so it's been over a month since I had a disagreement with the DMsguild over how I believe their review policy for offensive art unfairly tags queer art as more explicit than heteronormative art

we were promised better content guidelines, but these have still not appeared

as a result nothing has changed that I can see from before I made my complaint, other than I don't feel entirely safe publishing there anymore

if changes were made, they were very quiet, and no-one seems to know either way

I did end up taking "Curse of Hearts" elsewhere, thanks to @ProudGeekStore who agreed to help me

I do feel that the Guild have basically filibustered this problem away by relying on the fact that small creators like myself can't wait forever to recover our costs

large organisations simply have the resources to wear you out, if they choose to

maybe those new guidelines will eventually appear and maybe they will actually be enforced, so queer content can stop being flagged as obscene where functionally identical hetero content is not

It is -well known- that I am one of the best creators on that hellsite by a country mile, but apparently they would rather drive me away than make their platform a safe space for me, or that's how it's starting to feel

companies love to bang on about pride until the queers actually want some policy change at which point you are a troublemaker and a bully and why won't you Leave The Poor Company Alone You Monster
