Facts.
I feel this, with agency being taken from individuals to make money from anything NSFW - but it's okay for the big corps and shit to do as they please and, specifically, profit from individuals, us.
Well if sex sells everything, I call it a scam
Profit off our bodies while they're holding us back
Every law they pass feels like a fucking attack
Well god damn I'm a woman gone mad
I'm not asking for a lot for just a day of happiness.
Just, you know, maybe no new war further destabilizing the world, maybe a summer without nazis, or perhaps just not having another attack on my livelihood.
The bar really isn't that high, but alas...
That I very sadly agree with, borrowed time.
UK ain't helping either, but currently explicitly focused on porn of people (video and images), though this may have changed.
Truth
I mean, the extreme restrictions (that also ban waterspouts?) are still there and will be. This happened with zero notice and accounts are at risk.
It's not good.
My conspiracy theory:
Step One: Put all the artists for these things out of business.
Step Two: Let demand build.
Step Three: Sell GenAI that can make these things for you now that the artists are fucked over.
Ana Valens is, as always, very comprehensive in going through what's happened here.
Absolutely crazy.
Either way it removes what I used it for so...jumping ship. Just got to get my money if I can, notify people of the still active Patreon for non extreme stuff and that's it.
I added the screenshot, yes I've read it.
Am I just having a moment here or has that really been deleted?

...I mean if you're game for a free mini story written from spite...
Er...wtf.
Unless my phone is screwing up, I think they have amended this on the sly? I can't find details on furries anymore.
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

To top off this fantastic morning (sarcasm) Folly is lame again so I'm getting the vet out this week and stable resting her (will need bute anyway).
And now I have the very dire issue of sourcing extra hay in a hay shortage, which may be 4 times the price it should be.
If you ever want a reminder of how utterly performative Subscribestarβs latest move is, remember that Eddie Redmayne was able to say on a widely watched show like Graham Norton that he thought Nala from the Lion King was hot.
And nobody fucking cared.

What makes me so fucking mad is
I never hurt anyone. The vast, overwhelming majority of nsfw creators and sex workers dont.
We get cut off from the ability to use-the-dollar but all the sick fucks that hurt people, both directly and indirectly, every single day, never get even a slap on the wrist
I don't mean to sound abrupt but this has clearly caused great upset in the furry community and people have valid points. I think you have missed the point and the specific restrictions, plus the implications going forward.
Also that book I have with a differently bodied / disabled seal character? Yeah that's banned too.
Furry missing an arm? Banned.
This was pointed out elsewhere but this explicitly targets depictions of disabled characters having sex also.
And there will be people cheering this on... fuck you. I don't care if I'm not being professional right now.
Even with a clearer head and looking at how this explicitly targets furries is obscene.
Censorship not art or writing or people is DEGENERATE.
If smashwords isn't flying under the radar, they will likely be enforcing the same in time re the taboo topics.
And I'm here trying to keep the bills paid. Fuck all of this.
Sincerely, trying to make a living through this increasing censorship and just write makes me not want to be here. And I know that's serious and I know that's hard to hear, but I don't know how to get up and keep trying with every new obstacle against me.
"Human like knee orientation"
Human with anthro clearly banned. Taurs and nagas. Probably dark end vore (mine is implied off screen, not depicted).
Incest, noncon, feral in any form... Based on the wording this also excludes quadrupedal dragons.
Ok, so I am fucked and have a lot of content to go through on SubscribeStar to remove specific posts...
One more avenue of income that I can only expect will be closed off soon, as this is even more restrictive than Patreon. Out of the blue. I'm sorry but crap like this makes it hard to carry on.
anyone saying this shit needs to understand that the concept of "degenerate art" is DEEPLY rooted in horrifically racist, anti-semitic, anti-queer, and xenophobic nazi sentiment. they literally did exhibitions of modern art to stoke hostility towards anything that perverted aryan values. /1
Her majesty however is getting a bodywork treatment from me tomorrow morning, which I'm sure she'll benefit from. Got to use my skills somehow.
She's been responding surprisingly well to a little red light therapy too, which I'll add in.
Suppose I do some liberty work too as Binky enjoys it, some parelli only through my instructor. It's about what works for the horse and feels good for them, always.
Despite a busy day, I squeezed in a lesson with Binky. I do a mix of French classical dressage (basically focused on horse first healthy movement) and natural horsemanship, but working on technical but important basics today. So good to get an outside perspective π
