As most of you probably know, Tumblr\u2014a longstanding fandom hub and the only place where I can post Stucky fanfiction without fear of judgment or acrimony\u2014has decided to start cracking down on \u201cinappropriate\u201d content<\/a>. This comes just days after the Tumblr app was removed from the Apple store and appears to be an attempt to get back into Apple’s good graces.<\/p>\n The upcoming ban has been met with backlash<\/a>, owing mostly to 1) Tumblr’s decision to prioritize curbing nudity over, say, Nazism, a problem that has long plagued the site, 2) the adverse effects this \u00a0policy will have against marginalized creators<\/a>, and 3) Tumblr’s brand-new yet completely bonkers moderating system. Said system includes an offensively dubious definition of the word \u201cnudity\u201d<\/a> and has so far flagged things like same-sex couples in non-sexual settings, Renaissance art, and Sebastian Stan’s ankles<\/a>. To be fair, however, Sebastian Stan’s ankles are extremely provocative.<\/p>\n The ban won’t officially go into effect until December 17th, at which point we can expect Tumblr to become as squeaky clean and sexless as a classic Regency novel. As such, here are some other things Tumblr has probably decided to ban:<\/p>\n 1. Taking a walk in the garden unchaperoned<\/p>\n 2. Showing too much wrist<\/p>\n 3. Unladylike deportment<\/p>\n 4. Presuming too great a familiarity with someone you scarcely know<\/p>\n 5. Accepting a gentleman caller<\/p>\n 6. Vulgarity<\/p>\n 7. Failing to guard against vulgarity<\/p>\n 8. Asking someone to pass the potatoes directly rather than delegating this task to the host’s manservant<\/p>\n 9. Dancing more than twice with the same man<\/p>\n 10. Dancing with a man \u00a0to whom you have not yet been formally introduced<\/p>\n 11. Showing a blatant want of conduct<\/p>\n 12. Failing to act shocked at the mention of bodily functions<\/p>\n 13. Failing to acknowledge an acquaintance in a social setting<\/p>\n 14. Failing to feign ignorance of your husband’s affairs<\/p>\n 15. Public outbursts<\/p>\n 16. Discussing commerce with women<\/p>\n 17. Forcing oneself upon a man’s notice<\/p>\n 18. Calling upon someone of a higher social standing without the proper clearance<\/p>\n 19. Eating too quickly<\/p>\n 20. Eating too slowly<\/p>\n 21. Laughing loudly<\/p>\n 22. General unpleasantness<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As most of you probably know, Tumblr\u2014a longstanding fandom hub and the only place where I can post Stucky fanfiction without fear of judgment or acrimony\u2014has decided to start cracking down on \u201cinappropriate\u201d content.
