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.

If visa processes your chatgpt payment after this then it’s just obviously anti competitive / market fixing for them to refuse to process indie artist porn comics

Corn Maze + Cauldron Contents 💜 for ArtFright2025

Ravenno & Ethan enjoy a harvest festival corn maze. Some of their friends have also joined them for the festivities, though the party has gotten a bit separated amongst the corn hedges. :3

🌿 #art #ocsky #ArtFight #ArtFright2025

Isometric style illustration of my original characters (OCs) Ravenno & Ethan in a spooky corn maze evening scene. They are holding hands, paused in their exploration to enjoy a small romantic moment alone together. They are encircled by a heart, bottom left. Some of their friends are amongst the others exploring the maze at this time. Mei (who belongs to @tiassa.bsky.social ), just right of center, looks on at a skeleton, who very unfortunately has nothing from which to steal. Ronan (who belongs to @teaweltzer.bsky.social ), top right, is divine sensing for any nearby treachery. Iluri (who belongs to @brinsonmarie.bsky.social ), top left, is shouting for his compatriot as a gelatinous cube oozes nearby. Aluin (who belongs to @brinsonmarie.bsky.social ) is on the other side of the maze, and is pretty sure he heard Iluri but doesn't know how to get to him yet.

cropped version of previous illustration focused on just my two original characters (OCs) Ravenno (they/them) and Ethan (he/him).

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

everything is telling me that making a living from making adult content is not feasible. I'll just keep releasing games and comics for free 🫠

There's a UK adult games creator on reddit who's been rejected from 36(!) and counting UK banks and unable to process the earned £90,000. Debanking for adult creators continues to be a real threat.

Reposting these as they are meant to be seen. Stormblood propaganda posters featuring Lyse, Fordola, Yugiri, and Yotsuyu. Everyone has their own sense of freedom.

1st poster is Lyse with her fist raised, the word FIGHT behind her with 3 fists in front of her.
2nd poster is Fordola hands in raised above her breaking the chains binding her with the text Ala Mhigo at the top and Freedom at the bottom.
3rd poster is Yugiri leaping with an ink painting stylized Sui-no-Sato behind her. The white text in the top say: Forget your past. The bottom text say: Choose your own master.
4th poster is Yotsuyu with her hands around her neck as she smirks at the viewer. The text state: Seize your Freedom.
