FADPA and Block BEARD are basically SOPA's revenge (once again, the garbage copyright industry wants IMMEDIATE site blocks like going straight to prison without a trial). Others are anti-porn or at least hinder adult's right to view such content like treating all ages like children.

If watermark(s) blurred, cropped, blurred or even overlaid with someone else's, it's a big red flag.

Really hope it isn’t pressure from payment processors banning things they don’t like despite 100% legal.

News organizations are increasingly launching newsletters in hopes of building a more direct relationship with readers, as traffic from platforms they once relied on — like social media and Google Search — continues to shrink.

These intermediary platforms between news organizations and readers are undergoing a type of predictable decay Cory Doctorow calls “enshittification”.a As executives twiddle the knobs to extract ever more profits from their user base, things worsen for people on both ends of the consumer–producer relationship. Readers no longer see news articles from the journalists they chose to follow on Twitter as the site downranks any posts that link offsite. When they search on Google, they’re bombarded with error-ridden AI facsimiles before reaching the higher-quality underlying work. Producers who once relied on social media and search engines to drive visits are losing traffic as platforms embrace a vampiric strategy: rip off others’ work while expecting high-quality journalism to magically continue to appear, even as journalists are starved of audience and revenue.

Artists, don’t just be mad to X and Instagram, also be mad at google. All of them discourage clicking on links to or visiting your content: youtu.be/vYTzawi_GPc?...

I'm getting the popcorn if they decide to go to war against antimalware companies. @malwarebytes.com There's a big threat against basically our right to be safe online in the name of copyright law. Does blocking potentially malicious domains constitute an illegal modification of a website?

Revived anti-ad blocking lawsuit puts users’ rights and the Internet’s future at risk

While the headlines focus on publishers and alleged copyright violations, the bigger story is what this means for millions of ordinary users.

Many years ago, I saw him and his massive hair. I tend to like DB’s long-haired characters, especially SS3 Goku. I Like how you did his forehead more realistically (his forehead is very tall from his eyes in the original and somewhat toonish in terms of proportions).

Biiiiiiiiig hair

I find it quite interesting of characters capable of wielding large sword and maces with a single hand.

There's a difference between haters:
1. Person just don't want to search such content
2. Person hates it so much he also wants nobody to view the content.

Avoid being the latter. If you hate something, leave it be.

Seems like males with long hair and garments/jewellery are your finesse.

Surprise fanarts of him looks way better than the original official art of him IMO.
