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:

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".

Anyway, these policies and guidelines are following pay processors demands 'cause we know BlueSky will need to implement sources of income sooner than later, and they're bending the knee to Visa and Mastercard to comply.
So keep pressuring paypros!

I left a 1 star review on the app store explaining how disappointed i was with their updated adult content policy.

I highly recommend doing so yourself too!

What ends up making Swap Grete maturing as the story progresses? — It's a mix of things. But mostly, I think it's that she's able to explore the world beyond her home. Her whole world tetratto.com/post/2278743...

A source familiar with internal workings at MasterCard notes the company is paying attention to calls around the payment processor issue. These calls continue to make the company uncomfortable internally

Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.

Meme from Parks and Recreation of Ron handing a paper to an officer and saying “Not to worry. I have a permit.”

Followed by a closeup image of the paper being held by the officer, edited to read:

“Every fictional character I’ve drawn and will draw having sex, has consented to being drawn that way. They told me themselves.”

You art is powerful and inspires many. It might never please everybody, even so, don't be stopped, don't be censored.

Post and post and post, I want to see all creativity here.

All of it.

Sinner Gretchen is a Rei Ayanami and Sinner Penelope is an Anthy Himemiya to me

I think I can add to those comparisons now by saying Sinner Yuzuki is a Laura Palmer

Listen it has become very clear that when he does die we need to be fucking mean about it. Even if you keep the kid gloves on they'll still come for you for speaking, so get that banter ready. Make them cry.
