Tumblr Banning NSFW Content

Well, I can’t say I’m surprised, but here we are.

As per this post from Tumblr, starting December 17th all adult content on Tumblr will be banned. Here are some of the key quotes:

  • Starting Dec 17, adult content will not allowed on Tumblr, regardless of how old you are. 
  • Adult content primarily includes photos, videos, or GIFs that show real-life human genitals or female-presenting nipples, and any content—including photos, videos, GIFs and illustrations—that depicts sex acts. 
  • Written content such as erotica, nudity related to political or newsworthy speech, and nudity found in art, such as sculptures and illustrations, are also stuff that can be freely posted on Tumblr. 
  • Blogs that have been either self-flagged or flagged by us as “explicit” per our old policy and before December 17, 2018 will still be overlaid with a content filter when viewing these blogs directly. While some of the content on these blogs may now be in violation of our policies and will be actioned accordingly, the blog owners may choose to post content that is within our policies in the future, so we’d like to provide that option. Users under 18 will still not be allowed to click through to see the content of these blogs. The avatars and headers for these blogs will also be reverted to the default settings. Additionally, posts from these blogs are kept out of search results.

So there are some interesting tidbits here in relation to this blog specifically. They are primarily going for pornographic material. I could (and would) argue that what I do is a sort of erotica/theater that would fall on the side of written erotica more than visual pornography (i.e. nothing happening in my audios is real and is a performance art vs. porn). 

However, what they’re going to do to self flagged NSFW blogs is essentially neuter them. Posts hidden from search, icon turned into a gross Tumblr default pic, and so on. Whether my content remains on the blog is purely up to Tumblr, but it’s clear that Tumblr can no longer be the key platform for my content. The good news is, we’ve been preparing for this!

You absolutely should go subscribe to my YouTube channel HERE, where I’m going to be releasing all sorts of old SFW audios this month and soon I”ll be posting totally new content with new characters!

If you want to absolutely guarantee that you keep getting my NSFW content, you can sign up on my Patreon HERE and you’ll get NSFW audios at the $1 tier. All the content that has been publicly posted is in the archive there. 

What I’m NOT going to do is panic, and neither should you. The writing was on the wall, and out of this mess I’m sure there will be people looking for a new platform that suits their needs, and maybe it’ll come around. I’ve still got a very clear picture of the future for YuuriVoice, and it didn’t exactly involve Tumblr all that much anywho. 

I’ll link the relevant links, and urge you once again to go follow, subscribe, etc. because this is it. For real this time. We’ve got two weeks, and then we don’t exactly know what this blog is gonna look like, so let’s make the most of it, yeah?

Reblogging because this blue banner of shame is going to wind up sending dozens of panicked people into my inbox and I’m hoping with every ounce of hope I can muster that they’ll read my post first.
