I Just Think The Issue Has Some Nuance That's Not Being Aknowledged - Tumblr Posts

They Are Literally Using These Tools.

They are literally using these tools.

This person clearly blocks tags that indicate mature content. Like they're trying their best, I don't think it's a good faith argument to say they're not using all the tools at their disposal when they a) already block tags like minors dni to keep from seeing stuff that's not meant for them / curate the content they get and b) are using a website that doesn't have a super good age restriction system for mature content

Like it or not, a lot of kids use tumblr. The site isn't 18+ by any stretch, and I think most of us are aware that the mature post lables are pretty iffy in catching mature content. Unfortunately, that kinda means you need to tag suggestive content to keep minors from seeing it.

Whoever sent the ask wasn't seeing out posts for adults and then complaining that they saw posts for adults, they were scrolling through a tag that's mostly used to talk about a character in a video game, saw something the filters they have in place would've blocked if it was tagged properly, and then sent a message asking for the content to be retagged so it would be blocked in the future.

If we want people to be able to curate their feed, we need to tag the stuff that they want to curate out. Like it's very much a two way street, and I don't think it's fair to rag on this minor for not being able "to just block the content they don't want to see" or not "being responsible" when they're clearly filtering for mature content to some extent.

If it's not tagged as mature, they can't avoid it for being mature, y'know?

Now This MAY Seem Impossible To Believe, But I Have Actually Been Using The "kris" Tag For MUCH Longer
