Just. Don’t post legit actual porn. That’s all.
…I mean, this is bad for sex workers, we know this, yes?
@eroticcannibal there’s no way I’m not right about that, right?
This is bad for anyone who makes a living off visual NSFW content, so yes, sex workers, and some also artists. With how tumblr works, it’s a great platform for growing an audience, and up to now with it being …. relitively friendly to NSFW, it has been a valuable site for gaining an audience.
Also, I don’t doubt others will get caught up in report abuse, given how tumblr has so far handled that, so expect to see all kinds of nudity, porn or not, being scrubbed, especially if it depicts marginalised groups.
People who will be fucked over by this:
- sex-workers who were using their Tumblr blogs to post adult content of themselves, establish a user-base by relying on Tumblr’s large volume of traffic, then linking to private cam-shows or other premium features, in order to earn a livelihood;
- NSFW artists / fan-artists, who were relying on Tumblr’s large volume of traffic and ability to make posts go viral, in order to earn a livelihood through commissions of adult art;
- less severe than the above two cases, but still serious for the site itself, given how many people are going to be looking for alternatives – pretty much any user who enjoyed having a porn-blog as a side-blog or main blog, as a curated collection of adult content they enjoyed.
Don’t even get me started on the fact that I don’t trust these bloody jackwagons to keep NSFW writing ‘acceptable’ for very long either. That’s how it usually goes – the visual porn gets booted off first (with LGBTQ+ adult content being the first hit), but it doesn’t take long for the writing to end up in the crosshairs as well, particularly if there are enough semi-feral neo-puritans out there reporting it.
