it's disingenuous to talk about men not getting laid as a societal problem without recognizing that, for manosphere men, sex is not about meeting physical or emotional needs, it's a masculinity performance. they prescribe a particular kind of sex that no one wants to have. patriarchy is the problem.

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.”

Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

There needs to be a way for others to communally add alt text onto posts - accessibility relying on individual responsibility is just not great

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.

we can beat them

The Tesla diner is unfortunately in my neighborhood so I took a little peek to see boxes of milk and frozen foods out in the heat. Good luck to everyone’s stomachs.

Even if you don't purchase smut, it should be common sense that the right for anyone else to obtain it shouldn't be completely up to modern day crusaders and credit card payment processors.

Something I think very important is that even if you're not a creator of NSFW art (as I am not), you still have to stand with the sex workers and NSFW creators because they'll come for you too eventually.

There's a direct line from "no kink at Pride" and "no sex in movies and books unless it Serves The Plot" to payment processors feeling completely empowered to censor art globally

“Nobody loved the library more than Dan.”

A meticulous list kept by Dan Pelzer from 1962-2025, cataloging all the books he borrowed and read from the Columbus Metropolitan Library, shared by his daughter.

I could not could not love this more.

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

Don't be fooled by her modesty; she's absolutely right.

On top of looking like garbage, reading like garbage, having nothing of value to offer, damaging the ability to think and problem solve, stealing from artists, and harming the environment, gen A I is also the road of cowards.
This meme has been going around. lol I've altered it but I think it's what I'm kinda getting at. And I think maybe this is where the argument "it's making art accessible" kinda has its roots, imo of course. You can avoid the cringe and get results. Anyway, I'm just musing. I'm not a psychologist.

Incredibly excited to be a part of this! 🖤

In my short story, you'll find complicated teenage girlhood, the cult of celebrity and a lot of broken glass.
