Look, I know I’m not an NSFW blog, or am in any way affiliated with NSFW shit, but many people dabble in both on here, there are those who built a community based around something intrinsically lewd – – that doesn’t make it any less valid or significant. Tumblr states on their twitter bio: “where your interests connect with your people” – but that’s absolute bullshit when you ban something as normalized and okay as nudity and lewd art.
NSFW artists are still artists trying to make due, NSFW photographers, amateur or not, still should have a platform to share their stuff with a community.
Tumblr thinks that everything will become perfect and idealized once they remove the NSFW aspects from their site, but that’s not how forcibly removing content works – it doesn’t work, it pisses people off, it waters down the content on your site, and it destroys your already fragile reputation.
Tumblr never fucking listens, they refuse to listen, regardless of how much shit this site goes through, how much negativity it acquires, they make the worst decisions or no decision at all. They need to fucking learn, or they’ll lose something of value to many on here. They need to rethink their actions, and fast.
I’ll still be here, but catch me on twitter too. I now know the importance of expanding your following to more than one website.
