Onionket 5 is This Weekend, August 19th and 20th

The 5th Onion Comic Market (or “Onionket”) is coming up this weekend, and the event catalog is available for everybody to browse now. Over a dozen artists, writers, coders, and more share their work with the world, free from the fear of censorship.

Onionket is a decentralized, censorship-resistant online doujin/art festival hosted exclusively in the Dark Web. Onionket gives artists a SIMPLE, FREE, and CENSORSHIP-RESISTANT way to distribute their work. Using an open-source program called “OnionShare”, each artist creates and hosts their own simple .onion website on the Tor network. Onionket collects and publishes a catalog of these links, allowing others to browse and access them.

Each site is totally under the artist’s control, making censorship impossible. And being on the Tor network means heightened privacy for fans and artists alike. Many artists also have support links and wallet addresses for Monero and other cryptocurrencies, should any followers feel like supporting their work.

There’s also the official Onionket 5 Livestream, hosted on PeerTube on Saturday, August 19th, from 2pm to 4pm, and again from 9pm to 11pm JST. Chat with circle owners and other participants will be available in the live window, as well as an OnionShare-powered Tor chatroom, a Session Closed Group, and an XMPP chatroom over Tor provided by our friends at Libreshack

The Onionket 5 catalog is now available on our main site, as well as mirrors on a noJavaScript page, a Tor onion site, and an i2p eepsite. Check out the circles, and if you see something you like, feel free to visit over the two days of the event.

Join Onionket, and together we can say NO to censorship

    I can see your point + I know nothing about this OnionKet thing. Generally, though, afaik, Dōjinshi is not a kid porn, abusing real-life, existing children. Those stories are typically based on manga/anime, where characters are totally fictional, unrelated to real-life children at all (thus no real victims, except ethical questions are still possible). In some countries, drawings of non-existing (fictional) persons may be still illegal. In some other countries, they’re legal (as in Finland, maybe). That’s what I think, though not too sure and I’m not a dōjinshi writer/reader at all. Honestly, not sure how “bad” they are.

    But generally, it’s a nice thing that creators try something new, something experimental, fighting back against excessive, censorship (not to say, it’ll be absolutely good, though).

    ＠onionket_staff@mitra.anon-kenkai.com よく分からないけど、うまくいくといいですね＾＾ 弾圧の口実を与えないように、あまりにアレなのは排除した方がいいかもみたいな気もするけど。。。とりあえずグッドラック♪

      Oh I’m aware that it’s victimless, entirely fictional and so not morally wrong. But it does tell me something about the individuals who partake and so I am free to make my own judgments about people. I think, if I took bets that the individuals who enjoy it also would (or do) enjoy children sexually I’d probably come out ahead financially. I don’t like those kinds of people.

      Besides, I still fail to see how it’s relevant to discussion about Monero.

        True. It’s not much related to Monero. OP only says, “Many artists also have support links and wallet addresses for Monero” i.e. “accepting donations in Monero” which is nothing notable. (Many devs accept donations in XMR.) If they like Monero, that is good (though nothing more)…

        Making such bets on people you know nothing else about shows how much of a shallow judgmental person you are

          OK well you enjoy stumbling through life with no heuristics, I’m gonna make sure my kids don’t get fucked. If I misjudge a few people along the way, what does my opinion matter to them anyway.

            “If I offend other people by implying that they wanna molest children even though I know nothing about their lives, personalities or socio-economic backgrounds them so be it! What does my opinion matter to them?”

            Yeah, great use of using one single variable in your heuristics there. I’m sure that’s how scientists conduct their research

              I don’t give a fuck if I offend someone. And you don’t either, these drawings offend plenty of people, I don’t see you changing your tune about them. Nobody should ever give a fuck if they offend someone.

              Look man, if youre going to tell me that my heuristic is coming out of left field you’re delusional or disingenuous or both. I do know something about their lives, I know that they enjoy drawings of children getting fucked. I don’t think it’s a stretch to conclude that the percentage of child molesters in that set of people is probably higher than ambient.

                It is a stretch. Researchers can’t even find a conclusive link between watching actual child porn and actually molesting children (emphasis on ‘actual’, not even ‘fictional’).

                And you’re here telling me that you are more intelligent than them in deciding whether such a link exists or not.

                You either have done no research when basing your ‘heuristics’ on, or you are deliberately ignoring it and just trying to call people that commit a victimless crime “child molesters” because of your “heuristics”.

                Man, I sure wish the police would also use shoddily designed heuristics to decide when to arrest a person

                  Lol man you’ve got to be joking. If “”“researchers”“” can’t find a link between CP and child molesters then yeah I am more intelligent than them. Who are these researchers BTW?

                  Alright look, I don’t think drawings should be illegal. I don’t even think promoting this onionkon thing should be banned off this server, my whole point was that it’s irrelevant in !monero. Go, enjoy your drawings. Jack off to them if you want, I don’t care. I’m just not inviting you over for dinner, as is my right. Also, I’m going to continue to assume that you’re a child molester, which is also my right.
