Disney’s Wolverine gets to turn a guy’s brain into swiss cheese inside his skull and this is what we as americans consider to be “sfw content”

So am I supposed to ask characters in my horror comics if they consented to getting disemboweled by a monster? There wasn’t even a label for violent cartoons to begin with, the lines being drawn are asinine. Backwards society

things I would do if you're a nsfw/kink creative *now* because I've been eerily prescient about every single wave:

a) get a personal site with your own domain you own. *now*. not a carrd or third party squarespace. not next week. *now*. get it online with ugly-ass html but get your links there.

Commission

Two sketches of a naked woman with pale skin, no mouth and long black claws. The first one is a full body depiction of her walking while showing her claws, on the second one she has her back turned to the viewer with a neutral expression on her eyes.

This is kinda a sloppily written take and I think there are other perspectives on this that are really valid but this has kinda been where I'm at with regards to the policing of dark kink by platforms, sorry for the brick of text. Putting a TW for "sexual violence mention" on this too.

I have absolutely no beef whatsoever with people who prefer wholesome porn but I'm genuinely so sick of the policing that platforms have started on it these past couple years. I've been struggling to put my feelings about this into concise words, so apologies if this is clumsy, but I find it very ironic that this move to eliminate anything that could be perceived as, as they have decided to label it, "sexual violence" in small creator-made works, seems to be more heavily policing content made by the people who tend to be (more frequently but not exclusively) victims of that type of violence. They're shitting on women, NB, trans and LGBT+ people for having kinks that are, as some have theorized, possibly the RESULT of a society that creates this shame and stigma around sex for those people. Decontextualizing this work and trying to reframe it like it's all rape porn is its own kind of violence. We have our own words for it for a reason. Because that's not what it is. But I guess it's all kind of in line with this trend of only being able to view things from your own viewpoint, as if that's objective and true, and never considering things from the perspective of others. I don't want to make this a purely gendered issue because I think there can be nuance to the way cishet men make this content too, it's just this like, extra layer of bullshit. And there will be people who will only ever see this argument as "trying to defend rape porn" and that's the whole damn issue. People don't get to classify my own art for me and if I say it's not, then it's not.

I also wanna be really clear that having limitations on some spaces is entirely fine and enthusiastic consent is cool and I'm not at all saying that space for dark content should exist EVERYWHERE. I'm saying it should exist SOMEWHERE. Devaluing some art because it doesn't meet some ambiguous idea of "artistic integrity" but not other art is censorship and giving only people with money and industry connections control of the way those topics are portrayed. I'd rather read a small creator's authentic and honest take on a topic than a boiled down pre-packaged corporate one.

And so, it seems that even BlueSky wants to join the bigoted censorship that reigns supreme on social media. Shame!

I'd like to say it surprises me, but... U_u

PS We're not participating in #blueskyblackout2025 ...think the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves.

Even as an artist who doesn't do noncon work, it's still extremely important to protect those who do from this puritanical/prudish censorship! If the policy goes through in October as scheduled, expect a ton of artists to jump ship and/or reduce their posting significantly here.

Bsky's new TOS says it alone has the power to determine whether a fictional drawing shows consent

Demand that they REPEAL this harmful and misguided rule and to give us tools to protect creative freedom instead!

Post your porn with the tag #bskycensorship

Demand bsky listen to its users

Don't forget that paypros were also largely responsible for other censorship issues too. It always comes down to the money. So, do not stop the pressure on these companies just because we are mad at bsky too!

Noiry ☔ @noiry.bsky.social · 21d

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!

God I miss art so much. I went through a severe work issue for 2 months then immediately after a traumatizing breakup and more. 7 months later and finally I can work a normal amount and rest and create soon again.. but so much has changed. I've had to mourn the inability to make art this year
