May the right fire burn within me.

There is hatred all around me.
But i wont let it win.
I can fight for what I love,
more than against what I hate.

Not my picture but my god this EXACTLY sums up why I'm so done with goddamn internet discourse. Everyone feels they have to have a take. It feels like people are seeking out negativity rather than just... enjoying what they do like.

I genuinely don't wanna be around people who act like this anymore

Nevermind I'm a fool apparently the solution is just searching with the # in place

Anyone know if there's a way that I'm not finding to only see posts that are TAGGED in a search rather than any post even mentioning a piece of media in passing? This is one thing I really don't care for about searching media/fandom tags here.

This platforms moderation is currently unable to tell the difference between artistic/non-sexual nudity and explicit pornography How do you expect them to be able to differentiate between consensual and non-consensual?

and really, I do not believe that everyone needs to "get weirder now," or that everyone needs to "make more nsfw," etc. what I do believe, however, is that everyone should look to those already making that work and sit in dialogue with them. support their work, substantiate their humanity.

as soon as you allow for selective interpretation, everything is on the table. it's not about noncon art, it's about labeling whatever art that inconveniences them noncon. what are you going to do? complain about it? lol

yes, you should, and be loud about it

The upcoming proposed rules surrounding NSFW art are bad and the Bsky mod team should feel bad.

Fellow artists: Remember that even if you don't make NSFW art, rules like these eventually come back to bite us all, especially if we make works about queerness.

also: don't delete your art or accounts in advance, make it hard for them.

This is one of many reasons porn bots are STILL so rampant on even a platform as afraid of nipples as tumblr is. Who is this protecting?

Since it clearly needs to keep being said: censorship does not keep "icky" content from being posted, it just means the poster labeling it appropriately now has a negative consequence and more people will have to see things they could otherwise avoid with filters.

It protects no one.

IDK who needs to hear this today, but you do not need intimate knowledge of ANYTHING, not even fundamentals, to draw. You dont need to be an expert to just doodle and do your thing.

No matter where you are on your journey - YOU ARE AN ARTIST.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.

This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!

www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

e-6695 (Consumer protection)

Keywords
Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography

E-petition
Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario

Original language of petition: English
Petition details
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:

Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content;
In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites;
As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”;
As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and
This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to
1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services;
2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and
3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.
