………….we knew this shit was an issue that staff has been ignoring for ages but it finally came to bite them in the ass
hey general psa that in the notes theres a bunch of really stupid misinformation bullshit (as i should have expected) abt how this is a fandom thing, about fanart/fanfiction, and i would just like to clarify for as many people as i can that this is not a fandom thing at all, it is an issue targeting IRL minors.
minors have been running “sex work” blogs, selling private snapchats, et cetera, using tumblr as their platforms. there are also adult rings of CP (photographs and videos of IRL minors) distributors on tumblr that have managed to slip by filters. this is the issue being looked into by law enforcement, this is the issue being pursued by tumblr, and it is the reason the purge is being done so hastily and messily (protection of minors being sexually trafficked is generally more important than avoiding Jane Doe #193′s doctor who blog being nuked by accident). reporting fandom blogs to tumblr for written content and fanart is only going to confuse the matter further and make it more likely that minors will be put at greater risk (if fake reports come in massive quantities and drown out the real reports or make alarm fatigue likely).
please don’t spread misinformation y’all!

I cannot emphasize enough that this not about fandom right now, it’s not about your witchhunt against Ao3, it’s not about your blog going away (ps. if your blog accidentally gets deleted in the purge it seems like you can contact Tumblr and they will restore it), it’s about Tumblr ignoring a VERY REAL PROBLEM for a VERY LONG TIME (when we told them and told them and told them) and finally being forced to do something about it THANK GOD.
Yeah, I call bullshit. If this is all about protecting the children, why the hell can’t I turn up images of legal age porn via the search on here anymore??? Put any word associated with porn in the search box and you get nothing.
Even if you search for a pornstar like Sasha Grey or Yhivi, you get images of them fully clothed. This is a purge of any and all NSFW content, and they’re using the “LET’S PROTECT TEH CHILDREN” smokescreen as an excuse. Get rid of the illegal stuff, but leave the rest alone FFS
I’m assuming you’re talking about the iOS app? Because the website is just fine when it comes to searching porn.
On the app, yes. I’m rarely on desktop.
Yeah, I don’t use the app, it’s garbage pretending to be an application. I either come here on Safari (desktop and mobile)
So, it’s the final piece in a very sporadically posted series of Hermione Granger as different “chess pieces”. I’ll probably post them as a group in December.
