got a bit carried away answering an anon about the recent wave of censorship hitting nsfw games and art, but i think i got my point across.

A screenshot of me answering an anonymous ask on tumblr. The ask says: "damn, y'all are big mad that rape simulator 3000 isn't available anymore". My response goes: i know that it must be really easy for you to sit behind anon and feel morally superior saying this, because the nature of the media that institutions are trying to ban is NSFW and kinky, thus making it "embarrassing" and difficult to defend. But the fact that it's easy to cast opposition in a light that presents them all as "degenerate" perverts and therefore incentivises people to take warning voices less seriously is something worth examining. Sex workers have always been canaries in the coal mine for encroaching fascism and puritanism because "protecting the kids" is a slogan that is, on paper, impossible to oppose, but always ALWAYS is the start of a slippery slope of censorship that grows to include sexual liberation, queer existence, queer joy, and transparency in queer medical help.

My response continues:Banning content purely because it's obscene has always been a dangerous sentiment because noone has the same parameters of what's appropriate. Trans people just existing is obscene to some. That doesn't make them more morally correct when they bang their drums for trans representation to be eradicated. You bring up "rape simulator 3000" as evidence that we need limitations on NSFW media. Okay. So what did you say when Mouthwashing was banned, a game that explicitly depicted sexual assault in the context of male accountability, and moved thousands of people online? Is all art depicting anything unsavoury, no matter the intention, destined to be stripped from the internet? Are the SA victims who deal with their trauma and reclaim their bodies through SA roleplay worthy of shame and derision for not doing it in a sanitised way you approve of?

Are you truly prepared to let your government, wherever you live, decide what is suitable for you to come across online? How far would you be willing to take that? Are governments allowed to disrupt BDSM forums? Are websites educating people about appropriate knifeplay or CNC set to be wiped off the face of the earth? Or have you, in a desire to cater your own online experience, become someone who arrogantly orders for the table without asking what everyone wants to eat?

That is SO true! I'm SO tired of all this preaching of current shows, and those ugly designs! Also, HB and HH works with kinks AMAZINGLY lots of animes should really learn from them how to make fanservise RIGHT!

Melinda Tankard is involved with this movement and as she goes on to try to ban fictional shit and hurting women she claims to protect she didn't even lift a finger during the Netflix's Cuties scandal and actually said they shouldn't ban it.

Guess pedophilia doesn't matter when it's real kids.

Jealousy. Pure and simple. I love to see every time how they 💩talk your shows and characters and complain how "problematic" everything is. But, truth is, you get not one, but TWO shows picked up by a big company, and their "totally cool and absolutely unproblematic" ideas never gonna be picked!

So, after entering actual adult life and realizing I would never be as good as some other artists, why waste so much money and time over something what will never bring me any actual profit or satisfaction. So, I quit, and now only draw occasionally, when I have time and motivation.

It is actually liberating. Drawing didn't bring me any joy. After certain point (post puberty I guess) it became a chore. I've spend 6 years drawing a fancomic, to force myself to draw things I usually don't, and even though it did bring me certain improvement, it wasn't enough.

I, personally, didn't. Some time ago I just gave up on drawing, it didn't bring me any profit or even desirable improvements. So now, I only draw once a decade.
Cons of adult life, but, it might be liberating.

This is a part of one hell of a collection. I used to watch lots of "cringe animation compilations" and drew random ocs from there...A LOT! I actually admire everyone from this compilations! No matter what, they still did it!
