#Kickstarter is the latest to screw over creators and fans in the ongoing #pornocalypse .

I'll save my commentary until I've had a chance to read over some analysis. So far, the only people reporting on this seem to be spicy artists ... and a group that thinks this is totally excellent and about time.

Support queer and spicy artists. Fuck Kickstarter and every other company that has already betrayed us for prudes.

Amazon and #pornocalypse redux (remember that Amazon was the trigger for the erotica writer who invented the word "pornocalypse", see https://www.erosblog.com/2013/05/01/the-pornocalypse-comes-for-us-all/

Aren't you glad you aren't on corporate social media? "I offered to tittyfuck my husband in a personal message, and apparently that's bullying."

If anybody's looking for an interesting example of algorithmic bias in automated moderation and censorship, I think I've spotted one.

Black woman from a 1966 pinup magazine rejected from a Reddit group for nudes: "Please do not post AI generated images."

As @ErosBlog says so well:

"Ultimately, the #Pornocalypse comes for us all."

Even the Fediverse.

Bluesky has decided they need that VC money, so they will try to become Xchitter of the Center. The Left and "abberant" sexual expression is expendable and not VC friendly, so, it's gotta go.

Australians, here's an opportunity for you to help combat the global efforts to use private industry to control what otherwise legal products and services adults are able to spend their money on.

Australians, spread this petition far and wide. Demands Parliament “open anti-trust investigations and penalize the unregulated monopoly of a key part of everyday infrastructure,” as “payment processors are not there to regulate what legal content people consume.”

@Black_Flag Think they already know 😢

Back in June:
"Furry artists are the latest to enter the crosshair of the payment processor censors according to a recent Terms of Service for #Fansly, a subscription platform for content creators."

The updated Itch adult content guidelines have dropped.
They made Leaf shut so much down.

My digital art based on my own nudes was sailing close to the wind as it was based on photographic self-portraits... at least I only ran with fairly vanilla imagery in our first issue.

But the list of works that cannot be sold is really the killer here. We produce work that touches on several of the explicitly barred categories.

In some cases because some of those are harmless kinks, WTF is wrong with you, but also, because I should be able to make and sell art that discusses, depicts and fictionalises what has been done to me.

I know my way around running businesses and online platforms. I can deploy my own shit and sort out my own payment processing. We should be able to be up and running with our own platform within the month, even if I have to register a completely separate legal entity for it (and I should).

But owning and running your own shit isn't a solution for everyone, and it fucking sickens me that artists and creatives are being silenced like this.

I hope Archive Team is set to pick up the games that might be lost.
If you have a free adult game or other media on Itch, throw it on some archive sites or on Usenet. Keep your art alive.
