Addendum:

Also, what about stories where highlighting the abusive aspect of an interaction *is the point*? Not every depiction of nudity or sex is something you're meant to get off to. Does that content and those stories just no longer have a place on this site?

You can accuse people of slippery slope fallacy or being needlessly pedantic, but these are questions that don't have clear answers. The reality is that there isn't actually a way to enforce a rule like that without creating an incredibly wide grey area that has a lot of people concerned.

no one has an unchanging “i explicitly consent to this” smile on their face at all times during sex.

sometimes your face might even look like you’re feeling agony, when you’re actually feeling the total opposite!

no one can know what’s happening in someone’s head merely from an image.

How do you expect to moderate this consistently? Namely, how do you expect to discern if some fictional characters are consenting?

Kink frequently *appears* to be non-consensual, it's one of the reasons there are 'safe words' worked out during some activities.

You are setting up a chilling effect.

YouTube will soon start asking some users for ID to watch videos. Here are some free / open-source alternatives you can use instead.

lampert bag finished! kid is v happy. idk where i got the floral, the pink lining is a bed sheet that ripped. am i really going on a trip if i’m not emergency sewing right before we leave? #regretevator

The Online Safety Act.

MP's are making you pay so they can dodge it.

Absolutely ridiculous, this 'Online Safety Act' needs to go.

NOW

Banning games that deal with rape and incest means banning art that tries to process those experiences. How do you deal with works supposedly "glorifying" these themes? You give players a heads-up, and you don't engage with these works if you don't want to

Collective Shout admits on Facebook that they pressured payment processors into destroying the livelihoods of game makers because their games made the group feel icky

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab.

Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls.

If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

The game without sexual content of any type, the game about sexual assault, too adult for visa or mastercard too stomach. Because Visa and Mastercard and payment processors consider discussing the impacts of sexual assault to be tantamount to pornography, which is a loaded fucking implication.

This framing exists because the decision is instantly obvious as one of the legal atrocities of US history, like Dred Scot, the 1870s Civil Rights Cases, Korematsu. The Times doesn’t want to say “The Supreme Court stripped rights out of law” so instead it says “Here’s why they did it to themselves”

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine.

It's the same court and lawyers.

Infamously Valve have said the best way to fight piracy is to make your legitimate platform better and easier than the alternatives, a lesson seemingly no other platform in any medium has managed to learn

christnarr pride yay #madnesscombat #christnarr

old drawing thats still kinda cool (madness combat fanart)

i hate this piece of rhetoric that trans mens masculinity somehow plays no part in how we're treated. its deeply disheartening to see it said so confidently when from my and many of my brothers lived experiences, its simply not the case.

A moment, a love

Been practicing with traditional pencil drawings again, I have a bunch more I haven't shared but it's been so nice to stretch some old muscles I haven't used in a while
