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.
I wish I knew what to tell you. I am on Chrome with uBlock Origin, and I don’t see YouTube ads. I’m logged into both Chrome and Google/YouTube
Doing Okay. I’ve gotten through my hyperfocus on leveling a new-to-me class in Final Fantasy XIV, so I am able to pull my brain back to writing more. I want to get two more chapters up on my Patreon before my next public chapter is released on Thursday.
If it wasn’t usually running something and was idling, it would be more so. But generally speaking, I have something occupying it.
Bingo, you’ve described my experience exactly. My computer is almost never off.
shrug I play mostly single-player RPGs and similarly story-heavy games, so while the mechanics are different and the graphics much prettier, the structure is the same as it’s been for the past 30+ years: Follow the story to get anywhere, or just wander around in your current area if you want to grind.
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.
technically any MMO (or other RPG) that lets you build a female character, but I would say FFXIV as there are a lot of interesting female secondary protags.
Hmm, by that standard, Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous both qualify, though opinions on the NPC companions vary.
Nier: Automata
Immortals: Fenyx Rising
A couple of the Star Ocean games let you choose between a Male or Female protag.
Meh, my wife and I are 48 and are both playing the same JRPG phone game (Another Eden. It’s a Gatcha, but plays more like a traditional single-player JRPG). And she loves to watch me play FFXIV and other story-heavy games that she has trouble playing herself. And we are in a D&D game Saturday nights.
So I wouldn’t worry about it too much, you just gotta find the right woman.
FYI, just like Reddit, all posts start at +1 upvote, your own. you’d have to actually remove it manually.
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.
