I repeat again, americans have the most power to challenge these issues. If you have the ability to, you need to challenge them where you can. EU, Canada and elsewhere can only exert portions of the strength americans can in instances these. Please use that power.

gonna need a bigger chaise longue

The current Canadian government is trying to fast track Bill C-9, "the Combatting Hate Act" through Parliament. This bill is an attempt to squash and silence people's legal right to protest and strike. Please take a moment to sign this petition opposing C-9. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

So was this for fucking nothing?

hardcore social control is what all of this is truly about. the death drive of christianity and its fascism cannot be understated.

We need #furry solidarity at this point man. Not just that either. We need solidarity of all artists. It's about the right to be free to make art at this point. #savespeech #saveart #stopcensorship #stoppaypros

#KOSA #paypros People need to go and interrogate these goddamn corporate parasites. People need to push back en mass against this shit. We know that the steam censorship was because of a literal hate group. Same people doing it here. Make DAMN SURE they know you are pulling out, and why.

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.

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

the digitigrade knee thing has the same vibes as people who think a knot is like, a second set of balls

that's a child's understanding of what is supposed to happen though. the value of billionaires isn't in their liquid holdings at all. only a fool thinks that bezos' power is wrapped up in his walking around money, it's CAPITAL, which is cloud services, infrastructure, land and organizations.

Hey, alongside contacting your representatives, this seems like another thing worth putting a bit of your time into and sharing around. If we could get "reputational risk" taken off the table, even in this current climate, that could create a chilling effect on these kinds of policies

Gonna once again point out that everyone has carried around a rectangle containing infinite pornography for the past decade minimum and society didn't dissolve so miss me with any weepy handwringing about smut.

They should've just saved everyone's time and said they're banning nsfw outright lmfao that's everything

From somebody who knew nothing of this to somebody who now calls daily, it took like 30 minutes to learn and takes like 10 minutes a day. Even though I'm barely online anymore due to having lotsa responsibilities, I make the time to do it. Pick up your phone and start makin' trouble for the nazis.

rip to a real one i guess

Subscribestar banned digitigrade furries lol The peeling back of what is "allowed" porn that's been going on for years will continue until nothing is left At least they went after the icky ones first so all the self-unaware prudes here could gloat about it before they were on the chopping block too

to my fellow substar creators: back when my patreon got flagged, they Repeatedly scanned my profile page AND my twitter (because foolishly i had it linked to my patreon) to make sure everything they didnt like got scrubbed they did not ONCE tell me to remove anything from my connected discord server

I think at some point people are going to have to show up outside of the Mastercard HQ with signs and protest this censorship stuff, I feel like there has to be a visible IRL presence where execs work to actually make a dent in this issue

Censorship: banning nazis not censorship: banning sex workers

And you know what I thought that was apparent in how they worded everything. You see they word it in that way to make sure they can flag you and fuck you over for anything including a flat chest or even a body type that’s isn’t curvy. Not every fucking grown up has big tits and a huge ass.

It’s the noose tightening, you don’t have to agree with a fictional anything to understand that the point of this, is that NO ONE WHO DRAWS **ANY** PORN IS SAFE RIGHT NOW. Twisting it to be anything else but what it really is, which is censorship for ANY porn and sex work, is always bad faith.

And before someone makes a bad faith argument about underaged anything, that’s not the fucking point. The point is that it’s such a blurred fucking line that anything they deem reminiscent of “lolisho” is enough to cut someone off. Just so you know that fucking includes smaller chests.

And with that, SubscribeStar will lose a massive chunk of their creators... Congratulations... subscribestar.adult/prohibited_c...

the absolute insanity of the ever tightening restrictions on adult content to "protect children" is that the people pushing these restrictions are actual pedophiles or subscribe to the idea that the age of consent for girls should be 13.

This is the "let's find a Discord alternative" problem all over again... at the end of the day all the alternatives have to adhere to ID verification laws or paypros nonsense. I guess fanbox is an alternative but I'm honestly giving myself a day to figure this out for myself

trying to find a job

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE: -the KIDS Act -KOSA -the Screen Act -Sammy's Law -the App Store Accountability Act And additionally, oppose: -reforming/sunsetting Section 230 -online age verification/ID laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

subscribestar hard at work to remove the only reason to use subscribestar

"I'm glad they finally censored thing I don't like haha" Guess what, thing you like comes next.

With what's going on with Subscribestar, it's a good moment to remind you all of something: Free speech also includes speech you don't agree with, and freedom of artistic expression also includes art you find horrible or disgusting. And if you go: "Yeah I agree! However-" Then you don't agree!

Wow I re-checked SubStar's TOS like two weeks ago when they rolled out the review system and I didn't see any of this shit, so this is one hell of a shadow-drop. I think this actually makes it even more restrictive than Patreon now.

Like I've been callin' at least one person five days a week and blastin' out emails daily since this whole Collective Shout censorship shit kicked off, and I DESPISE DOING BOTH. If I can commit to this, so can y'all.

One day I'll be able to simply not rebleat some dire fuckin' shit and all of my feed will just be cool art and funny videos and fat fuckin' asscheeks and not ~ALL OF THIS~ And you need to call yer representatives to complain directly TO THEM that I cannot yet do that.

There was a pretty obvious point in 2024 where everybody with any **power** in this country decided “let’s get Trump back in office and just give him everything he wants and hope for the best” and, well, here we are

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.

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.

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

So like, there's that. Patreon's TOS is just as convoluted and hyper-specific, but even then, why use SS at all? It sucks as a site. It's buggy, it's UI is dogshit, the integrations constantly fail, post formatting and organizing is bad. So by using it you're just getting a worse experience now.

Was wondering when Subscribestar was gonna cave to paypro pressure lol this sucks

subscribestar banning any explicit depiction of furries without “humanlike knee orientation” is killing me. How did we get here

subscribestar will ban all that but not nazis

Nobody will fight for NSFW art. We're just gonna lose the right to free expression and that will be that. No politician is going to say 'this is wrong" because we've been made into pariahs for having a healthy relationship with our own sexualities. They just gonna throw us all away.

Subscribestar banning digitigrade furries lmfao lmfao

Its been brought to my attention that SubscribeStar has updated its content policies and is now much, much more strict wrt the kinds of content it will host subscribestar.adult/prohibited_c...

I think the worst part about being a porn artist is that 9/10 no other artist community will have your back Now imagine that, and blow it up to ANY type of community, because porn is generally seen as this disgusting thing that should be hated and never consumed Practically illegal in most places

Imagine touting yourself as a platform that's less restrictive to NSFW artists And then in only like a year or two, becoming MORE restrictive than most platforms This is so stupid. Good job SubStar.
