Can people stop trivializing CSA by throwing the word "p*doph*lia" at everything and everyone they don't like? Hell, can we acknowledge the difference between that and child predators? Bc 9 times out of 10, CSA has nothing to do with paraphilia and is instead evil people wanting to feel big.
Genie wish, cause then I have 2 extra chances to make it so much more fun.
Awesome, and cute, pieces from an awesome artist! Thankies :D

I’ve shared this before, but it feels important to reshare today:
Keep calling paypros with us. As recently as this week someone familiar with Mastercard said there's discomfort within the company over the phone calls.
Numbers and info:

Padded up dino, ready for action!
Sometimes, yes. Like, I don't know I'm holding anything, but as soon as I have the tapes on, my bladder finally decides to make itself known. And that's if I haven't already started peeing during my change.
Keep Furry Weird!
Never Sanitize Pride!

And, in an era where EVERYBODY is coming after us for no real good reason, it's better to just put in a little extra work to protect yourself rather than hope and pray that someone won't be stupid or careless with their notes.
Lately, I've been trying to encourage more artists to use invoices to save themselves the trouble, since you can't ever control what notes someone is gonna put on that payment otherwise.
Invoices are the way to go for NSFW artists, or even SFW artists that make art PP still thinks is NSFW.
I feel ya on that. But, have you ever tried to find your phone in the dark while using it as a flashlight?
You can't help somebody who doesn't wanna help themself. It's sad that this person keeps wasting their money by going to get help, only to reject it cause it doesn't fit in with the ideals they so badly want it to.
the usual vagueness is present here that is usually a bad sign to come for adult content.
bluesky is taking feedback on the guidelines at this link below. Let them know these are not satisfactory

I pick the 2nd option. If you don't like certain kinds of art, move on and don't look at it.
If you're gonna wear diapers like a baby, you're gonna be expected to use them. No big girl potty, anymore... well, unless you want a spanking, that is.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.
It aired in 1990.
Ik what it's like to have people go after you for your tastes in art, and it's not fun. We need to treat each other better, ESPECIALLY right now. We can't try to purify our own fandoms, or else we'll become no better than those trying to purify us.
1000% agree. I prefer my pr0n to be adults, but I'd be the first to jump in and help a cub or shota/loli artist if they needed it cause they're doing nothing wrong. Artistic expression is something people NEED to have to live a happy and healthy life.
Also, don't forget feral artists.
An image of a huge jackboot crushing a comic artist and a bunch of comic pages. The boot is marked by the logos for MasterCard, Visa, Paypal, and Stripe. Below the image there is text which reads: Don't let Payment Processors tell YOU what you can buy! It is not a payment processor's role to decide what kind of content you can or cannot spend money on, so long as it is a legal transaction. Fight back against the unjust policies hurting artists and creators online! https://yellat.money/ https://stop-paypros.neocities.org/
Let's Keep Calling!
For any artists dealing with adult content bans, I want to encourage you to get involved in the sex worker rights movement. While illustration is not the same as sex work, we share many of the same struggles, and our fights will be stronger if we collaborate.
Keep on blowing up their phone lines, let them know we won't take this lying down! And, if they tell you hang up and send them emails, instead, don't listen cause emails are too easy to ignore.
Not only this, but they want you to just send emails instead cause they're easy to ignore (but they can't say that part)... phone calls aren't.
Gotta love how it's always "protect the children". What, you mean the children that shouldn't even be online in the first place? At least, not without parental controls setup, anyway.
Also, best of luck in your endeavors with the BS in this world. If you look into Canada and find it suits you better, then go for it if you want or can easily enough.
After Trump got elected, Canada was the first place I looked at to move cause, being American, I wouldn't need a plane ticket or anything crazy to move all my stuff.
Wish it was easier to figure out a good place to live nowadays.
Yea, gotta give him time normally, but from I've heard, he's only been trying to make things worse. The only thing I've heard they like is he refuses to work with Americans anymore, and won't bend the knee to Trump.
Granted, there is a chance I'm not exactly getting the best info, but from my understanding, even after Trudeau stepped down, things never got better like they were supposed to.
Not worse than the US, kinda hard to do that, especially at this point.
But, what I've heard about Canada ain't exactly flattering either. Anti LGBTQ laws being ruled on, the housing crisis that has been an issue for a while, and the job market doesn't sound great either.
People need to understand this and push back. The only reason any politicians even care is cause trying to purify things like the internet gets them brownie points.
