this tumblr ban is gonna get warriormale deleted and for that we must Kill
Is this what warriormale had us training and fighting for?
yes.
No, this is wrong.
We don’t seek to hurt others, we seek to protect them.
The decision to filter nudity was a business decision by Tumblr.
They are running a business and trying to become profitable.
We have the right to go elsewhere, which I have done.
I have a Twitter account and a Discord server with WarriorMale content on both.

HAVE A JOVIAL HOLIDAY SEASON EVERYBODY
jokes aside i really do like how this turned out,, much better than the one I made 2ish years ago,,,,,,
Dr Seuss: ‘Maybe Christmas,’ he thought, ‘doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas … perhaps … means a little bit more!’
Illumination:
Then they got an idea! An awful idea!
THE BRANDS GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA!
All the marketers thought, “Why should tickets suffice?
With the Grinch selling knick-knacks, why, we’ll be paid twice!”
Forget all the morals! There’s cash to be made.
From frosting to forklifts to Grinch Gatorade!
Just slap his face on there and tint it with green
And prepare for profits, yes, profits obscene!
From a seasonal, festival holiday grump,
The Grinch had been played for a capital chump.
“No more! Won’t you forget these trinkets?” he pleads.
“Christmas isn’t junk! It’s your bonds and your deeds.”
For a moment, they paused. Was there more to this day
Than products and placements and big bonus pay?
The PR men sniffed and they shrugged and they sighed.
Then they threw him some cash and they went back inside.

It’s not just Tumblr, people. This shit is getting ridiculous.
Of course it’s not Tumblr!
They came for Craigslist personals first because that’s the oldest trick in the book: Sneakily taking down the ‘perverts’ under the guise of vague, high morality goals and working slowly up from the bottom, picking off larger and larger targets. Few people cared about CL because of the stereotype of scary unwashed creeps trawling for sex online. That wasn’t so familiar or cute so it was fair game.
Tumblr is biting at the ‘artists’ heels and suddenly there is a bit more noise, because artists aren’t supposed to be treated like shit, are they? However even now the hair-splitting over what’s porn and therefore garbage and not-art shows that attitudes are not so different. It’s still the same divisive, dangerous us v.s. them mentality that is so easily exploited.
This is why when people tell me I shouldn’t worry about this because ‘my art isn’t porn anyway’ it makes me angry. It means so much more than drawings or a silly blog. This is about people being slowly phased out of their freedoms, rights and agency. History has shown time and time again that whenever power wants to make a crushing move backwards, it comes for what it declares ‘obscene’ first. People are raised to be scared and ignorant of sex so it’s an easy gateway. When they come cracking down on sex is when we most need to pay very close attention. They are not protecting us.
Yeah. This isn’t about whether *you*, specifically, don’t want NSFW content shoved in front of your eyeballs, it’s about whether the people who want to see NSFW content have the right to see it *at all*.
It’s also about what counts as ‘nsfw’ or ‘pornographic’ content. The article hints at it but doesn’t state it directly, but LGBT content - any LGBT content, even the most G-rated or strictly informative kind - is usually an early target in the name of ‘cleaning up’ a website. (YouTube, for example, is already guilty of doing this.)
