I finally had a look at which Richard Armitage posts of mine tumblr censored
I had to laugh. There are very few photos of the actual Richard Armitage that would qualify as actual adult content. (Drawings, manips, writing are perhaps another story.) As this selection (four times, which was everything I had to appeal) proves.
[ETA: they were all immediately restored.]
[ETA: *This* post was in turn flagged as too adult. And has been appealed. And was restored. Honestly.]
They don’t like pictures of devils without genitalia?
If they are really censoring heterosexual kisses, we’re in trouble.
Twitter also had a problem with pictures of Armitage’s chest — I temporarily got my account labeled as too sensitive to view due to a naked chest picture. I get it: I find it moving, too. But too adult?
I do agree that Dr. White is being very responsible here, but that definition of “adult” seems a bit broad for getting this image censored.
Me + Richard Armitage 
Very funny, how could they interpret the Dr White one as anything other than Do It Yourself.

Maybe they think she meant do him yourself?

I would totally do Dr Scott White. I think it’s that home repairs are an adult theme.

Wow, somebody really screwed up the algorithm.

maybe there’s an opponent of home repairs in the software development group.

Somebody feels jealous of tools, perhaps the size or how well things hammer into place?
I’ll show myself out 😝.

Fantastic. And good move to actually document the flagged images. I totally forgot to do that – had similar issues as you. In any case, they even make for a great revisit!

yeah — I’d forgotten those science posts.

Maybe its Dr. White’s stunning rear that’s the problem? Wow, whatever algorithm it is that does the flagging, it needs some help!

Richard Armitage’s rear end is so spectacular that it shines through any jeans it’s placed in.

Pourtant ces images me semblent bien innocentes, d’autres sont bien plus problématiques, selon moi.

oh, definitely there’s problematic porn on tumblr. Just that obviously their computer algorithm can’t really recognize the difference.

Two gif sets of N&S kiss scenes plus a few other benign reblogs of mine were flagged, which was ridiculous. As I tagged tumblr staff, they have better things to do with their time than deal with unnecessary appeals. I think the algorithm they use flags anything with flesh colour, but then that doesn’t explain the Scott White post above eyeroll

Maybe they were trying to get us all to be more involved on tumblr, by protesting.
