Tumblr Users Are Tagging Porn With The ‘Citrus Scale’

Image Source: The Daily Dot

There was a saying back in the early aughts: when life gives you lemons, it’s actually giving you porn. The ‘citrus scale’ was created in the 2000s, using code words like ‘lemon’ and ‘grapefruit’ for explicit online content. Well, now Tumblr users are bringing it back to hide X-rated content on the site.

What started as a nostalgic, NSFW joke now has an actual purpose since Tumblr’s porn ban. It’s an efficient way to share NSFW content without getting flagged. ‘Lemon’ means explicit content, ‘grapefruit’ is a tag for kinky content, and ‘orange’ is the word for ‘weird fet shit.’ Delicious!
