IM UPSET.

SO my blog was flagged NSFW? Are you fucking kidding? Stupid fucking yahoo and their family friendly shit fuck that. I can’t change it. I’m not even a porn blog I post mad random shit. Omg I’m so upset I don’t even wanna use this site anymore.

BS

This is quite a big attack on a lot of tumblr accounts that we have all loved and cherished. Not only is this going to cut down a lot of people from being able to expand their blogs, but intensely cut down a lot of freedom that we have on tumblr. God dam-it we should have the fuckin right to reblog and promote whatever we fucking please because without us tumblr’s there would be no fucking tumblr. For starters fuck yahoo and their bullshit decisions. To all those on tumblr, if you want tumblr to continue being the way it is, You NEED to read this you NEED to get angry and you NEED to let them hear your voice. No other way would create a change.  

Here’s some fact’s for you to all understand what the fuck is going on.

Fuck this shit reblog this and get the word out. This doesn’t just include adult blogs like porn, but if you were to post something political of what’s going on in the world that factors into this bullshit. Yahoo is attempting to create CENSORSHIP. Fuck this corporation. Reblog.

This needs more notes, get the word out guys and gals!

A petition has been started and needs around 8k more signatures in case you feel like voicing your opinion more than just talking on here.

I’ve not been flagged as an nsfw/adult blog since this is my personal and i’d rather it not be covered in inappropriate things since i know a lot of people aren’t down with that (and also since i have a blog specialized for this) but since i have a good amount of eyes that can see this post following me i figured i’d share with the petition. seriously though guys, this is a really dumb thing that’s happened and i really hate that they’re blocking the majority unwillingly that’s actually interested in seeing this stuff rather than making it an option for the minority of people to just not have to see it. not only does it block off information from those that have been flagged improperly (or those that TEACH YOU ABOUT HOW TO DO THE SEX SAFELY WITH TIPS AND SIMPLE GUIDES) but it makes it even harder to find artists and writers who don’t even know they’ve been flagged.

Please spread this like a wildfire guys, yahoo’s stubborn as all else, but the least we can do is to inform everyone!

Something no one has pointed out in this post that I’m trying to spread the word on as much as possible: Blogs flagged NSFW can still post in tags so that followers and people not browsing in “Safe Mode" can see. Blogs flagged Adult cannot post in tags at all, not even for followers or people not browsing in “Safe Mode".

If you have had your blog flagged (…I almost wrote ‘blag flogged’, I think I’m having a bit of aphasia from the sleep dep and migraine yesterday, whee) as Adult, you can often ask Tumblr to reclassify it to NSFW. 

It’s the Adult flag that’s the killer.

NOBODY can even opt in to see “adult" blogs in tags - not your followers, no one. There’s no “unsafe mode". If it seems like your art isn’t getting seen or you’ve been losing a lot of followers lately, look at your settings and check whether this has happened to you.

please read the reply above me guys

A lot of stuff ticks me off about this.

1. Yahoos censorship. Who do they think they are to censor a site that is so free and open as Tumblr. That’s just not right

2. NSFW artists are having their work censored and made unavailable for anyone to view. Worse if they’re flagged as adult. You’re lying if you say you don’t enjoy nsfw fanart.

3. The fact that the petition states that porn is bad. How exactly is it bad? Everyone and I mean EVERYONE has seen porn at some point in their life. It’s normal human nature. Is society really that close minded nowadays? wait, don’t answer that.

4. Now I’m not 100% on this one, but if you post political or current events that might get you censored too?

You guys, I give you society and censorship

I would like to put my two cents in.

It seems like Tumblr/Yahoo! is trying to block and censor the NSFW content for the people who don’t want to see it, but the thing is that the Tumblr community can already do that for themselves. They can pick what blogs they see, they can pick what tags they search, and hell, on top of that they can get extensions to hide the NSFW content.

Tumblr/Yahoo is attempting to do something that we can already do for ourselves and they’re doing it poorly. We are not a site directed towards children, we are a site for teenagers and adults and we are able to think for ourselves and choose whether or not we wish to view this content by ourselves and they are taking that ability to choose away from us.

And we are intelligent enough to know whether or not our blog is NSFW, so we know how to flag ourselves. Please, we don’t need anyone to do this for us. 

I think the best fix for this to keep people happy would be to make an option in the settings to opt-in to see blogs flagged as adult.

The thing that bothers me about this is that the people who run NSFW blogs are very open about it, either in their URL or blog description. Meaning we’re already censoring ourselves. Yahoo stepping in is just like when your over-protective parent comes in and removes all chances for you to make your own choices. It doesn’t end well, and It’s not fair to the users.

Another issue I have with this  is the fact they’re trying to make it ‘family friendly’…?

Tumblr has it in it’s Terms Of Service that you must be at least 13 to use Tumblr. Sure, people lie about that stuff all the time and you really can’t stop them but 13 year olds nowadays are not shocked by things like cuss words, dicks and naked people.

Tumblr is not meant to be for those under 13 so why the sweet ever loving fuck is Yahoo trying to make it like that? They’re practically violating it’s/their own TOS!

3. Use of the Services

Eligibility:

No individual under the age of thirteen (13) may use the Services or provide any information to Tumblr or otherwise through the Services (including, for example, a name, address, telephone number, or email address). You otherwise may only use the Services if you can form a binding contract with Tumblr and are not legally prohibited from using the Services.

You have to be at least 13 years old to use Tumblr. We’re serious: it’s a hard rule, based on U.S. federal and state legislation, even if you’re 12.9 years old. If you’re younger than 13, don’t use Tumblr. Ask your parents for an Xbox or try books.

YOU DUN GOOFED YAHOO

This is pissing me off so much. And it’s making me scared because tumblr is an outlet for me and I don’t want some Yahoo bozo taking that away. I am 24 years old and suddenly they are stepping in on my freedom because *gasp* I might’ve reblogged a boob or two, or fan art. Not to mention I am very afraid that this is going to mean censorship of anything lgbtq..
I already make sure my followers don’t see anything that might make them uncomfortable MYSELF. Some are asexual or just aren’t into that kinda thing and I make sure I tag it right. If I miss-tag something accidentally feel free to say it.
STOP BABYING ME YAHOO

Dammit Yahoo! you ruined my daily basis of sarcasm, LGBTQ, men with nipple piercings and naked ladies ;__;
