HOLY SHIT 🔥
Japan is not playing games anymore.
At NicoNico Chokaigi 2026, **Japan Strategy Minister Onoda Kimi** dropped this absolute fire:
**“Shut up — This is Japan!”**
She made it crystal clear: The Japanese government will defend anime, manga, and Japanese creators from foreign pressure and demands to change their work.
This is exactly what Japanese Art Freedom Month is all about.
Massive respect to Minister Onoda and Japan for standing firm and protecting real creative freedom 👑

‘Chikn Nuggit’ creator Kyra Kupetsky announces her departure from the show after BuzzFeed made a requirement to feed the show to AI.
“I am very anti-Al and cannot support this. Thus I am leaving to boycott this. I am so upset it's come to this and I cannot apologize enough for this happening.”
thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart. thank you for your kindness. thank you for being the best community. thank you for making my return stream as indie mouse so special and for supporting me and the @immunedeficienC . donate plasma. i love you guys.
If you are one of the people making Feri apologize, may your pillow never be cool on either side. This is someone who always finds the good in this mostly awful community and still tries to bring us together. Shame on all of you who are making them feel the need to post this.
People complaining about unrealistic body mods as if the game doesn't literally have FANTASY in its title. Impossibly proportioned tits and ass are the line we're drawing on realism in a world with catgirls and dragons?
I wasn't planning on posting my thoughts on this, but seeing more of my friends speaking up and looking more into the situation, I hope this message isn't perceived wrong.
They also plan to go public. Fucking rip discord.
I swear there's this cycle where every 8-10 years we migrate to a new messenger because the last one got enshittified.
Because of your proven FALSE accusation, the artist was harassed and threatened. Now the artist has completely left the internet and shut down their accounts.
So no, sorry just won’t cut it after the irreparable damage you have done levelling a false accusation of using Ai with practically no real evidence.
Go look out for the artist - see if he/she still has a public online presence somewhere.
Apologise to that artist. Remember, the artist can decide whether to forgive you or not.
If the artist comes back, and moves on. Then people can accept your “sorry��, because right now your sorry means NOTHING.
Right now you don’t even have the decency to name the artist you wronged by handle or name. Just saying “I did something wrong and deleted it”, hoping people will just forget it.
Your lack of specificity and willingness to memoryhole the real damage you have done to someone completely innocent, is insulting.
this is insane, a legitimate artist bullied out of existence for what reason???
At what point does this kind of stuff start to deserve *actual* consequences? This platform is so unbelievably hostile to artists at this point I don't even know what to say
