When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

waugh my spamtongs!!!1! (big shot, sNEO and current)

#art #fanart #deltarune #spamton

a page full with doodles for different spamton designs, including big shot (rather normally built with black and orange eyes), NEO (a mix of high tech robot and bones being broken by strings pulling from all sides) and a little one of current spamton (big shot but nothing but skin and bones, always keeps eyes closed and has scars from the strings all over his body); there is also a younger Tenna sketch without his jacket in a very tight shirt to which a red faced bs spamton reacts by accidentally inhaling his lit cigarette.

Places the lynel twilight princess zelda on here as well. She was supposed to be for a halloween collab years ago that never came to be, but tis the season now!

A lynel version of Twilight Princess Zelda. She has two horns protruding down and framing her face and a beard. Her princess gown is draped over her body and is tattered and stained red on the ends, and she wields the light bow in her hands with a scowl.

"It's TV Time" intensifies.

A four part illustration where Tenna says "What? No I'm not mad. Of course I'm not mad. Yeah, I know my boss music is playing, don't worry about it. Come closer." a quote by tumblr user northirish.

I know it's exhausting, but please keep calling, mailing and spreading the word. Maybe even make posts like this calling for action in your native tongue?

'this is so not in character for tenna/spamton' im aware, im misscharacterizing both, no intent to sound like im just self conscious about it, consider them different entities from canon, im not pretending its true, its the meAU, hashtagmyversionAU, my apologies to the true character enjoyers

thank you!!
a rough summary for this arc; due to her past she wasnt able to leave the palace at all bc assassins were constantly after her- until theres fear spreading bc of a demon sighting (basically unheard of) and, if real, she has the idea to seek him out and convince him to be her bodyguard

see this is a reason why i hope my stuff never gets too popular, like i dont want to know what kind of discourse one of my characters would get bc shes an (ex) warmongering empress who is cis but got top surgery bc tits were in the way of her combat abilities and she fucks her demon body guard lmao

Starscourge Demise @ganondoodles.bsky.social · 19d

personally i was really happy about that bc we desperately need more cis characters to be non traditionally gender conforming too, especially with women-
also you can keep your fucking hc anyway, it doesnt need to be canon..... but i wont engage with that bs, i hope she doesnt let it get to her ...

LRT i despise how many act like seeing porn is like, traumatical permanent injury before you are 18 by default, they act like its a death sentence for "da kids"
coming across some porn as a teen or whatever sure is worse than actively putting everyone of all ages under constant suveillance hahahaha-

artists aren’t the fucking bourgeois or “elite”. every artist i know can barely make rent. every artist i know is one severe enough hospital bill away from being homeless. we’re not all banksy or andy warhol. sick of this idea being passed around as we deal with companies exploiting us constantly.

Honestly, the best way to make an artist’s day is by being very specific about what you like about a piece. Geek out a lil. Gush over how they use line, color, texture. Every mark is layed down by the artist, so if you can connect with those little moments, it helps the artist feel seen.
