There is no "safe" place for niche kinks or darker content until paypros change their policies. This is why the call/letter campaign is so important-- sites like Patreon, Itchio, Steam, etc, have to bend the knee because they companies are SO HUGE and control the entire money flow. It's a mess.

pals you gotta quit spotify

Tapping the sign

Getting and selling porn should be easy like buying anything in life is. We shouldn't be underground because that is what fascism wants. Stand up for porn now or lose most creators you love. Don't let us backslide!

crazy all the websites and paypros are doing their big No Horny Allowed crackdown while every online advertisement now is iether "AI SEX HOT AI CHAT NO FILTER BOOB AI FURRY GIRLFRIEND only for adults ages 6+" or "NPR is now teaming up with Bumfights dot com to revolutionize gamified asset trading"

Alexis is right *and* I think "I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter" should be read much more widely than just transfemmes. It remains incredibly prescient, and it has more to say about personal identity (gender and otherwise) under militant imperialism than some books ten times its length.

i buy songs on bandcamp when im able but My God i sure wish kinda-big-artists would start selling their songs Anywhere. the number of artists that have their songs listed on ONLY spotify/youtube/apple music is sad. let me buy your songs!!!!!!!!

-Sigh- No, Patrick. Thinking about stealing RAM from AI farms because they are destroying our environment in real time is not a thoughtcrime. Please re-read “1984” and come back later.

You can have an opinion as a human being, even if it’s wrong. You can have a preference on dub or sub, and no one can take that away from you. But idiots who demand that dubs should not be a thing are the privileged who would never understand why it’s necessary for a medium.

Need a guide on how to do it? Go here. There’s a script and a super quick way to contact your reps. 5calls.org/issue/kids-o...

Calling my reps for the millionth time about KOSA and the screen act, at least I have my script memorized ATP. I use the 5 calls app to easily find my reps!

Though keep in mind that the Marty McFly piece was created by an actual artist. That's one of the other issues with the use of genAI: actual hard working artists get caught in the crossfire.

KOSA is never about protecting kids. It’s anti-queer and about making sure kids don’t have access to information they need to survive - from health basics to knowing they are not alone and not broken. And it will destroy the internet as we know it.

Working today but please keep up the calls, please. Stress that you're upset you can't buy certain products with your card because the merchant isn't allowed to take the card. If the company says, "ask your bank" tell them you already did or call your bank and make THEM call.

Thinking about this, I feel like some designers believe their game worlds really, truly exist, and so lack game-wide options as an attempt at "realness". But I always felt there's something weird about that belief in the realness of a game, people should be engaging with the game aware it is fiction

hold my hand. I as an ace person give you permission to be ace, to be sex repulsed, to think porn games are icky and yet still believe games with sexual content should exist. it's okay. you're not invalidating yourself by supporting porn games & the people who make them. it's all forms of expression

If you don't get that the "yucky porn games" are the gateway to censor further media that YOU personally think is acceptable, you need to get your head out of your ass. They're trying to divide people into smaller groups so their collective power is also smaller. Kill the cop in your head.

Mastercard is bleeding, get in there. Make some calls. Get some cool family members in on it over thanksgiving

This is your sign btw that you should call Mastercard

Not just a transphobic author, but one who has used 100% of the royalties she gains from the Harry Potter IP to lobby hard against trans rights in the UK, turning it into what we've been calling "Terf Island". If you care about your British trans homies, you may want to sit this season out.

Id you havent been calling your representatives about KOSA and other bills, NOW is the time to start doing so

There were several times during my youth where I blocked people I’d known for MONTHS without warning, just because they were slowly crossing my boundaries and making me uncomfortable. You can ALWAYS block people if they’re making you feel unsafe!! Any reason, any time! Never believe otherwise!!

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

This is what terminal discoholism looks like.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

A thread of some cartoons rejected by The New Yorker:

i always get so many comments that are like "cant believe this horny girl penis sex game made me cry" like why can you not. its by design. your whole gamut of human emotion is being explored to draw you into the story you just are afraid of being sincere that you're fundamentally a sexual creature

ARTISTS! You can DISABLE this feature! Protect yourself and don't assume that you're safe if you're an sfw artist!

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Bluesky has finally, quietly posted a position for a one-year remote contract Policy Lead, Trust & Safety position. Trans people who qualify, apply here: jobs.gem.com/bluesky/am9i... We need someone competent in this role if this place is going to survive.

#3157 A helpful tutorial

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too. We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

So most everyone I know is having a shitty day in some way. While I'm glad I'm not the only one, I am going to spread good energy to as many as I can to recover from any shittiness of the day. If you're having a good one, may it be great! If it's bad, may the week get better.

There are days when you want to start positive, but life decides it wants to be offended by that and make everything around you fucking irritating. Take that day to yourself then because that is bullshit.

Ana decided to call out payment processors and their unilateral response was attempting to fuck up her life and that should be bigger news than it is as of now

I'm not too sure how to say this proper but, I really wish people would stop constantly saying nothing will happen or shitty people won't be punished for what they've done cause something something money or power or whatever. You really should be demanding that, not laying over dead at the thought.

They are DEBANKING a creator who is reporting on the paypro bullshit That is so beyond the pale we should all be concerned

@b0tster.yeag.gay is one of those inspiring artists that make you believe in yourself to achieve such projects through your own hands, since they inspire a lot of people who are doing indie projects wether animation or games, in the age of AI bros there's still hope for human crafted works

Please continue making calls to Visa and Mastercard, because they are working alongside conservative legislators to crack down on free speech and expression! A dual pronged offense requires a dual pronged defense!

NO YOUTUBE, A 14 MINUTE VIDEO IS NOT CALLED A "LONG". THAT'S CALLED A REGULAR, ASS, VIDEO!! IF I WANTED TO WATCH "SHORTS", I WOULD HAVE TYPED IN SHORTS. STOP REDEFINING THE SITE EVERY GOD DAMN WEEK.

If you care about games, I hope you also care about the people who work hard and sacrifice so much to make them... Only to be tossed aside. People Make Games is one approachable way to learn more - this video is about GTA, but check their backlog for more. youtu.be/c9nOwjeznjI?...
