Please don’t fucking log off tumblr on the 17th as a protest. All that’s going to do is give tumblr more reason to shut this place down because of revenue loss.

This is blatantly untrue
Companies do not experience one day of revenue loss and pull the plug, destroying years of work and firing dozens if not hundreds of employees.
Companies which experience loss in revenue and consumer interest make investments and changes in order to regain their users/customers. That’s why organized protests and boycotts WORK. Tumblr will NOT go down after one bad day or week, but they might be willing to listen to its userbase if we put up an organized protest. (If you don’t believe me, think about how long sites like MySpace and Google+ hang around with fractions of their previous user base, often for years.)
Yahoo paid over one billion dollars for Tumblr, and the website will not go offline because of a one-day event, so in conclusion,
DO log off on December 17th to show Tumblr that you disapprove of its recent content ban and clumsy execution of censorship.
Please reblog this version of the post to stop the spread of misinformation.
Op is just a tumblr corporate employee
tumblr flagged a post of a girl eating berries so fruit is for whores now reblog if youre a fruit eating whore

a couple thoughts on sticking around - because this might not kill sex work tumblr ENTIRELY
-as far as ive been made aware so far, tumblr is going to do this by specifically deleting nsfw CONTENT - not entire blogs. If that were the case, they’d be deleting an otherwise innocent user base for horny crimes committed before the tumblr law changed. therefore, we’ll still have at least a portion of our following.
- while we’re no longer able to post nudity or pornographic content, we can go the way of instagram and post clothed and censored adds for our content. i have no idea yet what could happen to users toeing that line, but it seems worth a shot to preserve at least a fraction of your sales, clients, etc.
-NOW IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TIME TO BE REBLOGGING SEX WORKER’S CONTENT
-since the nsfw tags have been purged, from here on out, most of our networking will be through reblogs, for those of us who decide to stick around. aside from supporting your favorite sex workers monetarily, the BEST thing you can do to support us is to continue our marketing by reblogging and spreading our content. this will continue to gain us more followers and potential sales.
things are definitely gonna be like. rough, on this site, from here on out. but tumblr is also the only site with a self sustaining trans sex worker user base, and the idea of losing that community is just ridiculously tragic. the lgbt sex workers on this site have built an incredible space for expression and creative content making, and nsfw content made for and by numerous marginalized groups. that’s just like.. not something im quite ready to let go of, y’all.
i genuinely feel like we as a community can still thrive, in spite of this.
controversial but in my many years as a minor on tumblr i’ve never seen a single sex worker. they always block minors, mark their blogs as nsfw, and don’t spam the popular sfw tags. even if you, as a minor, actually look for them, as long as you listed your age truthfully in the registration, you won’t be able to find them.
what i, instead, saw as a minor was:
porn bots (which could be stopped by: captcha, double confirmation for accounts, not allowing url shorteners, not allowing rebloggers to delete captions, i would even be ok with hyperlinks not being allowed in reblogs)
fetishes and kinksters (which could be stopped by: adding more tags to the nsfw filter, including fetishes/kinks that appear as sfw)
people who forget tag their shit (which could be stopped by: an auto-tagging system for sensitive tags that would work similarly to the current block for apparently nsfw posts, but can give the op the option to delete incorrect tags)
pro-ana, pro-mia, romanticization of self-harm (which could be stopped by: banning the whole tag, as it just happened)
nazi, terfs (just kick them out for hate speech like twitter does)
pro-map thankfully only appeared once i was already past 18 but of course you could just ban the whole community + tag as it just happened.
prevent usernames with words that hate and pedophilic groups use to flag from being chosen at blog creation.
while i know that tumblr is a 13+ website, nsfw content was hidden from minors last year. most cp was deleted + outlawed (both irl and drawn) for good not even last month. and while those are recent changes they did make tumblr, overall, 13+ appropriate.
i do not care much for porn, i just feel like they are solving the problem the wrong way and punishing a group of people who did nothing to harm minors. there were smarter solutions to this problem that were ignored in the favor of a very sloppy solution that doesn’t even cover stuff like sfw kink blogs, porn bots who don’t post pictures (most of them), people who just won’t tag their nsfw, hate groups and other non-sex related communities who are extremely dangerous for minors.
Before tumblr shutdown December 17th, anyone wanna admit they have a crush on me
Kink - guys who are dominant but also worship the fuck out of women. Pin me down, choke me, shove your fingers down my throat WHILE telling me how gorgeous I am. Most attractive thing ever to me.
🙏🏽 Please don’t delete your blogs 💕
They’re turning your explicit content private, yes. But they are not deleting your entire blog, everything else will be public. You can still support our work and post other content! We need you guys so please please please don’t delete your blogs as disheartening this all is.
