Do NOT believe the misinfo going around There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates Most notably: 1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon 2) No "dangerous" kink 3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational" So what can we DO about it? #SaveSpeech 1/🧵

As a porn artist I'm not asking the SFW crowd to be into the freaky shit we're onto. Everyone has boundaries. But an effort to understand this world would be appreciated. Talk to sex workers. ask them about their experiences in the industry. Work WITH us to create a safer internet.

Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.

Even if they don't enforce it, the sword of Damocles over the head is not a healthy and fun feeling.

We have content warnings for a reason. So that the viewer can CONSENT to the art being presented. Make the site safer by giving us the tools to properly tag our art for other people's consideration. Not banning it outright. I miss Cohost

They have this button on the right hand column that in addition to public shaming, lets you shame them in other useful ways

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: 🧵

Do not thank us when the community that built you is being stab in the back by these ghoulish decisions.

Forgot to post todays Mogal, it seems a tad lacking in views then others, I swear I am never sure what ticks for YT to actually send these out but as long as it gets 15k views I always consider it a win in my heart. youtu.be/KJaHt_rRBEE?...

#SaveSpeech Extremely happy to confirm that Europe's 'Chat Control' has successfully been BLOCKED. While there is a good chance this proposal may be brought up again in the future, for now folks, celebrate this dub! fightchatcontrol.eu#member-states

I sincerely hope this is merely a technical reason but if I hear another subscribetstar account suffering this I will be even more mad.

hey speaking of fighting back against censorship: Michiganders, start calling/writing/faxing/in-person bothering your state reps about this!

Whenever a Cat is involved in a Mogal 80% likely I want to do it as fast as I can. The call is strong, and a like and watch to help it is also good if ya can spare! www.youtube.com/watch?v=auSf...

New Mogal dub today! Last dub did get a bit more reach! So any help for todays would go nicely if you give a peek and a like. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPyZ...

So relatable, when you're big, you wish you were... even bigger. 😔 (4/4)

If you're in the states, the Better Business Bureau is your friend

Oh my gosh, getting in touch with the BBB WORKED. PayPal is restoring my account and I should have access to my money again. If you are in the US or deal with the US PayPal and your account is randomly, without warning, and without explanation closed down, file a complaint with the BBB!

Last weeks Mogal Dub did very nicely in reach, this one todays is a bit lack but that could be because of youtube. So give a watch and a like if you can, and spread it around! youtu.be/8cNk_cwf0mw?...

Jucika Receives Love Letters

New Mogal dub for today! A like and comment goes a long way if you have the time! youtu.be/xuUBJgOcI0I

We seem to have it in our heads that the term "Sexually Gratifying" is negative when it's really not! Yes, art can be sexually gratifying. Yes, sexually gratifying art has artistic value! We should all be able to indulge in our sweets after a hearty meal! stop-paypros.neocities.org #SaveSpeech

Posting today's comic dub to help its reach! I hope to help it recover from the problems of the bot thefts. Leave a like if you can. <3 youtu.be/jqrrE523sOs

I gotta say this is the most action I've ever seen from this community! The phonecalls, the petitions, the news coverage - Youtubers ranting about it. It just feels good to see everyone care and work together! We live in frustrating times, but we continue to help each other push forward!

It’s sad that the discussion around pornography is always framed as “it’s potentially harmful.” It’s also potentially healthy? What did you learn about yourself, your body, your gender, your preferences, your boundaries and your self expression through the smut you consume?

Ah fun, more vague ToS wording that puts 80% of art at risk. BlueSky is asking for feedback. We should ask them for a bit of clarity! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Whole point of coming here was to be twitter without the baggage, these new policy's are EVEN WORSE BAGGAGE. Stop trying to put guidelines to fiction that severely restrict creators, they give us so many tags and options to work with for a reason but now it feels like they are embarrass to have them

the usual vagueness is present here that is usually a bad sign to come for adult content. bluesky is taking feedback on the guidelines at this link below. Let them know these are not satisfactory docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... points that need addressing are: [cont]

While i hesitate to say this was OUR doing, as japanese adult sites have been fighting their own battles here for a while now, this IS proof that these big payment processors can be made to reverse course on adult content They can bleed. We can do this.

Adult games have *never* received so much mainstream press before, and it's reaching many players for the first time. We can come out of this healthier than ever, but we gotta work for it. Do your dailies!

Reminder: Seeing evidence that the pushback is working is not a reason to step back and declare victory, it's a reason to ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ᴄᴀʟʟɪɴɢ!

With the censorship of games it now extends into all media with sex appeal. It is time to #rocktheboat ゲームの検閲は、今や性的魅力のあるあらゆるメディアにまで及んでいます。#rocktheboat の時が来ました。

Great idea. Mastercard DID NOT WANT to be brought up negatively in the context of their sponsorship of Riot's esports Weaponize that against them

CONGRATS SOLDIER, we've hit 2 weeks of solid #SaveSpeech pressure! Youre doing a great job! Reward yourself! And keep on calling/mailing! stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money www.congress.gov/members/find...

A reminder not to let the National Center On Sexual Exploitation's official-sounding name fool you: they're the rebranded busybody group "Morality In Media", whom you might remember from such hits as "Trying to have Life Of Brian pulled from theatres" and "trying to connect queerness to mass murder"

ITS WORTH NOTING THAT NCOSE IS NOT SOME OFFICIAL GOVT ORG OR WHATNOT, THEY ARE A REBRANDED CHRISTIAN FASCIST GROUP

Also, when you talking against the age-verification laws you should point you the Tea app's data breach how it happened and how it will effect the women who had their identity leaked and how they are setting things up for that to happen on a massive scale.

I called my rep (Blue district). Mentioned the KOSA and the SCREEN act, how it's censorious and even a National Security threat, citing Social Security leaks He said that they've gotten hundreds of calls about KOSA (nice) but they didn't hear about the SCREEN act since it's "not bi-partisan." 🤔

The script to oppose KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) AKA The Big Bullshit Censorship Bill is now up on @5calls.org We’ve already seen the results of this over the last few days in the U.K. with their Online Safety Act (OSA). Let’s make sure it dies off again. Call your reps ☎️

Going to be doing my calls today, but hey new Modern Mogal dub today! A like and share would help this series out. youtu.be/Z7gs1_8Ac9U?...

You hear that guys? All lawful purchases are allowed! We're just not allowing the ILLEGAL stuff like...dark romance V-Novels? This ain't adding up. These companies are playing damage control now. Don't Stop Calling! More official statements only brings up more questions! stop-paypros.neocities.org

For those who don't use Twitter anymore, the community pretty much said they are lieing do to Steam and Itchio wording and history of JP shenanigans. This only fuels my need to call more.

if you are concerned with the situation with VISA/Mastercard/etc forcing Steam and Itch to censor 18+ games, please take a look at this and consider taking a few minutes out of your day to call. #censorship #consumerrights

Let's Keep Calling!

Newgrounds' approach to verifying age is interesting and transparent.

Todays dub where this shines really how everyone is feeling about recent events. Art made by @mrpecu.bsky.social and @rinnytanart.bsky.social with her lovely voice. Call them, gum the lines. (B Sky version!)

A PayPal call center supervisor said they actually completely agree with me. They said that if enough people call PayPal they would be forced to take notice. I explained the Patreon/Itch/Steam situation and they said they're a creative themselves & that they hope the situation improves. CALL THEM

You didn't think we'd forget about you two, did you? All payment processors get love! :) While Mastercard and Visa are drowning, these two have been feeling a bit neglected. u_u stop-paypros.neocities.org #SaveSpeech

As someone who used to work call centers for a decade , the weary sigh one is pretty normal but those other three? Holy shit. That's, like... surreal. Call centers are massive hardasses about politeness. I'd have been fired on the spot mid-call if I suggested a customer was doing anything illegal.

MasterCard and Visa stock are down today
