Tumblr will ban all “adult content” from their platform beginning on December 17th:
Banned content includes photos, videos, and GIFs of human genitalia, female-presenting nipples, and any media involving sex acts, including illustrations. The exceptions include nude classical statues and political protests that feature nudity. The new guidelines exclude text, so erotica remains permitted. Illustrations and art that feature nudity are still okay — so long as sex acts aren’t depicted — and so are breastfeeding and after-birth photos.
With the holiday season coming up, this is just a quick plug of our “gift a membership” option. If you’re looking to get someone in our forums a special gift, this is a non-renewing, one time, $25 option. You’ll be gifting all the perks of membership: an ad-free, Dark Mode, exclusive content experience for an entire year.
