Friendly reminder that tumblr’s so called exception to the censorship of allowing “nudity in art, such as sculptures and illustrations" means fuck all, fan art is already being culled.

Tumblr has already started flagging illustrative posts, some with no nudity at all, some with partial nudity such as two men with shirts off not even touching each other and this seems to be especially happening to queer couplings. Some pictures with no nudity at all are being flagged though too, even a friggin picture of a turtle was flagged.

1. The censorship bots aren’t able to discern between a turtle and a cock. This isn’t going to go well.

2. Queer content already seems to be targeted worse than cishet.

3. “Female presenting nipples” is just a terrible way to start justifying censorship, then adding to insult telling us nips are okay but only as long as it’s in the context of females pushing out a human because hey that’s all women and their bodies are good for amiright and then also particularly targeting queer content for censorship. You must have known the uproar that would cause. Seriously. Just the wording is asking for an HR disaster. I wonder who let that get through, but then at least it shows the true colours and intent behind this.

@staff This is not good.

i saw a freaking dreamhunter gif set get flagged

also: several venom/eddie posts, a frog, and freaking SESAME STREET
