( No Title )
Earlier today we shared our theory as to why proship accounts were being terminated and why these terminations were not being reversed as false/mistaken.
Our theory was that tumblr was actually enforcing the rules outlined in it’s TOS change from November 2022, which appeared to be banning all depictions of underage characters in fictional text and artwork, as well as adult characters who are too short/chubby/cute etc.
As of now, this theory has been confirmed as true.
Fictional images and text about underage characters or characters who “appear” to be underage (no criteria or metric given) are no longer welcome on tumblr and are an offense receiving account termination.
This was confirmed by @proship-writing-prompts-archive who shared this screenshot regarding account termination.
Likewise it appears that victims discussing their experiences of child sexual abuse are no longer welcome on tumblr either. This info was shared by @xxlovelynovaxx and is also the likely reason for our own recent termination.
Tumblr is now officially a fiction and art hostile site. Please remember to treat it as such. If you think your content may fall under tumblr’s new prohibition, please make sure to only post it at AO3, Pixiv, Inkbunny or Aethy and link to that account on your tumblr.
Likewise remember that these new rules apply equally to all members of the site, and that if you see fancops discussing child sexual abuse, or sexualizing characters who are under age those posts may (and should) be fairly reported. blackheartxbiohazards
