Mudamos de casa

A The Google AdSense Team enviou-me um email a avisar que um dos meus outros blogues, o Old Paint, tem pornografia e/ou conteúdo para adultos. Dava a título de exemplo a etiqueta relativa ao ano de 1932, na qual constam dois nús artísticos:

François-Emile Barrauda, La seance de peinture, 1932, originally uploaded by Gatochy.

Adamo ed Eva di Tamara de Lempicka, originally uploaded by Giacomo Momo.

Isto para me dizer que assim não poderiam continuar a permitir que eu colocasse publicidade nesse blogue, bem como em qualquer outro blogue meu que também mostre imagens de nudez - o que é perfeitamente possível, porque eu gosto muito de arte.

Nesta situação eu teria gostado de poder contactar quem tem poder decisório na equipa AdSense, informando-o/a de que Tamara de Lempicka e François-Emile Barrauda não foram pornógrafos nem produziram conteúdo que não fosse de qualidade (não que não haja pornografia de qualidade) - mas a mesma mente que não tolerou a visão destas obras de arte compreensivelmente também não tolera ser contactada. Há várias coisas que parecem assustá-la sem motivo racional.

Não está sózinha. Por exemplo, tem-se tornado tristemente conhecida a tendência da equipa Blogger que tem a seu cargo a supervisão do conteúdo dos blogues de se sentir transtornada com sites gay (inclusivé quando esses sites, tal como os meus, não são pornográficos), tendo vindo a apagá-los sem mesmo se justificar junto dos seus autores - o que faz todo o sentido porque, em verdade, como justificar uma aversão moralmente indefensável? Como justificar um preconceito?

Como não é possível falar com eles, nem eles me compreenderiam, e ficariam emocionalmente stressados, para nada, se eu o fizesse; e porque não quero causar mais transtornos emocionais a quem já tanto se preocupa para nada com coisas sem importância, achei que o melhor era transferir todos os meus blogues para o Tumblr, o que foi muito fácil de fazer e não me custou rigorosamente nada.

E já lá estou! A nova morada é Estórias da Carochinha, e vou continuar a fazer por lá o que tenho feito por aqui. Se têm gostado, é só seguir o linque.

Agradeço ao Blogger ter-me servido tão bem ao longo destes anos e desejo a quem tem vindo a tomar estas decisões reprováveis que continue a tomar os comprimidos. Até já! :)
