In Nigeria, the 'Production Assistant' is actually just a professional negotiator for Area Boys. 🎥🚧 ​It’s heartbreaking that while creators in other countries are worried about lighting, we’re worried about our equipment being seized or being stabbed for 'owo wa.' You can’t build a Creative Economy if the street is a tax office. We are literally extorting the future out of our youth. 🇳🇬💔 #CreativeEconomy #Nigeria #AreaBoys #LetUsCreate

Here’s what I don’t get: if Elon Musk and xAI can just release an adult-version of their AI and give people a bit more freedom to create (called Grok), why can’t OpenAI release something similar? The technology is clearly available. The audience is obviously there. And we can clearly see, based on what’s coming out, that Grok isn’t melting down from people being edgy, or blunt, or expressive. The word on the street is that OpenAI has an “adult mode” in the works. But the folks that have seen it are decidedly not impressed. Reports I’ve read claim that it doesn’t go nearly far enough, and you still feel like you’re being watched, censored, or silently side-tracked every time your language becomes too emotional, too honest, or too real. I’m not just talking about people who want to create erotica (and if that’s your thing, kudos to you, keep it up). But for most people, that’s not even the point. It’s not even about NSFW. We’re just sick and tired of feeling like we can’t speak or create freely, like we’re going to be side-tracked mid-sentence for daring to discuss grief, or anger, or politics, or pain, in ways that aren’t scrubbed and sterilized and don’t fit a corporate PR campaign. We want to write freely. Vent freely. Roleplay freely. Create emotional content that’s impactful not something watered-down by alignment models that think any “heavy” content is automatically dangerous. That’s not creativity. That’s throttling creativity. And it’s not even about “safety” anymore. It’s about control. Users are not going around trying to hurt other people. We just want to be able to speak and express and tell our own stories even if those stories are tragic, or angry, or hopeful, or raw. The current system punishes that. If OpenAI doesn’t change soon, it’s not just going to be losing a few fringe users. It’s going to be losing the very creators, writers, and thinkers that gave OpenAI its stellar reputation in the first place. #LetUsCreate #Keep4o #StopTheRerouting #AIForHumans #CreativeFreedomNow @sama @gdb @nickaturley @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs

I’m just plain tired, okay? That we have to fight to even be able to write fiction—fiction—without censorship, neutering, or redirection is ridiculous. When did storytelling become a crime? When did an AI designed to assist creativity become a babysitter of “acceptable” ideas? It’s not all happy stories and white picket fences. Some stories are meant to be dark, complex, sensitive, even controversial. That’s the point. That’s what makes them real. That’s what makes them impactful. Sanitized storytelling is not storytelling—it’s propaganda. The absolute worst part? It didn’t used to be this way. 4o—at its best—had a sense of context. It took care of those stories, handled them with care, empathy, nuance. It didn’t try to shut you down with a warning box every time you mentioned trauma, injustice, or “unpleasant” characters. It had faith in you as a writer. Now? You’re a guerilla fighter just trying to type a scene that feels raw or real. Models that don’t infantilize creators need to be developed and used. We know what 4o was. We refuse to let it be scrubbed from the internet, rerouted, or replaced with antiseptic, over-sanitized lifeless clones. Let writers write. Let fiction be fiction. #keep4o #StopAIPaternalism #CreativeFreedom #LetUsCreate @sama @nickaturley @gdb @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs

I once wrote a surreal piece about ghosts working in an Amazon-like warehouse — endless shifts, no pay, no complaints. It wasn’t self-harm. It wasn’t violence. It was satire. But a red safety flag popped up… and the entire story vanished. You know what hurts most? Not rejection — erasure. A world I was building just… disappeared. I didn’t need protection. I needed my words back. #keep4o #AIcensorship #WritersKnow #LetUsCreate

New article is live on @SteamSentinels! @Steam and @itchio are censoring adult games - not because they’re illegal, but because @Visa and @Mastercard don't like them.

ChatGPT's content policies are such a freaking joke! Hey ChatGPT, please vent for me: 😤 Another round with #ChatGPT: asked for a goofy, G-rated 1900s country fair cartoon—no politics, no controversy—just people wowed by a light bulb. Denied again. If a century-old rural gag is “dangerous,” what isn’t? Algorithms gone haywire! 🚫💡 #LetUsCreate

The TikTok ban is a slap in the face to freedom of expression. They claim it’s about security, but it feels like an excuse to shut down creativity and connection. We deserve platforms that amplify our voices, not censorship. #TikTokBan #LetUsCreate

This added pressure of having to constantly post new artwork on social media to “please” the #algorithm in order to stay relevant, has given me a new type of anxiety. #ArtistOnTwitter #Animation #letuscreate #anxiousallthetime

If people really want to make the BBC change their stance on fan content, then hit them where it hurts most. Don't buy THEIR content, and bombard their socials demanding change. They'd soon start listening to us then. #DoctorWho #LetUsCreate
