I mean knowingly and deliberately showing minors explicit adult content is a pretty fucking serious felony, if that's what was done. Not having seen the image in the post, youtube might not be the people to go to on this one, mods are employees of google first.

Oh fuck off.

Oh man I feel this. Spent years developing my style as a ballpoint pen artist and it just hurts too much to do now. This is the last thing I worked on and it'll never be finished unless I get robot arms lol.

Fwiw I think your art right now is really beautiful in a different way.

Anyway this isn't about furry but this does give an idea how silly I find anyone that shames me for being part of it. 'Inclusive' isn't always as much as we want it to be but it does strive for that by claiming it, and just being part of a culture with that value has helped me grow as a human being.

I had no framework to think of it differently, my parents were outwardly deep blue democrats but racist in ways I'm still realizing. I have since realized 'white' isn't something worth preserving. Furry, yes, Michigander, yes, Wisconsinite, 👍. These don't need 'white' to exist and thrive without it.

Early on among furries I was surprised by POC at cons because in my mind it was a white thing, because I was white and had no experience with culture not being claimed for white people when not spoken otherwise. It was ignorant and racist. It sparked questioning why I felt that way and opened doors.

Been thinking about this a lot lately. You sound crazy to people indoctrinated in its validity even to Not Racists but the reality is white supremacy constantly crushes cultures emerging and claims them as 'white,' erasing the membership and legitimacy of non-whites whenever and wherever it can.

Jesus fucking christ you're _not_ that interesting that anyone gives a fuck. We already know centrists will bootlick until they're being shoved in the ovens, we get it, your point has been _thoroughly_ made and we've already read your sternly worded letter.

What diminishes people pursuing instruments is what works against our culture in collaboration and transmission of music skills. Herding cats is trivial compared to getting someone to meet up to make music. Why subject yourself to any amount of insecurity or uncertainty when Splice is right there?

I've been making music since I was a kid and I don't feel diminished by it at all, not sure how that's even possible. Having rheumatoid arthritis kind of nukes any prospect of using instruments right now, my choices are electronic and collaboration.

Why is this sculpture here in the downtown? It could be a gas station that's closer, and it may provide cover for brigands!

People need to learn what monopsonies are like yesterday. This is them trying to position themselves as the sole buyer/labor source, not just seller. Has horrifying results, the most familiar people might be with is music streaming, the second-most, company towns.

I have no interest in people scolding those using Suno if they haven't deleted Spotify. It's easy to blame individuals making it marginally more difficult for artists. It's harder to tell your friends they're participating in a nigh indestructable monopsony that makes success as an artist pay to win
