I have been suppressing a blood boiling rage to grab some people by the shoulders and go
"You really think what happened to me
Happened to me
Because of cartoons?"
Absolute poison in my lungs.

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work!
Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too.
That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

Pretty much all of the folks online that scream and shout about "inappropriate art" are in no way actually engaging with any real issues at hand. They only care abot that flash-in-the-pan moment of engagement they get when their little bait posts start doing numbers.

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time.
it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.

The unsavvy talk about furries like they're some hypersexual excretion of modernity, but drawing animal-people is one of the top 10 neolithic human activities. It's up there with collecting berries and producing clay figures of fat women.

I think this is one of the reasons why so many big corporate accounts haven't moved here. They can't monetize it, there's not even a way to pay for ads to get their stuff seen, and the algos will not help them (yay!). And if you are Adobe we will kick your teeth off.
I saw a post of an author complaining that they weren't making any sales here and would leave if they couldn't.
Here's the thing. No one's here to follow people who ONLY talk about and push sales. This is not a sales site. We're not here to be advertised to. This place is for community, first.
