fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Bsky's new TOS cracks down on adult content and goes into effect on Oct 15 🚫

We want better content labels, NOT censorship. Use the feedback form to demand change

They've forgotten the only reason bsky exists is because nsfw artists, sex workers, & the trans community left twitter

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.”

You are actively threatening artist's livelihoods in order to "protect" people from a "danger" that doesn't exist

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

#SaveSpeech

1/🧵

Multiple cropped screenshots showing portions of the bsky TOS before and now. Before: "iv. Encouraging self-harm or suicide
v. Depictions of excessive violence, gore, torture, dismemberment, or non-consensual sexual activity". Now: "ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions. iv. Do not create, share, or promote sexual content involving realistic risk of death or serious injury. i. Do not share content, methods, instructions, or promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and extreme dieting practices.
ii. Do not share methods, instructions, depictions, or promotion of dangerous stunts or abuse of dangerous or controlled substances. 5. Protected Expression
B. Support, Recovery, and Mental Health:
i. Personal recovery experiences or survivor stories shared to promote healing and community support rather than encouraging harmful behavior.
ii. Sharing verified mental health resources, crisis prevention".

I can draw anything. I can make characters as abstract or grounded as I please. I can put them in peril or paradise at the flick of a wrist and the wisp of a whim. I can tear them to shreds and they'll be fine because I decide they're fine. Because it's all fake. You are trying to chain daydreams

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

A lot of my followers and general sphere understands this but it's really important we recognize that even if we don't like some art for personal moral reasons, we need to defend its right to exist. We went from no rape to no cat ears in less than two months. Everyone who warned about this was right

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.

Don't doubt your art, someone out there loves it, without a doubt.

Even if it doesn't get a lot of attention, please keep making it, the world always needs more art.

Sylas and Lux’s rendezvous

A halo of soft, golden hair spills around her, bare frame laid out before you in the dark of the forest. Your past meetings were never like this. Lux had sought you out to quell the rebellion you were building, but now it feels like you’re more of a means of comfort than anything. You’ll never understand her desire to fight for a kingdom that rejects her.

You tower over her, naturally, the pale of her skin consumed by the flush of her cheeks. You like the way her eyes shift away as if she isn’t used to the sight of your stature. It makes you grin.

You pin her down, as if to claim more of what you’ve already taken. Your fingers lace around her neck, closing tighter. Lux manages a muffled whimper through labored breaths, her eyes fluttering from your strength. Your cock now wholly buried in her, overwhelming the pretty thing. You take what has been offered, you take what is deserved. Coward that she is, she still likes the pain, she must think it penance for all those years you spent in that cell.
