What in tarnation, tumblr?

What a day. I come home to see everything and everyone imploding. Seems the Pornpocalypse was still going strong this whole time.

As an artist that doesn’t create, follow, or reblog art of an adult nature, you may think the current state of affairs does not affect me. Well, that’s where you’re wrong, kiddo. Several of my followers have adult blogs, and many super talented artist friends I’ve made over the past few years have adult blogs as well. After a half-assed effort to get rid of porn bots and child pornography, tumblr decided to take the nuclear option and just ban everything.

Oh, not on purpose, I’m sure. But when your bots and algorithms can’t tell the difference between genitalia and a potted plant, you’re doing it wrong. As a consequence, some of the most talented and influential voices on this godforsaken site are peacing out. And I don’t blame them.

I get that tumblr is a business, first and foremost. It’s owned by Yahoo, which in turn is owned by Verizon. Gotta appease those stockholders. But this ain’t how ya do it, chief. You played yourself.

For now, I plan on sticking around. I’ll make this last as long as I can. I appreciate all of you, and love sharing my life and art with you. If push comes to shove though, I honestly have no idea where I could go that all of you would be able to follow. Twitter? DeviantArt? I don’t want to limit myself to just ponies, so derpibooru alone isn’t an option.

If you have any ideas, let me know. For now, I’ll just be watching the world burn.
