NCOSE takes a swing. As I predicted, they're a key player in all of this. They've been obsessed with Steam since 2018, when Steam actually opened the door to adult content after NCOSE tried to get a ton of visual novels (like HuniePop) pulled

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

One of the dumbest times I went viral on Twitter was for a thread about this and there were creepy people in my mentions for days. So: fun fact, the average age of a bride on her first marriage in 18th-century England was 26.
Sigh.

Squicky people on the internet are at it again about the alleged old days of teen and tween brides, so this is my cue to bring out the graph showing that the median age for first marriage in the US has never been below 20 for the woman from 1890 to the present.

This bill is a true nightmare - ICE given endless resources to kidnap and imprison, guts Medicaid, thousands of deaths, destroys green energy - call your senator right now and tell them you do not want this bill, ESPECIALLY if they’re a Republican.

Senate switchboard - (202) 224-3121
Trump's Tax Scam is a disaster.

We need GOP senators’ phones to be ringing off the hooks: indivisible.org/reso...

Forty years of having people relentlessly say “what if government did nothing for anyone” instead of asking if it can do something for everyone and now people think modern society happened because they’re just the best and they deserve it

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.

The show must go on.
