I'm gonna save my hot take on the FurAffinity situation and just say - if you appreciate FA and want to support it, FA+ is most likely the best way to do so. I can't see myself subscribing, but I wish them all the best.

As someone that has stopped using software/platforms due to shifts away from perfectly usable designs, AND as an engineer that builds new elements on top of 19-year-old UI/UX daily, I legitimately do not understand this mentality against preserving established UI/UX with modular design.

So FurAffinity is killing off the classic theme in the near future, stating that it is hindering development of new code and only 4.6% of the user base uses the classic theme over the modern theme. Their answer? Modern Retro... which looks nothing like classic.

"Degradation" and "fantasy" are so vague, but to see cat ears and fairies specifically mentioned let's me know they intend to be extremely broad with how they interpret it. This is "degenerate art" levels of censorship. We need ppl to start calling in the numbers we had a month ago about this

Two key games I can think of in recent memory that I really enjoyed the premise of but had to return because of these issues are Lunacid ( no pause function ) and Dread Delusion ( no quick save). Both of these games looked fun, but those features are make-or-break!

Open plea to developers: Please for the love of everything, put standard quick save and pause functions in your SINGLE PLAYER GAME! There are dozens of retro-style games out there made by small studios I want to play and support but can't because these critical functions are missing! 😢

It’s sad that the discussion around pornography is always framed as “it’s potentially harmful.” It’s also potentially healthy? What did you learn about yourself, your body, your gender, your preferences, your boundaries and your self expression through the smut you consume?

Hi Itch, author of the original article here. Thanks for ignoring my repeated requests to comment, and then coming out of the woodwork days later to claim that my article - which verified each game's indexing status independently - is 'full of misinformation.' You're full of it. (thread)

My statement with regard to itch's new "Adult Content" standard as seen at: itch.io/docs/creators/faq#is-adult-content-allowed, as an artist with work hosted on that site. Go to yellat.money (pictured) for resources on fighting payment processor censorship!

itch.io just quietly put up their new "Adult Content" standards:

itch.io/docs/creators/faq#is-adult-content-allowed

Read the whole page. The endgame of puritans using payment procs to censor content is to ban everything but the most anodyne art from sale, SFW or not. To erase the line between fantasy and reality, to then silence real voices.

No victim of trauma allowed to make art talking about their experiences. No one allowed to make art to put a spotlight on systemic issues with society. No one allowed to bring powerful people to task for their evil deeds. No one allowed to feature even the mere *discussion* of sensitive topics in their work.

What puritan activists *say* they want is to ban "child abuse"; what they *do* is ban anyone from *talking about it*.

There are famous books regularly assigned to students in literature classes that would fall under this ban. *The Bible* would be banned from sale for featuring, among other things, sexual violence and sex trafficking. Hell, there are *children's picture books* that would be banned from sale because everything "animal-related" has been lumped in with "bestiality".

Puritan activists don't want sensitive topics in art, because that would allow people to call them out for the acts of *real* evil they have committed. That's why they wield the global power of American payment procs to dictate what legal products can or can't be sold: because anything else would squash their efforts before they can start.

And it's why we must put a check on that power: it is absurd for a single-digit number of companies in *one nation* to be able to decide what *the world* can buy.

Since the last post I wrote on this subject, there is now a page you can visit with details and resources on how you can get involved in protecting queer creators and sex workers from further abuse by payment processors forcing puritan policies on platforms that threaten freedom of expression:

yellat.money

Follow the guidance on that site, call the payment processors, and do everything else you can do as the page suggests to make your voice heard.

Because as this new "Adult Content" standard shows, it won't stop at queer creators and sex workers. This puritan censorship initiative will affect *everyone*.

We will make it through. We've done so many times before. But it won't happen unless we *fight*. Stay strong.

Screenshot of the website yellat.money, titled: "Protect Queer Creators and Sex Workers! Tell Payment Processors to STOP!". It begins: "Get involved! Here are emails, phone numbers, petitions to use and tell payment processing companies that their policies threaten the livelihoods and safe spaces of queer creators and sex workers."

It continues: "IMPORTANT: Wherever you vocalize your frustrations and concerns, be polite and chill when discussing in customer service lines or email inquiries. Do not harass or threaten individuals and workers. Please.

If you're a Sex Worker, please avoid directly contacting the companies in question, as exposing details about your shop / services could result in them being deactivated by payment processors in question, especially PayPal and Stripe. Stay safe!

When contacting Mastercard, do not let them direct you to their Concierge service."

The screenshot ends on part of the site's list of payment processor phone numbers to call, including headquarters and regional phone numbers for Stripe and Mastercard.
