How do I explain to people that the ao3 discourse becoming mainstream may lead to us being recognized as an untapped market resource and the only holy bastion that's keeping this commensalism is AO3 accepting only donations and not placing monetary value on it

Hayao Miyazaki on modern anime, via Roland Kelts the author of 'Japanamerica'
"Hayao Miyazaki said to me at one point: 'The problem with young anime artists today is that the only thing they study is anime. When we were young, we studied French literature, we studied impressionism, we read Dostoevsky. We swallowed everything. And then we went and created original anime. But if you grow up and all you watch is anime, you're just regurgitating spinning wheels.'"
He also spoke about his work on the upcoming documentary 'Tezuka! God of Manga'

I recently learned that bisexuals were once banned from the London Lesbian and Gay Centre because some lesbians felt that bisexual men would harass them. This flagrant act of bigotry, of course, has absolutely no parallels to anything going on within the queer community today.

This isn’t an unusual response to someone seeing sexual violence loom over a text but nonetheless it is a frustrating one. Why is it that SA is often seen as too far, but murder and cannibalism are not? Are we desensitized to violence of that nature and not to this? How? Why?

In the west, sexual violence is differentiated from other bodily crimes. It’s seen as a daily looming potentiality, whereas murder/genocide/cannibalism are all ‘freak’ crimes, and occur ‘outside’ reality. It makes the former taboo, while the latter are free game

anti-censorship is hard to sell to a society so hell-bent on seeing everything as propaganda

🚨 AO3 USERS, PLEASE READ AND SHARE.
Since the unexpected 4-week maintenance, multiple users have reported suspicious login attempts and even having their personal accounts stolen.
CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD NOW. Especially if you reuse it on other sites.
Please share this warning 🔐
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No verified reports confirm multiple AO3 accounts stolen after the incident. OTW states it does not currently believe the user database was stolen but cannot rule it out and recommends changing reused passwords on other sites as precaution.

I'm surprised there's no petition demanding the pornographic amendments to the Crime and Policing Act be removed, it's an embarrassment to the UK. Rapists roam free and the prisons are full but god forbid someone post a video of them engaging in consensual breath play/roleplay 1/

Our country is genuinely run by incredibly boring, fun-hating, sexless, nightlife-destroying, culture-eroding, pencil pushers. I want MPs who've had orgies and have snorted lines of coke off a man's dick. Instead we have strictly-missionary-no-blowie legislation being tabled

Site down until further notice while we investigate a security incident. Expect a few days at least.
In short: someone uploaded a Javascript worm with an IP grabber that logged the IP address of anyone viewing an infected Flash post.
Whether or not you're filipino, this DOES concern you. It will effect EVERYONE. Especially if you care about advocating against ai & imperialism. If they can get away with this in the Philippines, they will get away with this abuse in other lands. This will be the precedent

「好きなイラストレーターの反戦と政治批判が辛い」と言ってる人
『好きなイラストレーター』が日本人で良かったね、と言う感想…ですかね…。
『好きなイラストレーター』がガザ地区の人、ウクライナ人、ロシア人だった場合はとっくの昔に生きていない可能性あるので…。

Cyberattack on France’s national blood service (EFS) via its refrigeration contractor Coolworld. Hackers reset freezers keeping blood donor samples at -30°C to a target of 110°C. The thing that stopped it from destructive impact was an on-call technician who noticed the temperatures going up. Frozen plasma intended for transfusion was stored there too. Fortunately nothing was destroyed. This was a cyberattack on a sensitive layer of healthcare. From frozen peas to boiling plasma in three weeks...?
