That’s why Elon bought it

Ron Cobb, near-forgotten genius political cartoonist. He also did visual design of technology for the first Alien film and countless other scifi movies in the 70s/80s. Including the Weyland-Yutani Semiotic Standard - a visual language used for Nostromo signage.

So apparently grammarly stole my fuckin identity

And my current opinion is that we need to STOP policing people's thoughts - and START actually giving a shit about REAL harm. REAL harm - like exploitation of actors and deep fakes and revenge porn and actual abuse. If you focus on being upset about THOUGHTS, you are ignoring REALITY.

Keep going. Keep existing. This is a death rattle. You will outlive this. Just keep going. We can do this.

Discourse demon

If I may don the tinfoil cap for a second, I think the increasingly absurd restrictions on adult content also have the very much intentional side effect of restricting, if not wholly destroying avenues for (largely marginalized) people to provide for themselves, sidestepping a precarious job market.

*taps the mic, causing feedback and speaking way too close to the mic while saying the joke 1000 other people already said* human-presenting knees

Too hot for Subscribestar, these two.

what it feels like to be an nsfw artist sometimes

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

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

we are being told by a ruling class, made exclusively of pedophiles and their enablers, that consensual sexual expression is more morally repugnant and worthy of death by financial asphyxiation. and we're the villains because we're honest about sexual expression, a normal human emotion

At least with the honest freaks you can make a mostly-evidence-based assessment on whether their freakiness will hurt someone. The lying freaks are knowingly trying to depriving you of the information required to assess whether they are safe to be around.

Every time I see some Epstein List c-suiters trying to regulate society to keep you from doing immoral things like lusting after a cartoon biped with digitigrade legs, I'm reminded of something I realized around the time I turned 18. There are two kinds of people: freaks, and lying freaks.

saw this on tumblr and it's literally so true woah

Anyone trying to explain the line between porn and art rather than the former being a subset of the latter is just trying to invent the distinction wholesale and declare it into existence. By any conventional definition of art, porn qualifies, so they have to start tacking on asterisks.

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

You can read the public comments on this. There's a grand total of 10 of them. I highly suggest adding your support, but be sure to read through it first. They're looking for comments on specific questions, so you should answer with specifics.

minus the fact that it turned out a lot of the sex trafficking was being done directly through these payment processors and basically just out there on gmail and they were just totally fine with it.

Like it needs to be put out there that these payment processors and financial institutions were EXTREMELY complicit with Jeffery Epstein and his buddies. I super duper do not care anymore about what moral ground they wanna try and stand on.

Every now and then I wonder if the reason corporate executives hand down rules that act like nobody can distinguish fiction from reality is that they are the ones who cannot. But in a lot of cases it's just a trust fund nepo baby school bully who never matured who is getting off on exerting control

Enough already. Sex work is work, porn art is work, and work deserves to be paid for. It's time for the grown-ups to make those the rules.

anyone saying this shit needs to understand that the concept of "degenerate art" is DEEPLY rooted in horrifically racist, anti-semitic, anti-queer, and xenophobic nazi sentiment. they literally did exhibitions of modern art to stoke hostility towards anything that perverted aryan values. /1

The fatal flaw of fascism is that they inherently deprive themselves of sufficient loyal competent manpower to directly achieve anything, plus they love giving orders and hate doing work. There can only be a small number of them. Make them force the issue every time and they'll run out of dudes.

There's always the classic sneakernet, which has better bandwidth than any fiberoptic connection ever made, due to the sheer number of usb drives you can carry in your pockets/a cardboard box.

Give me one good reason why fictional incest art should be banned but not Game of Thrones I think incest stuff is a bit gross and I don’t want to be calling anyone Mommy or Daddy or be called those things myself. But I can recognize when people are minding their own business and not harming anyone

i obviously am distressed by the news but also: do not comply in advance the number one response to fascistic bullshit is "Fuck you, make me" 100% of the time

You see, they are addicted to control, and your imagination is beyond their grasp, so they must exert control by trying to convince society that if you read omegaverse novels you're worse than them--"they" and "them" in this sentence being the people filling out the rank and file of the Epstein list

You are banned from having sexual fantasies. If the wild and beautiful open plains of your human imagination involves anything more complicated than genitals touching, you must live outside of society.

I feel like some people don't get, like...the reason why Child Sexual Assault Material isn't bad because it's "gross", its bad because it involves the sexual assault of children to produce hence the name unless something has gone VERY wrong, it takes no sexual violence against anyone to draw a gob

Payment processors making SubscribeStar ban depictions of alcohol in the porn is very "I'm shocked to find that gambling is going on in this casino"

This immediately came to mind.

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.”

The answer that fits best, as usual, is that corporate boards and executives optimize not for maximal profits, nor maximal innovation, nor maximal efficiency, but for maximal sense of control over others (along with affirmations that they have the best brain exclusively full of correct ideas)

shout-out to the tumblr ads of AI ladies in thongs, legs spread, flashing front and center. yknow, the same tumblr that will shadow ban accounts that post any two remotely round shapes next to each other.

Our new 'we're definitely not about to mass-ban all the furries and queer people' TOS has people asking a lot of questions already answered by our 'we're definitely not about to mass-ban all the furries and queer people' TOS.

Subscribe star banning watersports.....that's not even illegal if it were real. What tf are we doing here?

Citizens United has devastated our political landscape and yet campaign finance reform has vanished from the national conversation

The "no furries with humans" rule is consistently one that sites have been forced to implement and that's how you know it's from payment processor pressure. It isn't a coincidence that these TOS changes all look very similar. It's because it's the same few companies making these sites do it.

CEOs listed in Epstein Files have strong moral opinions against Ageplay

we've never left the "female presenting nipples" era

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

The state of the internet is a bunch of people who are on record as having raped children telling you that artistic expression is immoral.

"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

im going to keep being a freak in the face of the horrors

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

the continuing censorship of sexual content on the internet while the elite class still gets to use banks and credit cards when doing horrible things to children makes it obvious it’s about who has the money, power, and control, and not protecting anyone.
