Starting body positive Saturday off with me. Yes I have a hairy chest. No I never shave it. Yes I know it’s not a six pack. Yes I have male presenting nipples. I like me. I’m happy with me. You should be happy with yourself too.

Good Bye

To my 50k+ followers I’m sorry to say that on Dec 17th this blog will no longer exist in its current form. Tumblr has decided that adult content is no longer going to be permitted. Apparently the CEO found religion or decided that Mcarthy-ism was a good path for Tumblr to follow. Either way I would say that you should vent your frustrations to the leadership of Tumblr but ultimatly it will do little good. Plus who wants to continue to support a social media paltform that doesnt want them around ?

In the run up to Dec 17th I’m asking that if you have some guidance on the following I would appreciate a private message :

#1 - Is there a way to grab the shared public content of this blog and back it up so it can be deployed on a new blog site with less restrictive and short sighted leadership?

#2 - Does anyone know of a similar platform like Tumblr ?

Lastly I will leave you with the following advice:

It is not good enough to just stop using Tumblr. Ghosting it like a crazy ex will not affect its undelying structure. Whether you log in or log off you will still be a critical number as it sells your account as a potential advertising comsumer waiting to be won over.

If you want to send a message and you want the board of Tumblr to take notice delete your account don’t just stop using it. Block their email notifications and permantly remove yourself from their services. Never look back at what Tumblr was even if they promise to go back to the way things were before Dec 17, 2018. It will not be enough to show Tumblr what it lost, we will need to show the next CEO of the next blog site that throwing out part of the reason your paltform became so populat is not an option they will want to persue.

I hope to find a new home on another blog site simialr to Tumblr soon. When I do I will do my best to let my followers here know where I’ve ended up.

To those of you who enjoy the masculine appeal of blue collar men, especially truckers, I bid you a farewell and best wishes. Thank you for the years of private messages and support.

Real talk, though, because it needs to be said: as much as we all joke that porn was the only good thing this place had left, the reality is that it being the only place where one could regularly engage with and promote sexual content being gone is really not understanding at all what makes this place special. I mean we all joke about “horny on main” and all that, but the reality is that for a lot of the LGTBQ+ community, particularly younger members still discovering themselves and members in extremely homophobic environments where most media sites were banned (but Tumblr wasn’t even considered important enough to be), this was a bastion of information and self-expression. For a lot of artists too, this was a great place to come and post NSFW work and get traction that became Patreon pages that became honest jobs. The problem with “family friendly” social media is that more often than not, the ones hit  the most by the whole family friendly nonsense are marginalized groups that have no vehicles to express themselves. Stuff like YouTube consistently bans or flags simple content featuring something as innocuous as two men kissing as “adult” content and makes it hard for LGBTQ+ content creators to compete with their non-queer peers for a lot of those reasons. The ultimate problem isn’t even that banning of NSFW content, it’s the general mess surrounding it and unintended consequences to these groups. For MONTHS Tumblr has had a huge problem with porn spam bots and outright child pornography, and for MONTHS the majority of the userbase has been in general consensus that both of these things needed to stop. Tumblr did NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. When Apple finally removed their app from the store, SPECIFICALLY because of the child pornography, Tumblr decided to do what any rich corporation owning a social media site with zero understanding of what makes it popular would do, and decided that the best course of action was to eat itself like an Ouroboros. Rather than admit that they have done an absolutely shit job at keeping pedophiles off this website and rather than hiring the necessary staff to carefully moderate content, they decided to loose a poorly programmed bot that literally deleted perfectly SFW blogs with thousands of followers, and rather than properly handling moderation, they decided that it was best to simply go the lazy route and block anything even remotely NSFW. They run this site in the worst way possible, and I don’t understand how @support or @staff or their completely oblivious “CEO” plans to keep this sinking ship alive.
