Once more, for the people who missed my previous rants on the topic: It's okay to adopt the stance that age verification is a bad idea.

You don't need to weaken your position by saying it might be okay if they eventually used Zero-Knowledge Proofs or pseudonymous systems.

First, such schemes aren't suitable for this domain even at a theoretical level. If you think they might then you don't understand the problem.

Second, even if ZKP was an applicable solution, it would still prevent undocumented people from accessing the internet like those that various governments choose to recognize as human.

Third, one goal of a functioning society ought to be producing responsible adults, and treating them as complete children until they suddenly turn 18 is not a reasonable way to accomplish that.

Government-mandated age verification for the internet is bad public policy, and it's 100% okay to say as much.

I keep trying to explain to my friends in the US that there are places where strangers are generally kind to each other, and I feel like the first fish to leave the ocean coming back to tell its friends about the stars.

I'm at a point in my life where I don't really question the urges to draw gender nonconforming anthropomorphic foxes wearing traditional polish clothing anymore

Digital illustration of an anthropomorphic gender nonconforming fox wearing a traditional polish dress. The fox wears high boots and a linen shirt underneath the dress. They have a long thin braid laid over their shoulder, tied with a red ribbon. The dress features colourful striped and floral patterns.

I'll give the revived Commodore brand one thing, at least they're true to the original company by making really questionable business decisions :)

please stop getting your opinions from youtubers

Gay men kissing isn’t some kind of graphic pornography that children shouldn’t be shown or something. Fuck that shit. I hate how mainstream social media has backslid into homophobia and everybody thinks it’s normal for some fucking reason

Coloured doodle of the anthro snivy sitting on a stool at an old computer, typing into a text document. The typing is just all variations of Snivy saying her name, like "sni sni", "ssss" "sni-vyyy" since that's how Pokemon typically 'speak'. She is blushing, and meta text pointing to the monitor says "Writing steamy romance"
