Naturally, @staff managed to contradict themselves within the same goddamn statement.
So are nude drawings allowed on tumblr or not???
I think what they might very badly be trying to say is: illustrations of nudity yes, illustations of sex no? Idk. That whole thing is so awkwardly worded and who else noticed that there’s a missing word (”be”) in the very first sentence?
im not gonna like stop using this site or anything but i can pretty confidently say this is one of the dumbest moves ive seen a site make in a while. instead of fixing the actual problems with their website ie pornbots on every fucking post, actual pedophiles, theyre just going to ban everything horny which most likely isnt going to solve those problems and is going to hurt lots of sex workers and artists as well as drive people off the site
Do you think the “nudity in art, such as sculptures and illustrations” part possibly covers also erotic fanart/drawings, or just, idk, classical illustrations of naked deities and the like?
in my opinion, going off past experience with this kind of thing:
in theory, this will be like DevArt’s policies about n sfw adult content I imagine: ‘tasteful nudes’ that be counted as ‘artistic’ are okay, but Doing the Do will not be okay. educational content about sexy stuff will be okay, but visual aids will not be okay.
in practice:
images of naked (cis white) women will be okay, but everything else will get a banhammer.
same sex romantic content will be far more likely to be removed than anything interpreted to be opposite sex romantic content.
images of transgender bodies will be far more likely to be removed than images of cisgender bodies.
educational content about sex will get removed just as often as any other content about sex no matter what the context
content of any rating about LGBTQIAPN+/queer relationships will be treated as sexually explicit. content about straight relationships will not.
content of any rating about transgender/nonbinary/genderqueerness physiological changes/feelings and/or experiences will be treated as sexually explicit.
informational content about uterus/vagina/ovary reproductive systems will be treated as sexually explicit, as will anything about sexual development & awareness during puberty – particularly if related to non-straight/non-cismale feelings
people between the ages of 13 and 17 will not be allowed to talk about their own experiences irt sexual feelings, etc because all content that acknowledges minors can experiences sexual desire or interests will be treated as cp. (reminder that just b/c minors can experience these feelings doesn’t mean they can consent to sex, especially with an adult.)
100% black & white treatment of potentially sexual content ensues. any attempt to elucidate the differences between adult n sfw content vs cp vs fictional depictions of csa vs l0li vs darkfic mentions of sexual abuse vs noncon vs rape fantasy vs …. you get the point … will be removed.
tl;dr: when a platform as big as tumblr says ‘no n sfw’, it inevitably enforces existing sociopolitical boundaries on what’s okay and not okay – which means the LGBT+/queer community, women (trans, cis, or otherwise), and young people suffer the most.
Should artists back up their nsfw works and move them somewhere else asap, if they haven’t done that already?
not to sound sex-positive but what on earth is a female presenting nipple
Mmmm I don’t wanna loose contact with people, even if we don’t share fandoms anymore. I’m gonna try my best with twitter ok? And next is going to be pillowfort too I guess.
🌴 With the new Tumblr policy I can’t guarantee I’ll be staying here on this hellsite (and I can’t guarantee either that Tumblr itself won’t block my blog for my fanart, even though there’s nothing too “raunchy”, tbh). I was just getting near 800 followers on this blog and tbh, these news are kinda upsetting. So please! if you want to keep following my art, the links to all my other social media are down below! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
I’ll proceed to post on my other accounts the remaining fanarts that are here on my blog and just… study the situation to see if there’ll be alternatives and what most of the fandoms and users will get to (like I’m hearing, Pillowfort seems a good enough alternative). Anyway I’ll keep you all updated! Again, please if you can, follow me on my other accounts. Thank you so much for sticking! 👌🏽💖
sharing this here too ofc. at the moment my only public “personal” social media is this blog here on tumblr. don’t know if I’ll create another personal account somewhere to share things I like (very likely not), but anyway, for my art the links are up here!
My father has a lot of negative sides but just now on Skype he tried to make the heart shape pose with his hands to cheer me up even if he’s missing a finger.
