G👀d Morning ☀️☕️

@littlest-lily Her Daz3D gallery is still up, including sizey images.

I promise you that these companies don’t spend any time at all on serious evaluations of these issues. The algorithm flags them for deactivation and you have to appeal it to get a human to look at them. Starting since last year, DA account holders have been told that any depiction of size differential is “ambiguous with regard to issues of consent.”

[littlest-lily]

@Olo I guess I’d be shocked since I’m so involved with the SFW community and haven’t heard this happen to anyone on that side at all. But then again, a lot of folks have moved on from DA by this point, and I don’t particularly trust the site (sigh)

This makes me wonder if Colliaz wasn’t, in fact, a victim of DA’s notorious practice of deleting size kink accounts without warning.

Same. Not going to try to psychologise, but they weren’t in a good headspace, poor thing.

Does “Deactivated” means the same thing as “Deleted”, on Deviantart? Fuck if she’s been taken down we ALL could.

I think, like social media accounts, DA doesn’t allow users to delete their accounts, but you can deactivate instead. Similar with submissions: I tried to do the same with my old account some time ago and they made it VERY hard for me to delete my own art - I had to opt for “archiving” or something that essentially made it unavailable for viewing by anybody (regardless of whether they saved it in their favs or had a link to it). It still remain on DA’s servers though, I guess. Likely something in the fineprint under and ownership clause, etc. It did the job, but I was/am still miffed about it.

That’s recent enough that I hadn’t seen it. What’s before that?

Okay, I had that one. Thanks.

[foreverlurk]

Good news, it seems her account is back although she hasn’t posted anything new yet.

[Olo]

@foreverlurk Are all the old pieces back, or does she still have to reupload them?

[foreverlurk]

@Olo Hmm everything looks there but I can’t know for sure if anything has been removed. The most recent pieces are intact. I won’t pry too much but I did ask on her profile if everything was okay.

[Olo]

@foreverlurk The absence of any statement regarding censorship by DA inclines me toward your original theory that this was a personal retreat by Colliaz, possibly related to depression.

They’re back

[Olo]

@giantmaneddie Woo-hoo!

[giantmaneddie]

They have said Date+ might switch to reading only. They haven’t decided.

[Olo]

@giantmaneddie By “reading only” do you mean no images?

[giantmaneddie]

@Olo yeah it seems

Randomly coming back to this bc there’s a thought that Lukas expresses which has been floating around my mind ever since.

Honestly, he wanted to be able to go back in time and hold her, encase her in his fist and never let her go. He had the power and strength to do it, she was his but at the same time shame washed over him for these thoughts.
Was he really such a monster that could do that?

I do get a little excited when the gentle Giants are conflicted with this type of thing because he’s right, he could easily pluck her back up, ignore her squeaky protests and take her home with him yet he refuses, respects her space and remains the true gentleman that he is. But there will always be a small part of me mumbling do it, please take her.
I find it very hot when they have to try and fight off these darker urges, I think it’s also what I find so attractive about Giants in general… they can technically do whatever they like
