Dear Readers & Haters,
So, a comment on my last post suggests that I delete the blog if I'm so serious about retirement, especially with this new legal issue because apparently possibly going to prison isn't enough to deter me from posting new ones.
So, who else agrees with deletion?
Anybody against?
I was just gonna leave it up for posterity, but if the readers want it gone, then so be it.
Over 20 years of capped pics would be gone in an instant.
I just didn't see a point in deleting if I just stopped. I hate it when blogs I followed just wind up gone. That's me though. Is deletion the expected thing?
Sincerely,
Gensabi
My vote is to leave it up. it is already so hard to find good captions. If the blog remains up then maybe it might help to encourage more to captions later.
ReplyDeleteFor those not subject to USA laws perhaps? I know my audience is worldwide. Know a lot of cappers are from the UK too. I do try to take that into consideration.
DeleteLeave up
ReplyDeleteNo don't leave or take this away you are a great captioner I like it when you do new ones
ReplyDeleteI can't legally upload new ones now because of how that law was passed recently. I'm hoping what's already up is grandfathered in.
DeleteThe last post has the text of the law. It attacks reposting adult images whether real photos or A.I. generated, unless you have permission. TG capped pics aren't exactly something you get model permissions for.
This interferes with fair use doctrine and my 1st Amendment. rights, but if I ignore the law that might lead to prison if this law starts being used against TG captioners, and the way it's written it could be applied that way.
I would leave it up. The objective of these laws is fear. I know it's easy to say that and just comment, but I survived DOGE, so you'll survive this. They object is to take down LGBTQ+, but they want loud and proud for the base, so they will go after bigger fish like Blogger as a whole. At this point, as Pricess Leia would say, the more they tighten their grip, the more slips through their fingers.
ReplyDeletePlease do not take your blog down.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to delete it for your peace of mind or a similar reason, then do it. It's yours, so your feelings matter the most.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'd prefer it left up. But your interests in this regard are most important.
