#with a ToS change

[getvalentined]

Seeing people talking about Inkb|ot on my dash again and I want to remind everyone that they changed their ToS early this month to "clarify" that they consider consensual nonconsent to be rape; any illustration of such will be removed from the site. They literally use the phrase "consensual nonconsent," thereby making it explicitly clear that they know this is a consensual act, but they have decided that it's still actually rape and therefore cannot be allowed on their platform.

Regardless of anyone's feelings on the kink in question, they literally declare an act of consensual sex to be "glorification of sexual violence" in their content guidelines. While claiming to be kink-positive and adult-friendly on social media.

The content guidelines for Inkb|ot have been moving by inches over the last year or so, cutting out more and more adult content, in spite of the platform still being marketed as an adult-friendly art platform.

There's actually more to it than this, even setting aside the anti-kink bias at play here: on Inkb|ot, you cannot refer to the Holocaust or similar events in illustrated work, "even in a historical context," because the content guidelines declare that any reference to a hateful act counts as endorsement of the group responsible.

This is not an intent to leverage hate at any of the devs on the platform—it's their platform and they can do what they want. But they are literally selling their project as an adult-friendly art platform, a place where adult creatives can express themselves freely, and that is 1000% not the case. I don't care about their delicate sensibilities, I care that they're openly lying about what their platform is and who it's for. (And I'm saying this as someone who backed the Kickstarter and supported them on Patreon for quite a while.)

I've seen people referring to it as "the upcoming AO3 of art" and that could not be further from the truth. It is not an adult-friendly platform. It is not a kink-positive platform. It is a platform built to guidelines set almost entirely by the personal prejudices and preferences of the dev team, intentionally excluding a huge portion of the human experience while touting itself as some paradise for adult creatives.

My suggestion? Don't fucking bother.

Starship Captain shocked to realize that the universe they've stumbled into resembles their own in every conceivable way, except... There is no policy which prevents fraternization between a captain and their first officer. [dramatic sting] [opening credits roll]

Like I know this is just supposed to be some friendly ribbing about the differences in build between Kelley and Urban but its way more fun to interpret it as TOS Kirk wanting to fuck AOS McCoy.
