140,000 people. I did not demand some kind of entitled bullshit. I did not elaborate in graphic detail. I posted the letters D, T and F. In the tags no less.
Look. There is nothing wrong with sex. There is nothing wrong with wanting to have sex. There is nothing wrong with what goes on between consenting adults of any sex, gender, or anything else. And there is nothing wrong with putting the word out there that one is seeking something, especially when its as simple as three letters in a tag. It’s wrong to demand, harass, etc. It’s wrong to feel entitled. It’s wrong to shove unwanted imagery at unwitting readers. But how the hell are people supposed to find each other if they can’t say they’re looking? Especially on a damn blog where they stand a chance of actually finding someone with such a quiet and coded single phrase.
It’s the same in the real world. We play such complex games of wondering who wants us, of fearing telling the people we are interested in. How many chances have we all lost because of this absurd obfuscation? Human beings are capable of experiencing such phenomenal pleasure together. Why do we deny it at every level possible, even going so far as to write a blogger to tell him he’s gross for being a damn human being?
If those three benign letters offend you, feel free to unfollow. It is not necessary to send me hate mail, certainly not of the extremity and cruelty I’m receiving right now. And you sure as hell don’t need to tell me I’m a bad person for wanting to have sex. If nobody had sex, none of us would be here, and if none of us had sex for nonreproductive purposes, we’d have a lot more unnecessary boredom in the world. Sex is fun. Sex is good. Sex is okay and needn’t be so shameful.
My name is Ari. I’m 37, male, hetero, not all that ugly, I’m in California or Colorado, I am indeed “dtf,” and I am not ashamed of it.
AAAALLathis please all of it yes. Everything from soft cuddles to hardcore fist my ass daddy sex is healthy and a damn good natural source of antidepressants. Nokia connecting people ffs why are young people manipulated into being amish solitarians where human touch is shameworthy? Why are human bodies shameworthy? It’s like the Bible’s selfshamefetishisim just infiltrates so many people without them even having read the damn thing.
