If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

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:

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?

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers.
In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

I'm doing research on NSFW-friendly storefront alternatives, mostly focused on games, but I'm also keeping creators who do books, comics, artbooks, etc. in mind. It sucks to keep packing your bags and moving but I know folks are looking for options.
