it was super hard for me to figure out I liked girls because I always thought my feelings were just like… intense friendship
like when I was 15 me and my best friend made out because we wanted to know what it’s like and I was super attracted to her and all I could think was ‘wow, what a beautiful, profound friendship’
im not gonna like stop using this site or anything but i can pretty confidently say this is one of the dumbest moves ive seen a site make in a while. instead of fixing the actual problems with their website ie pornbots on every fucking post, actual pedophiles, theyre just going to ban everything horny which most likely isnt going to solve those problems and is going to hurt lots of sex workers and artists as well as drive people off the site
People are already patting themselves in the back and talking about how they are such pure cinnamon rolls that these new guidelines will never affect them and…did you forget last time tumblr tried to automatically flag stuff as adult content? When completely SFW posts that had words like “gay” in it or too much “skin tone” detected were just censored? Are you really willing to bet on staff’s competence?
It’s already bad enough you are completely disregarding adult sex workers and decent NSFW artists who use tumblr as a platform and depend of it to live, but you are also dense enough to think no SFW blogs or content will be negatively affected? Take a break from your softboy~* routines and try to grasp just how bad staff is about to fuck up.
Look, there are some people you’re just always going to be a little bit in love with. Your high school sweet heart, your college sweet heart, prince zuko, the first significant other you live with. Just accept that it’s normal and move on.
