I remember when I was a teenager I'd be so scared of being wrong that I'd just be confidently incorrect about everything.

Somehow we have an entire industry (and economy) propped up by algorithms that behave the same way I did at 12.

Incredible

You go into the bathroom and stare at other people's genitals? Weird thing to admit in public. Hopefully you stay far away from children.

‘I feel violated’ - Queer Creators Lose Livelihoods in Itch.io bans The recent Itch bans on queer and NSFW content have damaged careers and put countless people out of work. Though some are now on the verge of homelessness, they’re still organizing and fighting back. TNN delves into what’s at stake on the frontlines of the fight against anti-queer censorship.

Over the past month, independent content hosting platform Itch.io has been systematically banning queer & NSFW content. We talked to creators about how this impacted them, and how they’re fighting back.

I kinda feel bad for the UK. At least the USA voted for Orange Hitler. The UK voted for Labour but then ended up with Sturmabteilung Starmer.

Digital painting of a bathhouse scene. There are four men in the illustration, two of them sitting by the pool's edge, and one is half submerged. All three of them are looking up at an angel. In the background, there is a faint view of the cityscape, and tall arched columns. There are also birds flying across the room.

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

Hello friend

As our artist laureate @harebrained.bsky.social so beautifully depicts.

THEY MADE POMPOMPURIN WITH A TAN LINED BUTTHOLE, I AM LITERALLY SCREAMING😭

A source reached out to me claiming MasterCard contacted Riot Games about the ongoing Steam/itchio controversy. MasterCard is a major Riot esports sponsor. This is the message going around internally from Riot, paraphrased: * MasterCard has asked Riot to keep an eye out for negative sentiments on official Riot streams * Riot has asked esports content creators working with official Riot properties to watch out for any negative sentiments toward MasterCard * Moderators have been told to look out for any unusual activity around the MasterCard issue

Riot Games Accused of Blocking Mastercard Discourse in VCT Chat As multiple different parts of the art, entertainment, and gaming industries are being impacted by ongoing crackdowns from various payment processors, it appear

Riot Games is accused of actively suppressing any negative comments related to Mastercard or otherwise mentioning the anti-game/NSFW censorship movement on its esports broadcasts.

The decision to do so was reportedly made internally, according to an obtained statement.

Based on recent voting trends, millennials and younger generations actually seem to be the exception to that rule. We actually may be becoming less conservative with age or at least less likely to become conservative.

I don't think that tells the whole story though. Burning Man groups have increasingly become more welcoming to great effect. It's common to see pride flags and racial minorities at burns when it was a lot less common even a decade ago. Burns are swelling in size as a result.

The INF doesn't operate in the US but has reflected the same issues. This is a global issue as anti-queer sentinent and race-based nationalistic ideals continues to rise globally. Most naturist groups tend to ignore inclusion in order to create less friction with current conservative members.

Google their FAQs - start the call off with one of them and take it to the end of that long road - then when they ask if you need anything else - bring up the censorship.

The issue is that his tolerance of people who hold such views is a huge roadblock to diversifying naturism. You can have a bar with a bartender who himself doesn't hold Nazi views, but if he tolerates people who do, it makes the bar into a space that isn't safe for minorities.

Also, side tangent but no one is going to "normalize naturism" by posting selfies online of themselves and all their pals sitting in a hot tub on private property.

Let's do a freakin' body freedom protest y'all.

This is why you need us queers. We're used to having to fight for our rights.

I don't think the future of naturism is in the current naturist organizations who actively scoff at the idea of making actual substantial changes to welcome in more diverse groups of people. Nor do I think sitting in private clubs and writing strongly worded letters is materially helpful.

Friendly reminder that the current president of the INF endorses known queerphobes who accuse queer people of grooming children.

When called out on it, he said that other people were just entitled to their "own opinions".

The current president of the INF was in bed with known queerphobes and threw a fit when called out on it. He told everyone to "respect other people's opinions"

It's a trash organization so this doesn't shock me.

The only reason Apple, Google, Meta, etc. are even throwing a hissy fit is cuz they're so used to Europe rolling over to the USA that they're basically in tantrum mode cuz they might lose a few hundred thousand in gross revenue on the billions they rake in.

Hot EU take: the DMA is trash legislation that doesn't go nearly far enough to reel in the USA's big tech firms. It doesn't offer any substantive improvements for consumers and only seeks to enrich already large tech firms instead of allowing for smaller players to compete.

Actually insane how these companies feel so emboldened to lie right to their customers' faces like this.

Anyway fuck Starbucks and fuck their spyware-riddled app

Also download Aurora Store from F-droid on Android where it actually lists out the spyware

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.
