So, to clarify what’s going to happen, here’s a handy checklist:

What will happen

• Images of real-life nudity will be flagged
• Flagged posts will be only viewable by the poster and nobody else
• Flagged posts can be appealed and fixed if done so by mistake
• That’s it

What will not happen

• Blogs will not be indiscriminately deleted
• Posts will not be indiscriminately deleted
• Written smut will not intentionally be flagged
• Illustrated or otherwise artistic nudity will not intentionally be flagged
• Tumblr’s RP community, SFW or otherwise, will not implode upon itself

I really HOPE this is what will happen, but a few things that shouldn’t have happened seem to be already happening.

And this is not just an issue of whether or not the Purge will actually happen like we think. The staff’s attitude has clearly demonstrated that they don’t care about the state of the platform or its userbase as long as it doesn’t directly harm their benefits (aka their app being taken down in stores). 

Instead of focusing their efforts into purging chi1d p*rn and p*rn bots, they’re just disabling nsfw altogether. And there’s no set guideline for what makes a (creative) content nsfw enough to get flagged and reported by tumblr algorithm. 

And for many those are enough reasons to migrate to other social media platforms.
