>>10607>Also I'm American, but European nonnas can you just use a VPN to bypass region blocked content?It seems it's simply possible to go in the settings and change the country, but I haven't tried it yet because I'm worried it could cause me to lose my account somehow, like if twitter detects where I am and assume suspicious activities. Since apps don't really care about privacy settings anymore. I'm waiting a few days to see how long it takes to determine my age by their shitty AI, I already put my birth date in the settings and don't remember ever changing it but I don't know if this criteria will be taken into account. Basically it's wait and see for me. If nothing works I'll try using a VPN.
>but I don't know British lawIt's not just British law. The UK left the European union a few years ago but still tries to have similar laws concerning the internet and who has access to what data, usually regarding things like GDRP. I'm unable to see some websites and some tweets because of an EU law that's very similar to what's in the UK it seems. I'm not against preventing kids and teenagers from accessing NSFW websites and posts but I hate when these new rules are so badly implemented, and I hate how giving evidence of your age can be dangerous becausd of hackers stealing personal data, selling them, stealing people's identity or trying to scam everyone. Someone already tried to scam me after information about a hotel reservation was leaked recently, the scammers tried to use information to make their demands seem believable and utterly failed but with generative AI getting better and better and sensitive data being leaked every five seconds I'm very wary of this sort of things. It's somehow worse than tumblr's porn ban that let actual porn be posted in 2018 but normal pictures with a little too much beige or light orange was interpreted as porn by shitty bots and flagged as such.
>I could never go to cons since I've got too much social anxietyThat sucks. Personally making weeb friends in uni and going to my first cons with them helped me a lot. I don't think I had social anxiety but I was very sheltered and terrified of going outside except for school at the time and I was struggling at school with public speaking. The stress made me physically ill at times but that was a long time ago and all because of external circumstances. Going to cons and other events with friends helped a lot. However I know American cons are crazy expensive so I get it if you don't want to force yourself and see if you can still somewhat enjoy this type of events despite your anxiety.

>>10607>Also I'm American, but European nonnas can you just use a VPN to bypass region blocked content?Yes, I don't have a VPN at the moment cuz I need to renew my subscription but I could use it without issue in sites like Twitter and others which are blocked in my country. Time will tell if we get absolutely tyrannical laws that doesn't even let you use a VPN tho, seeing as in China those are allowed it would be bleak.
>I'm reminded of the temperance movement right now and I'm wondering if there will be enough outrage the whole thing get's repealed, but I don't know British law.Not a Brit so I dunno how it'll be, but I saw that a petition for the parliament got over 100 000 signatures in less than 24 hours so I guess not a lot of people liked it. I think this is much more legit than change.org so here's the link to the petition
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903Also for American nonas, it seems like stuff are also getting banned in your country as well, only in red states but goddamn, everything is getting censored at the same time.

On the topic of doujins, what should I do in the case I purchased one but didn't enjoy the contents of whats in it?
I bought it off mandarake and it was a gamble based off the cover art but unfortunately the dynamic isn't what I was looking for plus I'm no longer into the series the DJ is based off. Its R18 so I don't think I'll be able to bring it to a con swap meet, would my only other option be ebay/selling it online? This is a far fetched option but would I be able to hand it in to a Mandarake retailer for donation even if I'm not a JP citizen? I'd really hate for someone's art to go to waste even if it's not my cup of tea, the last thing I'd want to do is throw it away.

>>10613>This is a far fetched option but would I be able to hand it in to a Mandarake retailer for donation even if I'm not a JP citizen?You can irl but idk about online. They will give you a tiny little bit of money though but it's better than nothing and someone else could buy it later and enjoy the doujinshi more than you did. If it's irl in Japan you need to fill a form and show your passport, they'll take time deciding how much they'll pay you for everything so you can browse the store in the meantime. You can ask the store to throw away what they don't want to buy as well. I sold doujinshi I didn't like and BL manga in Japanese I didn't need anymore after they were officially translated and published where I live.

No.10620
>>10619Samefag and yeah it does but as far as I know, it's Discord asking for your ID or photo to verify you're an adult to see NSFW channels. That doesn't work because you can just get a picture of anyone on Google and say it's you, and also that doesn't stop predators from DMing kids cuz they usually hang around SFW servers.

>>10588>that men are less ground in reality and get off to huge breasts and dickExactly, men's gay content is all just roided guys with huge penises that can be seen throu while clothed.
I've never see women draw men with their cocks visible from under the pants.
If anything women HUMANIZE characters too much, the humanization of fictional characters to the point of doing things like non-sharing yume or wanting rights for female characters over real women etc
It's the opposite problem.
No.10624
>>10622
To be fair male and female BL creators are equally capable of gooning out and drawing sexualised men. Examples are honeyqp and all the other female BL creators on DLsite, and also most of the KR webtoon artists. IIRC you have that visible cock under pants in chapter 1 of Jinx.
No.10627
>>10624NTA and OT but HoneyQP is a woman?
All the sex toys reviews(ones that are obviously intended for men) and futanari content made me believe the opposite but since I also saw djs of Free!, UtaPri and other franchises more popular with women I got confused.

I thought their doujins were also a bit of a review/ad, there's photos of the wacko sex toys.
No.10629
>>10625Sorry i think i misread your post. If you meant that male and female creators depict sexualised male bodies differently (different emphasis and expression of erotic body features) then yes i agree with that. I assumed you were saying that women don't care visual erotics.
>>10627>>10628Ok now I'm doubting myself. I know she's (???) listed as female on mangaupdates and always publishing djs of very typical yaoi ships, the kind that you can just tell gay men don't dabble in so i've automatically accepted her being female. I've dismissed the ads as side hustle. But if they're indeed a man i might need to re-evaluate my assessment of their oeuvre…
No.10630
>>10629Bakaupdates probably isn't wrong, and I agree the ships/series they're drawing are very fujo.
I've been blindsided before by artists I assumed were men because they drew muscles or body hair only to see them posting selfies on their twitter clearly female. I still think there is a different "gaze" though, like even with more bara-adjacent art by women you don't see stuff like the "bear" body type all that often.

Tbh, the franchise BL djs read as female for the most part. It's the original content(both BL and hentai) the one that makes me wonder. That and the onahole/vibrators ads lol.
Maybe she just likes drawing and selling all these comics/merch, who knows.
No.10634
>>10623Yeah I also see it in the opposite side of the art bodytype spectrum. I like twink/femboy/trap type of art because the guys are so cute but yesterday in one of the art discords I frequent someone posted a pink-haired catboy with a dick the size of his own torso and that just ruined the whole catboy.

>>10620It has to be a moving image that can follow the commands to open and close the mouth. Some video game footage works according to viral articles. What got me though is that
one NSFW channel got blocked for me, but all the others in other servers were fine, even the ones with age restriction applied.
Some users are reporting being banned completely from discord because the face scan thought they were under 13. Anyone wanna bet they're Asian women and it has issues with small, round face shapes?

I also wouldn't be surprised if a former coworker of mine also knows these parts of the internet so I already know her irl. We have a manga store in my city I often go to with an extensive BL collection so I also assume most women who buy their books here are terminally online already, it's not impossible some of them use imageboards already.

One of the weirdest things that I've witnessed while following artist accounts is that I remember an artist somewhere around 2018 that was drawing my OTP somewhat sporadically, pretty cute art, very typical fujo account really. Then somewhere in 2020, their account literally became nothing but a bot reposting japanese antivaxx news and japanese antivaxx propaganda, like having at least 2,000 RTs a day. They went from a very normal acc to almost a bot (And they weren't they'd still sometimes talk fujo stuff in the middle of antivaxx RTs) it was bizarre.
Another was an artist I very much liked and thought was normal ending up drawing big fat fucking scat out of nowhere (It's the artist that drew that infamous twst scat doujin) because you never expect a fujo to draw scat at all, let alone like it at all. Upon reading some of their tweets they'd say a lot that they wish they could be like men who draw scat porn and loli.
Anyway, sometimes I really think back on that. Nip fujos sometimes are weird
