Yes indeed no nudity but you can find all the discriminatory and hate speech you want!
But wait, the icing on the cake…
…really? Do i need even say anything.
since this place is going down the shitter, why not reblog this?
Here’s an extra layer of gross
I may be wearing a tin foil hat, but I think they purposely want to do stuff like pit BLM against White Supremacists. They see it as an opportunity to make money.
‘Hate and Strife Are Key Target Demographics’, basically.
this whole thing, read it
“Porn on Tumblr is something Verizon needs to wipe out if it’s going to make any money off what it thinks is actually valuable about the platform — enormous fandom and social justice communities that, just before the Verizon acquisition, Khalaf was insisting the staff figure out how to better monetize.“
setting aside the idea of monetizing the social justice community (since capitalism commodifies everything, see: the kendall jenner pepsi ad):
if we ever needed proof that corporations neither know nor care about fandom other than how it makes them money, “let’s grow the fandom audience by killing off porny fanart (and falsely flagging any art or gif with a skin tone in it)” is fucking asinine
I am interested in where the community for sharing nude or adult photos, GIFs and writings is going to end up – now that nude content is not welcome on Tumblr after December 17th, 2018.
My friend is a software developer who made the excellent Gridllr.com tool which I’ve been using myself recently to view and reblog from my huge selection of about 7000 personal likes.
Gridllr.com also lets you download the images from your likes – hopefully that feature will be extended in the next days, as I can see a lot of people wanting to use it!
I am discussing with my friend how hard it would be quickly to create a complete Tumblr Alternative site where nudity and adult content will always be allowed.
If you are a community member interested in this possibility, please Follow me and also comment / Like / Reblog this post. I’ll blog an update in the next few days saying where we have got to. If you don’t Follow me, you probably won’t see the update!
We are aware of the devastating impact of Tumblr’s new “Community guidelines” for a large part of the Tumblr community.
We are now rapidly looking at what steps we can take to:
* help the community retain access to current blog content and Likes
* create an alternative home for safe, equal and non-judgmental posting of all legal content, built on free speech principles.
For now, we recommend that users download to their own PC any content which they want to be sure of preserving. Gridllr.com can be used to help download photos and GIFs (but not video or audio, sorry). For photos and GIFs, the download button automatically gives you the largest image size available.
Pro Tip: For fastest downloading on a Windows PC, right-click the download button and select “Save Link As…” (Firefox / Chrome), and save immediately to disk. This download button gives you the largest size available from Tumblr – it is not limited to the current size seen on the grid screen.
This weekend (8-9 December) we will update with more information about what Gridllr plans to do to help the community after 17 December.
Some good news, I’ve been talking to two developers now and got them working together, we just had a meeting with the guys behind an existing large (millions of users) site similar to Tumblr, with a vibrant and open-minded community, and more importantly, it has open-minded owners who believe in free speech. They think we can get something done here to rescue the whole community.
I’m not allowed to reveal the site name yet. I can tell you it’s mainstream, open to everyone, open-minded and welcoming. (It’s not WordPress or any site owned by Facebook or Twitter. It’s not Pillowfort, that’s in closed beta. It’s not Ello, that’s mainly for artists. It’s not kinkspace or fetlife, those are too specialist. It’s not jux, that seems to be closed. It’s not Soup, that seems still in development and too small.)
One of the reasons for delaying the announcement for next few days is they don’t want a “land grab” where people take the names of current popular Tumblr users over there (cyber squatting). So they are looking at ways for existing Tumblr users to keep the same names on the new site.
More info over the days to come.
The plan is, broadly:
1. By December 9th, announcement of the new site and how to secure your username there
2. By December 10th, an online tool for bloggers to copy their existing content to the new site automatically, with the same tags and captions.
3. Bloggers will need to copy their content across between December 10th and December 17th if they want to use the automatic tool.
4. My understanding is that after December 17th there will be no public access to any “flagged” posts on Tumblr, but the original poster will still be able to see the flagged post (for a short time at least). Therefore, the original poster may still be able to manually download a post to their own PC or phone, after December 17th, and manually upload it to the other site. But if you have lots of posts that will take a long time, it will be better to use the automatic tool before December 17th.
Please understand that these dates are approximate and may change for technical or other reasons.
There may be a few rough edges or not so perfect looking site design on the transfer tool. Everyone is doing their best. The main goal here is to help as many people as possible preserve access to their content, in the short space of time Tumblr has allowed us, and preserve as much as possible of the Tumblr community spirit somewhere new.
The new site will cater for photo, GIF, text and html posts. It will not offer video and audio posts, due to cost reasons – maybe in future, but for now you will need to preserve video and audio content yourself in some other place.
If your Tumblr blog has a mixture of original content and reblogs, or all reblogs, all of that can be copied over to the new site. Reblogs will become “your” original content if nobody else posted them yet, otherwise they will be shown as reblogs. The devs are looking at ways to preserve attribution of reblogs back to the original Tumblr poster, if that person also moves to the new site.
Important: your Likes cannot be copied from Tumblr to the new site. You will have to go find the same posts again on the new site, and like them afresh.
(Similarly, existing reblog comments, asks, messages and other user interaction on Tumblr cannot be copied to the new site – that’s just too much to do, in the short time available.)
If you want to preserve any of your existing Liked posts on Tumblr, you will need to either: (1) download the post to your own PC, or: (2A) reblog it now to your own Tumblr blog, and then (2B) use the automatic tool, before December 17th, to move your whole Tumblr blog across to the new site.
If you have Liked a lot of posts here on Tumblr, the gridllr.com webapp should be able to help you do steps 1 and 2A quickly, I mean download or reblog.
(Someone complained to me today about the appearance of Gridllr on a phone. It’s best to use Gridllr on a PC, Mac or Tablet with a large screen.)
If you have liked a post here on Tumblr and the original poster decides to delete it, or even to delete their entire blog, some time before December 17th, then that post will be permanently lost. So if you want to be sure to preserve any of your Liked posts, you should best download or reblog as soon as possible. If it’s reblogged to your own blog it is safe from deletion, at least for next few days.
Obviously, you will lose access, after December 17th, to all past posts you have liked, if Tumblr has flagged them as NSFW. Again, the steps (1), or (2A) and (2B) covered above will be the only way to hold on to these posts.
I am wondering if any of my blog remains not deleted. It was great time knowing you all, you were the best friends I had. Tumblr is gonna be dead soon
Just came back for a sec to say I have an AO3 account with the same username. I will put everything on this blog on that AO3 account after this quarter ends.
Also, I will be deleting the gifs from the stories on here but they will be up on the ao3 account CAUSE FUCK TUMBLR.
Also on wattpad with the same username.
I already went through and deleted the gifs on mine, This is such a sad day. I will miss our gif wars on here @221bshrlocked As I also have an ao3 we will have to do something on there sometime, just to have a rekindle of our fave wars in text form T___T
Part of the blame for this bullshit is the minors that actively broke the fucking rules and refused to listen to responsible 18+/NSFW/porn blogs who warned them off our pages, blocked them and said go the fuck away until you’re legal.
But they refused to listen. They were so mature for their ages. We warned them. We told them this could be a possible outcome. Yet, they refused to listen.
Some may see this as victim-blaming, which it is not. I’m NOT talking about the truly innocent minors who have no interaction with adult blogs. I’m talking about the ones who continued to go places they’d been warned off of BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL.
The thing about how women in comics used to be drawn and sometimes are still drawn, you can only really understand the difference between an action girl being forced into unrealistic sexual, sensual positions, and an actual strong and well posed, empowering but still sexy female character, when you see what it looks like to have male characters depicted in overtly sensual poses
And I’m not talking about the Hawkeye Initiative or any given parody
I actually want to draw a comparison using art by Kevin Wada
Kevin Wada is a proud part of the LGBTQ+ community and he has this unique ability to sexualize mainstream male heroes without it looking like a parody. He draws covers for multiple big comic companies and his style reminiscent of old fashion magazines, drawn largely in traditional watercolor, has made him a stalwart of the industry.
He also draws a lot of naked Bucky Barnes.
Anyway, I want to talk about how interesting his art is, the difference between his power poses and his sexy poses for male and female characters.
A typical power pose for a male comics character would look like this
Whereas every so often with female heroes you get something like this
Not all the time, of course, but it happens and it happens in the wrong places. You wouldn’t be posing like a cover model in the middle of a battle, you really wouldn’t.
But when it comes to Wada and male and female characters, the difference is pretty clear.
When he draws male characters, they more often look like this
Sensual, in a pose you wouldn’t usually see a big, muscular hero doing. If not that, then playful, sexy, for looking at, but nothing about their anatomy overly exaggerated
How he draws women is also very clearly different from many other artists, from sexy pose to power pose.
Still posing for the camera, still to be looked at, but very, very different from how we’ve seen female characters portrayed in mainstream comics in the past.
And I guess it’s really just a matter of variety? Objectification in art is a long time debate and appears everywhere always, but for all that we can argue about its impact on popular media, there are a few things I know for sure:
1) having a female character pose like a playboy cover girl in the middle of a battle scene is just Bad Art and y’all need to find better references
2) female power poses will never look quite as right as when they’re drawn by people who know the value of expressing personality through pose (it’s basic animation principles and some artists still need to learn it) and who actually know what a female character’s personality beyond “sexy”
3) Iron Man or Batman posing like they’re about to beat somebody up is 100% not the same as a fashion drawing by Kevin Wada where a Typical Beefy Action Guy gets to pose like a flirty pretty boy
4) the MCU films have figured out the value of pandering to female audiences by sexually objectifying all their male action heroes while simultaneously appealing to the male demographic’s action movie power fantasy. Quoting Chris Hemsworth and Taika Waititi: “I’m not a piece of meat” “Uh, yes you are.”
They definitely struck some kind of balance there.
Also, more important than this entire post: y’all should follow @kevinwada on Tumblr and give him love because his art is divine and his talent beyond words
