Electronics Technician, geek, happily married, and an aspiring author. Come check out my serial, “No Need For A Core?”
Normally I err on the side of ‘art’ being separated from actual pictures/recordings of abuse. It falls under the “I don’t like what you have to say, but I will defend your right to say it” idea.
Photorealistic images of CP? I think that crosses the line, and needs to be treated as if it was actual CP as it essentially enables real CP to proliferate.
facepalm
Well, we have a horror movie intro right in the article.
Mi first realized that the experiment had been successful when he saw the silkworm’s eyes turning red under the microscope.
Well, that’s all the more reason to not try to monetize through Amazon. But Patreons seem to only be about 0.5% of the people who Follow a story on Royal Road. Well, I’ll have to keep working on more incentives I guess.
I tried DuckDuckGo for quite a while, but I consistently failed to find things that I knew existed, so would switch back to Google anyway.
example: I am publishing a serial over on Royal Road, and one of the things an author there with any amount of traction does is search for links and possibly re-hosts of their materials. Links are fine, but re-hosts are obviously a no-go and you want to report sites that do that and/or take other measures. Google would find sites tracking and linking when I searched, but DuckDuckGo did not find any of them.
Heck, DDG didn’t even find most of the tech sites that my title happens to overlap phrases with. (“No Need For A Core?” manages to trip over conversations with server cores, which is hilarious for a high magic fantasy series). I just can’t trust that it finds enough stuff.
Been there, done that, and fuck no.
But I also have no problems with leaving my phone on Do Not Disturb and reading a book. I am happy to ignore the world. I don’t let connectedness rule me. I use it.
Usually. I also have ADHD, so sometimes I just need my stimulation
This site has the servers listed: https://lemmyverse.net/
and from one login, you can subscribe to communities hosted on different servers, but communications seem to be rather laggy when you do that.
I’m rather hoping third-party apps like Jerboa will be able to allow multiple logins at once and have the ability to merge the feeds into one presentation.
I’ve grabbed the same login name on multiple lemmy servers plus kbin, so my identity is really easy to keep track of at least.
The issue here is that it enables those who would make the actual CP to hide their work easier in the flood of generated content.
Animesque art is one thing, photorealistic is another. Neither actually harms an underaged person by existing, but photorealistic enables actual abusers to hide themselves easily. So IMO, photorealistic ‘art’ of this sort needs to be criminalized so that it can not be used as a mask for actual CP.
