Practice Drawings for Coping #3

Well, it's right back into more coping sketches before I dump most of my weekly haul of drawings in here in my next post. I'm growing increasingly worried about these rumors going around on whether or not there's going to be yet another "Tumblr Incident" level of banning NSFW content from Twitter, which for the past few years has remained my main social media hub and my main site for whenever I post art or communicate with either friends, followers, and even my family members. I'm hoping in some way that merely marking my content as "sensitive material" would be enough to shield me from being banned off my current only means of long-distance communication with any family members whenever they're out of town. As I've went past well over 4,000 followers, some of which include other great artists, loyal friends, and even people I've grown an admirable amount of trust in, if what I've been hearing turns out true, then 2020 would end up being a terrible start to a truly uncertain decade indeed.

Hopefully from whatever reassuring information I gather that'll tell me everything's going to be okay, I can still retain an inkling of dignified concentrated hope that I won't lose a platform that has helped me cope with my loneliness and made me more confident in my art. Sure, I could just move to other platforms, and maybe one day a NewTumbl situation might arise wherein a functioning Twitter facsimile would arise and be more welcoming and tolerant towards lewd/NSFW content creators and the like. But the likelihood of that ever happening is like the likelihood of a large square peg fitting in a small circular hole that's 3 times smaller than said square peg, so reasonably speaking I'm genuinely terrified at the potential censorship that I hope doesn't occur to my last bastion of functional social media I could rely on. Sure, Twitter has its flaws, but it's at least better than Facebook in a variety of ways save for the lack of a post editing feature or even marking a post as "sensitive media" before tweeting it. But whatever. I don't need to waste so much time ranting.

Hopefully, my art has both motivated, inspired or at the very least entertained you these past few years whether on Twitter, here, NewTumbl, or more recently Pixiv from time to time. Just know that I'm eternally grateful for all the people who went ahead, checked out my art, and even took some time to befriend me as well. Thank you. And here's hoping your holiday season will be well.

Hang in there,mate. You have a lot of talent and to be frank,it shouldn't go to waste. I feel you though. Though I wasn't a tumblr user I heard about the crack down when it came to artists who produced more risque adult material. As for twitter? Eh, got suspended from that social ap long ago just because of "thought crimes". I wish I could say I was joking but that's really how it went down. I'm grateful we do still have newgrounds. Beyond that supposedly pillow-fort allows adult content and for creators to make their own communities but the name "pillow-fort" just makes me giggle uncontrollably! Still,might be worth looking into.

Hang on, what's this about Twitter taking Tumblr's stance on NSFW contents? I've been so busy worrying about COPPA that I'm out of the loop.
