The issue is that "less restrictions on horny stuff" means "more restrictions from payment processors" nowadays. Doubly so if you're a Russian platform like Subscribestar is.
- egypturnash 3y agohahahhaa Subscribestar is Russian? Well that's gonna be fun for all the furry artists posting super-gay stuff on there once it gets big enough for the Russian government to notice.
- hknmtt 3y agoYes, but they operate from american llc.
- jowea 3y agoWonder if they will care if it's mostly a foreign audience.
- twic 3y agoThe Russian government will probably subsidise them to further weaken the West.
- zztop44 3y agoThen they’ll be disappointed. Accepting gay stuff does not weaken any country or region.
- BeFlatXIII 3y ago…but tricking millions of men into lusting after big booba vixens instead of other humans (of either gender) may.
- kmeisthax 3y agoThat's not Russia's MO. Their goal is to continue funneling money to far-right westerners and having a funding platform lets them do that. Furries using it provides plausible deniability in the same way that anti-censorship activists using Tor provides deniability for CIA agents.
- cultofmetatron 3y agoGetting $country to pander to $minority_population is a pretty universal tactic for subjugating a population.
- kmeisthax 3y agoRussia's MO - and the only thing they're good at - is information warfare. They don't care about the furry porn as long as it lets them propagandize the far-right in other countries.
- Kye 3y agoI don't get the impression Russia's censorship laws are applied outside Russia. You can find tons of gay stuff on Yandex's image and video search without being coy about the search terms.

- idiotsecant 3y agoDon't make the mistake of thinking the Russian government actually cares about homosexuality. It's for internal consumption only, for the purposes of establishing a convenient domestic 'other'. If they have to choose between a revenue source and enforcing the morality policies of the state in a way that doesn't interfere with the internal propaganda machine it's clear which option wins.
- tetraca 3y agoWhether or not it's tolerable enough for the Russian government probably depends on whether or not SubscribeStar is keeping up with giving the appropriate people in the Russian government a cut of their money.
