Always keep an eye on GamerGate-ass takes.

All it takes is one centrist to spread misinformation about our line of work that fascists will eat up.

We will not be terrorized by the likes of Grummz and Tater Tot anymore.

A disclaimer on Guide #11 for clarification: when I refer to "porn that you may not agree with," I in no way mean anything involving actual children/babies or real life animals.

I'm more refering to things like vore, watersports, l*li or sh*ta, etc. You dont have-

There will likely be more to post for the guide, but for now we must continue to live and fight.

For #WEAREHORNETS, and we cannot let them destroy our nests anymore.

Guide #14: Create and Support

In the face of censorship and discrimination, we must continue to create art, games, etc. that defy the Puritain laws being pushed.

We must not let them snuff out our existance for just making porn or suggestive art. Create and support who you can.

Guide #13: Tech can assist, but it isn't a solution.

We must use every tech tool and strategy [like VPNs] we can to oppose things like Age Verification laws, but remember that they ARENT a full solution.

The real solution: Repealing the bad laws and voting out bad leaders.

Guide #12: Don't engage the Nihilist.

Inevitably you will emcounter those who thing that "its all over" and cannot be convinced.

You can try to encourage them otherwise, but its better to block them and focus on who you CAN sway. There's no time for the end-of-days preacher.

Guide #11: It Starts with One Thing

Porn. Fictional or Otherwise. Censorship and control all starts with it, and ends at everything.

Whether you are sfw or not, it needs to be defended, especially porn that you may not agree with

The low hanging fruit may become the whole tree

Guide #10: We are NOT alone

Its hard to gauge how many of us are fighting, but we AREN'T alone. Many groups, big and small, are fighting equally.

Guide #9: Divide & Conquer

This censorship issue is global, so we must divide the workload & call our Reps

Guide #8: Sting the Beast.

Paypros may be large and daunting, but that cannot stop us from calling them. We keep calling them and stinging them till they buckle and yield. This may take a long time, but we MUST.

Consider the resources below: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co

Guide #7: Any defeat is not the end.

As we saw with Chat Control, just because it gained favor doesnt mean its over. The fight persists. A new draft proposed could defang it completely.

In any defeat, we cannot despair. We keep fighting and change strategy. Never stop fighting.

Guide #6: "But we keep losing."

We will see more losses as we fight: more debanking, more bans, more censorship, maybe even bill passages. Its a cruel reality, but don't let it discourage you.

Let it be a reminder what you fight to prevent. Let every loss fuel your will to act.

#WEAREHORNETS

Guide #5: Sustained Attacks

Although it may seem tiresome or grating, we need to keep up calls and protests against paypros and governments. We cannot blitz this fight or we risk burning out. A call a day is better than none.

Only through sustained fire will we inevitably win.

#WEAREHORNETS

Guide #4: Do. Not. Panic.

Urgency in fights is paramount, BUT panicking helps no one. Mass pinging one person that isn't a reporter or coalition only stresses them out.

Step back. Breath. Focus. We get nowhere losing our heads. Its normal to fear. Turn it into fuel for action.

#WEAREHORNETS

Guide #3: Rest is key. Too many people have been spiraling, dooming, or feeling hopeless. Myself included.

That said, we must keep focus on how to fight. Not "they don't care" or "we lost."

If you can't focus, step back and rest. Take breaks. Seek out help for your mental health

#WEAREHORNETS

Guide #2: This is a Marathon. Not a race.

Since July, censorship has gotten worse, and we have continued to fight. The reality is we will be fighting well into 2026 and beyond.

Paypros & govs have resources to spare for a long game, so we can't expect to beat them quickly.

#WEAREHORNETS

Guide #1: We are hornets. Small, communal, make nests in communities, and are subject to giants(paypros, governmemts, etc).

That said, we can STING, and while our stings may not be fatal, we can still sting ALOT. With calls, with protests, with opposition. Together as one.

HORNETS: A GUIDE TO THE ANTI-CENSORSHIP ONLINE MOVEMENT

#WEAREHORNETS #savespeech

To everyone fighting out there, whether against paypros or politicians, old or new: I'm making this guide to hopefully help you navigate fatigue, panic, and hopelessness as we fight what feels like an eternal war. =>
