When tumblr was bought by Yahoo back in 2013 the Yahoo execs swore that they wouldn’t fuck up the micro blogging platform. Fast forward to
2018 and they’ve continuously done exactly that. The appearance of more frequent ads and the changes in a handful of features had people upset, but they weren’t up in arms.
Now though? The fuckers at Verizon are in control and they just shot themselves in the foot while covering all the dicks and clits in censorship. Tumblr announced earlier this month that they were no longer going to be allowing any kind of nudity on the site. The language actually reads:
Starting Dec 17, adult content will not be allowed on Tumblr, regardless of how old you are…
Adult content primarily includes photos, videos, or GIFs that show real-life human genitals or female-presenting nipples, and any content—including photos, videos, GIFs and illustrations—that depicts sex acts.
K. So, I mean…what exactly are adults who don’t enjoy the musings of Taylor Swift going to do with a social media platform that was an adult content haven that suddenly did an about face. More importantly though, what in the fuck is with all of these large corporations censoring sex?
In November, Starbucks decided that no porno was allowed to be viewed on their wifi and in their shops. I’m not going to waste an entire post talking about how fucked up Starbucks is for also banning adult content…because it’s fucking exhausting to see these companies batter the adult industry further and further into the corners of society.
And also?
I don’t even like Starbucks. I make my own dirty chai at home with my french press and loose tea leaves. It’s way better and costs me like $.75. Go fuck yourself.
YouPorn banned Starbucks drinks in their offices after the Starbucks ban was announced. I’m going to jump on that bandwagon too…even though I may have consumed 4 beverages from the company in my entire life.
I stopped hanging out on tumblr when then marked my blog as explicit a few years ago. I went from gaining followers on the daily to zero notes on my posts in a two week period of time because they were marking my posts as inappropriate with some dumb filter. I wasn’t even posting my tits at that point, I was reblogging cute animal gifs and poetry. When I checked in on my tumblr account to see what the deal was with the new TOS, I discovered that every single post with the word lesbian in it had been flagged as explicit…like this one. Give a click to see the full image:
I mean…fuck you, tumblr. I deleted my account already, just like a whole lot of other people did. I can’t wait to see you crash and burn a la the myspace machine. And if they don’t, they’ll just become the next Christian mingle offshoot and we’ll all end up ignoring them anyway.
