so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning
The censorship of 80+ games on Steam this week was apparently the work of Australian antiporn group Collective Shout, which partnered with US evangelicals to pressure Visa and Mastercard.
They claimed, without evidence, that the games involved child abuse.
Great work by @acvalens.net for VICE.

VICE's owner Savage Ventures has requested the removal of my Collective Shout articles. This is due to concerns about the controversial subject matter—not journalistic complaints
Effective immediately, I will no longer contribute to Waypoint. I suggest letting VICE's owner know if this upsets you
after a very frustrating call with Visa (US+CAN), I was told that Visa would like inquiries relating to using their bargaining power to destroy adult media to be sent, via email, to
askvisa@visa.com
they asked. to be sent. emails. you know what to do.
Happy Place
Ello 🙂

Honestly, such grim news from UK Supreme Court. We're going the way of US & everyone should be concerned.
Just let people live their quiet lives - just like they did before Wicked Witch & her flying goblins got all exercised about things that don't concern them.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?
Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.
Some more digital arting, the mountains is another influenced by a James Julier tutorial, the other is from my own head.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet:

Aww thanks, it's following a tutorial, so that makes it "easier" but it's also digital, which I'm only just learning having worked in traditional art mediums most of my life :D

This is beyond fucked up and as someone in the fifth decade of my life, I have to shake my head at how - while many things are so much better than in my teenage years - others are rapidly backpeddling those five decades.
Aww thanks gorgeous, means a lot from you! I'm absolutely loving the digital art process, I think watercolour will always be my favourite medium, but it's just so much easier with iPad and Apple Pro pencil 😁

Ello all the new peeps making their way here, I'm just as rubbish here at posting regularly as I am everywhere else 💗😁
