And of COURSE this is being forced by the payment processors... Looks like we'll have to spam phone calls to them once more

I knew this would happend when i saw "payapl can now be used as a payment method" lmao, suscribestar supposed to be an alternative to patreon for the fact on not having to be so "vanilla" on the content you sell and go a lil bit more taboo, idk what they where thinking lol

And with that, SubscribeStar will lose a massive chunk of their creators... Congratulations... subscribestar.adult/prohibited_c...

Like there's an actual throughline to "they're coming for your stuff next" because that's what happens when you believe in moral contamination.

This always happens. Always. If you're like "yes ban noncon!" in 2 years or less shibari will also be right out.

So you ban, say, noncon and then you ban fantasy dubcon like hypno and then you ban anything where the characters aren't Enthusiastically Consenting and then you ban anything where they aren't smiling. It's not enough to avoid depiction; you have to affirm that you reject it.

Like I've been callin' at least one person five days a week and blastin' out emails daily since this whole Collective Shout censorship shit kicked off, and I DESPISE DOING BOTH. If I can commit to this, so can y'all.

One day I'll be able to simply not rebleat some dire fuckin' shit and all of my feed will just be cool art and funny videos and fat fuckin' asscheeks and not ~ALL OF THIS~ And you need to call yer representatives to complain directly TO THEM that I cannot yet do that.

something that came up a lot in the organic censorship pushes (i.e. harassment campaigns on Tumblr and Twitter) was that once you've decided a type of fictional sex is dangerous enough that people shouldn't be allowed to depict it, you'll start to look for attempts to "sneak it in"

From somebody who knew nothing of this to somebody who now calls daily, it took like 30 minutes to learn and takes like 10 minutes a day. Even though I'm barely online anymore due to having lotsa responsibilities, I make the time to do it. Pick up your phone and start makin' trouble for the nazis.

I'm gonna say this once If I see anyone after today say or repost something like "why should I care about these changes, I don't like "degenerate" art. You gotta kill the fascist that lives in your head because guess what. The sword is closer to your head than you realize

Here's my message regarding the subscribestar situation.

Hey, alongside contacting your representatives, this seems like another thing worth putting a bit of your time into and sharing around. If we could get "reputational risk" taken off the table, even in this current climate, that could create a chilling effect on these kinds of policies

I don’t really know what the alternative will be for myself with SubStar. I might just ride it out. I do still have my Patreon, for now www.patreon.com/acvalensasmr

Kinda weird that the US elite is full of child molesters flying to pedophile island but if a poor artist ages Sailor Moon up to 18 to sell porn to anime fans she gets obliterated from the internet

The year is 2026. The puriteen police stop you because your knees are Sus. Your spine is very morally questionable. You mention harkness and your articles of cancellation are drafted.

"We need mass censorship and surveillance to protect the Children, the same Children that there are millions of pages of criminal report documents saying we brutally abused."

Gotta protect kids from totally real life threats like anthropomorphic animal, hypnosis, and lycanthropy

Bully PayPal and Stripe but I still think VISA and Mastercard are better targets: as well as asking your reps to start thinking about laws that protect porn from being debanked. Again, porn is still legal but they're very quickly making it impossible to access, which makes it essentially illegal.

Getting to feel hopeless w/ all the news and seeing so many ppl on here talking about 'what's the point of calling' and 'well everyone else is calling so *I* don't have to call' whenever this stuff happens. Please take it seriously. Call paypros. Call your reps. We need help NOW.

alas ! subscribestar.adult/thrensfw

The Federal Reserve System (Board) is inviting public comment on new guidelines in regard to debanking of persons & orgs regarding lawful business activities perceived to present reputation risk. Comments due by April 27, 2026. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

my censorship delenda est zine about itch delisting adult art had been a hit last summer and it was very nice to see 1) how many people cared and 2) how many people had heard about the issue already. I cling to that, the fact that a LOT of people (not just creators) were and are still mad.

Let this also be a lesson that when you give ground for the icky stuff you dont like to be banned, you also get stupid shit like “human knees only” that has sweeping affects on the things you actually like! Its one step away from “one character must be feminine, the other must be masculine.”

Tbh the reason why no one wants crypto yet is due to howna lot of people in it are their to swindle despite the fact its honestly a great idea. Think crypto maybe a thing for creators once someone make a honestly good crypto for creators.

Ever since that orange tumor got re-elected, these religious nutjobs got more emboldened by shoving their morals down everybody's throats. I'm so sick of these fossils.

We need legal action to stop this AND some sorta bank/credit union by/for nsfw artists to stop this shit for good. b2b transfers mean nothing if banks start this (more) too. As long as we have money, we need our own banking.

To be blunt, I would not be surprised if Patreon gets hit with another paypro targeting spree in the year ahead

My lawyer brain is stuck on the provision that allowing anthropomorphic characters is contingent on their knee orientation. Some dude at Visa is like “the fur is fine, and I agree Disney’s Maid Marian was hot, but knees are sacrosanct. The line must be drawn here, this far, no further”

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE: -the KIDS Act -KOSA -the Screen Act -Sammy's Law -the App Store Accountability Act And additionally, oppose: -reforming/sunsetting Section 230 -online age verification/ID laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Calling took me less than 2 minutes I was drawing titties. I'd rather do it in the chance that something good might happen than throw my hands up and preemptively give up. Miss me with that doomer shit, respectfully.

''RIP'' G.I.R.L Squad stuff... on SubscribeTARD at least. I refuse to put Roger Rabbit on a cuck chair. Sex between humans and a humanoid aliens, androids or fantasy races like elves, orcs, gods, angels, demons count as ''furry''? Because prohibiting that sounds xenophobic in MY fiction book.

A reminder to call your reps today! KOSA has been sandwiched into the KIDS Act and is still a huge censorship threat. You can use this tool- it takes just a few minutes: www.badinternetbills.com

I know it's a long shot, but I hope everything going on with Lud serves as a sobering reminder of why politics in community spaces, especially niche communities, are important. At any moment, there are politicians and their police deciding people in your community cannot be a part of ANY community.

So SubscribeStar quietly updated their terms very recently, with Patreon-level restrictions on what can be posted now, removing the main point people even had to choose them over Patreon, as Patreon has the larger userbase and easier payment system. Considering turning it into just a tip jar soon.

You should call your reps. I know they all suck so badly--I know the Congress hates the American people and resents us so much--but you should call. Oppose the "KIDS Act", a bundle of censorious bills that claim to be about kids' safety online, but endanger everyone's data privacy (including kids).

Even folks who create fictional content you may find reprehensible havent done a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the harm a paypro CEO or the average politician/world leader has Its not fucking fair man

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

Tell them that it's an issue, who's being affected, and you'd like them to introduce new legislation that addresses it. It's like if a business forces other businesses to pollute the environment, they shouldn't get a pass just because they have a private rule.

Also for the millionth time, it doesn't matter if they're republican. I never want to hear that again. You are their constituent so when you call, act like they work for you

Individual websites will not save us. Running from platform A to platform B will not work as payment processors and legislation will simply follow our trail You have to speak out against censorship and surveillance legislation. Its the source of all of this. Call your reps

Its been brought to my attention that SubscribeStar has updated its content policies and is now much, much more strict wrt the kinds of content it will host subscribestar.adult/prohibited_c...

The Substar TOS looks extremely similar to Patreon's now. Call your reps or we will lose everything Tell them to stop the payment processor power grab, tell them to vote no on child online safety bills/ID verification. We need everyone

This is the "let's find a Discord alternative" problem all over again... at the end of the day all the alternatives have to adhere to ID verification laws or paypros nonsense. I guess fanbox is an alternative but I'm honestly giving myself a day to figure this out for myself

Bills like KOSA and more only become more dangerous Demand your representatives -oppose KOSA -oppose the App Store Accountability Act -oppose The SCREEN Act -section 230 reform/sunsetting -oppose/repeal online age verification and ID laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

so many people are lending a hand to fascists when they police each other on "acceptable" nsfw content and get too scared to stand up for sw'ers and artists when the worst thay could happen to them is get called problematic by other puritans

Really wild situation here: a celebrated and well-regarded indie dev and publisher is facing shutdown because Valve banned their game from Steam and won't talk to them about it, at all. www.ign.com/articles/uns...

IGN is paying attention to censorship again. Use their momentum, call visa and mastercard, tell them you read the article, ask them why they're censoring legal stuff reminder that you don't need to know specifics of what's at play. It's often better to sound like a normie
