I get that he was distraught, but wishing he was never born was still pretty selfish and fucked up, considering his kids would never have been born either. I never liked the movie, but couldn’t put my finger on why until now.

This.  The “think of the children” nonsense has even been called out publicly by tumblr as specifically NOT being the reason for this move (though I think it made for a great excuse to get the ball rolling on this with the urgency we’re seeing here)

First: nudity =/= pornography, regardless of the gender identity of the subject (“female-presenting nipples” ?!?!). That we’ve taken our natural, unadorned forms and turned them into taboo is already part of the problem here.

That’s how I see it. Ad revenue is king, and if that plummets, there will be more changes.

“Adult” content is a big chunk of the interactions on tumblr (clicks, likes, reblogs, whatever) and interactions are about one of the only metrics that matters to advertisers and investors. With tumblr being such a big chunk of “active and engaged users” for the new Oath entity, their parent as of January 1, I…

the site will use programs taught by humans to identify and flag content

Purely crunching numbers may make tumblr’s user base seem pretty balanced, like only a fraction of the users post or reblog or otherwise engage with “adult” content, but in reality, the adult content is the section of tumblr that was actually lively, thriving and growing. You can’t make a business out of cat memes and…

To my point though, take Bill Cosby for instance...he was brilliant, his stuff was so funny and beloved by so many, but now I would go out of my way to make sure that man never makes another cent off of my support...and he was actually TALENTED. So who is supporting this Takeshi crap, when there was barely anything…

I’m active in the kink communities on Tumblr, and man, it’s just fucking miserable. It’s not even, “Hey, we can’t look at porn anymore,” it’s “people are going to go off and find somewhere else to talk about these common interests that have brought us together and I’m going to lose all my friends.” It’s really sad,…

1) Somehow it’s never the time.

What is a meaningless term to avoid making a moral panic look like a moral panic?

It’s wild how many artists/creators actually make adult type of content and there is a pretty consistent and healthy community around it.

And then it would also put a HUGE damper on any artists creating anything that breaks the guidelines in general. Even if it’s tame.

It’s like Yahoo wants to kill Tumblr, haha.

I find this abject terror of the female (but only the female) nipple in media much more offensive and embarrassing than the material it involves.

I only ever used Tumblr for adult content so I guess I’m never going back.

I’m assuming it’d take something more than just monkey DNA to get a Pred-a-pet with 6 limbs, so the Predator DNA lab scenes probably got cut for being a bunch of hard-to-follow science-y stuff (a montage maybe?).  There also seems to have been a further story behind the Pred-a-dogs and the earth dog, but something…

Did #45 sign those with a magic marker?  Did it also look like he was trying extra hard not to mess up signing his own name?

At what point is an artist just so brilliant that you’d overlook the fact they’re a convicted pedophile rapist and go on giving them money by buying their music and tickets to their shows and whatnot? I mean, this guy is trash, his work is meh, and yet he’s still selling music and merch and tickets for his tour dates…

Can we stop using words like “controversial” to describe racist pedophiles?

Waiting for the day when I never see an image of this rainbow snow cone tattooed rapist clown face again, the filthy piece of shit. All the punches forever.
