The only two reactions against "Tumblr is banning porn" I've seen are: "This is a dumb move that will kill Tumblr which has a huge adult following" and "The NSFW filters suck and will be overly broad, banning far more than porn".
Both are correct. Tumblr has existed for over a decade and the porn fight is one they've had before, and lost for those same reasons. I don't believe Oath cares enough about Tumblr to be even sort of careful with it, so they're just bulldozing the place into the most standard corporate-approved "social media network" they can think of.
(Disclaimer: I don't care about Tumblr at all, but I've seen enough of these uninspired acquire&bulldoze ploys to recognize them now)
> I disagree, this is not harmful to these users, because ___
(I have a) radically different value system than you
There, you chose one.
As a commenter, there are several "good faith" ways to respond to this:
- I disagree, this is not harmful to these users, because ____
- I agree that this is harmful to these users, but that is outweighed by ____
- I don't know whether or not this is harmful to these users, and I'm looking to learn more about their concerns.
You seem to have taken another route, "I don't understand this concern at all, nor do I intend to educate myself on it, and instead I'm going to rant about how these people are bad for society". This doesn't strike me as productive.
(Also: you're arguing against an imaginary position. Nobody is claiming that Tumblr doesn't have the right to decide what content is allowed on their platform. The argument isn't that tumblr can't do this. This is just shedding a light on the harm this decision will cause)
