It’s not just happening recently with Steam and Itch.io, it’s been happening for a while.

Some smutty art creators on Patreon have been chased off that platform because of payment processors telling patreon they’d pull the plug if Patreon kept that type of art on the platform. Those same artists have then reported being unable to set up, for instance, Stripe for their paywalls.

Porn stars have complained about being unable to set up accounts with payment processors.

Same with ad companies that are deathly afraid of being seen next to NSFW images, so for instance Imgur has cracked down on them.

Puritans are going to destroy the world.

Puritanical US based payment processors need to stop getting their panties twisted.

Regardless of the reason why these people are incarcerated, they’re being treated as if they’re not human.

And the people in Abu Ghraib never got due process either.

Abu Ghraid 2.0…

Unlike humans, GenAI has no imagination.

No it’s not. If you have paid for data to self train AI, you have paid artists already. Why use the AI slop, when you can use the actual work you purchased?

If you have the money for that, why not just hire those allowed authors and artists to make the art for you?

Let’s not. Generative AI is bad for environment, it’s also using stolen assets.
