sometimes people complain that my 18+ art appears in google search results for certain fandoms and characters, like hhgregg. people are genuinely upset at me for this when i have no control over what google images does with my pictures.

i'm not sure what to do about this. i tried looking up hhgregg on google both with and without safesearch. the results were identical to the point that adult artwork showed up on safesearch, which is not a good thing. if i want to advocate for people under 18 to use safesearch, then something needs to be done about it by the adults of the community.

i think that safesearch can be a good tool if it works well, but a dedicated team would have to look through search results regularly and report images that don't fit an -18 audience.

the mlp fandom used to have a small thing called "safe search wrap up" where they would type in keywords relating to various characters and report images that were too sexual or violent to appear on safesearch. maybe that idea is something to keep in mind. i'm scared that kids will expose themselves to explicit images while trying to be heroes, but i hope responsible adults can work together to make a useful tool that lets minors control their own online experiences without restricting what adult content can exist.

i understand that i have done a lot of creepy and sketchy behavior that i have affected a lot of people with. i have been openly sexual and romantic in places where i shouldn't have been. for some reason i was under the impression that some comments i made were okay because they weren't sexually explicit or they were jokes. this is incorrect, as suggestive posts, making sex jokes without intention, or even expressing non-sexual romantic desire can cause great harm and distress to other people as well. i was stupid and irresponsible about where some of my posts were made to the point where it was dangerous. i have learned more about how i should place my boundaries since then and i hope to keep this behavior in places where it belongs. i'm sorry for the harm i may have caused during the past decade or so.

here's a preview of something i'm doing. i'm drawing hh with a sweater from an advertisement, but i accidentally got the details wrong.

i hope you can forgive, i just realized this right now.

Hey, if you're under 18 and viewing my sexually explicit material, you're actually putting both of our lives in danger. The risk of both of us being hurt mentally and physically gets higher.

I don't want to interact with minors in any context involving sex. I will block you if i suspect you of being a minor while interacting with me in this way.

Please stop. Thank you.
