Re: SubscribeStar banning sexual content with characters that don't have "human-like knee orientation" fsjdkldbh

Tried to shitpost and got carried away lol
https://subscribestar.adult/prohibited_content

Damn babe your knees are looking very advertiser-friendly today
@masklayer thank fuck payment processors are here to protect us from cartoon drawings
@masklayer in primitive victorian 2026 this was considered extremely lewd
@kirakira @masklayer kira pls you cna't just openly post debauchery like zhis

@kirakira @masklayer This uh

wouldn't be that hard to achieve with high heels

@clayote @kirakira @masklayer just shop high heels on your anthro dog
@clayote @kirakira @masklayer posting a photo of myself standing on my toes and getting banned from all global online commerce instantly
@nightjar @clayote @kirakira @masklayer
if they're going to ban people for toewalking how long until they ban all autistic people
@floppyplopper @clayote @kirakira @masklayer an attack on toe walking and furry art. Clearly this is targeting the autistic community
@nightjar @floppyplopper @clayote @kirakira @masklayer and ballet is now haram, can't go en pointe without looking digitigrade
@patterfloof @nightjar @clayote @kirakira @masklayer
if you want my series on getting pegged by the cast of swan lake you're going to have to pay cash 😩 πŸ’° 🦒 πŸ₯΅

@floppyplopper @nightjar @clayote @kirakira @masklayer paying by the family birthday technique

here's a birthday card I've hastily scribbled on to say "Happy Wednesday" & seem to have left some cash in the middle

@patterfloof @floppyplopper @nightjar @clayote @kirakira @masklayer

I have returned with an update:

> The team behind subscribeStar created a whole new site for adult content called riotModels. It has the same subscribeStar look, but feels more like onlyFans.

@rusty__shackleford @patterfloof @nightjar @clayote @kirakira @masklayer
"taboo art" surely this is going to be a good faith project this time πŸ™„ 😩
@masklayer Fuck you subscristar leave my digitigrade legs alone!

@masklayer
> the characters possess clearly humanoid anatomy (such as arms, human-like knee orientation, and an upright body posture)

Since it says "such as" I don't think this is anything more than an example of what "humanoid anatomy" means. I guess knees can be oriented whatever you want as long as the character is "clearly humanoid" whatever that means

@masklayer zhis is very funny but also I am going to fucking scream, *why are people like zhis*
@masklayer oh cool, you can still talk about weed as long as it's recreational πŸ˜‚
@masklayer This is absolutely absurd. like seriously what's next lmao

@masklayer i thought that misconception was thoroughly dead, to the point that it didn't even occur to me that this was what they meant until seeing this

i was trying to relate "knee orientation" and "sexual orientation"
-F

@masklayer
Weird kink to base a payment processor on
@masklayer man they really sat down in a boardroom and said "you know what this world needs? female presenting nipples 2: the sequel"
Wait, what? That's even more moronic than female presenting nipples!

Who cares what people do with animals anyway? Outside of vegan PETA nuts.
Anthropomorphic Characters
Sexual content involving anthropomorphic characters (commonly referred to as β€œfurry” characters) may be permitted only when all of the following conditions are met:
the characters possess clearly humanoid anatomy (such as arms, human-like knee orientation, and an upright body posture)
Content depicting explicit sexual activity involving non-anthropomorphic animals (β€œferal” characters) is prohibited.
What a load of four-legged bull shit.
@cy @masklayer I'm very much against zoophilia, but these are not real people or animals. Some of these animals have sentience and moral agency. Anthropomorphism is not always visually represented. Do lions talk like these in Lion King? Visually these Disney lions are visually feral.
The idea is (sigh) that since actual zoophilia is bad, we should make zoophiles feel bad, and banning feral artwork (thus increasing incidences of animal abuse) is good because anything that makes them feel bad is good. I personally don't give a fuck about what animals do together, which helps keep me from getting outraged when I hear that zoophiles are not constantly miserable.

@masklayer You've heard of consent bone, now get ready for consent knee.
@Owlor @masklayer i have not heard of consent bone. what?
@masklayer This is getting ridiculous.
@masklayer so if you draw two regular wild lions in the savanna fucking, something you'd likely see if you watched a nature documentary on PBS; now banned?
@old_angry_queer @masklayer in order to not get banned, you have to attach an audio clip of David Attenborough narrating the piece 

@OctaviaConAmore i mean i would have included david attenborough in the bushes with a pair of binoculars masturbating while breathlessly narrating what he was seeing for the documentary.

@masklayer

@old_angry_queer @masklayer hmm... at that point, I guess the audio would have to reflect that  (I would be happy to provide the audio if someone can get the illustration going   )
@masklayer isn't that not just how some ppl walk?
@masklayer how do we have so many furries into tech and no one has tried to start a furry specific site akin to subscribestar? unless that has already been attempted......
@changelingcritter All roads lead to payment processors. Seems like you would have to make an adult-friendly one. I've fantasized about an adult site that is cash only, like how dispensaries operate. Then you move one rung out from the bottom of hell, up to "must comply with US law". I must have missed the law where consenting adults can't have sex if they are wearing certain "clothing".
@BigHeadMode I heard of a adult-friendly payment processor being made in Japan. Can't remember the name of it and who knows even if it will be available outside Japan
@changelingcritter @masklayer The problem is that it's visa or the bank driving this. Not many options for global backend payment processors. Europe is trying, who knows if they'll be any more liberal though. One can hope.
@masklayer wait im not seeing anything about this rule in the prohibited content, says it was last updated march 11 at 6am
@changelingcritter @masklayer Aye, it's been updated. Yesterday (10th) it had been updated to heavily restrict anthropomorphic characters and feral ones were effectively banned. Looks like they're backpedaling a bit.
unrelated, but the website for "some" reason shows me the interface in the russian language, despite me having a ukranian locale. at least the previous website that did this to me was open-source, so i was able to complain and they changed it to english
also, the dog on the right is literally just a dog
@masklayer oh my gosh how backwards!
Glad to see the plantigrated furries are okay though?!
I will refuse to make my sona a planti just because those people hate digis
(Imagine the head of the company is a furry themself but a planti and they hate digis for whatever reason xD)
@masklayer On the internet, SubscribeStar knows you're a dog.

@masklayer @baralheia

Holy shit, why would anyone use this platform? Their ruleset is fucking garbage.

@rusty__shackleford @masklayer Yeah it didn't used to be like that but... I'm guessing they're being pressured into it by their payment processor, like so many others.

@baralheia @masklayer

We need payment processors as much as they need our money. There is an equal amount if leverage there, in fact, I would say websites have more leverage over payment processors. This spineless behavior shows that it's not a good environment for creators. One day your work could just be gone.

Also, some of these rules seem to have contradictions built in.

@masklayer Aren't most of SubscribeStar's users furries? How do they expect to make any money at all? I don't think I've ever heard of a "normal" person putting their porn on there.

@jackemled I honestly thought Subscribestar was an exclusively furry site before you said that.

@masklayer

@masklayer another bad (in my opinion) rule is that they consider it CSAM if you draw sexy fanart of a character who's under 18 in the source material, but over 18 in the art (i.e. aged up) - as if real life minors don't grow up to become adults
@masklayer Mr. President, a second consent bone has hit the big titty wolf
@masklayer reminds me of the time tumblr banned anything flesh toned lmao
@masklayer In order to be fair they need to ban any content involving humans standing on their toes or wearing heels.

@masklayer I'm with the left side of this!

...Not the right side though. That is all _super_ human centric. I'm an actual animal fur, we exist, furry should not be defined by how Human it is. :<
