HOW TO LET BSKY KNOW THEIR POLICY CHANGES HARM ARTISTS: A GUIDE FOR MOBILE USERS! 🧵 Sending feedback is SUPER easy, and takes just a few clicks! 1. Open the left tab menu, and click that "feedback" button 2. Put your concern in the box. I'll copy paste a script to use! (CONT.)

Also no, not liking porn or whatever kink doesn't make you a puritan or whatever (also not everyone is a westerner/protestant etc.) and the fight here is not the stupid antis vs. proshipper discourse, it's to not allow Bsky and other forms of authority to censor art and expression.

Hey fun character design tip for comic artists that I just discovered because I made a character and then drew a comic to be read right to left (Japanese) and noticed that I rarely if at all saw that character's right side b/c they often face and move towards the direction of reading/panels.

So I have a thing on my Patreon that I do called "Soft 'n Sweet" and I post little sketches and drawings through the month, and one month I thought it'd be cute to draw Baby Jester and Baby Beau getting up to shenanigans, so here it is finally inked and colored. #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleart

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

If you were a webcomic artist trying to make the next Berserk, Watchmen, Sin City, Skydoll, Blacksad - basically any acclaimed adult comic you can think of - there are dwindlingly few places you can independently publish that online

I just think that people should know what they're in for if they sign up

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout: -submitting a feedback request -@ing moderation about it -commenting on mods posts about it -making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker) -leaving an app store review -just generally posting about it

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

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's Walt Disney's testimony to HUAC in 1947, where he named employees he believed were communists, condemned labor unions, and accused "commie" groups, including the League of Women Voters, of smearing him. 🗃️ archive.org/details/walt...

So he keeps ripping his own scab off which means he's getting bandaged and given a cone and has to stay inside until Thursday, his next appointment. Poor buddyyyy T_T But yeah, that means more vet trips, so if you have a bit to spare and wanna contribute to the Tom leg fund, ko-fi.com/triaelf9

We call it 'terrain' but yes they have houses. Unfortunately most of them are ruins. Because of the wars.

Lenin Riefenstahl had a scheduled visit to Hollywood, but the Nazis did Kristallnacht the week befofe her trip, so everyone boycotted her EXCEPT WALT, who gave her a whole day long tour of his studio (although he wouldn't show her new work because the projectionists might realize what was happening)

Oh thank goodness, the blob human in the illustration about to die in a vampirically sexy way consents. Thank goodness. #bskycensorship

I'm so tired of this puritanical bullshit. Sex is healthy, sex fantasies are healthy, fiction is healthy. I wish people would stop conflating BDSM and fiction with assault. People have fantasies about power. That's normal! Exploring feeling via stories is what humans do!

#Animorphs fans, I'm very happy to share that the first three books in the series are being rereleased next May with brand new covers. 🧊🦎 You can learn more here: thenerddaily.com/animorphs-by... Cover artist: @creepcaptain.bsky.social Book design: Cassy Price and Christopher Stengel at Scholastic

just sent my programming submission out, the form is v easy!! so if u have an idea give it a go 👩‍💻 also here to say i am open to be on panels 👀

🚨UPDATE: In response to the boycott that erupted over the weekend, Disney decided to update the cancellation process on their website, making it MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEIR SUBSCRIBERS TO STOP GIVING THEM MONEY. This underhanded strategy hasn’t retained customers as they hoped.

Okay now I need to see Warhammer polly pockets... XD

To me, the issue is that you cannot apply the concept of consent to fiction because consent requires consciousness. Fiction is not conscious. The characters do not actually exist. So how is there any determination of consent? Bsky has not defined this in the ToS update. #bskycensorship

Re: TOS changes. Only allowing mental health stories that are positive is perpetuating the gross trend of only supporting mental health issues when it's palatable & sanitized All this does is stigmatize the ones who are still battling or don't have happy endings, that want understanding over inspo

Bluesky is a wonderful place that has flourished in large part because of its artists and intolerance towards facists/Nazis. The Updated policy currently going into effect Oct 15 could fuck that up and we should be very vocal about it. Here are some specific things to mention in feedback (THREAD)

Y’all it’s Claudia #IWTV birthday and the last day of #BIPOCVampDay - gimme those Claudia cosplays and art please. I want to see my darling girl. 😌 #bvd25

Let's respond to hate with love. Let's respond to love with big love. To those who are anti-transgender, Chiitan isn't asking you to understand transgender people. I ask that you quietly watch over us. Transgender people just want to be happy with the people they love🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Like many of the very real Gaza civilians on Bluesky, my dear friend Tasneem's accounts here are constantly deleted. They all rely on our direct donations to survive. Please give to Tasneem, so she can feed her family and escape Gaza, and to others. Any amount helps. ❤️ 🙏 tinyurl.com/Tasneemo

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

It's a blast playing Katamari Damacy now that I live in Japan bc before it was like "ah, I'm in Japan"when playing but now it's like "omg I eat that food" or "ahah it's the election candidate boards" Knowing full context makes it easier to guess weight of things too lol XD

i will concede that if you want to influence other people addicted to X, X is worth using. but if you want to influence the actual public, text-based social media is a fool's errand.

I will day this, the Disney Adults have proven themselves much more ready to meet this moment than any Harry Potter Adult has.

Hi! We're an association of almost 2,000 cartoonists from across the globe. We've been trying to get in contact with you about your upcoming policy changes for some time now! Please get back to us via email or let us know who else we could talk to in a timely manner.

Almost inevitably, a white liberal pundit who finds a way to “hear out” or “find commonalities” with white supremacists eventually starts saying depraved shit. I need to understand why that’s not the last strike for white people that it is for Black political observers.

Hey what about vampires tho. That's not very full of consent either, sucking blood and all that.

This is a BAD idea from a tactical pov all this means is an issue that bsky mods do NOT want controversy around will have NO posting about it for a full week a large number of people who come back from the "blackout" will likely not start up the complaints again it hamstrings the cause

No. Be loud. They want us to be silent. Also maybe listen to the nsfw artists begging you not to do a blackout & instead fight this loud & as vocal as you can be, especially if you say you wanba do this for those artists.
