Hey everyone!
Preparation for Susan Storm's VA Cut is almost finished. There are a few more days of animating needed before I render that and send it to my voice actress. There have been a few problems recently during the animation process, but nothing major to worry about. Let's just say tentacles are very sensitive.
I've been holding off talking about this for a while, but the elephant in the room is starting to bump into walls. Age Verification laws across the globe are slowly but surely getting pushed. I usually don't talk about politics, but since this one affects NSFW artists greatly, there's no way to avoid talking about it. In a couple of days, Discord will require age verification to access my private Discord server. Obviously I expect my supporters and fans to be 18 years old or over, however this age verification process is happening for all servers with NSFW content automatically. Discord is pushing this requirement on all media and channels labeled NSFW.
Whether you agree or disagree about these laws being beneficial for minors is another conversation all together. The fact is that these laws are only evolving to be more strict and punishing to those who produce adult content. Between these laws and AI content getting more and more threatening, it's looking like a rough storm is darkening the future for NSFW artists.
