please don’t comply with silence re #blueskyblackout2025. i know it sucks so bad to see nsfw art being driven away on every platform imaginable, but blackouts aren’t an effective way to protest

An article everyone participating in #blueskyblackout2025 should read:

www.newstatesman.com/science-tech...
This is where most social media boycotts go wrong: they fail to realise that silence on a platform is nothing but silence. While the campaign surrounding the boycott may do some of the work they hope to achieve or the problems they hope to reveal, leaving a platform and cutting off a voice advocating for change simply means that voice stops being heard. The effective part isn’t leaving – it’s the conversation. When people posted nothing but black squares on Instagram, users stopped talking about institutional racism; when public figures left Twitter for two days over the Wiley anti-Semitism row, users spent the weekend talking about anything else This effort becomes even more futile when accounts eventually return, thereby reinforcing the idea that, regardless of how the platform responds – or fails to respond – to the boycott, people will continue to use it as they did before. Returning to sites lets social media giants off without any repercussions, killing momentum and incentivising platforms to merely wait the boycott out. While the intentions of boycotts may be positive, we have to ask: what do these organisations think will happen? That their temporary silence, with an end date scheduled from the start, will yield major changes or subdue abusive users? It’s easy to carry out light-touch boycotts, pat ourselves on the back and act as though we have made an impact. But by viewing this ineffective form of protest as useful action, we move further away from the opportunity to make real change.

Fetch Quest Remastered, an updated version of my comedy/otome VN about a TTRPG session gone wrong is coming out later this year!

It's longer, has new art/CGs/UI, and a new "true" end that leads into a sequel (also releasing soon!)

Wishlist it now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2553660/
A screenshot of Connor, Dan, and Todd wearing fantasy outfits and standing in a medieval tavern. In the textbox, Flora says "I rolled an 18. That's pretty good, right?" A screenshot of a zoomed in CG. Wrapped in a red cloak, Flora rests her head on Connor's shoulder. She is looking up at him and blushing. In the textbox, she says "Huh...?" A screenshot showing Todd smiling smugly while some random villagers look on. In the textbox, Todd says "Eh-hem. Well then, perhaps you've wondered 'Is it possible to perform magic while also playing kazoo?'" A screenshot showing a player choice. In the textbox, Flora says "If connor doesn't see me stealing, it should be fine, right?". The choices presented are "Roll a perception check." and "It's too risky."

I suspect that my features of @queergamesbundle.bsky.social stuff is likely to *not* get the number of impressions I'd normally get on YT, so sharing the link to my vod now! Four today (including three by @qkayoo.bsky.social ) and likely another three or four on Friday
