Supposedly Tumblr is allowing porn again

Public

Okay.

So what if (this is a joke poll) to allow porn again, you also have to censor tumblr and write shit like "unalive".

I want to stress the blog post did NOT mention text censorship, this is just a monkey's paw curl I thought of

@lapis I want to see what awful shit people come up with for text porn

@coriander Supernatural J2 fanfic from this cursed hellworld:

J1 touched the other man's p&&pee and stroked it.

"Fudge," the other J said

@coriander See the problem is you can't use words like "Ejaculated" even though they used to use that word ALL the time in a supposedly NON-sexual way.

So I really hope in this hellworld people are also pissed they can't write historical fiction

@coriander @lapis i mean this is where terms like "lemons" come from right?

Quiet public

@Lady @coriander somewhat, though speaking as someone who spent a childhood on fanfiction dot net, some people just straight up wouldn't even label their smut fic with "lemon" because then it could be taken down.

@lapis @coriander i mean that's what i'm saying though, text censorship is the original censorship, it's always been technologically trivial to search text for "bad" words

so using bad or obscure euphemisms is already an ingrained part of fandom culture; people would adapt to it on tumblr pretty easily i feel

sidenote: i imagine historians in the future will really resent the early 2000’s for making them keep running lists of site-specific words and phrases used to get around censorship blocks lmao
