anyway so i just read through the new posts tumblr & tumblr support put out about this and here’s the low-down for my fellow members of the rpc:
- written content containing “erotica” is still allowed – aka you can still write all your smut
- nudity found in art like sculptures & illustrations is also fine – this does not include gifs of scenes from tv shows, movies, etc. that have explicit material such as genitalia and sexually explicit acts
- if you’ve reblogged sexually explicit (visual) content and were not the original poster of it, you have nothing to worry about – tumblr is contacting the poster & it will likely be removed from tumblr and therefore your blog
- aka save it to your computer if you really really want it i guess
- this process isn’t going to be perfect – some things you think are fine will be flagged & vice versa. give it time.
- also if there’s anything you’re the original poster of that is flagged & you disagree, you can appeal it to tumblr
- if your blog was flagged as explicit, that is now obsolete by these new guidelines – your blog will still be overlaid with a content filter when viewed directly
- if you think you’ve been incorrectly marked as explicit, go here: https://www.tumblr.com/support
- THEY AREN’T KICKING YOU OFF – removal of content, not people
- no more porn gifs & shit, my dudes – you’ll have to settle for your imagination
