When did freedom of expression suddenly become an online crime? When did an attack on a specific subset of any group ever work to the benefit of any institution?
In this bloggers humble opinion, Tumblr’s December 17th forced genocide of Adult Content blogs is just another example of how our society is slipping backwards in its level of tolerance towards anything that is different, preferring to have this type of content hidden away, and marked with a scarlet letter of intolerance and shame.
Are there issues revolving around certain types of blogs Yes. Child pornography and other unacceptably content is abhorrent to all. Is Tumblr going after those specific types of blogs? No. Are they setting up a system that blocks minors from accessing adult content blogs? No. They are preferring to follow a simplistic “nuke it all” approach rather than address the overall problem. Taking a M.A.D (mutually assured destruction) approach, can only end in one way, for without adult content, Tumblr will die off.
So my friends and followers(93k amazing individuals), I challenge you to reblog this note, and challenge Tumblr’s decision. Perhaps, if enough of us stand up and protest some good will come of it. Resist, and fight the good, and honourable, fight.
Censorship and the elimination of an individuals rights to express themselves is the first step towards a totalitarian society. I encourage all my followers to reblog this message
64k+ follow all things gay, naturist and “eye catching”

Guys, I’ve gotten A LOT of messages from people saying how much they like my blog, if you like my blog put this shit on blast, if not not only will you lose my blog but the thousands of other accounts just as good as mine or better. Take a stand against this crusade and show tumblr how important blogs like this are.

The video was produced by Christopher Bill, a trombonist and prolific YouTuber, to draw attention to next year’s International Trombone Festival. How effective is this video as a call to enroll? Let’s just say the organizers might find a few beginners in the mix this summer, newly inspired to take up the instrument.
