Being transgender, queer, part of the BDSM community, having your identity be unpalatable to the general public, and even to parts of our own communities, and not censoring your self in all of that, is not financially profitable.

So how can a group like ours survive? How can we hope to create and support our selves while refusing to stop making content that is for our fellow queers, kinksters, trans folks and furries, all the freaks and geeks alike? It's certainly seems like a particularly bad time to start up a project like this knowing all this doesn't it? But that's why it also feels more important than ever.

The only way we can survive is by getting our content to the community that we know wants it. We're creating the kind of content we wished existed and that we know we would have watched. We don't have any capital to pay for any kind of advertisements (we're nerodivergent, disabled and transgender so you know) so we can only do our best to fight the algorithms that are actively suppress and censoring our type of content.

I was asked by someone recently why we didn't just at least soften up some of the edges even a little so we could reach a wider audience. I understood why they asked, they want us to succeed and are aware of the impact of us not doing anything to be more palatable. I explained though that that would go against the entire point of this group and it's projects. We can only hope that the people who want our content will share it with their friends and that their friends will do the same. Because in the end, that's one way that governments and institutions and algorithms can't censor, they can't censor the connections that you have with your fellow community members.

If Trans TTRPG live-plays interest you, then check us out. Giving our YouTube a follow and checking out our series is the type of thing that will help us the most. Our community is who this content is for, that's likely you if you've come across this post. If our content isn't your vibe maybe you know somebody who's vibe it is.
