CW: Eating Disorder Fat shaming doesn't work 🙅🚫 somehow I hadn't posted this here yet! (1 of 2) #OldBearComics #TheBearMinimum

Text reads: I'd like to talk about fat shaming and how it doesn't work. I've been above average weight all my life and been shamed for it by peers, elders, family and strangers alike.
Art depicts: wicked shadowy figures loom around holly, judging and chastising her as she stands looking embarrased and trying to cover her belly.

Text reads: You know what it got me? A cripplingly poor self-image and eating disorder... I'd bet money that many people who experience fat shaming end up the same way.
Art depicts: Holly bear bent over with her head in the toilet couching as if she had just vomited.

Text reads: Sure a small portion of people might turn their anger and spite into motivation to loose weight. More likely they will internalize that disgust and turn it on themselves.
Art depicts: Holly lifting weights in front of a mirror, her reflection is a shadowy wicked version of herself who sneers and says 'Work harder Fatass' at which she gets angry and yells at it to 'Shut the fuck up!'

Text reads: What does it do for anyone, but give an outlet to your personal disgust, at having to see someone -you- don't find aesthetically pleasing? Mocking fat people for existing does nothing but hurt them and make you look cruel.
Art depicts: Holly bear glowering and making a gesture of frustration

The cozy island simulator experience 🌴 🏠️

PANEL 1
Isabelle from Animal Crossing is speaking to a new villager we can only see from behind.
ISABELLE: Welcome to the island! You be our newest resident?

PANEL 2
The villager is revealed. They look like Bob, but have Ditto's face and hat from Pokopia. He is frozen, about to steal some mums. No dialog.

PANEL 3
The same image, Ditto speaks.
DITTO: Maybe.

PANEL 4
Birds eye view of Ditto walking through the island and stealing everything. Flowers. Fences. Wood. Iron. Streetlights. Behind him is a trail of empty plots and a flustered Isabelle chasing him.

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults.

Hey folks –

I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news.

I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.)

Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence.

Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details.

And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

If you are a canadian and use the internet even to the slightest degree to engage with other people, you need to do research into Bill S-209 to see how it could affect you. Make sure your voice is heard and don't just assume other people will voice your concerns or do things for you. Be proactive.

I still refuse to believe this statement is true as Stripe has banned NSFW for basically their entire time operating, and this message seems specifically designed to push blame off of them as they're getting hammered with calls. All the more reason to continue to call and continue to pressure them!

SJ Klapecki (should be writing) @sjklapecki.itch.io · 24/07/2025

sent an email to support@itch.io, strongly suggest other writers, artists, game devs, etc. who give a shit do similarly

Email to support@itch.io, subject line "De-indexing of NSFW and adult work." Email content is too long for alt text, so slightly edited for character limit:

Given recent rumours of the delisting and deindexing of adult work across all of itch.io, I wish to ask if these rumours are true (and a binary yes/no answer would be preferred to the question 'Is concealing NSFW and adult work from search and indexes now a policy of itch.io?') and voice my strong opposition to this for a multitude of reasons if it is.

1) "Adult" and "NSFW" are often used to discuss queerness, as queerness almost inherently brushes against topics of sexuality, bodies, and human desire. There are ways to create content about queerness which ARE 'safe for work,' however--

2) There are ongoing campaigns to cast all forms of queer life as sexualized and perverse, not fit for consumption by decent people, and so on. Itch.io risks legitimizing these attitudes by suddenly deplatforming immense amounts of queer art, and thus

3) the de-indexing of adult work will inevitably disproportionately impact already precarious queer artists and writers and game-developers who have trusted itch.io and promoted it as a safe, accepting, place for art that the mainstream may reject. This is a betrayal of thousands of members of your artistic community who have put faith in your website and organization that will inevitably crater the reputation and user base of itch.io.

If this is not the new policy, then I hope whatever technical error occured is resolved. If this is the new policy, I hope you will backtrack. If you will not backtrack, then I will be joining the exodus of writers, artists, game devs, and other creatives who once trusted you as we search for a place where queer art may be, for a time, safe.
