The left has officially reversed its position on statues of white supremacists

It was always about the queerness

Kinda weird that the US elite is full of child molesters flying to pedophile island but if a poor artist ages Sailor Moon up to 18 to sell porn to anime fans she gets obliterated from the internet

You don't hate payment processors enough. You don't hate them enough

4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans They ruled that states "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" through care bans is a constitutional goal, affirming West Virginia's Medicaid ban for trans adults.

1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.

An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.

It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

Sad to say, but the writing is on the wall with Substar. This statement doesn't change things, they showed their cards, and its hard to trust any company now when it comes to stuff like this, especially in this current political/economic climate. Will be finding means elsewhere to support my work.

They want to take away the PayPro excuse of "We can't provide services to sex workers/adult artists/other icky people because it's BAD for our REPUTATION."

Remember, it's perfectly normal for you to feel disgust or uncomfortable. Everyone has a line that divides where they can abstract elements of a fantasy, an where things reminds them too much of real abuse to separate. So long as you're charitable, you aren't doing anything wrong.

Introduction: Talking about when FA went down for weeks about 8 years ago, leading to me never trusting any single platform with my artwork ever again. It explains that this is an attempt to share my philosophy of being present online and try to encourage others to take from it. It features an illustration of a surreal looking rabbit, floating in a meditative pose, with six arms splayed out in a symmetrical way, surrounded by several orbs with various site logos inside each of them.

Preamble: Talking about this being a pet issue for me given my experiences, and how it's been happening for many years now. Capitalism's endeavors to give the cheapest viable product has ruined the Internet by going from being a haven into something to be exploited. This isn't about fishing for sympathy, but sharing a personal experience from over the years should illustrate this trend's effects. This trend will continue.

Anecdotes: Listing various sites' decisions leading to me both losing and having to spend a lot of time and energy to relocate myself. Tumblr being my best performing site before the porn ban; Patreon hinting at their policy change early on, leading to me leaving four years prior to the banwave last year; and FA suspending and serving me a final warning after almost 20 years of activity on the site.

Observations and Conclusion: Explaining how these experiences have led to me being extremely cautious, if not paranoid, about sites changing tack and deciding that I shouldn't be there any more. Centralized management in this Capitalist environment simply doesn't work any more, so we need to reclaim control where we can. I have an idea to try and help with this, but that will be shared in a later post.

Omnipresence, Revisited
Part 1/2: On Belonging Nowhere, As a Digital Kink Artist

Longform text: cohost.org/ChocoSune/po...

This is at least the fourth time that I've found myself uprooted from a place I've been operating from, so I got to thinking and writing.

Please read and share. Thank you. 💝

This has been seared in my mind since I first read it

Cohost died since I wrote this, so you can now read this on my site, linked below.

This article and the message it holds have been pretty much evergreen, but I genuinely wish it could've gotten left in the past.

RT if it'll help even one person currently dealing with this shit again.

Seeing some people bring up the fact that I've been screaming about this for years now - without me having said anything this time - has been really encouraging.

I appreciate being actually listened to for a change, so thank you. 💝

NGL if someone is under 23 their opinion on kink matters absolutely nothing to me.

I'm not sure if equally yet, but we are heading the same direction if we don't massively pivot.

This is important if you don't want visa or MasterCard to tell you how to spend your money.

I wanna post something a little less angry.

I know quite a few people in the community that were very anti problematic kinks (incest, noncon, cub, etc.) that have, in the last few months, to draw boundaries but also be charitable.

I'm so proud of your growth and know you are resisting fascism.

People believe that it will stop at the line that makes them comfortable. Fucking useful idiots.

ABDL and feral and hypnosis and cub and incest and noncon are all pretty hot and cool. If it's not targeting or harming real people then who gives a shit. If you're not into it then just let other people be happy. Fuck puritans and conservatives. Get back at the world by being as kinky as possible.

The furry convention found your town's amenities to be lacking and will not be relocating here

You're an unhinged, dangerous person. Hope one day you realize this and better yourself.

Nazifur sockpuppets are wilding today.

Because the Nazis totes didn’t go after LGBTQ people over harmless kinks and behaviors with vigilante justice.

This one is not a historian, lmao.

Would be nice for a week to pass without feeling like we’re going through the digital equivalent of gay bars getting raided by police.

What a fucking brain dead moron

memes are born out of these stupid TOS moments (female-presenting nipple, minor-like adult, and human knees) because they are foolish and surreal enough to sound like memes and satire…only, the harm is real.

all we can do is laugh & make it known that what they’re doing is fucking ridiculous

Listen man,I don't care if something "irks" you in a drawing, yall desperately need to learn the difference between real life and drawings before the only thing you're allowed to jack off to are 2 people praying with their clothes on

I have a simple HTML template I made a few years back for anyone who wants to setup their own site. You can cost for free on neocities.

I think the first step is to build an ABDL/babyfur webring to connect everyones site together through hyperlinks. Also you can now surf the ABDL web.

These fucks in charge of the world have billions of dollars and are actually trafficking children (among other things).

I'm not fucking hurting anyone. I just want to be able to eat.

Zooooooms in on the bear

Would luffy befriend-

Yes.

Yes to any.

Monero is the way to go if we are forced to use crypto, as much as I hate the prospect. Liquidity might be an issue tho
