Mature lesbian absolutely frustrated by the puritanical Tumblr staff
If you're under 18, do not enter, at least until December 17th. Afterward it will not matter . I don't own any of the images on this blog. If I've uploaded a picture that is rightfully yours, tell me and I will remove it... or maybe not. Who cares anymore
Update 10th December 2018
Please read (yep, all of it, it really is important)
As our site has grown immensely in this past week, today we have put our attention into legal matters (simply said, making sure that we comply with every possible law that is required) today.
While pretty much everything needed is already in our TOS, the recently signed SESTA and FOSTA (If you want more information about them, just google up Sesta and Fosta) has forced many huge sites to go mental with their censorship (recent Facebook’s censorship changes, Tumblr’s complete takedown of adult material, Twitter’s extremely ban happy policy towards accounts containing adult material etc).
Reason for this is that these two laws in question are EXTREMELY confusing and seem to do more harm than actual good. For websites and platforms it’s easier to just deny than to allow and possibly risk some serious consequences because of it.
Before these two laws came into action, website and it’s owner(s) were not liable from the user’s actions on their site.
These laws have completely changed things. Let us give you an example:
Someone registers to our site and advertises sexual services he/she is selling. Back in the day we could have just remove that comment in case we would not have noticed it but were by authorities.
Now, we are just as guilty as they would be no matter did we know about that content on our site or not. We were just recently aware of these laws and the possible problems they cause.
Now what are we going to do about it you ask?
First of all, we are here to stay.
We simply have to filter out, monitor and make sure that NO SUCH CONTENT exists on our site, no matter what. This isn’t ideal and this is restrictive for freedom of speech as we have to put certain filters on place which could cause false positives, but we really don’t have a choice if we are here to stay in long term.
So, today we are going to pause everything else we’ve been working on and get this done immediately to ensure the future for our platform, we can’t press how hugely important this is and it can’t wait.
We will also create an easy reporting system which will allow users to report posts directly from the post itself if they suspect that material posted on the site should not be here.
So, extremely important:
- DO NOT OFFER ANY KIND OF ESCORT, MASSAGE OR ANY OTHER KIND OF PAID SERVICES
- Do NOT post material which is mentioned in our Terms of service under any circumstances.
Thank you for reading!
EDIT: To clarify. We are NOT shutting down. Adult and porn content is of course welcomed just like it right now :). Just keep it on material which does not break any laws and do not offer services escort, any paid services of any kind) and everything’s well!

Warning to all ADULT, NSFW, PORN, BLOGS !!!
On Dec 17th, Tumblr is shutting down ALL Adult, NSFW blogs. To get ahead of this, I have created a profile on (the app) MeWe, its very close to like tumblr. Go and check out my new page and dont get left in the dark.
The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.
To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.
On the 17th, dead silence.
People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.
But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.
What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’
A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.
If you want to join in, here’s what to do:
Do:
Don’t:
Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.
Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.
PLEASE PARTICIPATE THIS NEEDS TO BE BIG SO WE NEED TO FOLLOW THROUGH!
Doing this. Who else is in?
I’m in!
fetishizing real people (youtubers, actors, artists, etc.) is rly not okay and you shouldn’t be projecting them into your kinks. it doesn’t matter if it’s a sexual thing or not, it’s still wrong and you’re treating them like they’re a fictional character.
Oh please!
You must work with the Tumblr staff
I will objectivize who I want. Quit preaching
