Honestly, I didn't expect to write my first article because of that disaster. A disaster for Civitai who seriously eroded its public image, disaster for users who lost their ability to generate freely what they want, a disaster because companies with blood on their hands (Hi Visa/Mastercard) are telling you it's bad to produce free porn for the mass (what a laugh), a disaster because small groups (Hi Collective Shout) esteem the majority don't think right and force their ideology without any space for a sane debate.

Hi. I'm Trisquelion. A creator (artist ?) engaged for a few month into SFW/NSFW content. After the magistral announcement of JustMaier (see here) and the damage control tentative (see there), I must admit I'm not impacted as I've always generated my stuff locally since the beginning. For those who can't or don't want to, it's a slap directly in the face. A lot have already posted his opinion/decision about the platform, and Civitai only gather what it deserves...

So what's the point of this article ? Your alternatives and, by extension, your possibilities to make your voice heard.

If you can, generate locally

Maybe some of you think they don't have the minimal setup for the task. If you aim an SDXL model type (Pony/Illustrious/NAI), a RTX 3060 12 GB (even 8) is way enough (and 16 GB RAM). A new one cost around 260 € or 280 $. It's a cost for some of you but for the others, it's about 2 years of bronze subscription plan on this website. Not bad you say ? Here's your new limit :

• 10000 Yellow Buzz each month, now mandatory for your NSFW attempts

• On Pony v7 (to stay on a controversial vibe), it's 10 buzz per image, so 100 image/month

• You're free to spend your money as you like, but 10 each month for 100 NSFW images don't worth a 3060 with absolutely no restriction.

I also add that for a single image I post, between the concepts, the refining, the upscaling and the inpainting, I generate between 30-50 in average for an "easy" work (solo focus, classic composition). Civitai... Are you trying to steal your customers ?

To end this section, I'm aware that I only mention the price of the graphic card and not the entire PC. It's probably difficult to find an entire config below 600 $. Yet, the game of those companies is to convince you the material is toot expensive to puncture regularly a small fee, and at the end makes you spend more for them than that initial price.

Alternatives if you can't

This part will be short. I link here an article of Asspounder who lists some online alternatives as well as the classics for offline generation. I encourage you to at least bookmark his article.

A petition against Visa/Mastercard

Here's a petition to make your voice heard against the politic of Visa/Mastercard, their hypocrisy, and also to remind to those small activist groups they don't speak for everyone. Don't hesitate to read the page. Everything is said, clearly and concisely. And participate if you feel concerned by the cause.

Those companies didn't fear our opinion only because they can isolate each of us to persuade our voice is nothingless. But the reality is that they fear a group, and moreover a group able to touch to their wallet. Don't give up because you think your voice didn't count. EVERYONE of you matters !

What I can (modestly) offer

I'm aware that it's hard for some of you to be private of probably the best offer till now to make online NSFW. If you wanted a specific NSFW image that you can't do anymore now, you can contact me in the chat so I can make a free one for you.

Please consider my style before asking (my image gallery), almost not to disappoint you. I mainly work with 3wolfMondAI-LastSDG, Nova Furry XL and Nova Kemono XL. I don't expect a lot of requests as I'm a small creator but I'll make an update if necessary.

I hope this situation can reverse sooner or later. My apologies for the approximate English.

Take care
