i've seen "it would really stick it to the devs if we left bsky" posts & no it wouldn't. they want this web site to be boring crypto idiots who cool their phones off in pools chatting with AI reply bots. instead they have to put up with us and that's deeply funny
I definitely get it, stress makes every joint feel like it's full of glass. I hope you're able to have a little rest and some time for yourself
That's great news, I hope this will give you some small amount of peace. As a fellow EDS-haver, I know how literally painful stress can be 😖
You can respond to this, but you can't respond to Modmad's art being stolen by the SMG4 team (your team) which Zag and Glitch are actively profiting off of, or her being harassed by your fans? Really?
Will you be responding to a certain artist's repeated attempts to reach you regarding harassment and art theft? It's not a great look that first the creator of TADC has been receiving harassment, now this, and there doesn't seem to be any response to either.
I'm so sorry this has been happening to you, people can be so obsessed and cruel, it's enraging
This is them trimming at the edges of what general gamers will put up with. They know gamers don't like "slop" so they'll start by cutting artists from the team by replacing that pesky concept art they have to pay for, then move onto the devs once that's been accepted. They always target art first.
Hmmmmm
An illustration of a cat-like demon whose body is a silhouette. He has long pointed ears, pointed horns, and a long tail with a fur tuft. He is crouched like a cat with his teeth bared and there are red flames behind him.

Honestly it feels like it has to be on purpose. It reeks of "we're tanking our userbase so private equity can strip us for parts". It's the last bastion of genuine engagement and businesses hate that. It doesn't make a profit so they had to ruin it for everyone, it's so sad to see
An image in the style of a 14th century illuminated manuscript, with Murdoc and Angel in profile facing each other. Murdoc is grinning and says to Angel "Ye cannot afford to draw the eyes of the landlord nor the monks. What few options ye have to ask my aid, girl." Angel is facing him with her lip curled in an irritated expression.

Using pirated software as a studio opens businesses up to huge litigations and million dollar lawsuits. Meta data can be leaked and people yap, so it's a huge risk, especially for small studios. "We're using Animate" after the cut-off and you're sued. They won't do it and for good reasons.

The very next post was reindeer furry with Christmas bondage, which was like taking a health potion after 40 points of AI psychic damage, thank you 🫡
The amount of AI art I've seen on my discover page is disappointing 🫠
Using AI is a betrayal not only to your players, but every member of your studio, artists everywhere, the ecosystem, and art as a concept. Fix your business, issue an apology , and hand the reigns back to actual artists before you lose every scrap of appreciation people once had for you.
This kind of attitude always spikes during conservative waves, it's like they just got off the Mayflower. You know they've got kinks they've buried because they scare them, and the only way to alleviate that guilt is to point fingers at other people. They're literally yelling at a mirror.

It's their dream. If they succeed and people comply, they get to steal/sell your identity. If people comply and go against the state in any way, they get to imprison you. If people don't comply, it makes the people unable to use the internet to communicate with each other. Absolutely horrorshow shit
There is a specific kind of sanitized, plastic and marketable sexuality that's acceptable and "normal" to the general public (Overly Sexualized (but still clothed) Cis Women) and anything that deviates from that makes it something human instead of manufactured and they just can't handle that
A drawing in the style of 14th century illuminated illustrations, depicting Angel and Murdoc. Angel is picking blackberries and ignoring Murdoc, who is leaning in towards Angel. There is a calling crow on his shoulder. A text box at the bottom reads "Witch seducing a virtuous maid" in gothic typeface.
