NEW YORK, Dec. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- FanCentro, the
world's largest platform for influencer fan-clubs, issued a
statement in opposition to Tumblr's ban of adult content on its
platform.
"In a world full of gun violence, fights for equality among
races and gender, and serious political turmoil, Tumblr has decided
to turn its powerful lens on the major issue of nipples," said
Stan Fiskin, CEO of FanCentro. "I am
not sure why companies like Starbucks and Tumblr have such massive
issues with sex and the human body, but it is rather frightening
that these are the issues they choose to be outraged about."
"In solidarity with all our adult influencers we are taken down
our Tumblr blog and created a new
one at blog.fancentro.com. We encourage all companies to
support sex workers and join us in this boycott," added Fiskin.
Tumblr announced on Monday they would be shutting down and
removing accounts with any form of adult content. This on the heels
of Starbucks announcing it would no longer allow access to adult
website from its store WiFi.
"I find it amazing the a person can play a first person shooter
game on Starbucks WiFi or log into an account where people will
claim the earth is flat on Tumblr, but show half a nipple and they
lose their minds. Pornhub gets over a 100 million people daily. We
have thousands of influences and over a billion users, porn is
mainstream," added Fiskin.
Adult entertainment is on the high rise as the billion-dollar
industry continues to grow year after year. Adult workers are on
the lookout for the best services and tools to generate more
revenue and grow their brand. Tumblr's shortsighted action, that
fly in the face of freedom of speech, continues the alarming trend
of persecuting sex workers for no reason at all.
"FanCentro will continue to support all adult performers,
entertainers, and sex workers by providing them with a platform
designed and made for them to build their online brand to generate
revenue. We are here to empower and let performers have
control of their business. It's their life, their brand, and their
enterprise," said Fiskin.
"Content creators looking for an avenue to blog can do so on the
FanCentro platform and will have premium options as well as
free. This feature will also include the ability to import
all your Tumblr content and will be launched before the ban goes
into effect," concluded Fiskin.
