Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this #bskycensorship

So I come back from my unofficial hiatus to make a post purely fueled by spite. Don't let a company tell you what you can and can't enjoy as an adult. #bskycensorship #savespeech #supportnsfw

Welp. It sure is interesting how quickly the scheme of things have shifted on here since I first joined. I n t e r e s t i n g. If I didn't have more of a reason to finally post then I do now, and I sure as hell will flood them with protest, even if it's old work. Fuck the new TOS. #BSKYcensorship

When Tumblr banned porn, I deleted everything on my 18+ account. A few days later my entirely SFW account was banned.

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown: 🧵

Fuck censorship, have the knot 🔥 #nsfwart #nsfw #oc #fmp

I drew porn for fun now I'm drawing it for fun and spite

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

NO PORN TO POST? Use the tag #bskycensorship to talk about why this matters and to demand change regardless! Repost nsfw artist work in protest, uplift our voices, and tell others what's going on and why to care! Check the replies on the TOS post for ways to explain: bsky.app/profile/bsky...

Bsky's new TOS says it alone has the power to determine whether a fictional drawing shows consent Demand that they REPEAL this harmful and misguided rule and to give us tools to protect creative freedom instead! Post your porn with the tag #bskycensorship Demand bsky listen to its users

#bskycensorship awful to see yet another website cave its back in on censorship because it cannot handle art where characters dont look at the viewer and explicitly say ‘I Consent’ before fuckin

One reason why I came to bsky from Instagram was that I was tired of only posting sfw drawings and if I didn't, I'd get shadowbanned or worse... Here we have a nice thing called "labels", so every time I click on "show" I consent to viewing nsfw. Why additional censorship? #BskyCensorship

And so, it seems that even BlueSky wants to join the bigoted censorship that reigns supreme on social media. Shame! I'd like to say it surprises me, but... U_u #bskycensorship PS We're not participating in #blueskyblackout2025 ...think the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves. #nsfwart

Even as an artist who doesn't do noncon work, it's still extremely important to protect those who do from this puritanical/prudish censorship! If the policy goes through in October as scheduled, expect a ton of artists to jump ship and/or reduce their posting significantly here. #bskycensorship

So am I allowed to reference the critically acclaimed film classic Alien(1979) on Bluesky or have the goon police decided a franchise built on a metaphor for violent rape and forced impregnation by a creature with a dick for a head is suddenly too much for their modern sensibilities? #bskycensorship

This is absolutely BRILLIANT They didn't listen to our feedback, now we need to ESCALATE Bsky is at 3.4⭐ - let's see how quick we can tank that! Don't know what to write? Copy/paste mine or use it as a starting point! #SaveSpeech #BskyCensorship

i'm against the new TOS because no matter how uncomfortable you are with certain subjects, it's very easy to see how bad-faith interpretations of art could be weaponized, especially against marginalized artists, who are more likely to be targeted for harassment #bskycensorship

and really, I do not believe that everyone needs to "get weirder now," or that everyone needs to "make more nsfw," etc. what I do believe, however, is that everyone should look to those already making that work and sit in dialogue with them. support their work, substantiate their humanity.

taking a stance against simulated "non consent" in porn is idiotic and leads always to having some dipshit appointed to arbitrarily decide what acts between adults "can't be consented to," and therefore can't be depicted. I'll give you a hint: they will be gay.

you can spin literally any sexual image as noncon or dubcon if someone dislikes you enough and wants your account banned. that will only be used as another tool ppl can use for harassment, not keeping blsky a sexually safe space

how I feel trying to explain to normies why nsfw ban and censorship is bad and why they should care

I did NSFW comms for yrs, verified every muse was 18+. Hurray for me I have boundaries. That means JACK SHIT. We are all the same to people who want porn gone. Thinking you are better than others only helps those who want BOTH you & your fellow porn makers/consumers shut down. Punch up not down.

I'm sorry but with all the terrifying shit going on in the real material world, my patience for people that get scared of fiction and treat it like a real threat is at an all-time-low.

SoOoo...I've had this account for literally almost a year and have left it empty, but it's always hard having to build from the ground up 👉👈 I hope to reengage with this community again and just...create, I really do miss it. So, time to finally christen this place with some old OC art! 💞

So, I've survived the mass exodus from the devil site!🙌 I'm Stormy, it's a little intimidating trying to build ANOTHER place for our type of content, but the fresh start also feels...really nice. I'm excited to reunite with old friends in the community and meet new ones! We got this!✨
