Tumblr used to be a platform that provided a space for people to connect with other likeminded people. From recipes to writing, to activism to erotica, the site was interesting and despite having the occasional issues with people who do not know how to behave when they're behind a keyboard (as opposed to face to face), the site was a good place to pursue interests, engage in open discussion in a non-judgemental way and meet people, even if virtually. Due to Tumblr's poor management skills, porn bots inflitrated the site and this led to more complex issues linked to child pornography content. However, instead of addressing the issue with the support of the user community, which had actually raised this to the point of exhaustion, Tumblr decided to implement an adult content ban where they have censored people and implemented sexist, racist giudelines. For example, the guidelines refers explicitly to "female presenting nipples" and also several searches for "black" appear not to give any finds. Conversely, white supremacy blogs still appear on the site. An important point is that this ban has also had a negative impact on artists and sex workers, who used the platform to promote their work and built and maintain a client and fan-base. Ultimately, Tumblr appears a company that claims to allow people to "Be Yourself" and "Express Yourself". It is clear from this decision and the lack of both consultation and user involvement, that those statements are simply paying lip service to a lie.
Tumblr is a site that completely censors artists and writers but allows admitted pedophiles to encourage other pedophiles and groom kids and people to promote hate crimes. Nothing is done about this but they will immediately censor anything that looks like female skin.
I have been a user on Tumblr for around six years now. I have used it as a blogging platform, a place to share my art, my writing and to speak with other fans of similar movies, music and books and to exchange information. Since the company was purchased by Yahoo, it has begun to decline and right wing, and nazi propoganda run rampant and unchecked throughout the site making it difficult to operate as I once did without coming upon what I consider offensive blogs. To combat a sudden onset of pornographic related blogs, and to save itself from being pulled from the apple store, Tumblr hastily imposed a sudden NSFW ban which banned all photographic of sex, and nudity. But bizarrely specified 'female presenting nipples' which I found borderline transphobic.As tumblr is considered a safe haven for those experimenting with their own bodies, and explording gender and sexuality freely without judgement or control, its a sad day that these blogs are being purged, but even worse, my own blog, which is decidedly not NSFW (it's devoted to writing for goodness sake!), was incorrectly marked as NSFW and was blocked from being viewed! After submitting an appeal I was greeted back with a rather immature '<3 tumblr' message which told me it was being looked into. I have since gained back control of my blog, but sadly many friends have not had their blogs (which are very SFW) unblocked.All of this for profit. Its a disgrace!
