Weekly Update [01-20-24] - The Countdown!
🕑 Added 2024-01-20 16:59:00 +0000 UTCGood day agents. Oh boy do I have some spicy news for you. Don't worry about the production pipeline. All is proceeding as planned and the Progress Tracker above says it all. Nah, this little piece of news is a very different issue that came up earlier this week.
I'm not certain how many of you came from the art sharing platform called pixiv. So I don't know how many of you actually noticed, but some time at the beginning of the week, the aforementioned platform suspended my account.
The reason they stated in their most likely auto-generated email: [Realistic images that could be mistaken for real-life photographs.]
Yes, I had to blink a few times too.
After all this time we've finally done it. We've officially crossed the uncanny valley and thus shattered some moral parameters that the big P finds unacceptable. But hey, I can't even be mad about that. Because making realistic action has been the goal all along! So I'll take that as a win and move along. It's their platform after all so we have to play by their rules whatever they may be.
But the important point is that this particular event raised a very important issue.
I don't expect things to get easier in the future. I'm fully aware that what we do here is neither politically correct nor openly accepted by society at large. We all know how that goes. So there may come a time when literally all the platforms we are in will shut us out, and again, that is also ok - but we'll have to be ready for it.
That means nothing changes. We move forth as planned. But I will be on the lookout for other platforms to share our artwork on. If you by chance know of any interesting sites to keep in mind, let me know.
Drop a DM, comment or hey ... Although our server isn't fully operational, you can always write to me directly - search for 'hexnspiel' on Discord or X.
Onwards and upwards! <3
