to where? it feels like viable alternatives are drying up. bsky *was* my alternative

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.

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.

who determines that? how do people know theyve crossed the line with the amount of tears falling from someones eyes? will you be spelling it out, or leaving it up to a random moderator to decide whether or not its Acceptable? either way, its a seriously worrying precedent to set for artists

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

i like watching hair styling videos for hair types im studying. helps me conceptualize it a little more i guess.

i also used to draw tbe braiding process and steps

id definitely look forward to a larger piece about this kinda stuff. its difficult to navigate online woth short replies and statements having to be so contained lol

-is punished and met with violence from racist systems. and as much as growing up an autistic girl in special education fucked me up due to infantilisation, i still remember how the boys my age who acted the same were met with more distrust and rhetoric about how they were dangerous and intimidating

i think its a lot more nuanced for cis men aswell. a look of these masculine ideals are rooted in colonisation and other bigotries, and you see it in how minority men are often treated. i cant speak super in depth but theres a wealth of writing about black cis men about how their masculinity-
