When did freedom of expression suddenly become an online crime? When did an attack on a specific subset of any group ever work to the benefit of any institution?
In this bloggers humble opinion, Tumblr’s December 17th forced genocide of Adult Content blogs is just another example of how our society is slipping backwards in its level of tolerance towards anything that is different, preferring to have this type of content hidden away, and marked with a scarlet letter of intolerance and shame.
Are there issues revolving around certain types of blogs Yes. Child pornography and other unacceptably content is abhorrent to all. Is Tumblr going after those specific types of blogs? No. Are they setting up a system that blocks minors from accessing adult content blogs? No. They are preferring to follow a simplistic “nuke it all” approach rather than address the overall problem. Taking a M.A.D (mutually assured destruction) approach, can only end in one way, for without adult content, Tumblr will die off.
So my friends and followers(93k amazing individuals), I challenge you to reblog this note, and challenge Tumblr’s decision. Perhaps, if enough of us stand up and protest some good will come of it. Resist, and fight the good, and honourable, fight.
Tumblr wants to take away all adult content on the platform, abandoning a large majority of it’s userbase which uses the site for this exact matter. Please sign the above petition if you would like to keep tumblr the way it is. They need to be shown that they will lose a HUGE amount of their traffic if they’re too carry this through.
We all have seen the Tumblr communicate about forbidding nsfw blogs or those which have “adult” posts.
They think it won’t cause them any harm, but we are a really big part of the community. Let’s act and tell the staff that tumblr will slowly die after taking this decision. Follow these steps:
First of all, REBLOG THIS POST, so any NSFW blog can post and see it.
Give tumblr the worst mark at the App Store or Play Store
Write a negative comment about how they’re banning accounts and censoring the freedom of expression.
Purpose as a comment below a new site to move as a NSFW community.
If you do this before the 17 of December, we can change this decision. Let’s make the staff hear us. Make tumblr great again, a free place for free minds and free content!!
Personally, I enjoyed every single moment here at tumblr, and I appreciate everyone of my followers and blogs that I follow. If they delete my account… It was a pleasure to know you all. But we can still change this!!!
Pedí
mi entrada sintiendo el calor del rubor en las mejillas. El hombre de
la taquilla me la despachó con un desinterés total. Ni siquiera un
pelo de su bigote se movió.

Sala dos, al final a la derecha.
No
había nadie en la puerta para pedírmela. Titubeé tentada de darme
la vuelta y marcharme por donde había venido, pero, armándome de
valor, seguí adelante. Abrí la pesada puerta, aparté los
cortinones. Mis ojos tardaron un momento en adaptarse a la penumbra.
En la pantalla, una muchacha rubia de tetas de silicona le hacía una
mamada en primer plano a un muchacho latino de rasgos sensuales. La
cámara enfocaba alternativamente la polla y la cara del muchacho,
que exageraba el gesto de placer mientras se escuchaba una sucesión
de gemidos mecánicos que parecían de otra escena.
Hacía mucho que no leía nada tuyo… como siempre un cuento superexcitante. Me encanta… No se lo voy a enviar a mis amigas… no están preparadas aún para estos gustos…
Haunting Landscape Photography Inspired by the Brothers Grimm Fairytales by Kilian Schönberger
German photographer Kilian Schönberger is deeply inspired by the exquisite and gruesome Brothers Grimm’s fairytales. Stunning and haunting, the images are brooding, atmospheric, which instantly transport you to a fantasy world, where the woods seem spookier, darker and far more enchanting than on Earth. Although Schönberger is colorblind, he understands that the composition and geometry of an image convey its mood and beauty.
