btw just a friendly reminder, reporting doesn't work on iceshrimp.net instances just yet (so, the very one i'm posting this from); this goes both ways!
if you're on my instance and you see someone breaking the rules (either on this instance or other instances), you can PM me or email me, be sure to include the link to the offending posts!
same goes for anyone on other instances, if you see someone on my instance causing problems, gimme the link and PM/email me!
i'm hoping iceshrimp.net gets this functionality real soon, i think it'll be available in the first feature update they release this year, here's hoping!
lewd art hot takeclothing that hides the chest or bottom area makes art significantly less hot
if it's on the arms or legs it's fine, but panties and bras... nahhhh keep that off!!! even if i can't see The Good Bits, the idea of it being there makes the art less hot tbh
draw! more! nudity! it saves you the time of drawing clothes, think about it fellow artists...
lewd cub art, featuring 🐁anatomy is a lil bit iffy on this but i can't be bothered to spend more time fucking around with this lol
enjoy this thing i made specifically because of how ky's been pampering me lately, i just wanna give something back for him ;w; (i guess it's fitting that today's valentine's day huh)
they cite multiple rationales for why they nuked it in the first place, outside of just cleaning up their public image.
fear is a big factor that causes many artists of our ilk to just nuke everything and leave the internet, and it sucks so bad every time it happens. fear is everything, it's the thing that can stop many people dead in their tracks when it comes to this stuff.
and i can't blame a single person for that, the world is a scary place. i needn't say why i of all people am also very scared. despite that i try to remain resolute, especially when i'm running a community like this, of like-minded queer individuals.
i've had thoughts in the past about nuking it all and just starting fresh, with a new name and everything; but i ultimately came to realize it'd do way more harm. people love my art, people have been inspired by it; to take it away from them would be to deprive them of the joy i gave them. and, inevitably, """internet slueths""" will put two and two together and figure out my old identity, and i'd end up even worse off, due to people thinking i "betrayed" them.
