We just released a small update that fixes a couple of sort-of-major bugs that could, to everyone who has never played Tiny Life during the beta and alpha days, be considered new features. Oops!

PMD opens with nonconsensual transformation. is that against the rules? is it against the rules if it's drawn by someone who's horny for it? who the fuck knows?

there's also such a gigantic rift between what is "clear consent" and what is "clear nonconsent" that just calling something "nonconsensual" without specifying doesn't really end up meaning anything. and for a social media platform policy, that's not where you wanna be.

i'd been back and forth on the "disallowning nonconsensual sexual scenarios in fiction" debate for years, but this comparison single-handedly convinced me that yea, it's so much more nuanced than "consent important tho", and a blanket ban is incredibly short-sighted

eevee @eev.ee · 28d

this is the equivalent of banning rollercoasters because they simulate the feeling of falling to your death, and falling to your death is bad

I posted on my personal blog again for once!

This week, I submitted my bachelor's thesis after eight years of studying. Why did it take me so long, and how does it feel now?
