Anonymous asked: Please don’t end your blog!! It’s beautiful. There are many tumblr alternatives and there is software to help you port your content to the new platform. Let Tumblr die by driving the nsfw community to a competitor, not by letting them kill a beautiful thing like modfetish. You own the domain name. Keep it alive, make it better. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
tumblr allowed me to easily find and curate without spending my limited time hunting through a tons of separate websites. Also, any artist who uploaded their art knew it could/would be reblogged. I would not feel comfortable saving images from other sites and putting them on mine. I’ve always respected any takedown notice I received from a model or photographer, no questions asked. And I do not have the motivation nor time to clear rights on everything. tumblr’s specific design allowed this site to exist.
We all have seen the Tumblr communicate about forbidding nsfw blogs or those which have “adult” posts.
They think it won’t cause them any harm, but we are a really big part of the community. Let’s act and tell the staff that tumblr will slowly die after taking this decision. Follow these steps:
First of all, REBLOG THIS POST, so any NSFW blog can post and see it.
Give tumblr the worst mark at the App Store or Play Store
Write a negative comment about how they’re banning accounts and censoring the freedom of expression.
Purpose as a comment below a new site to move as a NSFW community.
If you do this before the 17 of December, we can change this decision. Let’s make the staff hear us. Make tumblr great again, a free place for free minds and free content!!
Personally, I enjoyed every single moment here at tumblr, and I appreciate everyone of my followers and blogs that I follow. If they delete my account… It was a pleasure to know you all. But we can still change this!!!
It appears tumblr is putting an end to adult content on their platform. I’ve enjoyed the many years I have been posting here and I am sad that it will be coming to end.
In modfetish’s hay day, I was seeing 40k viewers a month. Thanks to all the artists and curators out there who’s work has contributed to this blog.
The Center for Sex and Culture Gallery is pleased to present FEVER: Documenting the Human Sexual Experience - a group photography exhibition of emerging and established national and local artists featuring the erotic and transgressive documentation of human sexuality. featuring: Chas Ray Krider, and eighteen other participants. Guest curator Anissa Malady, MLIS.
The Exhibition :
The role of an archive lies in the commitment to finding and preserving the record of the human experience. FEVER showcases a group of modern photographers documenting the human sexual experience. Additionally, FEVER asks both how the work is shared and viewed, and also explores the question of potential longevity and archival preservation of this type of artwork.
FEVER derives its name and concepts from the book, Archive Fever by Jacques Derrida, which argues that while an archive is a public realm, it is also a repository of the private and personal, including the intimate. Published in 1996, Archive Fever also examines the role technology has played in transforming the entire public and private space of humanity.
