Dear Tumblr @Staff

I went looking through my artist reference tag on my art blog and I have a few issues with what your algorithms have deemed “not safe for work” or “explicit”. Let’s review:

Fairy costumes. All genitals and female nipples covered.

Cosplay tutorials for foam armor and sewing invisible seams.

Drawing references for pants (no penises shown) and women’s shoes/feet.

Types of crowns and the (fully clothed) historical people wearing them.

Animal anatomy. Straight up normal animals, nothing sexy, not even in the post for drawing dragons. You even flagged a post showing nothing more than animal NOSES.

Know what was conspicuously NOT flagged?

Conclusion: your algorithms fail and this entire policy of banning NSFW images is poorly conceived and even more poorly implemented.

But you probably knew that, you just don’t care.

Sincerely,

brassed off tumblr artists
