tried to get a new job and I didn't get it. Anything really does help
my job is pretty much quiet firing me because *they* hired too many people and dont want to admit it. I am currently looking for a new job, but in the meantime, if you can help me out in any way I would greatly appreciate it. No obligation.

forcefully editing copyrighted content with no ability to opt out is grounds for a massive lawsuit if any creators wants to be brave enough to fight this.
beyond the copyright thing, it’s potentially damaging to brands AND could get creators in trouble with their in-video advertisers

"how do I explain lesbians to my kids" and "the internet needs to be censored so my stupid kid can be on it" is cut from the same root in that some parents just fucking hate the idea of needing to interact with their kids in any way and want them to just bang on the ipad and shut the fuck up

This is true and nothing at all was done about it. The significant & visible Black figures in the BLM protests were systematically & covertly murdered.
The state police killed the Ferguson protest activist leaders. Every big photo you see of the protests where there's a black activist on the front lines - those activists were murdered later.
This is Edward Crawford. He was murdered after this was taken.

Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!
