But, but ... censorship!

Seriously, I have to wonder who is actually enraged by this. If you want to browse for NSFW content, check the box and get on with it. If you want your NSFW posts to be displayed to unsuspecting people... I guess you're out of luck.




What if I want to browse for Adult content?


You're right. I wasn't really aware of the NSFW vs. adult distinction when I posted.

So NSFW content is available, but only from blogs that feature it occasionally? Adult blogs are not searchable, and not indexed in Google? Only days after Karp appeared on TV and said Tumblr won't police adult content?

Well, it's Yahoo/Tumblr's prerogative to handle NSFW content however they see fit. I'm not enraged, but... I don't get it, and it seems like a lame move.


Then find something else - I fail to see how you have a particular right in this case for Tumblr to provide your adult content to you.


Oh, for sure, I'm not one of the "enraged" people; I just wanted to point out that it's not just a matter of changing a flag.


NSFW and Adult are separate categories and you cannot reenable Adult.
