Guys, this is getting ridiculous. Now artists are obligated to visually confirm consent in ALL NSFW works. Even when we're portraying f*cking adult FICTIONAL characters, now artists are supposed to somehow include in every illustration, video or novel, a clear confirmation of consent given by the subject.

All CNC (Consensual non-consent) kinks, such as BDSM and, consequently, body inflation fetishes are prohibited. Bratty chic chews some strange gum and starts inflating by accident? Banned! That is a sexually motivated context created without the consent of the character. These rules are so vague it's basically up to them to arbitrarily decide what's ok and what's not.

If things keep going like this, there will come a time when we can no longer create anything without stupid payment processors sticking their noses where they don't belong. I thought we could escape the current year politics and trends as indie creators. Turns out I was wrong. If companies have this much control over art, well... today it's NSFW, but who knows what they're gonna consider "out of the line" tomorrow.

Honestly, I'm just so sick and tired of stupid people that can't separate fiction from reality. What are these restrictions for? How is this helping anyone in real life? It's not. It's only making artists' lives harder than they were before and it's also harming the audiences that want to consume that kind of content.
