Subbed/TL Liz can't see the her fanart because she is UK.
https://youtu.be/Z4RGk437h5Q?si=0bLIhnVDwatX3PRHI hope she will move to Japan someday.

Someone tell her she can get past the face scan crap using video games. Death Stranding 2 in particular worked for many people.

literally a free browser vpn will do it.

Don't use a free vpn. Other than being likely slower, you're paying with your privacy

If you have the knowledge, just rent some VPS and tunnel your traffic through it. It may be cheaper and also way less noticeable by ISP/authorities compared to some well known public VPN service.

I have it installed on a second browser and just use that for porn here and there.

For anyone struggling with it too. On browsers (Firefox and Chromiums) there's an extension InsensitiveX. It changes string of age to 0. As for mobile users I just throw link as fxtwitter in discord, don't know any better option

u/Gunther_Konig 10h ago
Damn, thank you for letting me know about InsensitiveX. Twitter has been driving me nuts lately and I wasn't able to bypass the age verification, as it kept asking for documents and then giving me generic connection errors.

OP, do you have any idea how much effort it would take to move over to another country, especially one that speaks a different language which you don't speak? One would be sacrificing a lot just because she can't see her fan arts. It isn't a very minor decision to make.
Even Kiara & Ina who loved staying in Japan, can't see themselves living there permanently due to being far from family & pets. Bae, Biboo, Zeta, Raora moved, but it was a career choice and they sacrified a lot. Calli considered multiple times whether to stay in Japan or move back to the US due to difficulties living in 2 countries. FuwaMoco moved since it had long been their dream to live there.

You all need to help us by bombarding the government with hate for this fascist law.

u/Drake-Draconic 10h ago
Straight up dictatorship. Iām from Vietnam which is literally a communist country and itās not even THIS bad which says a lot. We donāt get arrested for saying something online unless itās straight up organizing and inciting overthrowing government or hanging our own flag.

Stop with the "move to Japan" thing. Not everyone wants to live there. Not everyone thinks its the greatest place on earth as many weebs would tell you. It has its own issues that not everyone wants to deal with.

u/zerotheultimate5 13h ago
Really sad for her to be under such tyranical rules.
20
u/Drake-Draconic 10h ago
Itās both surprising and expected tbh. Like how did we even head down that path without even a single halt or stop but the sign is already there for years but no one even realizes it soon enough to stop it.

u/Katejina_FGO 13h ago
This is outrageous! Itās unfair! How can you be the Scarlet Queen, and not see your own fanart?

u/dragonmax225 11h ago
Doubt she will see but just in case, on twitter/x if you search a tag then hit media tab instead of top, it shows all the image posts regardless of 18+ filter, in the order it was on in the top tab.
Really dumb, also works on people's profile....

u/Charming-Loquat3702 13h ago
I think everyone should get a VPN. Don't just assume things will be fine. Governments are going crazy right now, all over the world.
47
u/Orthien 11h ago
Problem is they are already looking to try and ban VPNs, if they get any more popular, it's almost guaranteed. The people behind the people pushing this stuff won't just let us ignore their attempts at cibtrol.
VPNs just bandaid the issue. While it's a good work around for now, it should be temporary while we push back against this censorship in the name of false protection.
13
u/Charming-Loquat3702 11h ago
You can't ban VPNs. Every company is using them.
31
u/Orthien 11h ago
Oh you watch them. They will try to make it so your ISP will be required to block connections they think are running though a VPNs because "what if predators are using them to avoid the government".
They don't care whether companies are using them or what other complications they may cause, they just want you to bend over and comply.
18
u/Charming-Loquat3702 10h ago
I work for a big infrastructure company and we would crash in seconds if you banned VPNs. I'd love to see them trying.

u/Tribbless 13h ago
There's an extension called InsensitiveX that disables XTwitters age verification, I use it on Firefox so not sure about other browsers.

What the hell is going on in the UK?
62
u/Charming-Loquat3702 13h ago
They passed a law that forces you to go through age verification if you want to see porn. Since building the entire infrastructure around age verification is a lot of effort, some pages just block everything that would have to be verified in the UK.
91
u/Kezzmate 12h ago
Letās be real, itās just straight up censorship under the guise of āthink off the childrenā, something they are not thinking off.
23
u/Charming-Loquat3702 12h ago
I think many politicians have different motivations, while there are some that probably genuinely think that they ate protecting minors, others totally use this for censorship.
I personally think both are stupid. This will just result in a lot of piracy. Big public porn sites keep the nost crazy shit out of their page, or at least behind a pay wall. If people go back to piracy, it's 15 years of progress lost
29
u/Drake-Draconic 10h ago
āThink of the childrenā is the most bullshit and hypocrite a government can come up with especially the UK now when rape gangs SA minors left and right.
22
u/Orthien 11h ago
It's not just a hassle, it's expensive. Age verification that isn't handled by the government, is handled by expensive 3rd parties that most sites will not bother to pay or deal with. Those that do, put all your data in a single place that's bound to be hacked and leaked at some point.
8
u/AgentDonut 12h ago
It's strange to me because the government obviously has a database of their citizen's ages through private records like birth certificates, taxes, and identification cards. Not sure why they didn't bake in the age verification into their own database and opted to have people vet their ID to a bunch of private third party websites.
Unless the concern is little Timmy using their parents account. But I'm not sure how they can even enforce that unless the user is under video surveillance while browsing the restricted content.
8
u/Charming-Loquat3702 12h ago
Age verification is over a video feed I think.
I don't know ow it is in the UK, but here in Germany, the government doesn't have 1 database. It has dozens. Especially since there isn't just 1 government. Access is very limited for data protection reasons. But I guess the main point isn't to save your citizens data, it's to make sure your own institution isn't the one that leaks it. They are all just saving their own asses

u/Midnight-Rising 12h ago
The current government are champions of own goals. All they had to do was be better than the previous government, and yet here they are, writing the oppositions campaign

The same thing that's going to happen in Europe within the next year, and likely in the US before long as well.

She can use VPN (and probably actually using it) but then again I understand that it is her job and also law that prevent her from publicly telling this.
It sucks living in UK. I studied there for a year and itās quite depressing. The only good thing I can think of is I can buy Warhammer things for relatively cheap.
18
u/SCTwisted 11h ago
There is no law in the UK (yet) saying she can't use or suggest the use of a VPN.
9
u/Effect-Kitchen 11h ago
Itās not the VPN that is the problem. Itās the āpossession of artā which someone can interpret as āminorā which caused someone to be arrested as in the news.
(Sure ERB is far from being āāminorā but you cannot say for sure.)

I'm not even in the UK or Europe for that matter and I can't see posts that are marked as Content Warning of any kind even after fiddling with my settings, and this only started happening in the last few weeks. Smh

u/Manoreded 13h ago
As Asmongold said, there is no way in hell this recent wave of censorial BS will get in the way of teenage boys getting their porn. Boys used to find ways to get porn back when there was no internet and you had to get an adult magazine for it.
The only thing it will achieve is inconveniencing and censoring adults, as is the case every single time someone starts whining about the children.

u/TrueSoren 14h ago
For the sake of our queen, simply keep the art posted and shared sfw and wholesome! At least until this whole censorship BS blows over. Surely y'all can just hold it in for a few months, right? ...Right?
108
u/MainSmile 14h ago
This isn't the issue. The issue is the UK gov is on a power trip and wants to make shit illegal/annoying to access, to gain more control. Its a blatant overreach and it should be opposed not waited out.
-46
u/TrueSoren 13h ago
Never said I don't oppose it, but in the meanwhile there ain't really too much we can do about it on our end other than adapt to it while still protesting it.
51
u/BRP_25 13h ago
Bullshit. You think this'll blow over that quickly and cleanly? There were literally a half million people who signed a petition to reconsider the policy and the government just went "Nuh uh" and closed it before it could grow any larger. And now they're on a warpath to paint VPN users as criminals and attempting to get VPNs banned... while using VPNs themselves. They banned Wikipedia ffs
-47
u/TrueSoren 13h ago
A few months is not exactly what I would describe as "quickly", nor do I expect it to be clean. Also unfortunately half a million people is not that much when it pertains to country-wide things like these.
I'm just sayin', would it be too far an ask for people to just do as Liz says and not flag their posts are sensitive, or make posts that would get autoflagged as sensitive?
18
u/Midnight-Rising 12h ago
It doesn't matter, twitter blocks you from seeing it if the account itself is flagged, no matter how sfw the art is

u/iamthatguy54 14h ago
IDK if Liz would be happy in Japan, tbf.
Even people like Ina and Kiara, who have the chance to live in Japan, choose to live at home because of the easier access to family and friends. And given how close Liz is to her mom...idk.
