This kind of shit has bothered me in leftist spaces (even queer spaces for Christ's sake) for a long time. The amount of "open minded" people I've met who suddenly draw the line at extremely tame but "unsavory" sexuality/kink blows my mind.

Ana Valens | 🔞 | Comms Open @acvalens.net · Sep 1

Leftist content creators have deeply failed the current moment because they know they will get attacked by certain fans for ie criticizing SB 20 or defending porn. A lot of people are failing to meet the moment and are risking future credibility

devilcereal.bsky.social @devilcereal.bsky.social · Sep 1

Lord is it depressing that only alt right or heavy right leaning YouTubers are talking about this and the online safety act, Leftist YouTubers who usually talk about the erasure of queer spaces, censorship etc quite these last few weeks.I have had to do a deep rethink on who cares about censorship.

Just a reminder, banning porn doesn't just mean going after OnlyFans or Pornhub. It also means banning written erotica. Smutty voice audios. Video games with sexual content. Your favorite romantasy novels. Fetish photography. Erotic art.

It's never just about pornographic films.

SWOP Behind Bars @swopbehindbars.bsky.social · Aug 14

Glad to see the pushback on payment processors regarding games. But remember, the fight is far from over. There is still an effort to criminalize porn, and hopefully we all know by now that porn can mean anything from OF to books to games to magazine covers.

Republican bill would ban all porn in the US

Republicans have reintroduced a bill which aims to ban porn in its entirety across the US, causing immense concern among adult creators.

Exactly this. The game industry can't fix late stage capitalism and we can't all be runaway successes.

We have to tax the rich and guarantee a basic standard of living so people can actually pursue art that speaks to them.

We are preventing a generation of art so billionaires can have more yachts

Silksong was developed the way it was because the developer didn't have to worry about money.

The only way you get more games developed like Silksong is if Universal Basic Income becomes a thing.

Sneak peek of what I'm cooking lately!

#LambdaBetterGrass is coming back! Who needs runtime resource packs anyway? The mod now directly injects the runtime-generated textures instead, which easily removes any reliance on Quilt, allowing to move back to Fabric, and should be faster to load.

#mcdev

A screenshot of a landscape in Minecraft with the debug HUD opened, displaying the presence of LambdaBetterGrass with the grass blocks connecting to each other. The debug HUD mentions this is a screenshot from Minecraft 1.20.1 with Fabric.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Amadi Lovelace @amaditalks.bsky.social · Aug 15

300,000 Black women have been pushed out of their employment in the last three months. This resegregation isn't just racial, it's also heavily gendered.

Emily L. Hauser (she/her) ❌👑 @emilylhauser.bsky.social · Aug 15

So, to be clear:

*Federal employment, which built much of the Black middle class—attacked & slashed

*Cities with Black mayors—targeted

*Black neighborhoods/communities—invaded

*Affirmative action @ colleges—eliminated

*Black history—demonized, erased, & written over

They
are
re-
segregating.

A family is suing Roblox after their 13-year-old daughter was kidnapped by a predator she met on the platform.

The lawsuit claims Roblox failed to protect users despite having safety tools.

This incident raises serious concerns about child safety online.

As a large page who cares deeply about indie games and has also published to itch before, I'm sharing this to mention that a great amount of LGBT content has been deindexed alongside NSFW content. This is an attack on the rights of indie Devs and the LGBTQ+ community. Support indie Devs in this time

reminder that in the 80s jesse ventura wanted to unionize wrestlers for better healthcare and safety standards. hulk hogan ratted him out to vince mcmahon.
that's why the average WWE obit reads like "died at 36 after every bone in his skull simultaneously shattered. his blood screened for uranium."
