If they are going to do it, they might as well go the whole nine yards and censor everything adult.

Adult fanfic should count too, but... let us not give them any more ideas.

People have told them about the Pornbot and CP problem for years but tumblr staff is incompetant and they focused more on banning right wing blogs than actual illegal material.

So now in a hamfisted attempt to solve the problem they basically banned all nudity and employed bots that tag any image of human flesh or text post about the ban as suspicious. They've also recently added a text limit.

So that more than banning sexual content is going to ruin the platform and speed its already steady decline.

Ok, jokes aside, I'm not sure this will go well for tumblr, at least for now. Some of the 'audience' will leave. but it will help Tumblr get back on apple, and that will help on the long run. I mean, it's better than no Tumblr at all, right? Right...?

Tumblr made the mistake of pissing off fandom. Sure, not all of fandom is "adult" content, but there is quite a lot of it that is. Censorship and limitations on fandom expression are a real good way to get all of fandom up in arms both the adult and the gen segments, especially when that limitation is being so ham-fistedly applied as Tumblr's idiotic algorithm is. All the adult art blogs are going to leave, and I imagine a huge number of non-adult fan blogs will be departing in solidarity as well. Certainly sounds that way from the fandoms I follow, with the exodus to other platforms already well underway.

Tumblr may survive shooting themselves in the foot, in the same sort of way that LiveJournal "survived" the Strikeout exodus. It might still exist, but it's going to become pretty irrelevant pretty fast, especially if they don't fix their automated content flagging bot.

Went to look at some of the artists I follow today and found all the posts were now completely out of order.
Dunno what the goal of doing that is...

Edit: Wait, maybe that's just the several dozen sfw images that got flagged being removed

The less of that filth in circulation, the better we'll all be.

Its what happens when you separate addicts from their high. Pornography is a drug. It is not speech. It needs to be banned.
