the word "twink" shouldnt have left the gay lexicon

Sorted my thoughts about censorship, so I can stop thinking about it.

the thing about bluesky is that it sucks but a social media site that doesn't work is still better than twitter

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

so fucking tired of all of us having our freedoms destroyed so we can parent these kids on behalf of their fucking parents

It is extremely cool and good that trans people exist.

if only someone could have warned us of exactly this

The new social media ban in Massachusetts is so sweeping in its definition of "social media" that it would require age-verification for Wikipedia. You don't protect kids by cutting off resources. acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:...

The two truths: 1) There is nothing wrong with porn, let people safely make it, let people safely enjoy it. 2) If you let people define porn as bad, authoritarians will ALWAYS expand the definition until their hands are around your neck.

If you let them ban porn, they will call you pornographic when they ban you.

"Despite promises that age-verification laws would simply prevent minors from accessing adult sites, a majority of sexual health professionals say the laws are threatening sex education and other resources." www.woodhullfoundation.org/press-releas...

Democratic voters: “Please, just oppose Republicans. That’s all we want. Stop the fascism.” Democratic politicians: “What if we make you upload your government ID to read websites?” Worse than worthless.

Mind you bluesky was shading X on X about adding AI tools 5 months ago

sweaty gay sex

Happy trans day of visibility 🏳️‍⚧️ here's your reminder that I'm not a safe person to share your transphobia with ✨

“What you made with Sora mattered” is the funniest sentence in the world. No it didn’t you losers. Nothing you did mattered. It’s all garbage made from garbage. Reveling in your loss today. Eat shit and hair about it

I'm tired of shit work ethics in the gaming industry and this push of AI tech or any of that matter. WHY is being rich and capitalistic more important than the development of humanity and culture I ask myself this EVERY DAY probably till the day I die. Eat the rich, period.

Fantasy is getting way too mormon coded all of a sudden, sanderson's window plan prose, DNDs pathetic art style and cultural practices, everything going on with popular romantasy. we need to make it fucked up, illogical, and transexual again. At least catholicism was theatrical; tolkien and wolfe.

Beefy sweaty guys who are proud of the smell of their ass are so fucking hot 🥴🐽

Feels like an anti furry movement with everything happening as of late. PayPals being deactivated, subscribestar, telegrams being deactivated, etc. Just feels targeted. Like I know we're in the midst of a full facist transition but it feels too specific to furries rn

not to be annoying, but people need to understand, a big reason paypros are emboldened to impose their bullshit puritan morals on everyone is because of who's in the White House. businesses have zero restrictions and they're run by fascists who want icky queers to not exist. politics matter. sorry

The internet I remember would post furry porn and copyright infringing material and fucking anything they wanted anywhere they damn well pleased and if you got banned or terminated you would just do it over again. I feel like everyone got way more pathetic and forgot how to actually fight & disobey

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

This speaks for itself

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.

SubStar walking back their new rules against feral/furry porn is not a win and shouldn't be considered one. They're hoping y'all take that and don't care about all the other harmless (but taboo) stuff they have banned since you get to keep your furry yiff.

NSFW Artists being attacked on all fronts while the government actively protects pedos is fucking nuts and shouldn't be ignored.

Maybe bc I grew up in the 00s when the internet was barely censored at all but I learned to mind my own damn business and leave others alone, it’s not real. There are ACTUAL pedo rapists in power with physical evidence of it and ppl are focusing on taboo fiction?? I can’t take it here

Reminder that the only time Mastercard has flinched is when outrage was directed at them. Attacking platforms like SubscribeStar for Visa/Mastercard's extralegal censorship is exactly the deflection they want.

They've just removed most of this segment about the types of anthros that are allowed, but this wasn't some fluke. Those rules were carefully typed. It's just waiting in the wings now. The puritan payment processors still hold the reins and they can do whatever they like. Don't get too comfortable.

ALSO PARDON THE FUCK FUCK OUTTA ME, but I don't think the whole "porn addiction" and "gooner" discourse appearing at the same time as payment processors applying the squeeze is a fuckin COINCIDENCE.

What's worse is that porn has become an umbrella term for them. That means they'll label anything pornographic and ban it. Like actual human beings (what the LGBT community, us has warned for YEARS)!

"Ban artists who draw that kind of content, they're gross." The amount of ground we ceded to conservatives just to maintain our own moral high ground...

The whole point of defending the right for uncomfortable, or even reprehensible fiction to have the right to exist isnt that its all cool and nothing is ever wrong with it Its that government/corpo organizations will NEVER look at things with the """nuance""" you think is so self evident

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).

I can't stand how these subscription platforms keep censoring their users to appease prudish puritans

Friendly reminder self-reported “porn addiction” is correlated with personal guilt over using porn, statistics suggest self-identifying “porn addicts” are actually consuming porn at a relatively normal rate — they just feel uniquely bad about it due to their religious values

this is the best website that sucks

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

My children and I are dying here in Gaza 💔 No one hears us, and we haven’t received any donations for over a month 😔 We are in desperate need of your help 🙏 Please help me by sharing our story I just need to be able to feed my children at least 🥺 Link support 🙏 chuffed.org/project/ahme...
