Why are they doing this? Lol half the traffic on their site was probably for porn. So stupid

Corporate meddling by Yahoo their owners, advertisers, and radical feminists.

I'm not parroting rhetoric here, that is literally tree main causes. I was there for many years. Oh well. All empires decay and fall.

Please also keep in mind that because of advertisers, 4chan is splitting in two sites as well, one for regular discussion and one for NSFW (including political, take a guess). This is momentous and the Internet is changing.

“It's hilarious how they’ll ban anything even remotely adult, given it's part of what made their platform initially popular, but they can't handle actual hate speech, the pearl clutching 'think of the children' crusaders who attack anyone they deem 'wrong', or Nazi bullshit,” Abigail Sin, who uses Tumblr for NSFW fandom blogs as well as her own sex work, told Motherboard in a Twitter message. “By hilarious I mean ridiculous. There are fan artists who stopped creating because of the shit they've been put through there—everything from rape threats and death threats to character assassination.” Sin told Motherboard that she plans to shut down and try to find a new platform for her content.

A part in an article I found - the projection is so thick it could post pictures on this site.

If tumblr just collapses, I shall shed no tears. The app was slow and buggy anyway.

If tumblr deserves any thanks at all, it sometimes had cool aesthetic blogs and interesting diamonds in the rough (who weren't brainwashed), and I must praise it fir inspiring the REACTION against its insanity.

Please let the ship keep sinking, though one wonders where the rats shall hop to next.

Robert Yang, a game designer who created a game with a plot about leaked dick pics, told Motherboard in a Twitter message that Tumblr turning on Safe Mode was a turning point for his work—and now that the platform is banning it altogether, it’s not clear what will happen to these kinds of works.

“It's kind of sad, because when I was evaluating different platforms to use for this, Tumblr was basically the only one that seemed big enough / with an art-oriented community / with a decent API / that would stand the test of time,” Yang said. “As someone who makes computer-based art, I worry a lot about preservation, and it kinda makes me wonder how much art and culture is getting destroyed here. Erotic art and sexuality is especially over-policed by platforms, by credit card companies, by fucked up laws like FOSTA.”




 

Oh the humanity, alas! What cultural treasures have now been crushed under the boot of censorship! This is worse than the burning of the Library of Alexandria! What shall we do without Mr. Yang's hard-hitting interactive visual masterpiece of digital penises? O tempora, o mores!

They flagged pics of Cherries in a bikini, and even fully clothed pics showing belly.  

All the Nazi propaganda is still up though so they're ok with genocide but not anyone getting aroused.

Fucking third wave feminazi's!

They are hiding behind the few instances of child porn as a justification for banning everything that may get you off.   It stems from a bill signed by Trump which gives the government leverage over websites.  It has very little to do with feminists.

Feminists are mostly upset about this. Tumblr is the place feminists went for NSFW content, a lot of which was generated by feminists.

Anyhow, I'm expecting mass migration. Not sure where everything will settle, but it may take a little time to regrow.

Also, feminazis are soo second-wave. We're in the fourth-wave now.

Oh please, not everything is Trump's fault. He doesn't give a rat's ass about women's nipples on Tumblr. I mean come on, with his rep and past with the ladies? Seriously??

Tumblr is now owned by a giant corporation called Yahoo. It's about money - these things are always about money.  Money out vs. money in. Money in? Like none - nobody pays for anything on Tumblr and since they bought it, Yahoo has yet to figure out how to monetize their purchase. In fact, they are on record saying they vastly overpaid for it. Money out? Vulnerable to lawsuits and in this case, lost potential huge market cuz of their tiff with Apple and the app's removal from the App Store. Apple said basically if they clean up their world they can come back. After risk/reward analysis Yahoo decided this move was in their best interest.

And who do you think is pressuring Apple and Yahoo?  This is about money AND power...conservative power.  Trump signed the bill, this bill gives leverage to the government over websites.  Conservative bible thumpers don't like porn, especially LGBTQ and fetishistic porn, you know, what we are all on here for.  Trump is just an idiotic patsy who will sign whatever the GOP puts on his desk.

How? Republicans put this bill on Trumps desk and now sites are being targeted. It happened on youtube, craigslist and others.  The also had a hard-on about net neutrality and I guarantee you porn sites will start to run slower cause of it. 

You aren't thinking big picture, wait until they come for sites like Curvage.  

I don't hate conservatives or anything I'm just calling it like I see it.  This shit didn't happen under Obama...ask yourself why.
