Remembering this piece from Nyanners' Tumblr. I think, overall, this should be the general stance that the community grows into.

Visibility and time will get us there, but progressive & independent creatives in the medium do need to set these things clear from the onset.

I am fine dropping the subject here though.

I don't think this idea that there are no liberal/leftist rebuttals to the tolerance of drawn CSAM is smart, so I challenge it where I see it if I have the spoons.

There's things that are made to gratify and things that are gratifying because they're beautiful.

There's no substitute for emotional intelligence here. Ultimately though, most people would be able to tell between a porn mag and a photo mag, from their context cues.

Would it be that bad to keep that stuff in a journal then, if it's personal exploration which could be an asset to harm if it was published?

We can accept either if they're discussed, but it's different if they're __gratified__, especially if their gratification requires the production of abuse material that can become an asset to harm.

Bear by Marian Engel is *anything* but an unchallenging piece of art meant to gratify the senses. I think you do not understand what porn is and why it's regulated differently.

You're being very self-satisfied in reaction to what I imagine you know is most people's opinion on the subject.

Depends. Fictional depictions of murder that exist for the purposes of representing or commenting on reality, we generally value.Stuff for people who get off on the idea of murder, less so. It's part of why we try to lock mass shooter manifestos.

We don't compare gore porn to Crime and Punishment.

No, I disagree. There's always a line you can draw — even among things that are fine and completely legal, we have taboos and faux-pas in the interest of pro-social behaviours.

We can always make exceptions of the exceptions make sense. We always do, in fact.

There's usually depictions of things we generally agree to censor and it's fine — like drawn CSAM, revenge/AI porn or McCollough effect pictures that can damage your eyesight.

I think at minimum we have a right to use our own free speech to object to the things we find objectionable.

Articles 1 and 2 of the OPSC: Article 1 States Parties shall prohibit the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornogra- phy as provided for by the present Protocol. Article 2 For the purpose of the present Protocol: (a) Sale of children means any act or transaction whereby a child is transferred by any person or group of persons to another for remuneration or any other consideration; (b) Child prostitution means the use of a child in sexual activities for remuneration or any other form of consideration; (c) Child pornography means any representation, by whatever means, of a child en- gaged in real or simulated explicit sexual activities or any representation of the sexual parts of a child for primarily sexual purposes.

Map of OPSC signatories.

My definition of CSAM comes from the Optional Protocol on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography.

Nearly every UN member agrees with the OPSC and is bound to comply with it according to international treaties.

Sexual violence against women & children is a reality we need to discuss more - but pornography is meant to gratify and validate the senses, not create spaces for reflection.

There's an abyss of difference between Boku no Pico and The Bluest Eye.

Anime has always been a shelter for the non-conforming; it's no surprise. Some forms of imagination, regardless of how repugnant they might be, are still legal up until they present a danger.

Problem is, drawn CSAM is CSAM - so the danger is they can't exist w/o the production of abuse material.

Imo, it's very odious and objectionable how much loli/shotacon is accepted in some #VTuber spaces; a lot of them pose as "progressives" as to normalise drawn CSAM.

Personally I won't indulge this lot, nor wish have them near any spaces I am in.

I hope you can respect that boundary and leave 🙏

It's my turn on the Xbox get off CoD I want to play Halo.

If you guys see me getting discourse brain again please post the Red Angry Bird at me.

quick Kitt sketches warm ups, been a while since I've drawn her

I think I am happy with NSFW art of my model being made.

My measure of it is that it's a free speech issue and anything that isn't outwardly threatening or hateful should not be subject to censors.

I am not a NSFW creative — but if you are, I support your rights to free expression!

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

This is the splash I did for Krita from 5.2.3 to 5.2.15. Full version can be found on my website in my profile info. The next splash is coming soon, too!
