Tumblr didn't go down because of the controversies , and there were many. It went down because it was hostile to pornography

the key wasnt the pornography, but the kinds of people who post what tubmlr CATGORIZED as pornography. everything from queer communities, sex education, and people who post a variety of things only SOME of which was nsfw. by alienating those people who were the core of the community that existed there, they drove out the community forming elements that existed on the site in the first place.

I still find it hard to believe that they only banned "female presenting" nipples. If a man posted his nipple on the site it was fine, at least after appealing the moderation decision, but if I woman did it? Banned.
