If you’re wanting to show your displeasure, don’t just tag staff or support. Take a page out of other consumer revolts and make sure your displeasure is known.
Don’t be an idiot. Do not threaten, harass or otherwise make this personal. Contact these companies, make your displeasure known, alert them that you are a customer and you will be leaving their brand across all boards unless they reverse their decision.
Be clear, be concise, be polite, but make your displeasure known.

New Info Will Be Added As I’m Made Aware Of It
Edit: This does nothing if it isn’t shared around
I wrote a moderately irritated but still measured email that anyone should feel free to snag:
Dear Support Staff,
I am writing, as I’m sure are many others, to express my displeasure at the “no adult content” guidelines Tumblr is planning to roll out this December.
Tumblr is, of course, a private company and has the right to host whatever content it would like. As a consumer, however, I am incredibly dispirited to find that Tumblr has elected to target non-malicious users alongside the “porn bots” that plague the site; moreover, I am upset that Tumblr is doing so under the guise of deciding “which communities” it wants to host on its platform, while doing precious little to mitigate the presence of users espousing Neo Nazi and other violently radical platforms.
I respectfully request that Tumblr and its staff make an effort to remove “porn bots” and other malicious spam and malware, users espousing violent platforms, and to leave the multitudes of artwork, writing, and “female-presenting nipples” deemed “adult content” aside for the time being, until the site’s more problematic and actively harmful content is dealt with appropriately.
If the proposed changes do come to pass in mid December, against the clear wishes of Tumblr’s enthusiastic user base, I will be finding another platform on which to host content, and encouraging others to do the same.
Thank you,[your name if you want]
I’ve just finished my page and a half compliant which I’m sending to the above addresses from the UK.
I encourage everyone who can to also write or email with their complaints as our voices on this matter should be heard. Your opinion as a site user matters! Please take the time to let Tumblr know how you feel if you can.
I just hope if they receive enough complaints they may start to listen to their customers, but I won’t hold my breath, i mean that would make business sense after all.
