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

actions that will contribute more to pushing against bluesky's censorship than a blackout:

-submitting a feedback request
-@ing moderation about it
-commenting on mods posts about it
-making and sharing memes (ex: "i consent!" sticker)
-leaving an app store review
-just generally posting about it

Valve no longer allows "Post-launch NSFW content" for games on Steam - outside of DLCS.
I have looked through Steam's Terms of Service online, but have found no official rule or statement from Valve of this new rule - but one Adult game developer has confirmed this new rule after launching their game
"Tales of Legendary Lust: Aphrodisia" a couple days ago.
With the recent rule change blocking adult-themed games from releasing on Early Access, this new rule seems to be targeting Adult-themed games that have ALREADY released on Steam - and threatens them with their games being removed from Steam.
There are currently 536 Adult-rated Early Access games on Steam - and this new rule may take them all down.

I've learned of a #Discord server run by a creep who demands pictures of minors and refuses to let you leave this group if you join, because joining lets her see your email and what servers you're in, and even join them. gigimanager is extorting pics of minors out of people under threat of doxxing.

A screencap I was shown of gigimanager's server entry that says she can see your email adress, know what servers you're in, and join them.

I am sincerely hands and knees begging people to do this.

The existential threat is getting pretty immense and it's not slowing down, not with the gov't *openly stating* that "consensual porn" is in the crosshairs.

*Please* call. Please write physical letters. Please keep the pressure on.

This is one of those things btw where calling/mailing VISA et al and being as willfully dense as possible is an amazingly good idea.

Bring up everything you own that falls under the category 'fantasy.'

Bring up everything you own with cat ears.

Be a pedantic little fuck about ALL of it.

He added about Kirk, “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that is the environment we are in. You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we are in.”

Panel 1: We see from the inside of a house as a large, muscular leg, belonging to someone clearly taller than the doorway, kicks the door off of its hinges, cracking the door and sending splinters flying everywhere and taking chunks out of the wall that it's attached to. The door itself is flying off into the room with the handle and hinges falling off.

Panel 2: A large muscular figure with a head that looks like a Minecraft dirt block bends into the doorway, wrapping the fingers of its right hand around the frame and moving its left shoulder in first. It says "ALRIGHT, TIME FOR THE MONTH-LONG MINECRAFT ADDICTION YOU GET EVERY 4 YEARS"

Panel 3: We look from behind the figure's shoulder as we see that Shen is being held hostage by Hornet from Hollow Knight: Silksong. She is standing behind him, with her needle to his throat, as he looks at the Minecraft dirt block guy in horror.

Panel 4: The Minecraft dirt block guy is outside again, on the grass next to the cement path leading up to the door, now leaning down with his left hand on his knee and his right hand closing the door gently with a "click". He seemingly put it back into place, despite it still being very broken. He says "some fights are beyond me."

Let that sink in.

Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Fatty's Den (MINORS DNI) @fattysden.bsky.social · Aug 9

The recent wave of restrictions of pornography (including kink / fetish stuff) in art, games, videos, etc. by payment processors and puritan groups runs to the political sphere at top. This recent censorship is a part of Project 2025, as it turns out. It's no conspiracy. THEY WANT TO CENSOR US!

A post on Twitter by the Gelbooru account that says:

Currently people are contacting Visa and Mastercard, en-masse, in an effort to get them to explain why they are banning legal content from being transacted through their systems. These arbitrary restrictions caused companies, such as Steam, Itch.io, and others to pull violent and adult video games from their platforms. They continue to remain silent on the reason WHY they enforced the restrictions on the companies. I surmise they are gagged from speaking through likely threat of regulatory pressure.

May I introduce, Russ Vought, a co-writer for Project 2025, Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget, AND Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/images/cfpb_headshot-russell-vought_DA8Ama7.original.png

This man has already publicly stated his desire to have pornographic content, violent video games, and other types of content "harmful to children", banned from the internet. This claim he makes is not based on unbiased scientific testing.

In a two minute clip posted on YouTube by The Intercept the following transcript, highlighted in yellow, shows his intended starting point (start with children), and then he cuts himself off from explaining the next part of the plan, of violent video games, etc, as that route had failed twice already in the past few decades.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0noIS9lmR0Y
https://imgur.com/CxpcUOs
https://theintercept.com/2024/08/16/project-2025-russ-vought-porn-ban/

Now, as his position in the CFPB, he has ultimate authority over payment providers and banks, and he has likely been abusing this power to strong-arm changes in these privately owned businesses regarding content he specifically had shown his distaste and hatred towards previously. All clearly telegraphed before hand, many years ago.

Continuing the tweet by the Gelbooru account:

This was ALL done in the guise of protecting the children. Admittedly, it is a very solid tactic, at the core. But, if you use the mantra of protecting the children, it tends to mean that it's just a ploy, usually to further a specific agenda.

They are a threat against the United States, nay, the entire world. They are a threat against our democracy, a threat against free speech, and a threat against gamers, a threat against media in general.

These are the same people who believe violent video games cause violent things. An entire generation of individuals have been playing Grand Theft Auto, playing Doom, Quake, and other games, but we are not currently, nor will we face a worldwide pandemic of armed car robberies, driving on sidewalks for the fun of it, or people running around with sawed off shotguns killing demons, or raping people, because a video game was made exploring the content.

Those in power have been eroding free speech in the law. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) provides immunity to online platforms from liability for content posted by their users. They are actively attempting to kill this protection to further their goals outlined in Project 2025, by passing liabilities of their userbase onto the operators via financial regulation threats and pressure, thus killing speech directly, while still keeping in the shadows publicly.

"He filmed the crimes and posted monetized rape videos on P*rnhub, earning revenue for him and the site owners."

https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1898747162306937184

This is their attempt to kill section 230 immunity.

You should not be frightened that they MAY come into power, they are ALREADY IN POWER. They are exercising it spectacularly, taking baby steps to erode away your speech, and we've all been asleep at the wheel.
