We have momentum and we're trying to pull other parties into the pushback against bsky's new censorship rules, so I don't recommend participating in a blackout.

Mine and other comments on the TOS post are getting shadowbanned so I think, while I understand the spirit, it would hurt our cause.

This is a BAD idea from a tactical pov

all this means is an issue that bsky mods do NOT want controversy around will have NO posting about it for a full week

a large number of people who come back from the "blackout" will likely not start up the complaints again

it hamstrings the cause

Re: blackout

As an artist of nsfw, to remain silent is literally the last thing to do rn

Sites that don’t have ads don’t lose or gain from inactivity…only making the voices of censorship louder

Instead of sending feedback/emails and boosting community? Spreading out instead of banning together?

Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.

Meme from Parks and Recreation of Ron handing a paper to an officer and saying “Not to worry. I have a permit.”

Followed by a closeup image of the paper being held by the officer, edited to read:

“Every fictional character I’ve drawn and will draw having sex, has consented to being drawn that way. They told me themselves.”

I immediately got banned from tumblr back in the day for posting Courbet's L'origine du monde in response to the porn ban. Labeling art as degenerate is anti-intellectual and anti-human - fuck you for capitulating in advance, Capital dick suckers.

US legislators are pushing harder to pass KOSA and repeal section 230.

Call your representatives ASAP and make your voice heard! Advocate for protecting section 230, and demand your reps oppose KOSA!

Bipartisan Push in Congress to Weaken Section 230, Expand Online Surveillance, and Increase Platform Liability

The impulse to say that erotica CAN'T say anything of value, that porn MUST be mindless indulgence, is an extension of this problem by the way.

Sex and kink are just parts of life. Art that explores both primarily can touch on other subjects meaningfully as well. Stop trying to silo everything.

A Spooky Goose @anarchygoose.bsky.social · Mar 6

The desexualisation of media (everyone is beautiful, and no one is horny) combined with an increasing hysteria around the 'pointlessness' of sex scenes is a key part of the fascistization of western culture and if we're going to fight back we're going to need to make it normal to be horny again.

Michigan lawmakers have introduced a bill prohibiting the any "depiction or description" of trans people or trans existence online, including it in a bill banning "pornographic" material

The bill would completely erase trans people online, equating them with porn.

Total porn ban proposed by Michigan lawmakers

Some states have moved to require age verification to ensure only adults are watching porn, but no states have outright banned the viewing of pornographic material.

also one way to look at this: This bill is comparable to a US version of europe's Chat Control proposal

so it needs to be taken seriously

Excellent article by @eurogamer.bsky.social. Fantastic work & a model for how other games outlets & games journalists should be covering this issue. Please read it and share widely. It's giving a voice to many developers often left unheard on paypro censorship

i dont know how else to drill it into people's heads but you are going to see this happen to more and more creators until there's no one left, or at least until the infrastructure that allowed us all to share our work as a community and create careers out of it is completely gone

you have to act

Vrelnir (Creator of Degrees of Lewdity) just mentioned that Subscribestar soft banned their page. So, those rumours that Substar was banning certain kinds of content (DoL has a plethora of upsetting kinks) were in fact true.

Games are being targeted because they are the New medium, they are, despite recent booms, the fringe media
They exist, still, as a scapegoat for falsely pinned ills and symptoms of systemic failure by governments meant to *serve* us
But the fascist hand of censorship claws to all art and expression

This is why I keep reminding everyone to keep calling. They're not backing down, they're doubling down. I know you're tired of seeing it, I am too, but we can't afford to stop. They can't be allowed to get away with it.

Don't stop calling.

Heavy Hearts dev Dammitbird received the following notice from Steam, noting “your app has failed our review because we're unable to support the Early Access model of development for a game with mature themes”

This strikes me as overcompliance and censorious on Steam’s part

Dammitbird @GalewindG

According to steam, early access is no longer an option for games with "mature themes" The culling of adult games continues.
