Hello !! I don't really know how to use Tumblr sorry but I see your pokemon stuff on twitter a lot... Your artstyle is soo so lovely 🥹 I admire your artwork so much and I have tried looking for swoobat on your profile a few times but it doesn't seem that you've drawn them before so I would like to request one... Could you please draw a swoobat if it's not too much of a bother? Thank you so much if you do!!! it would really mean the world to me they are my absolute favorite pokemon <33
would you believe me if i said this is the pokemon ive gotten by far the most requests for
So the new itch.io guidelines are out and they are both predictably bad and also quite unpredictably bad. There's so much to go over here but here are some of the highlights:
First we have the broadly worded content restrictions. So much of this is just strictly bad for several reasons (for example, you cannot have a NSFW game that doesn't even fetishize rape but has rape be an important thematic element under these new rules) but my personal favorite is that these are so broad that huge swaths of content are just banned from itch.io. You like VNs of monster girls having sex? Sorry, but your favorite spider girl VN is animal-related, we cannot prove that you don't want to fuck spiders so its gone.
(a real problem anyone thinks about??????)
Game where you can transformed by magical artifacts and sometimes fucked? Sorry, that's non-consensual content. Banned. You cannot be transformed into a maid against your will. You also cannot have your protagonist call an older woman "mommy" because likeeeee that's incestual right?
"Minor-presenting" what the fuck does this mean. Genuinely. If a grown woman wears a fetish uniform is that minor presenting??? What the fuck are you talking about.
Also by the way if they feel your content is "too bad" for their platform, which includes a list of conditions incredibly broad to contain things like "a woman who likes being gagged during sex", they will just steal your revenue. No no no not just the revenue from the work in question. All of it. This makes any NSFW work a ticking timebomb, especially since itch.io doesn't have the fucking staff to deal with all of this! There's no second chances. You are not protected against fraudulent report or our dumb as fuck employees.
itch.io right now is just not a safe platform for NSFW content, and honestly, it really should be said, a fair swath of SFW content too. Don't use it, find alternative ways to survive in the market right now.
It's not going to be easy, but it's necessary. Here's a link to an article going over some solutions. I cannot personally vouch for any of these in particular but you need to do what you gotta.
Also, harass VISA and Mastercard. Phone calls over emails. Ruin their workflow. Do it for weeks, don't give up.
I know this is a long and very serious post but if you follow me please reblog this. I can't force you or anything but like holy shit I cannot see what is happening and just smile and kick my feet.
Image description: a picture of a person holding a KN95 mask. There is writing over the picture that says, "THERE'S NO EASIER WAY TO PROTECT YOUR HEALTH. Masks are compact, portable and cost a lot less than illness." There is a banner at the top of the image that says, "whn.global". End I.D.
While national rhetoric leans on fear and force, mayors in cities like Chicago, Baltimore, and Birmingham are reducing homicides through dat
FINALLY got around to dumping Spotify after their CEO continued to prove he's a fresh turd. (As if being a billionaire, not paying musicians, shoving AI garbage at us, and having an atrocious carbon footprint wasn't bad enough, he's now the chair of a AI-based weapons manufacturing company.)
I used TuneMyMusic ($24 annual fee you can cancel immediately, effectively paying only once) to transfer almost every single song from our Spotify account to Tidal. Tidal already has much better sound quality and they pay their artists much better. It migrated over 99% of our music, too, so there wasn't a huge loss.
Tens of thousands of notes on a post claiming a bill introduced by the Republicans will make credit card companies support NSFW content, and only a handful going "hey maybe don't support this".
Let's look into how the bill is being reported elsewhere - in fact, from the Senator who introduced the Senate version of the Fair Access to Banking Act
"In recent years, prominent American banks have engaged in a discriminatory practice, referred to as debanking. Banks and financial institutions use their economic standing to categorically exclude law-abiding, legal industries by refusing to lend or provide services to them."
Hmm. What industries could he mean?
"This includes industries such as firearms, ammunition, crypto, federal prison contractors, as well as energy producers."
Wow. Who could've guessed that's what he meant
“When progressives failed at banning these entire industries, what they did instead is they turned to weaponizing banks as sort of a backdoor to carry out their activist goals..."
So it is, in fact, a bill around trying to stop left-wing activists from, say, going after oil and gas companies or private prisons or the arms industry
But - surely it would include NSFW bans too, right? It would overturn them, right? If you read the text of the bill, which is deliberately vague as you'd expect, it explicitly allows banks to deny payment based on "quantitative, impartial risk-based standards" - it only bans it for "political" or "reputational risk" considerations. And claims that the adult media industry is "high risk" is why payment processors drop it
But let's see who supports it!
"The Fair Access to Banking Act is endorsed by several organizations, including the National Shooting Sports Foundation, National Rifle Association, North Dakota Petroleum Council, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, The Digital Chamber, Blockchain Association, Independent Petroleum Association of America, Online Lenders Alliance, Day 1 Alliance, GEO Group, Lignite Energy Council, National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors, National Mining Association, CoreCivic, and the National ATM Council."
Private prison companies, fossil fuel companies, blockchain companies, and the NRA. But surely...? SURELY a bill we're explicitly told again and again is about preventing left-wing activism against private industry, that's co-sponsored by fucking Lindsey Graham, and that certainly seems to include a carve-out specifically to let payment processors continue to deny adult content, but not deny conservative political causes...would secretly be pro-NSFW content?
This bill is all over the internet now, with viral pleas to GET IT PASSED and shutdowns of any criticism of a bill whose real intent is extremely overt. All of this is a simple search away and straight from the horse's mouth, and nobody wants to do even that modicum of research because they would prefer to take someone's word for it that a magic panacea is just a few phone calls away. If you make phone calls asking for this to pass, you're being played: tricked into supporting a bill crafted by the people leading the moral panic that harassed Itch into oblivion that would do nothing to help that, but that would ban any activism against payments for destructive fossil fuel extraction or gun lobbying. The guy who made it just told everyone that's what it's for! Does no one care to look? To read the bill? You can be the one to read it and say it's bad (being the only person to actually read an odious bill is called "Russ Feingold-ing")
Looking up the talk about this bill one theme I saw a lot was people dismissing anyone pointing out a Republican introduced it by saying "I don't care who introduced it! AS LONG AS SOMEBODY DOES SOMETHING!!!!" But you know what? If you saw that a Republican introduced the bill, and your reaction was to go "wow, so a Republican introduced a bill to protect adult content?" without even a pang of skepticism...I have no words tbh
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It mu

for scrolling to the bottom and 'contacting' there, if email is more your thing.
Call script because phone calls are harder to ignore than emails:
"Hi, I'm calling to tell you that the reports you received of sexually abusive content on Steam and itch.io are fraudulent and were made by religious extremist groups.
As a [insert company] customer I'm expressing my discontent and requesting that you rescind your demands to these platforms."
i think it's important to acknowledge that the reason why mastercard/visa has such a stranglehold on american society is because cash is not the main form of payment in the usa. the predominance of card has effectively privatized currency
in japan, one of the reasons why dlsite and other similar websites are able to just remove visa as a payment option instead of changing any of their merchandise (aside from the fact that visa doesn't have a monopoly here) is because cash payments for online transactions remain an option. even if you don't have a jcb credit card or paypay or whatever, you can still pay for your online purchases using cash by taking your barcode to a convenience store, and you can do this for essentially every online vendor, meaning credit card companies can't just impose their moral judgments on your purchases with much repercussion
How does that barcode system work? I've never heard of something like that.
1. you add whatever porn games or movies or books you want to your cart and go to checkout
2. you select cash payment at conbini as your payment method
3. youre emailed a barcode that you take to the conbini
4. you show it to the cashier, they scan it, and you pay what you owe. note that the cashier does not see what youre buying
and the transaction is complete
Holy shit that's incredible

alright i am sick of yt to mp4 sites being shady and full of viruses and finding websites that seem to be working and then don't work (looking at you y232 (no hate, just frustrated))
so HERE'S HOW YOU DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE VIDEOS WITH VLC!! VLC FREAKIN RULES!!
get your youtube link
open vlc, go to media > open network stream
paste your url in the box and PRESS PLAY!
wait for the video to open then go to tools > codec information
copy the entire file location (click the box, then ctrl-a to select all, then ctrl-c to copy)
paste into your browser of choice (i use firefox)
right click video and press "save video as", choose your file format if you want

I FORGOT SOMETHING SHOOT I'M REALLY SORRY
YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR YOUTUBE.LUAC FILE FOR THIS TO WORK!!!
Go to here https://github.com/videolan/vlc/blob/master/share/lua/playlist/youtube.lua
Navigate to C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\playlist (or whatever equivalent there is on Mac; if you have a Mac just fish around in the program files you're bound to find it somewhere)
Open youtube.luac with a text editor like Notepad
Delete whatever's in there and replace it with ALL of the stuff with the github file.
Save the file, restart VLC, and then it should work.
PLEASE REBLOG THIS ADDITION FOR THE LOVE OF CRUMBCAKE THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY IMPORTANT
(and re: other additions in the tags, I hear you and that’s totally fair you want quality! but if you really don’t care and/or those websites are blocked, this is a workaround you can use)
As a side note this is all perfectly legal. When sued by google, the French courts (because VLCs parent organization is French) concluded that because Youtube was distributing their videos for free, people had every right to download them for free, and no violation of intellectual property was being committed.
Orientalism is the worst its been since the 1800's. Palestinians are not your OCs, your props, your narrative devices, we're not your saviours, we're not your models, we're not your objects.
Go fucking read Edward Said's Orientalism. We already hashed this shit out!!! And by we I literally mean Palestinian scholars specifically!!!!

✨hi all!✨ I hear there's a lot of energy for phone calls at the moment and I want to encourage you to keep that energy up and also call your reps to ask for a ceasefire in gaza! ❤️
Jewish Voice for Peace has a site which automatically connects you to the right people and provides a script you can use to call your members of congress if you're in the US.
Islamic Relief in the UK also has a page where you can write to your MPs to call for a ceasefire.
if anyone else has info about how to contact govt representatives in other countries please add it here as well!
This is one of my favourite resources with links for contacting your reps for Canada, USA, UK, and Australia
US Campaign for Palestinian Rights also has resources on calling your local reps (with script) for USA residents
Download the app 5 Calls which will give you scripts and put you in direct contact with your reps (I believe USA residents only)
Here are two links (1, 2) for Aotearoa New Zealand residents to contact their MP
Reminder for United States residents who are calling: include telling them that as a voter you will not be supporting them in upcoming elections unless they take action against helping the US stop funding Israel
While calling your local reps and demanding a ceasefire is still an important effort while so many of these countries are continuing to fund and support Israel in their genocide against Palestine, it is not the most effective way to help Palestine and support those in Gaza right now.
