In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours. 

The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.  

Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.

However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.

Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.

This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.

This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable. 

To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of November 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue. 

Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users. 

Reblog to signal boost! We must force change.

Since rthe tags aren’t working, can you make one last post with a link to your stories so we can save the Mabifica content? And will your AO3 fics stay up?

Sure, no problem:

Thats where I keep my stories here on the site.

I have no intention of taking down my AO3, even if I haven’t added anything new to it in a long while.

I think my AO3 has most of the Mabifica I’ve written up on it already too, but just in case I forgot to post one there feel free to copy any ones that I missed off the first link.

THE BIG NSFW PURGE

coniferoussiblings:

So I guess I was living under a rock or something because I only learned about Tumblr’s plans to delete all NSFW content by the 17th of December today.

My entire blog is flagged NSFW in the settings because I didn’t want someone to accidentally run into one of my more risqué stories while they were just casually searching for fluff – its the same reason that I never tagged any of my stories with “Gravity Falls”, only “Pinecest” or “Mabifica”. 

I’m guessing that this blog will probably be blown away into the digital ether by December 18th, so if anyone wants to save my stories so they can read them later please feel free to do so.

I should probably do so as well, since otherwise they’ll probably just disappear forever. I do have a few saved up on AO3, but not nearly the whole collection here.

To everyone who has ever read and commented on my work, thank you – I’ve appreciated every word from anyone who took the time to send me a message.

We really need a fandom library. I hate the idea of your stuff, or any of the works of art and fiction that defines the fandom itself to be lost. My works are all on AO3, as I hope the majority of everyone’s are.
