Today in redundant news: Adult content is “now” allowed on X, and Gay Twitter™ is confused
more of a mess to use (and that’s saying something).For starters… why the name change to X? It doesn’t make sense, no one knows what we’re supposed to call “tweets” anymore, and everyone still refers to it as Twitter anyway!Beyond that, the updates to X’s user experience under Musk’s muddled management have ranged from the infuriating (R.I.P.
Twitter Circles) to the downright endangering (hate-speech and conspiracy theories have continued to proliferate in the app’s latest era).Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.But it’s the app’s latest policy update that’s proven to be its most confusing yet: Apparently, adult content is now officially allowed on X???X/Twitter announces that it is officially allowing adult content on the platform.
pic.twitter.com/resBGtiBa8We know what you’re thinking: “Wait a minute, if it wasn’t allowed before… then what have I been bookmarking and viewing in the privacy of my own home?”Yes, X’s recent announcement that users may share “consensually produced and distributed adult nudity or sexual behavior” is what we in the industry like to call “redundant.” After all, NSFW content has been allowed on the app for quite some time, and it’s only increased in recent years.
RIP Twitter Circles, August 2022 – October 2023. Gone way too soon.In fact, according a report from Reuters, 13% of all posts on the platform contain some form of adult content.
