If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.
There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.
Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."
TURN IT OFF.

I actually think it's extremely good and healthy to experience art that makes you uncomfortable. discomfort is not equivalent to real, tangible harm. at the very least y'all should recognize uncomfortable art's right to exist, and to carry on with your life without making it everyone else's problem.

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.

STOP.
This is the EXACT reasoning that was used to get us to this point in the first place.
I do not care what your personal sensibilities are. Art is allowed to explore gross and uncomfortable things and you need to take the puritan in your head out back and shoot it so this stops happening.

Itch.io did a statement. They were forced to remove VNs because of Collective Shout.
If you enjoy queer or adult visual novels or games, please sign the ACLU petition. They're gunning for 100k signatures and are very close! So, so close!

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

You don’t have to like, approve of, or engage with porn and nsfw work to see how right wing extremists are using fear and stigma around smut to ban queer people from public life, define “good” sex as only between married people for procreation, and otherwise further force white supremacy on everyone

Heads up for all of my fellow international VAs who might still be doing cons/fly in for work in the US. Not only is it unsafe for us to visit the US, it’ll also now just be extra bad for business. Focus on your remote home setup, tell your agent and ask them to inform clients if needed, etc…
Tucked away in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' is the requirement that all visitors to the US must pay $250 just to enter the country starting 1 October! For a family of 5 that's $1250! I doubt this will help America's crashing tourism business which is down 10% already since January
