Open to all fans, roleplayers, readers, content creators, in the NARUTO fandom community. I want us to exchange contact info! We’ll make a list! ^___^;;
“Written content such as erotica, nudity related to political or newsworthy speech, and nudity found in art, such as sculptures and illustrations, are also stuff that can be freely posted on Tumblr.“
Us Roleplayers shall be fine, it seems. Let’s spread this around rather than spread panic.
Everything started on the 16th, when Apple removed Tumblr from AppStore. Turns out it was due to a recent audit that found out there was child pornography around here. (X) They’re trying to fix the issue though (X)
More recently, tumblr started going after NSFW blogs, but it doesn’t seem like it’s because they’re NSFW, since some SFW content has been deleted as well along with any and all NSFW search (X).
It doesn’t seem like a hunt for NSFW content though, just a purge over child pornography that, as the links above note, ensnared legit users on its path. (X)
Though, keep these steps in mind if you know someone who got their blog deleted (X)
this is a bit of an emergency
BAD NEWS AHEAD
If you use Tumblr, backup your stuff right now and make a post redirecting your followers to another account, Twitter or something like that
Apple removed Tumblr from the App Store because their porn bot problem got too big, and they don’t allow explicit NSFW apps
Tumblr, like the galaxy-brained geniuses they are, are going on a spree and deleting lots of NSFW blogs
Even famous artists like cutesexyrobots and eigaka got their blogs purged, so ACT QUICK

@support and @staff are a bunch of braindead, incompetent morons who can’t code for shit. They don’t know what a bot is, so they purge accounts with actual people behind them. How can they be that stupid?
Hot take, shipping cartoon characters is in no way related to or the same thing as being a child abuser who molests kids and conflating the two is a disgusting way to trivialize the abuse of children.
what op isn’t saying: a site that gives young writers a platform to make their work more accessible is bad
what op is saying: don’t give your money to a site that actively turns a blind eye to child pornography
This seems like a good time to remind people that AO3 grew directly out of a previous moral panic similar to the one on tumblr, complete with people calling things “child pornography” when they weren’t. AO3 does not, in fact, turn a blind eye to child pornography. AO3 does allow writing which involves uncomfortable themes, including child abuse. That’s not child pornography. But there’s female writers, and queer writers, and queer content, and that makes people uncomfortable, so they go around stretching definitions so they can claim that a non-pornographic textual description of sex is “pornography”, and 18-year-old characters are “children”, and ignore all the other distinctions.
People on the Internet have been using accusations of pedophilia and child pornography to silence things they dislike for decades. It’s not new, and its primary effect is to allow actual abusers to escape detection, because the vocal critics are flooding law enforcement inboxes with spurious reports.
The spurious reports are, invariably, directed at marginalized and vulnerable people. People it’s safe to attack. AO3 exists precisely because that consistent pattern of targeting vulnerable people on trumped-up charges has been causing our communities a great deal of pain for longer than most of the current crop of attackers have been alive. Please continue to support AO3.
If you are deeply concerned for the wellbeing of the people attacking AO3, consider that you may be saving them a lifetime of bitter remorse over what they destroyed, when they grow up enough to realize that trying to wreck the lives and work of vulnerable people so you can feel powerful isn’t actually protecting anyone.
Omg. OPs. Seriously. Do you know what “child pornography” even IS. I politely invite you to go read the good wikipedia article on it, since this is apparently a website that you trust.
Don’t go throwing that kind of terms and extremely serious around while meaning something completely different entirely.
Already made my hefty donation to AO3, and will continue to support them in the future. I’m very thankful for a site dedicated to protecting writers from the uneducated purity police.
[[ Guys it’s 2018 there’s too much information about how the massacre was carried out for you to make this mistake just pick a non-massacre AU p much all the uchiha blogs have those i’m begging you–]]
“Grooming” is not a minor going on the internet and lying about their age to access adult materials and potentially forming viewpoints based on those materials.
Grooming, especially child grooming, is when a predator earns their victims trust through things like favors and friendship so that the victim will let their guard down and be easier to abuse/exploit. If someone was groomed it means they were explicitly abused/exploited or intended to be abused/exploited by the groomer.
Telling someone who never even spoke to your kid sister that they’re a groomer because your sister lied about her age and reblogged porn is extremely gross and unwarranted. Claiming you were groomed just because you lied about your age and were around adults that liked kinks that you were fine with at the time but now find objectionable is wrong and dishonest.
Please stop misusing terms and wrongly accusing people of very serious things.
