HEY YOU, BLUESKY USER

Make noise in the comments, submit feedback forms on their site, go.

I consent to all the most NSFW content people want to post. I can scroll past, mute, block, whatever I choose. We already have the tools, we can choose, that's the point.

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

The bad news keep coming

These go into effect Oct 15th

D. Adult Content: We provide a safe space for consensual adult expression by requiring clear consent and stopping abuse.

i. We allow consensual adult sexual content, including fictional depictions, when appropriately labeled and subject to appropriate age restrictions.

ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non- consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions.

repeat after me: you do not have to be a victim of trauma in order to explore taboo themes in fiction. You do NOT need to have been abused to enjoy taboo kinks and dark fiction. You do not need to tell antis your entire traumatic history. They don't care about you. Write and draw that freak shit.

Even worse when the snake oil salesmen drink their own tonics and convince themselves it’s cured all their ailments, meanwhile the tonic is a lead + arsenic + asbestos mixture

Call them anyway.
Ignore their directive.

Email them as well.

Flood them.
They wouldn't even be trying to redirect all of these complaints if the pressure wasn't making them uncomfortable.

There is no acceptable sacrificial lamb to appease purity culture. Whatever weird little pervert you are personally icked by should not be collateral damage in a discussion where, essentially, banks are vying to be the arbiters of morality so they can decide whose dirty evil money they get to pocket

In recent weeks, video game publishers Take-Two and EA both warned investors about potential "reputational" risks to the use of gen-AI in games. It's a problem that all game companies will soon need to confront: Players hate genAI.

You can never be wholesome enough to satisfy a bigot, so don't cut off pieces of yourself to fit the shape of their artificial box. They'll just shrink it after you do and demand you keep cutting.

Jan Falk (ThistleArts) @thistlearts.bsky.social · Nov 26

I think we need "the good the bad and the ugly" of queer stories because that's the real representation when all kinds of shit have space to exist.
Because that's how it is with cishet stories.
Perfectly "wholesome" and polished "queer rep" is in fact an artificial vitrine, not real culture.
