Never let Patreon forget they were the original Only fans and they were at some point proud of that.

Never stop making even if you can't show it on your main. I hate the idea that if artist can't display it rots away in the mind.

We are better than this and as are being mistreated

We used to have a class of Patreon/online artist who were proud to leave their jobs and be independent

2009-2014 has some of the best literature an communities for bdsm content

Post 2013 the idea of true croudsource independence was becoming real

And and well ,

Characters must consent know

Their will be an attempted to disrupt this ability in the west, she used china and Russia as an example of getting news beyond your wall and from eye witnesses.

She made the point to pay attention to those who view access/communication as a problem.

She absolutely nailed out current moment

She touched on a point in 2019 that is important today.legisive+ corporate manufactured consent.The idea if the news/Legislation agree something it's good ,it's good and if it's bad it's bad. Social media is able to break that by having those effected discuss/show how it hurts them and that one day

One of the best momentssl as a mentor was when a young lady I was mentoring made an entire 50 page presentation over the advantages of social media ....at a anti phone/internet for teen event

Mind you she was shy and it took a lot for her to do to that.

Her points still ring true

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.

100-250$ due to economy of scale,they already have a built in audience so it's not like they are some upstart that needs to recover money

Just give me virus and security updates and the OPTIONAL system update and we are good

The more app support Linux gets the less I have to negotiate with windows

🚨🚨Nsfw artists , furry artists kinksters🚨🚨

Be on the lookout for takedowns and be vocal if it happens.

I still call on @bsky.app to remove the rules on fictional characters expressing consent and the clause on beastiality.

We are not babies stop dumbing down art.

Worse

It was a privaledge to work for x, or My time with x family has come to an end due to scaling etc

Meanwhile on the same platform the CEO or CFO is bragging about profits.

Much like day one dlc they just don't care to hide it anymore that they don't care.

It's the let's track everyone so a bunch of idiots who have not been paying attention to the survialance capitalism industry,but want to "own" big tech get a win

All they had to do was add filters,but to saftey Zelots we need survialance to keep everyone safe. I feel safe knowing I am being watched

The fact that at every stage we keep normalising data handing over to data vampires is scary. I am genuinely getting people to use local models to avoid this

Not because I want children to have smut,but its clear infantilism is the new saftey.

And data minimalist have to work harder to be safe.

devilcereal.bsky.social @devilcereal.bsky.social · 14h

"verified adults" ah more survialance

I need or know my national library in my city has 5 rows of erotica,out in the open,no locks. This ranges from smut to role play

It even marketed as adult

And do you know what sometimes a teen grabs a book and no one looses it

Normalisation of survialance

I need to say something most people get but few understand.

Once you make segregate laws normal in time it will be used to justify denying a class of people access.

Many prisoners in the us can't vote despite finishing sentence.

Best believe alot of people are about to be screwed with these laws.

Mission creep is already apparent, when you tell people adding a middle man means all it takes is one person shutting down verification services and you are locked out.

When you tell people this will be used do discriminate access you are Hans waved off.

Privacy capture in the name of saftey

Any bad faith interpretation can remove anything with this. Its not the fact the rule will be used it's the fact it exists that stifles options

How does a fictional character consent?

The rules are the visual censorship of saying Grape instead of rape

a middle class of artists was created by giving creatives an outlet to independently reach out to share and sell their work, really shattering the starving artist/historic artiste binary

I'm one of those people and bonus my own hours save me from a chronic health condition

🚨(bias alert)🚨 Loved the playtest and have been playing it a lot since

Would recommend

To rate difficulty it's easier than shapes 2D but genuinely gets challenging when you start splitting lines.

I am anxiously waiting for the next playtest

But for for me this is a guaranteed buy.

Without revealing too much I found out I was not a sexual deviant,just did not have the vocabulary to describe how I felt.

I was able to make friends with people it would have been geo impossible to visit

City pop,lord was their a before and after

Porn is not a vice,but people sure want it to be.

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.
