Everything appears to be coming apart at the seams. To summarize: Tumblr’s content has played an important role in people’s self-discovery and the forging of communities that can serve as veritable lifelines sex workers are being denied the livelihoods they had been earning on a safe platform where they could control their own presentation flagged artists are leaving in droves, also in danger of losing important streams of income, with their absence affecting fandoms overall. “It’s not that this content can’t be found elsewhere it’s just that you probably won’t find it sandwiched between a “Queer Eye” meme and a character analysis of “Wonder Woman” anywhere else on the Web,” J.P.
Yet the sheer variety of posts on Tumblr, and an inclusive sex-positivity that infused the site as a whole, cannot be replicated. As D’Onofrio has suggested, there are other places where adult content can be found. If you’re not a Tumblr user, you might be puzzled as to why so many are so furious and in active mourning about the loss of this kind of material.
