Some experiments with chalk from my figure drawing class!

I drew some Sterling Hundley-flavored gulls this weekend

The more non-exploitative content that gets reported, censored, and filtered, the harder it is to locate and help actual child (and adult) victims. And here’s the hard truth. That’s what fascists want. Abuse and trafficking are literally tools of power that our world *thrives* on. They exploit.

Censoring, and especially making noncon/underage art illegal also literally endangers victims. When antis report artwork, where no real person is experiencing trauma, it clogs moderation teams. NCMEC and other orgs don’t care about art. It doesn’t identify real kids. It doesn’t stop predators.

No more cautionary tales in comics. No more GoT-style relationships that lead to discussions around ethics and consent. No more survivor-made media about their experiences. Censorship silences seeing *bad* relationships in media and debating, learning from, or relating to them in a healthy way too!

Stop exploiting survivors’ language to make points about morality. It’s beyond unethical to use us like that. Also, censorship means no media with child abuse or trafficking narratives can be created and that’s dangerous! People forget this ban doesn’t just impact erotic art. It’s everything!

If we call art, no matter how gross, CSAM, then it removes power from actual survivor-victims. That is *our* term. That is what we went through. Uncomfortable art, no matter the intent is *not* the same. No one was traumatized to make that image. It’s like how “triggered” was taken away from PTSD.

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work! Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too. That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

Ok, we “saved” Jimmy Kimmel. Now can we bring that same energy to migrants, trans people, BIPOC and women? Or are we just reserving that for rich white guys?

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this #bskycensorship

It is important to me that we all know and understand that our views on who would top/bottom or dom/sub between Jayce and Viktor are entirely headcanons shaped by our personal preferences. Like Jayce and Viktor did not look into the camera and tell us what they were like in bed.

"once upon a time, there was a princess"

really not sure why it's so desperately important to insert consent (of all things) into an intangible nonreal space. fiction is already the fantasy. it's defined by its border. like actually grow up lol

what fucks me up about the Bluesky TOS update is fucking every adult creator i know wants MORE labels and filter options. we WANT more granular control over the labels and spoilers we can put on our work so people who want to curate their timeline to avoid us CAN DO SO

Hands study 🤝

rewatching one of the few netflix shows i really fw heavy (dark) and having… so many thoughts about jayvik’ing it… *shaking with the failing attempts of containing it*

Honestly, the best way to make an artist’s day is by being very specific about what you like about a piece. Geek out a lil. Gush over how they use line, color, texture. Every mark is layed down by the artist, so if you can connect with those little moments, it helps the artist feel seen.

A comic about CNC kink I've been thinking about for a few years, and I finally decided to sit down and make it.

Bro you can’t give up. You were born in a world that has onions AND garlic. You gotta hang in there it's worth it

also lost my pinned and too lazy to go back to find it so i’ll just have to make a new one eventually or pin sumn else idk

really appreciate how much my theatre professor is focusing on teaching about impact of/history of fascism. in theatre as well as like it’s prevalence in our current situation. it’s been refreshing breaking away from the mostly performative constraints of LEG shit for the open criticism in the arts

i did decide to come back upon reflection & discussions surrounding the fact that a blackout isnt as good of an approach as loud and spiteful resistance

No time lapse this time, but here's a close-up

as a fan of noncon, dubcon and under/non-negotiated cnc this is honestly one of the most straightforward explanations of this i've ever read?

This platforms moderation is currently unable to tell the difference between artistic/non-sexual nudity and explicit pornography How do you expect them to be able to differentiate between consensual and non-consensual?

Debating people's right to exist is how we get the genocide in Occupied Palestine. Israelis debated Palestinians' right to exist and decided the answer was no. You know who wasn't consulted? Palestinians. Funny how that happens when we debate people's rights like that.

almost caught up with cloudward ho so i can be insane about it alongside everyone else when the next ep drops

For it was you #jayvik #arcane

it should go without saying but if you want users to voluntarily tag their art then you need to not threaten to ban them if they do. like, you can either have a well-regulated, easily-filtered art ecosystem or you can ban art you don’t like and see it come oozing back out of every crack and crevice
