Yeah, while I donāt care for underage content, or care if other people do, thereās not much that can be done when itās explicitly against tumblrās tos. I donāt think itās that big of a deal, but it is what it is. And youāre right, thereās plenty of other stuff still here that shouldnāt be.
And what qualifies as āunderageā varies a lot. Some think if a character has never reached the legal age canonically itās unacceptable, or that aged-up is still underage, or drawing a character physically small/cute/etc is still wrong, or if a character has a childish personality itās never okay. Itās a real flamey hot button issue on tumblr. Actually thereās a lot of dynamics tumblr doesnāt like so itās all the more confusing what can and canāt be uploaded here.
I think the biggest issue I might have with it it is the āpurgeā happened because of real actual cp featuring real actual children, not because of fandom shipping. Somebody drawing southpark ships or attack on titan ships or kuroshitsuji ships didnāt cause this. Real actual pedophiles did. And just lumping the two together belittles the more important problem.
Should they have handled it differently? Itās hard to say. I havenāt been apart of tumblr for too long, though Iām aware theyāve done a similar purge before. And since they allow minors to register on this site, it makes things a lot more difficult. Iām apart of an R-18 only smut site and they did a similar purge (no fiction depicting minors) years ago so this isnāt new to me. In fact they handled it so much better than whatās happened here. Tumblr pulled the rug out from under artists because they avoided fixing the issue for so long and it got out of hand. Thatās real shitty on their part.
