see i think what people get caught up in is going “oh this and that are fetish art……hey did you know x thing is a fetish…pretty crazy right…..this piece of art is actually a fetish for the artist……..” and like. see the problem is thinking that devalues the art. i don’t think something being a fetish or sexual in nature or whatever actually detracts from any meaning or emotional weight something could have. i don’t think “horny” is a worthless or meaningless emotion and i don’t see why exploring it in art is any different from “sadness” or “happiness” or “anger”. does that make sense? im just sayin we should examine why we view sexuality as inherently detracting/meaning less in art than other things
…Anyway, I created a Userscript for the Chrome/Firefox Stylus Extension that reverts the new dashboard to the old format. This took a lot of tweaking and it’s not perfect at all, but if anyone wants it I’ll be uploading it soonish now!
Style will open a tag with it and in the left side you’ll have a button that says “install style”, click there. (Step-by-step copied from the lovely dorothyoz39 who wrote this in a reply!)
If you don’t want the sticky header you can remove the labelled script at the top of the css below /* Sticky Header*/
Be sure to check for updates, I’m fixing things as I go! To update click the Manage button on Stylus and click the check for update button below! If you experience any bugs let me know - feel free to edit it yourself as well!P.S. Works just fine alongside Xkit!
Check under the cut for the changelog and known issues!
The reason it’s so difficult to get a handle on the history and development of interactive fiction is that we’re never going to be working with a complete picture until we’re prepared to acknowledge the vital role in that history of all the weird porn.
Like, I cannot emphasise strongly enough that I have seen multiple long-winded thinkpieces about the origins of Phoenix Wright style investigative visual novels that straight up do not acknowledge the entire PC-98 generation of VNs because there’s just no good way to get into that chapter of the genre’s history without mentioning the porn.
