Why Tumblr Banning Adult Content Is a Serious Problem | Nerdist

Since I’ve seen quite a bit of discourse that basically amounts to “this is to get rid of the cp so it’s wrong to be angry” I think it should be pointed out that this is a lot more complex than people just not being able to nut on tumblr anymore.

It’s not that we want the cp to stay, it’s that we want tumblr to actually put in the work to moderate their fucking site so that they can get rid of cp and the bots (and nazis but this new ban won’t even effect them lol) without fucking over artists and sex workers who make their livelihood from this site, as well as women and queer folk for whom this site has been a crucial safe space for self expression.

It’s pretty disingenuous to act like this was the only way to eradicate cp from this site, and also to act like staff gives a shit about anything other than getting their app back on the store
