so that post about how you can get around the bot by tagging things “#sfw”? uhhhhh it’s TRUE.
i did a little test in my drafts:
i am losing my goddamn mind like how is it possible to be this stupid
Fucking hell?!?!!??
The Vox article that I was interviewed for is up and running, and it contains some serious fuckign information about this whole fiasco.
Information that tumblr just straight up refused to provide to its userbase at all.
Unsurprisingly to those of us watching this website deteriorate over the last year, this full content purge and ban has been in progress for a solid 6 months. The date got moved up because of the child porn thing, but it was always coming for us.
Equally unsurprising: Tumblr’s management and ownership are absolutely destroying the actual staff working on it. The company has been hemoragghing senior staff without so much as a token attempt to keep them in place. So the drops in site quality are real, and wil probably only be getting worse.
Truly astonishing is the fact that apparently this crap was supposed to “double” the userbase by the end of next year. Boy, howdy, that’s not gonna work out well for them.

good luck with your plan to sell ads targeting a user base that doesn’t exist any more, @staff.
This has all been done in such a tragically stupid fashion. And it makes it worse that they actually planned it for six months before initiating it.
The Vox piece doesn’t even really portray the extent of the devastation. They’ve broken this website for ALL of their users.
but… not to sound paranoid but did anyone consider that since their (ridiculous) anticipated results aren’t there and by now they probably get that they never will be, they actually might /want/ it to die so they can get rid of it? because this witch hunt would for sure be the quickest way to accomplish that
Reblog to show your support for NSFW Artists, who deserve better than having their art censored/removed because of a badly thoughtout idea

ok so our titty choices are now: cubism, jpeg, manga, and Picasso’s Blue Period
O’ Tumblr (a parody of Hellfire) Sung by Codot
Lyrics: Community Guidelines, you know I am a righteous man, of my content I am justly proud, Community Guidelines, you know I’m so much purer than, the filthy child porn producing crowd.
Then tell me, O Tumblr, why the whole of us must pay, Why the porno bots can’t be controlled? I see them, I block them, their posts no longer linger there, So why are we the ones that you must scold?
O Tumblr! Damn Tumblr! The Tumblr that had been, Would never allow this! Why purge my harmless sin?
It’s not our fault! We’re not to blame! It is the Russian bots and monsters who should pay! It’s not our fault! You made a plan! Where women’s nipples are more hunted than the Klan!
Protect us, O Tumblr, Don’t just become an Apple drone, Don’t let monopoly control your mind.
Don’t punish creators, Or we will find another home, Where we come first and aren’t left behind.
GUARD: Waiting4Codot, your post has been flagged. CODOT: What? GUARD: The puppies were mistakes for female-presenting nipples. CODOT: But how? Nevermind. Get out you idiot. I’ll find a better website if I have to burn down all the internet.
Oh Tumblr! Damn’d Tumblr! Now staff the time has come, Choose us the creators, or see your site undone.
Please just reconsider, Staff have mercy on me, Let Tumblr be ours or it will burn!
And yes, I know that, as a voice actor, I won’t be IMMEDIATELY affected, but a LOT of my friends will be, and that frustrates me. Also, it’s only a matter of time before someone makes a horrendous audio post and (given their current behaviour) they wouldn’t even police audio; they’d just get rid of it.
Numbered days, folks.
tumblr flagged a post of a girl eating berries so fruit is for whores now reblog if youre a fruit eating whore
