controversial but in my many years as a minor on tumblr i’ve never seen a single sex worker. they always block minors, mark their blogs as nsfw, and don’t spam the popular sfw tags. even if you, as a minor, actually look for them, as long as you listed your age truthfully in the registration, you won’t be able to find them.
what i, instead, saw as a minor was:
porn bots (which could be stopped by: captcha, double confirmation for accounts, not allowing url shorteners, not allowing rebloggers to delete captions, i would even be ok with hyperlinks not being allowed in reblogs)
fetishes and kinksters (which could be stopped by: adding more tags to the nsfw filter, including fetishes/kinks that appear as sfw)
people who forget tag their shit (which could be stopped by: an auto-tagging system for sensitive tags that would work similarly to the current block for apparently nsfw posts, but can give the op the option to delete incorrect tags)
pro-ana, pro-mia, romanticization of self-harm (which could be stopped by: banning the whole tag, as it just happened)
nazi, terfs (just kick them out for hate speech like twitter does)
pro-map thankfully only appeared once i was already past 18 but of course you could just ban the whole community + tag as it just happened.
prevent usernames with words that hate and pedophilic groups use to flag from being chosen at blog creation.
while i know that tumblr is a 13+ website, nsfw content was hidden from minors last year. most cp was deleted + outlawed (both irl and drawn) for good not even last month. and while those are recent changes they did make tumblr, overall, 13+ appropriate.
i do not care much for porn, i just feel like they are solving the problem the wrong way and punishing a group of people who did nothing to harm minors. there were smarter solutions to this problem that were ignored in the favor of a very sloppy solution that doesn’t even cover stuff like sfw kink blogs, porn bots who don’t post pictures (most of them), people who just won’t tag their nsfw, hate groups and other non-sex related communities who are extremely dangerous for minors.
oh since this place is ending I think it’s weird how a bunch of you losers are obsessed with kids shows and im glad you won’t be able to draw steven universe porn anymore you fucking low life freaks
the comments under this are so psycho and you’re all going to jail
I think my goal for next year is to take more pictures and go out to be seen like bdd makes me feel so alien in my own body idek what I look like anymore and I dont want anyone to look as t me and it stops me from taking chances and I miss out on so much
my mom cut me off pretty abruptly and while i have a place to stay and enough food for now i now have a lot of things to pay for that she was supposed to help me with
i don’t have enough money on my own to take care of all of it since it’s last months phone bill (60eu), this months phone bill (40eu), and my computer (210eu, that I’ve been trying to get back since September but my mom was supposed to take care of that and that’s not happening! i really need it for work and art! ) i can take care of abt half the computer money on my own but i can’t pay the bills AND eat this month AND pay for transportation. this is pretty urgent as I’ve already gotten some phonecalls abt my computer and my phone. i really can’t afford to have my phone cut.
i need abt 200€ and i would be really grateful if you could spare a few $€£¢ to help me get by this month! i can also do some art commissions ( trad drawing and painting, dm me if you want some examples of my work)
if you can’t spare anything even just rebloging this would help a lot
