my absolute favorite thing about the tumblr adult content ban is that between the 180 degree turn (or peripeteia) between “go nuts show nuts” and banning “female-presenting nipples” and the absolute hubris of tumblr staff, tumblr as a website is literally turning into a greek tragedy that would pass aristotles’ poetics test
This website was already a greek tragedy by the time people started stealing bones, everything since has just been icing on the cake.
stealing bones is exactly the sort of crime against god and humanity that atreus would commit so really what i think we’re dealing with here is an atreus-house type situation
tumblr staff is agamemnon getting killed in his bath and tumblr users are clytemnestra wielding the ax
i personally think its pretty crazy that karl marx actually knew what was gonna happen to us back in 1850 like this guy comes out of nowhere at what the fuck o'clock and goes, capitalism is going to creep into every single crevice of your lives there will be nothing left and all creativity and integrity will be taken away like. he just said that and it was correct
