Sorry about all the soap box posting, gonna try to chill out now.
"Ah but I can think of a scenario where violent videogames CAN cause violence!" I say before someone drops a Mortal Kombat arcade cabinet on my head.
Like yeah, there's still nuance. The Epstein class just doesn't care.
I'm not saying people who are viscerally affected by certain content are invalid or are secretly fashy for not LIKING it, for being negatively affected or even HURT by it.
I'm saying the Prudes don't care, won't make a distinction, and want to ban all art.
"Okay, but that fictional content CAN hurt people."
Yeah, so can ALL fiction kinks.
So can strobing lights.
That's why we have content warnings.
This
Yeah, that makes sense. I probably shouldn't pin anything on a "generation".
Oh dear 😅
It's all the "violent videogames cause violence", BS all over again.
"Well what if it's a real life man moles-"
THEN YES, THAT'S BAD, OBVIOUSLY! THAT'S ILLEGAL AND WRONG BECAUSE A *REAL PERSON OR ANIMAL GOT* GOT HURT.
DUH!
"Well what if that person saw some bad art?"
WHAT IF HE LOOKED AT A FIRETRUCK? A TIN WHISTLE? FORTNIGHT? THE COMEDIAN, CARROT TOP?

Sometimes I wonder if this "puriteen" stuff is a generational thing.
Like I grew up with the net but I didn't START with it, you know?
I remember the BEFORE times.
Internet circa 2001-2011 would melt some of these people's brains.
Some people here like, "Okay but THIS kink is obviously illegal and immoral," and I'm like
Hell, I rarely draw NSFW myself, but I CERTAINLY wouldn't want it to be publicly available without any filter.
This is a strawman. We're not saying let us post NSFW publicly.
Also the vast maj of websites already banned loli/shota LONG before the payment processors came along.
But very few people are advocating for totally viewable posting of adult material, icky or not.
That's what tags are for.
Took me like, two minutes, and you can comment anonymously.
Most people in power consider any form of non-hetero-normative behavior as "obscene" and "pornographic".
Don't let them keep wedging their foot in the door with "think of the children" or "we don't want to promote abuse"
Oh? Did an actual living being suffer abuse? No?
Then fuck off!
They WILL come for your kink next.
Donald was accused of fucking a kid, Elon’s website generates child porn on demand from actual CSAM, we’re blowing up children for the sake of several religious madmen, but nooooooo it’s completely fictional art that’s the problem.
Fuck you fuckers and fuck you everyone who called us alarmist.
Honestly I got like three, maybe 4 subscribers, and while I DO value them, the vast majority of my art money is through Patreon.
That should tell you how utterly absurd this is. They literally exist for a minority of sex workers and they just told them to fuck off.
Okay then? 🤷🏻♀️ Bye, I guess.
"Now give your children to the president so he can . . . process them."
The whole point of defending the right for uncomfortable, or even reprehensible fiction to have the right to exist isnt that its all cool and nothing is ever wrong with it
Its that government/corpo organizations will NEVER look at things with the """nuance""" you think is so self evident
"That's a sus head to eye ratio."
It all goes insane with cartoon phrenology.
Imagine if a payment processor told Starbucks that they couldn't sell coffee anymore or they wouldn't let people pay for their coffee.
Then everyone went to their local coffee shop, and the payment processors told them the same thing.
This age of internet censorship by monopoly is insane/unjust.
Like, what did they think was going to happen? They're literally the place people go after being rejected by the BIG sub sites.
"YEAH
I mean except for"
NO
your "except for"s have made it so you can't hypno shit anymore. The only exception is real people being real hurt against their will /period/ and if it grosses you out go write in your diary about it
A-fucking-men.
With what's going on with Subscribestar, it's a good moment to remind you all of something:
Free speech also includes speech you don't agree with, and freedom of artistic expression also includes art you find horrible or disgusting.
And if you go: "Yeah I agree! However-"
Then you don't agree!
Gonna once again point out that everyone has carried around a rectangle containing infinite pornography for the past decade minimum and society didn't dissolve so miss me with any weepy handwringing about smut.
Good thread here.
If they can erase the kinks you DON'T like, they can erase the kinks you DO like.
The red line is ACTUAL abuse. Everything else is a slippery slope to total adult censorship.
What makes me so fucking mad is
I never hurt anyone. The vast, overwhelming majority of nsfw creators and sex workers dont.
We get cut off from the ability to use-the-dollar but all the sick fucks that hurt people, both directly and indirectly, every single day, never get even a slap on the wrist
