So, Is Tumblr Still Not NSFW? Let’s Break It Down!
Oh boy, hold onto your Art School Degree because we’re diving into the drama ocean that is Tumblr! Buckle up, folks, because it seems some changes are washing ashore after that glorious (or ghastly, depending on your views) ban on NSFW content that went down in December 2018. Let’s unpack this in a way that’s engaging, informative, and hopefully funny enough to keep your attention.
Yes, but also No. That’s the answer to your question about whether Tumblr is still not NSFW. After years of scaring off many adult content creators, Tumblr’s staff has taken a baby step towards teasing some NSFW vibes back into the mix. Yes, you heard that right—the staff member jv recently confirmed that there will be community labels that allow for some select adult content to peek through those tightly shut doors. But let’s not get our hopes up too high!
The caveat? You can’t post any actual sex acts or visible IRL (In Real Life) genitals. Tumblr still plays a hardball with a select few types of content. Sorry, folks, the show ain’t back on the road like it was before! The new rules mean you might see some artistic nudity—think pin-ups, but female-presenting nipples? Still a no-go. In simple terms, you can now post a cheeky drawing of a butt crack or a tasteful artistic silhouette, but don’t even think about putting your actual nuts and bolts back out for public view—at least not just yet.
The staff seems to be introducing these filters because they recognize that their user base has become a bit of a, well, ghost town since they kicked off the great NSFW exodus. But let’s be real, these new features serve as somewhat of a half-hearted attempt to rehabilitate a community scarred by their past hamfisted decisions.
Fast forward to now, and you’ve got Tumblrites who are cautiously excited. They’re ready to experiment with fan art, maybe some suggestive themes—they’re poking around, trying to find boundaries without getting the digital smackdown from Tumblr’s moderators. Some users are even reaching for the #GoNuts hashtag, but don’t get too frisky, it’s still partly forbidden territory! Nature is healing?
But is this enough to bring back the exiled users who basically scrambled to Twitter for their fix of chaos and late-night musings? Only time will tell if Tumblr can pull off a comeback of epic proportions.
