Not to be that bitch being horny on main, but honestly, I don’t even get off to real p0̸Яny-p0̸Яn, and not the heterosexual stuff at all. As a woman, most p0̸Яn just feels kind of violent to me, even though irl my proclivities can be pretty aggressive sometimes, not gonna lie there are handcuffs and a flail in the nightstand. But when I first started using Tumblr I really appreciated all the really affectionate, artsy, sapphic erotica on this website, because aside from real flesh-and-blood people, that’s literally the only type of media that actually arouses me. While my own blog probably won’t get deleted, and I deleted my own sideblog of nudes from Tumblr, I’m really going to mourn the loss of all the “female-presenting nipple” on this website. Tumblr was a platform for sapphic, female-curated erotica that was made and maintained by women for women and not the male gaze which dominates the p0̸Яn industry.
Same here! There’s really nothing like it on any other platform, and the idea of losing all that is really fucking depressing. That soft, female-focused erotica here is honestly one of the things that helped me realize I was sapphic myself.
Yeah, same here! I was just coming out around the time I first logged onto tumblr. This new policy is also destroying the livelihoods of female adult models. Also saying “female-presenting nipples” are “harmful to minors” is so fucking sexist. Nipples are not inherently sexual. All of Tumblr’s lip-service to gender equality over the years is total bullshit if they are going to condemn all femme nipples as guilty of perversion until appealed and proven otherwise.
Absolutely. They can try and couch it in pc-sounding language all they want, but at the end of the day, it’s a whole lot of misogyny. I would unfortunately argue that their allyship has kind of always been bullshit, what with all the issues with LGBT tags and refusal to deal with harassment aimed at women and sex workers. I can’t say I’m surprised, but I’m certainly disappointed.
