"People used to be excited about tech, now they dread what data you're going to steal next, they dread what violation of privacy or the environment will turn up next."
this whole missive will make you want to stand on your desk and yell "O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN!," but that bit really got me good
Really cool how the moral police keeps going after harmless fiction while the Epstein class continues to face zero repercussions for their widespread real life atrocities. Somehow, none of them are getting debanked or anything!

Reading the headline and the article makes sense but dressing the models like members of Law & Order: SVU is a choice.

You don't hate payment processors enough. You don't hate them enough

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
This woman is a QUEEN. But also, did you know. A lot of Natural History scientific illustrators in the 19th century, were usually partners and wives of famous male academics. Buckland, Lyell, Mantell, Murchinson, Gould etc. Their academic output was carried by their (invisible) wives.
Hnnng I'm trying to be ethical but my "non-human-like knee orientation" is alerting the payment processors
i obviously am distressed by the news but also: do not comply in advance
the number one response to fascistic bullshit is "Fuck you, make me" 100% of the time
One thing we absolutely MUST demand from the Green and Liberal Democrat parties is trans-led inquiries. No more cis people checking the work of cis people. Trans people need to be empowered to directly punish our oppressors.

STOP MAKING LIVE ACTION VERSIONS OF CARTOONS AND GO BACK TO MAKING CARTOON VERSIONS OF LIVE ACTION MOVIES
Italy may have beat us in Baseball but weβre going to beat them in something they invented: being fascist.
these dipshits are seriously banning werewolves
the targeting of any art that is "obscene" (terms of obscenity always to be decided at a whim) is fascistic yes but also how the only kinds of art that tends to be penalized is the individual/independent creators isn't lost on me. a patreon TOS would reject anything that can be streamed on netflix.
Gonna once again point out that everyone has carried around a rectangle containing infinite pornography for the past decade minimum and society didn't dissolve so miss me with any weepy handwringing about smut.
Spaces for kids have been destroyed or re-worked into stores, adult spaces aren't allowed to be actually "adult" lest we anger the CC companies, and supposedly neutral spaces are full of gambling/porn ads, disinformation, and right-wing pipelines. An internet that is increasingly not for anyone.
With what's going on with Subscribestar, it's a good moment to remind you all of something:
Free speech also includes speech you don't agree with, and freedom of artistic expression also includes art you find horrible or disgusting.
And if you go: "Yeah I agree! However-"
Then you don't agree!
A meme against paypro censorship with the MasterCard logo. The red section says "We Hate Gay People," the yellow section says "We Hate Women's Bodies," the middle reads: "We Fucking Hate You." Text: "There are some things money can't buy, hating artists and women's bodies? Priceless."
Growing a theory that a lot of the implementation and push behind AI is simply to avoid actually speaking and interacting with other human beings bc the people pushing it aren't good at it.
defending art's right to exist, especially nsfw art, inherenetly involves you having to allow art you don't like or even think is abhorrent or reprehensible to exist. you do not have to pretend to like it or engage with it, but you need to let it exist. you give fascists an inch they take a mile.
the continuing censorship of sexual content on the internet while the elite class still gets to use banks and credit cards when doing horrible things to children makes it obvious itβs about who has the money, power, and control, and not protecting anyone.
graphic design shitpost: Stick figure of human leg with the knee labeled "monetizable knee"; stick figure of digitigrade leg, with the knee labeled "uncouth zoophile knee"; text: Ankle unrelated, "we are very smart" - payment processors. Separate graphic on other half - illustration of a doggy, text: Woof woof! I am a representational, animal-shaped character! A hot one, some might say. People are often attracted to me, which make sense - I am depicted with human-like behaviors, and am often drawn as a representation of idealized or exaggerated human experiences. I'm not just a talking dog - I can be a representation of the artist's aspiration to be more playful, more confident - or of something they already love about themselves. Animal-shaped characters have been a part of human expression as long as we have made art - and that tradition will outlive the powers which seek to control and divide us today. Er, grr bark, I mean.
Re: SubscribeStar banning sexual content with characters that don't have "human-like knee orientation" fsjdkldbh
Tried to shitpost and got carried away lol

My lawyer brain is stuck on the provision that allowing anthropomorphic characters is contingent on their knee orientation.
Some dude at Visa is like βthe fur is fine, and I agree Disneyβs Maid Marian was hot, but knees are sacrosanct. The line must be drawn here, this far, no furtherβ
