its honestly bananas to me that so many on this website seem to assume that someone’s tumblr output is an accurate reflection of their real life priorities and activism and all of their beliefs in order of how hard they believe them. like. idk about you guys but i’m reblogging things that i want to reblog not keeping a minute by minute record of my deepest held beliefs. for one thing my deepest held beliefs are mostly not about star wars
I was just thinking about the old Japanese censorship laws that gave birth to tentacle porn…
So for anyone not in the know, the Japanese government decided to fight perversion with censorship.
Specifically you weren’t allowed to draw penises.
So they drew things that WEREN’T penises instead. Like tentacles. Fast forward to today and tentacle porn is an entire standalone genre with thousands upon thousands of examples and enjoyers.
The attempt at censorship did not quell perversion, it only caused it to mutate.
And now I’m thinking about tumblr’s decision to ban porn and of all the people leaving captions under videos of heavy machinery and industrial accidents like “I need someone to do this to me” and “this wouldn’t fix me but it would help” or “everything reminds me of her”
