  • I’m sure a lot of people are like that. It used to be very common on every hentai site (on many it still is) and on sites like Reddit, and art sites. Some people complained, most didn’t seem to care. There seems to be have some pressure put on a lot of websites (by advertisers? payment processors?) around the same time. Maybe also when Australia declared that drawn content was CP. Reddit cracked down on the loli subreddits (including SFW), booru sites like Gelbooru and E621 made it so you have to log in to see loli content, even 4chan doesn’t allow loli on most boards now. This only happened in the west though, sites like Pixiv still have a ton.

    So to a new internet user, it seems like this stuff is much more rare/forbidden, but I’m sure everyone didn’t actually change how they feel in the past 10 years. Most people are like “eh, as long as it’s drawn, whatever” and although a minority, that content remains EXTREMELY popular on the sites that have it. A lot of people won’t admit they’re into it though. In a similar vein, now it’s considered bad to admit you’re tolerant of it on websites you use at all.










  • God, I remember when Discord blew up and basically destroyed Teamspeak and Mumble overnight. I didnt think teamspeak was lacking ease of use, but I was wrong. It was really big on MMOs. Being able to go straight in your browser and type “discord.gg/guildname” without downloading anything got people who NEVER used voice chat on to servers. Everybody eventually downloaded the desktop version later, but many of those people would never download desktop IRC/teamspeak and remember an IP address.

    Of course it also helped that it was free to host 24/7 with zero tech knowledge, so any moron could host without needing to pay for a server or leave their computer on for it to stay up. But even people who could host quickly moved to discord.

    Now Discord owns basically everyone’s gaming chat and can moderate your server whether you like it or not, compared to if you had a server on your computer nothing could take it down except actually getting the police on your ass.

    They’re going to start trying to really profit off it soon, and it’s going to get a lot worse.
