Or anything else I may like. Art tag is #Doodle Dump if ya just want to see my Art. Fandom obsessions are all over the place so expect there to be stages where things do a 180.
Here’s a small list of alternatives to maneuvering around the dumpster fire that is the FFXIV TexTools discord server.
XIVMODARCHIVE: A website built for archiving all modding resources ( TexTools, TexTools ColorSet Editor, etc ), and mods, without having the join the FFXIV TexTools server.
Requires your discord log-in to toggle offNSFW previews.
Dashboard > Website Preferences: NSFW Content
FFXIV CONTRIBUTION DISCORD: An active modding community that participates together in commissioning mod makers. There is a system in place so that those who contribute have early-access to mods before its public release.
Since the 17th about 12 of my posts where flagged as adult content and when I went to try and appeal it there was no appeal button. I went through their help and read the whole article. I even contacted support who then copied and pasted their help page not even trying to assist me. All I know is that there was supposed to be a button for the original creator to click and allow up to appeal but there wasn’t.
On my computer:
On the app:
See no button for appeal.
It has taken me days to figure out this work around and I thought some other people out there might be having this issue.
Now here is how you appeal your post when you don’t have the appeal button
Now go through your blog and find all your pages with censored posts clicking on them to take you to the original post.
They came for Craigslist personals first because that’s the oldest trick in the book: Sneakily taking down the ‘perverts’ under the guise of vague, high morality goals and working slowly up from the bottom, picking off larger and larger targets. Few people cared about CL because of the stereotype of scary unwashed creeps trawling for sex online. That wasn’t so familiar or cute so it was fair game.
Tumblr is biting at the ‘artists’ heels and suddenly there is a bit more noise, because artists aren’t supposed to be treated like shit, are they? However even now the hair-splitting over what’s porn and therefore garbage and not-art shows that attitudes are not so different. It’s still the same divisive, dangerous us v.s. themmentality that is so easily exploited.
This is why when people tell me I shouldn’t worry about this because ‘my art isn’t porn anyway’ it makes me angry. It means so much more than drawings or a silly blog. This is about people being slowly phased out of their freedoms, rights and agency. History has shown time and time again that whenever power wants to make a crushing move backwards, it comes for what it declares ‘obscene’ first. People are raised to be scared and ignorant of sex so it’s an easy gateway. When they come cracking down on sex is when we most need to pay very close attention. They are not protecting us.
Yeah. This isn’t about whether *you*, specifically, don’t want NSFW content shoved in front of your eyeballs, it’s about whether the people who want to see NSFW content have the right to see it *at all*.
It’s also about what counts as ‘nsfw’ or ‘pornographic’ content. The article hints at it but doesn’t state it directly, but LGBT content - any LGBT content, even the most G-rated or strictly informative kind - is usually an early target in the name of ‘cleaning up’ a website. (YouTube, for example, is already guilty of doing this.)

➥ What do they hate most about themselves?: Xhalth doesn’t usually speak up when in the middle of any conflict. He doesn’t like confrontation and one time when did stand his ground it resulted with him receiving his scars. More often than not him failing to speak up leads him into more trouble.

➥ Have they ever lost someone close to them?: Haurchefant was the first person since his mother that he ever truly felt close to. His mother died when he was young giving birth to his youngest brother, and his father felt too much heartache to be close to him.( Xhalth is almost the spitting image of his mother. ) When Haurchefant died he felt for a long time he was to blame.
➥ What is their favorite sound?: He likes the sound of running water. He would often play by the small stream at his family estate when he was younger as his mother would sing and tell stories.
➥ Are they judgmental of others?: Due to his family dynamics and status, Xhalth is slow to trust. He tends to expect most people who are friendly to want a favor or something out of him rather than genuine friendship. This is a big reason why he is so reserved and keeps to himself.

➥ What is their most disliked food?: He is not a big fan of sweets. Though he does like the occasional pastry.
➥ Do they have any enemies?: He is estranged to his family though he doesn’t really consider them enemies. The ones behind Haurchefant’s death though is another story.
