This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.

Since I see misinformation spread about Pillowfort often, and I think it’s a great site to join if you don’t want all your social media eggs in one basket, here’s a thread debunking common misconceptions I’ve seen over the years. 🧵

They'll keep treating their customers like shit, too many fans will defend them as if that will make them improve. Just stop giving them money, there are so many games today

Dio⎊Pardalis @diopardalis.bsky.social · 3d

Nintendo also trying to screw gaming as a whole yet in a week ppl will throw money at them for a game played in one city, barely innovated in 2 decades, & problems will be ignored.

EA status speedrun, another game of my childhood I'm just bummed to see going to crap...

Seeing NSFW artist mad(rightfully so) but then going to... IG?? Patreon?? Tumblr?

Ya'll... Pillowfort is right there stop with these big corpo platforms.

"Well no one is there!"
No one was here either, it took more time to turn against artists that moved than rebuild.

Lol rejected entirely from Furpoc for the second year in a row but wait-listed for SetsuCon which I didn't know existed until I applied.

Boycotts. Can. WORK.
We do nothing, they see nothing, they think nothing. Make companies think about their choices to take a knee. Stop making excuses to go back.

With the #DemonSlayerinfinitycastle movie out in theaters atm, I wanted to show you all bookmark designs I did of Kanao and Mitsuri. I can't wait to see how the animation does the manga justice, I'm so excited!

The social media landscape is getting really grim politically. Please consider supporting Pillowfort-- we're NSFW-friendly and not run by insane conservative billionaires!

If youre aghast at how even the adult website paypros ban things as benign as "cat ears", this is what we mean when we say that puritan policies DO NOT care to stop at just the "nasty" stuff

When they say they target "beastiality", they mean up to and including an actual human being wearing catears
