this is what you’re missing
You know what sucks the most…
…about Tumblr removing adult content? It’s that this place was more than just about porn. Its where I gained my first semblance of confidence. It’s where i found that people appreciated guys like me. I wasn’t just the ugly fat guy that I felt I was. People liked me for who I am and how I looked and slowly I started to believe the possitive things people said about me. I was lucky enough to experience that, and so I’ll personaly be fine. But the idea that someone who has no self worth or self esteem can’t come here to experience that same sense of pure acceptance for who they are just doesn’t seem fair to me, because I honestly don’t know what I would have done without this place.
Tumblr was a refuge for a lot of people. It was a means to express themselves sexually without ridicule or judgement. It helped people grow and feel good about themselves. It’s not just about the loss of some cheap titillation for a lot of people. It’s been way more important than that and it’s a shame they’re willing to sacrifice all of it just because they couldn’t keep a handle on their porn bot problem.
