until we see concrete evidence that bsky’s tiny ass moderation team has the manpower to enforce those new content guidelines, posting CAN and SHOULD continue completely unchanged

until proven otherwise, it’s empty words. call their bluff

that calvin and hobbes comic about “the law is on the books but it would take all their resources to enforce it”

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

#SaveSpeech

1/🧵

Multiple cropped screenshots showing portions of the bsky TOS before and now. Before: "iv. Encouraging self-harm or suicide
v. Depictions of excessive violence, gore, torture, dismemberment, or non-consensual sexual activity". Now: "ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non-consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions. iv. Do not create, share, or promote sexual content involving realistic risk of death or serious injury. i. Do not share content, methods, instructions, or promotion of self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, and extreme dieting practices.
ii. Do not share methods, instructions, depictions, or promotion of dangerous stunts or abuse of dangerous or controlled substances. 5. Protected Expression
B. Support, Recovery, and Mental Health:
i. Personal recovery experiences or survivor stories shared to promote healing and community support rather than encouraging harmful behavior.
ii. Sharing verified mental health resources, crisis prevention".

ftr this isn't the first time bluesky has done stupid as fuck shit. I was here in the trenches in 2023 watching them pull dumb moves and get yelled down by everyone to back down, successfully. the people running this place are not on your side but they are hilariously easy to bully. go hard.

You might see several artists mad about the bluesky policy update banning non-con, even artists who do not make that kind of material, and wonder why it's such a problem. If that's you, here is a quick breakdown:

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Petition
Ban payment processors stopping services based on objections to legal content
Government should legislate that payment processing companies may not place stipulations on use of their services regarding sales of otherwise legal content and, if they do so, must face legal penalties and must remunerate platforms and individuals for lost income until service is restored.

"Degradation" and "fantasy" are so vague, but to see cat ears and fairies specifically mentioned let's me know they intend to be extremely broad with how they interpret it.

This is "degenerate art" levels of censorship. We need ppl to start calling in the numbers we had a month ago about this

DCS 🔞 @darkchibishadow.bsky.social · Sep 9

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

An image taken from an e-mail from Payment Cloud to me. They list prohibited adult work, one of which just includes "Fantasy" which is as wide as cat ears and fairies. We are so cooked.

I don't know much about Witcher but this feels correct to Me. Bonus of Yen as a fujoshi I think that'd fit her
#comic #witcher3 #geralt #emhyr #ciri #yennefer

A two panel comic, featuring characters from Witcher 3. In the first panel, Geralt is posed as if this is going to be a hot thing, with dramatic lighting and flowing hair, as he says "You know, your daughter calls me 'daddy', too"
In the second panel, he is holding adult Ciri in a meme redraw, and is flipping Emhyr off. "Because she is MY daughter now, Emhyr," he says. "Because you're a shit father, Emhyr"
"Who let you in here," says Emhyr.
"We have matching hair and scars and ALL, Emhyr, do you see that," says Geralt.
"Witcher," warns Emhyr.
"OUR daughter, Emhyr," says Geralt.
"You could've at least shaved," says Emhyr, in a way that comes off very uncaring. "Where is Yennefer."
Ciri is nodding along with what Geralt is saying. In the background, we see the bad Ciri portrait. They are clearly in Emhyr's office.

Geralt and Emhyr kissing nasty style. Neither seems to be particularly enjoying it but there is something about a challenge or something. In the background, a chibi Ciri is horrified and disgusted. A chibi Yennefer stands next to her, arms crossed, eyebrow raised, discovering what being a fujoshi means.

Death by a thousand cuts. These censorious paypros and bills in committee will eat away at our ability to provide for ourselves. This is a sure outcome if we give up, but if we keep yelling we give ourselves another possibility

Adult games can no longer launch in Early Access on Steam. This is devastating for small projects (like my own!) because EA can be a much-needed lifeline while games are still in development

Ana Valens | 🔞 | Comms Open @acvalens.net · Aug 31

Heavy Hearts dev Dammitbird received the following notice from Steam, noting “your app has failed our review because we're unable to support the Early Access model of development for a game with mature themes”

This strikes me as overcompliance and censorious on Steam’s part

I don't use any mods when I play him (and the top image is from my friend's playthrough where he's their Tav's dream guardian) :') the reason why he originally even got this hairstyle and scales, I wanted them to soften that jawline lmao.
Am imagining he's more like the model pre-tadpol tho

Putting my own spin on it!

Call a payment processor to express your discontentment with the limitations they impose on adult content and websites like Steam, Itch.io and others. Show proof of call. Bust this man's hole.

...I tried a few, and just got told there was nothing there. May be a problem because I'm calling from the UK or something-? Anyway, I tried but none of them seem to be going through :( Sharing to spread word(And those cheeks) at least.
