With the abundance of UNWANTED things @staff continues to update, there seems to be a new advancement that rolls right in line with keeping tumblr “safe”! Remember when the whole safe mode feature first came out and loads of content/blogs were wrongfully marked as NSFW and blocked? Now it’s back again but this time with a slippery disguise!
You’ve probably seen the horrendous update to your activity page and how it’s now set up. Well, among that chaos, there are some avatars that look all weird and pixelated.
An avi with that pixelated look seems awfully familiar….
So now you’re wondering…who is that? Did I block this person? Why the pixels? Then when you click over to their blog-

I started seeing the pixelated icons and was so confused and yet when a porn blog with someone fucking in their icon was in my notifications there was no censoring on it. like holy shit wtf
