Also until I see some ability to actually browse +18 marked sites?? This is rather unfortunate as I do want to be discovered. I'm gonna try to report the feed bug to neocities though and see if they reply. in the meantime i am considering moving my r18 works over to a new site and have an outgoing link there from my main site.
Hey! I'm sorry to hear this has been going on :'0( I only recently learned of the +18 censorship on smut/nudity and am still shocked by it. ;; lots of artists/writers are pigeonholed into less and less sites bc of the restrictions and it's sad to see! if anything, here's to hoping you can get a response + more views! your art's a joy to see!
The thing is it says on the 18+ setting you'd be listed on a special browse page, but I don't see any opt-in toggle in the browsing page to allow for this? Unless I have somehow missed it. I'm very bummed by this because I do both sfw and nsfw art and I'd also like to be able to participate in community here and not be hidden with no way for other nsfw creators to find me.
Yeah, good call, unfortunately the way it's structured isn't great. Another site of mine has a couple of NSFW art pieces on it but I haven't marked the entire site as 18+ for this reason. I have it so that someone browsing the gallery has to click through a thumbnail with a clear warning on it.
I don't know where people get them from these days since there's not really a culture around curating/sharing them anymore, but re: etiquette you can save and display any that you find. Like DeviantART stamps and blinkies, free use is encouraged.
Thank you for the reply!! Since I didn't see anyone linking to sources on them I thought they might be free to use but thought I would ask just in case.
I'm not sure if you've already seen this site but I really love this one: https://neonaut.neocities.org/cyber/88x31 they also happen to link to the original sources (if they can find one) which is doubly helpful (: and like a prior user said: it's probably fine to use for self expression/on your own site
OH WOW! thanks for this link!! this is phenomenal.
