＞性的表現は検閲の一般的な入り口 この主張には、いまいちピンと来ない人もいるかもしれません。 しかし過去を振り返れば、その意味は比較的はっきり見えてきます。 実際に「性的だ」と批判され、規制を求められた作品には ・ドラゴンボール → 初期の悟空とブルマ、亀仙人とのやり取りなどのギャグ表現 ・セーラームーン → コスチュームや年齢設定 ・うる星やつら → コスチュームや全体的なコメディ表現 ・らんま1/2 → 性別が変わる設定と変身シーン ・ドラえもん → しずかちゃんの入浴シーン ・クレヨンしんちゃん → 初期のギャグシーン全般 このように、今では国民的作品とされているものばかりですが、「性的」「性搾取」「卑猥」「下品」「有害」「悪影響」といった理由で批判され、規制の声が上がっていました。 もしそれらが、規制派の声に従って実際に排除されていたとすれば、日本の漫画やアニメの発展は大きく損なわれていたはずですし、現在のように世界で評価される状況も生まれていなかった可能性があります。 ここで重要なのは「性的」という言葉の扱われ方です。 この言葉は曖昧で主観的でありながら、規制の正当化に非常に使われやすい性質を持っています。 一見軽く聞こえる言葉でも、表現規制は法律や制度によって強制される、破れば罰則を伴う重い制約です。 「エロだからダメ」といったカジュアルな理由で納得してしまう前に、その言葉が持つ意味や影響を冷静に捉える必要があります。 また、規制を求める側の主張には「作り手側」の視点がほとんど考慮されていない点も問題です。 受け手が「この作品は性的だから見たくない」と感じるのは自由です。 一方で作品は、作り手の「こういうものを作りたい」という内的な欲求から生まれています。 それにもかかわらず、その意志を無視して 「より健全で政治的に正しい作品を作れ」 と外部から作り手へ要求するようになれば、表現は画一化してしまいますし、作り手の内発的な欲求そのものが削がれ、創作をやめてしまう人も出てくるでしょう。 その結果、日本の強みでもある 「誰もが自由に作りたい作品を作ることができる」 という、世界でも稀な創作の土壌そのものが損なわれかねません。 その帰結は、中国や北朝鮮のメディアを見れば理解できるはずです。 表現規制の問題は、単にエロや一部の作品が制限されるかどうかではなく、創作そのものの自由と、作り手を生む土台に直接影響する点にあります。

@senb0n22a @superange128 @Kougeru @tropeguy 1. Twitter doesn't have to have the high standards of a court of law. It's a court of public opinion, and 2. There's a right way and a wrong way to answer this easy question. That was the wrong way, and he hasn't even tried to answer the right way (because he can't without lying)

@ZwoZwanzig @superange128 @Kougeru @tropeguy innocent until proven guilty. where's the proof it's AI? Either way terrible site cuz they're blocking literally a majority of the top 100 vns from what I read.

Recently @tropeguy made Kaguya, aka the AniiList of Visual Novels. Since then he's made a lots of changes like VNDB List Import, Profile VN Favs, Friend Requests, Home Feed, Custom Lists, and recently removed gameplay hybrids. My Profile is Here: @superange128" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">kaguya.io/@superange128

@superange128 @Kougeru @tropeguy The fact you went straight to asking "pRoOf?" instead of immediately denying it and saying it was coded by humans speaks volumes

@Kougeru @tropeguy Where's your proof it's AI?

@superange128 @tropeguy >censorship so it's VNDB but worse since you arbitrarily exclude things you don't like. no thanks.

Like I said in a previous post on the topic of ID/Age Verification - I started digging into the topic quite a bit, especially after that Meta lobbying exposed news dropped. What I have (and more of others) found is something that is so stupid, but also makes a whole lot of sense...in fact imo its the perfect piece of the puzzle. I will lay out my digging through a series of events: 1. Advertisers (ie Corporations with products or services to sell), contract with big Social media platforms, paying boatloads of money for adspace. The logic is that even if 10% of the tens of millions of users buy into their ads, its worth the investment. 2. The onset of botting, has led to ads being viewers by more bots than they do humans. No matter how many bots watch your ads, they never need your products or services. So they will never give advertisers' money and business. 3. This essentially means that, Advertisers are proverbially throwing money into the drain. Paying the price with practically no ROI. Many reports indicate that this botting problem resulted in multi-billion dollar wastage on ad spending. 4. Advertisers have started grilling social media companies, especially Meta which was one of the biggest sources of the issue. This resulted in many advertisers basically threatening to pull ad money until the botting situation is controlled. 5. The botting situation became even WORSE around 2023-2025 with the Ai-Bros and Ai Companies hard pushing Ai development. The past anti-bot systems and measures lose effectiveness as Ai makes bots more sophisticated. 6. Then late 2025/2026, you can see the SNAP. The nuclear solution - Age/ID verification being pushed or implemented across multiple countries at around the same timing (within months). 7. Then now all the news about Socmed and big tech corps lobbying politicians and governments for mass ID/Age Verification on an OS/Appstore level. 8. Why? Since you pick your poison to "age verify"...a selfie, submit your ID, or Ping your credit card. Sure your age will be "verified", but it also comes with the useful byproduct of confirming you are HUMAN. So as a takeaway, what does this mean? Well to me at least, this quite neatly explains why BOTH Governments and large Corporations have collaborated and colluded to push for ID Verification at an alarming pace Globally. In the end, it really was about money. It also means quite simply in my opinion - these Corporations and Governments, NEVER really cared about "the children". "Think of the Children" imo, has always been, and will continue to be the convenient excuse for these corporations and politicians to implement this privacy-invasive system. Because if only PROVEN humans can use social media, or other similar sites/services - Advertisers will be mollified and continue to throw money at these Big Tech corporations for continued ad space. This ALSO means - that the so-called parents and people like the Riceman who run defence of ID Verification, are either very stupid, or complicit in this. Either way, the only winners are the Advertisers, the Big Tech Corpos, and the Politicians. We all however, lose.

@Kase_2230117 kase선생님의 작품을 정말 좋아해요. 일리야 그림은 내가 잠에서 깨어났을 때 가장 먼저 보는 그림이고, 잠자리에 들기 전 마지막으로 보는 그림이에요. 선생님이 행복하시고 앞으로도 계속해서 예술을 세상과 나누시길 바랍니다. (내 서투른 한국어로 미안해요)

@Chojiki @SydusArts2 More Saba fans found out there was a poll. They, unsurprisingly, voted for Saba. That isn't "fuckery"

@SydusArts2 Around 24,500 votes, Saba gains 9x as many voters as Jelly: 380 to 40. Around 26,250 votes, Saba gains almost 3x as many votes: 920 to 340. The first one ties them up (nicely) and the second one puts her out of striking range. A swing of almost 1,000 votes in mere hours.

Elimination Round 7 This time its a Battle of the Cute and Funny Vtubers! 😭😭😭

@Kato_Shuu @Fw_Parkr completely valid, its why ended up making a seperate account for it 🙇‍♂️

@ChaoticMeatball @Miwabelle1 he's a well known figure among certain vtuber fanbases. he gives all these gifts using a VPN to make his location argentina, which has (had) a very weak currency, making it very cheap to gift memberships. his joke is he wants the streamer to read his name and to make chat laugh

@Miwabelle1 I remember seeing someone do this on Saba's debut and I had a feeling they were charging back, especially with a horrible name like this. I hope YouTube sees this and doesn't continue to punish creators for d**kheads' attempts at screwing someone over.

Be careful guys there’s a new scam going around Here’s a rough translation of how it works : When someone sends a ¥50,000 Super Chat, YouTube takes about 30% (¥15,000) as fees and the streamer gets around ¥35,000. If the payment gets canceled through a chargeback, the viewer gets their full ¥50,000 back. YouTube keeps its ¥15,000 cut, and the streamer loses the ¥35,000 they received. That leaves the streamer with a ¥15,000 negative balance, which gets deducted from their next payouts. Super Chats are considered “voluntary payments,” so normally they can’t be refunded except in rare cases like fraudulent charges. I don’t know why people do this but please block suspicious accounts when they start gifting a ton!!!

@NoMoreBikeLanes @MizBiasTakes @FTA_DOT @kcstreetcar @UMKC there hasn't been a 56 bus route for at least since before the streetcar opened, and likely longer. you're the one who doesn't know what they're talking about

@MizBiasTakes @FTA_DOT @kcstreetcar @UMKC u hafta be a propagandist and/or a railfan simpleton to say the KC nostalgia trolley is cheaper than the #56 bus route. I bet you never even knew there was a 56 bus route.

Final testing is underway for the expanded @kcstreetcar. Last week, simulated full-service operations began along the new route from River Market to @UMKC. Over the next several weeks, 7-8 streetcars will run during regular service hours to prepare for the official opening in October. FTA supported this project with a $174 million grant during President Trump’s first term, helping deliver faster, more reliable service to Kansas City riders.

@MastercardNews I have had multiple Japanese sites I use say I am no longer welcome to purchase from them, citing that YOU (Mastercard) have or have threated to cease processing transactions if they sell me legal content. You are lying

If payment processors dictating what you can purchase makes you angry, call them. As much as you can. Clog the lines, they’re already folding thanks to a week of concerted efforts and we can use more people calling. Follow the script in the tips section

@Pirat_Nation this is a tremendous reach tbh and makes you look like a wokescold trying to find any little mistake to get triggered on

Ubisoft uses country code "JAP" to refer to Japan:

@DgardsGaming @Pirat_Nation Do you even know how mods work?

@Pirat_Nation I'm more wondering why he was working undocumented? if true, also proves Bethesda want cheap labour

The creator of a big Fallout: New Vegas mod called Nuevo Mexico is being deported to Mexico because he was reported to ICE by other Bethesda fans

@DrinkAriZona No it's not. Every store I go to it's now 1.49~1.99

AriZona Iced Tea is still 99 cents
