Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Fuck what twitch is trying to do: If you are a lurker on twitch, you are awesome

We love and respect the lurkers in this house. Not everyone wants to chat all the time and sometimes you just wanna chill and vibe

Its real shitty how twitch is seemingly trying to kill off lurking for whatever reason

I'll say it again, Art is communication.

"Create for yourself" really means "Create art that communicates who you are." And one sided communication feels terrible. Commenting on peoples art/creations can be scary, I get it. But COMMENT. COMMUNICATE. We want to hear it. I want to hear it.

"Create for yourself" is great and all but no one wants to feel like no one cares and you're just screaming into the void

It's officially been one month since you left and I'm still a wreck. I hope you know you're still talked about every day, we still have all of your belongings, and I hope you're safe and happy wherever you are. I lost my best friend far too soon, and my heart hasn't stopped aching.

Vanplitwo Ambassador @ignightroad.bsky.social · Aug 26

Goodbye, Sundance. Thank you for being my best friend. I'll always love you.

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

if there's anything you can learn from undertale, it's that if your friends are super into something, you should put some of that stuff in the things you make. not just to make them smile, but because it will probably end up making a whole lot of other people smile, too.

Just because I don't wanna see noncon doesn't mean it doesn't deserve to be shown, or talked about, or discussed. Did you know majority of rapes happen in marriages? And most people aren't even aware it's happening to them because education on the subject is taboo. Discomfort is EDUCATION.

Here's the thing: you're allowed to be uncomfortable with things like noncon. As a SA victim, I don't wanna see it. However, that's what moderation tools are for. Tagging it, blocking it, muting it--that's up to YOU.
Things that make you uncomfortable will ALWAYS be around. Learn to live with that.

Reminder that 2+ years ago, this site was dominated by furries and sex workers who drove out the prior administration who wanted to turn this place into a bitcoin/NFT/Xitter 2 shill.

We'll do it again.

This website was nothing without the sex workers. It'll be nothing without us when we leave.

Whenever sites come up with new rules like this I thing about how if you were a creator who was making something every bit on the level with a hugely popular and acclaimed series, would you be allowed to share it? Like, if you were sitting on the next Game of Thrones, you couldn’t share that here.

Fucking hell, Bsky, you had one job, and it wasn't to censor artists.

Banning non-con NSFW art of fictional characters? News flash: fictional characters can't consent because they're 𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓵.

They're ideas. They're narrative tools. They're concepts that only exist in our heads. #bskycensorship
