A variation on the #webcomic page I've drawn before, focused especially on #twitch for recently finally allowing "nonsexual nude art" only to reverse the decision 24 hours later "because their AI #censorship bots can't tell the difference between photography and realistic paintings". (and somehow the exact same pose and composition stops being porn the second it's slightly less than photorealistic, even if it's just painted by a really, really good artist). And as we all know, Twitch rules being designed by #patriarchy - worshipping tech bros like all mainstream #socialMedia are, "nudity" includes "female looking nipples" but not "male looking nipples" 🙃
Still waiting for the day that enough people call out this insanely blatant #sexism and #misogyny enough to force these platforms to think they'll make more money off #toplessEquality than their current #doubleStandards (see how they've been shilling under the guise of supporting #lgbt / #lgbtq / #queer equality for the last decade, especially during Pride month... Except in red states, of course). It's so blatantly sexist, yet so few people even notice it? How do I wake more people up??
Just a lil reminder that my feminism-and-other-progressive-activism video series Topless Topics is "constantly banned from every platform you've heard of and some you haven't,"
so if you'd like to help me try to convince new people (and someday far in the future, the platforms themselves) that enforcing different levels of censorship based on "what gender you look like" is absurd and blatantly sexist,
please consider widely sharing, reblogging, and posting your own reply content (or just shouting out my channel) to my own posts, to help me get out of the shadowban-void I'm constantly fighting against (when my content isn't banned outright, as happens almost daily)
I have to change social media accounts fairly often as they get banned (always and only for the heinous unforgiveable sin of "female nipples") but here they are as of me writing this post:

In the future I'm hoping to set up my own mastodon instance focused on progressive activists and creators, and their supporters, called the "Outcast Creator Collective." You can read up more about that here: https://www.toplesstopics.org/outcast/
#youtube posted this ominous warning at the top of my studio: "Under our existing external links policy, violative URLs posted within the video itself or in the video's metadata (titles, descriptions, and tags) may result in the video being removed."
If you click "learn more," it takes you to their "external links policy," which is laughably vague, just like their in-general #communityGuidelines#violation page. You can read it yourself here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9054257?hl Note how they repeatedly say "this is not an exhaustive list," and there's no mention of nudity, only "pornography"--meaning it's up to that particular algorithm's programming bias what counts as "prawn" or not (to say nothing of the insanely blatant #misogynist and #sexist viewpoint within the #patriarchy that "female-looking nipples are 'nudity' but male nipples aren't" 🙃)
The absolutely wildest thing is, if youtube would just give me half the effin leeway that they do these many other accounts that post FULL BODY, FULLY UNCENSORED nudity, I wouldn't need to direct people anywhere else to see the "patriarchy-unapproved" version of my videos. Honestly, this is pretty crazy...I learned long ago not to post any kind of clickable link anywhere in a youtube description or comment (after getting #strikes for linking to my own website, and a twitter post of mine, and a tumblr post, and a link to a discord server intended to serve as a resource guide and community for intersex people...) but getting these threats that even just having the url to my site on my page can get a video banned.
If you're a #contentCreator or #influencer who only posts your content to Youtube, I highly encourage you to start packing now, and get your feet into some less-faschy alternative platforms--#Peertube is a great place to start (you can comment if you want me to try to direct you towards more specific resources). Because if you "keep all your eggs in one basket," you're going to end up with egg all over your face (and none left to survive off of) once capitalism kicks that basket out of your hands.
@GottaLaff@emptywheel so I was listening to the #SistersInLaw podcast today and they are telling people to contact them on #Twitter or #Threads. I think this is Corp America saying "We think Threads is #brandsafe and our audience is there."
What this tells me is that we need to put pressure of #Meta to enforce their #ContentModeration & #CommunityGuidelines.
Start by showing the RW accounts that are violating the #TOS & demand they be removed.
