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: 🧵

Someone give this brilliant book to the puritanical angry moms who bullied payment processors into all but banning porn games. The reason we even have online payment processors is BECAUSE OF SEX WORK. It was invented to pay for porn!

Seriously, I hate saying "just do the things" because it feels redundant and reductive, but... This is really it. You just need to stop saying"what if" and start putting in the work. It might take a while - but once it's done, you'll have learned skills to make your next attempt faster and better.

This thread drove me nuts. I also wish shoujo manga was more popular, but this is almost entirely misinformation and weeb logic. There were only ever a handful of best sellers in the US. The JPN market also consolidated around shonen. Most of what got published during the boom DID NOT SELL.

If you want an AMAZING postmortem of what happened during the great anime/manga crash of '08, listen to the early ANNCast episodes, particularly 2009 - early 2012. Justin Sevakis and Zac Bertschy brought together a ton of figures from across the industry to talk about PRECISELY how shit went down.

"Contains this element, therefore 'Bad' is the kind of unthinking and robotic moralizing that I usually expect from an arch Conservative... This time [it's] disguised in 21st c. leftist therapy speak and it's ruining the way we look at and interpret art" THANK YOU QUEEN, THIS VIDEO IS EXCELLENT

Palestinians are already saying that no food or aid is allowed in & they’re terrified of yet another manufactured famine. With water being their only main resource left, they are doubling down on the genocide and taking away electricity prevents anyone from immediately reporting on what’s happening

Gotta point out (again) the empowerment conversation is silly. 90% of sex workers don't talk about being empowered. They talk about being employed. Empowerment doesn't pay bills. Money does. Sex workers work for the same reasons as everyone else- It costs money to be alive.

I said this on the thread but I do also think publishers & licensers have some degree of fault for this perception. This guy did bad research! But it’s not like Viz (et al) haven’t pushing 13-35 y/o dudes as the primary anime audience in the US since tween girls got them shelf space at Borders.

Anyone doubting that the puritanical wave has already stated in online book communities. Heads up fellow Aro/Ace folks who complain about having sex and romance in media, these people are not our allies. This is thinly veiled Christofascist CompHet.

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."

Literally none of you are capable of doing that. None of the people claiming you should be able to publicly bash random hobbyists for not being pro-quality are atually capable of offering valid critique or useful feedback. Why would I take writing advice from ignorant rude strangers?

I think Akira is a heavy weight in the most fashionable in Shoujo category. I think she could square off with Rei Kashino from Mars.

Since I know there’s overlap but not a ton between shoujo sky and the
#LolitaFashion
folks— Takahashi Macoto, a pioneer of shoujo manga, passed away today (11/19/24) at the age of 90, after a fight with cancer. We know him from his classic covers for GLB featuring his iconic big starry eyes.

But it's farcical to on one hand be very proactive about moderating grey area expression around young-looking cartoon characters and then be very restrained, free speech maximalist about the guy whose entire existence is guiding harassment and doxxing towards terrorizing trans people.
