More than that, it was a test of how much freedom FA lets artists have.
What crap is this? Apparently the admins and mods of FurAffinity don't respect artistic freedom when it comes to satire. Sure, pictures of tri-donged cub furries having sex while shitting is allowed, but not an artistic response to an issue? This is censorship plain and simple. Moreover, if you look at http://www.wikiffinity.net/index.ph.....ur_Affinity%3F you can see that the FA description is this: Fur Affinity is an online Anthropomorphic-themed Art Community intended to give people in the Furry Community the opportunity to share their creative talents with a degree of freedom of expression presently unavailable from any other Service of this type.
Freedom of expression? Satire and making edgy points about issues is one of the BEDROCKS of freedom of expression. To try to delete an image because of "harassment" is absurd, to think that harassment can be done with pencil, ink, and paint. This is precisely why furry art is laughed at and not taken seriously; many admins in the furry community censor absolutely any criticism that is required to any healthy artistic and literary movement.
The mods often state that this is a "free haven" from meanies, which means specifically that they cater to crybabies who regularly do STUPID shit to get made fun of.
So yeah. removed.. ..even though your post never pointed at him.. stated a name, and was stand alone cute as a button. I enjoy particularly how his "Furfags" comment was allowed to stay for the longest time though.
Dear Admins, we need new god damned mods. Make it so.
I must be stupid as hell or just plain ignorant of the context because I don't get how that is harassment. It is cute though. Someone gave you a nipple but I gives you Boobies.
What the bloody hell? Kami can't enjoy her image-within-an-image sandwich, even when the dragon pictured in the picture of a picture wants to be eaten? Damn those treasonable, treasonous images. Damn them to heck!
Exactly who was this suppose to harass. I don't remember any particular person, or group, indicated. Just that the pic was cute as hell and i loved it.
The image was a cute "punked" play, but no names were mentioned and only if you actually dug into the drama could you even find out what the hell it was about.
That is hardly harassment since the only person being "harassed' is the one who was thinking it was about them.
Can you actually declare a person's existence to be a harassment?
If so, and this seems to be the case, I got a long list of people I find offensive and want to see removed from here. LOL!
Wow, this is the second journal (Synx) I've woken up to where someone got an image deleted for "harassment" even though it wasn't. Who pissed in what mod's cheerios?
*gasp* THIS JOURNAL OFFENDS ME EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T SPECIFY ME BY NAME I STILL KNOW THAT ITS ABOUT ME AND I DEMAND IT BE TAKEN DOWWWWNNNNN *BUTTHURTBUTTHURTBUTTHURT*
That's a rather interesting rumor. Far as I know there isn't anyone on the staff with those issues, though they have been known to follow and enforce the rules of the site.
Maybe there should be an offical thread made on the forums to explain what's going on and so misinformed people like myself (happens to me alot :-P ) can have a place to get the facts.
This is why I feel people should be subjected to Clockwork-Orange like screenings of all the content that's on and ever has been on 4chan, especially /b, for one month straight, before being allowed to run the free reigns of the rest of the internet.
SO THEY CAN NEVER EVER BE OFFENDED AGAIN
*offensive immunization*! D:
Personally, I miss the days when all this could be settled in ten minutes by the jungle gym after school. But that's just me. Oh wait :C we're adults now, we can't point and laugh at each other anymore. B[ <--serious face for serious situations.
Dogman posted a picture of Hida (a dragon) getting vored. People were A-Ok.
Enter Dragon103.
He complains about the art piece, arguing that dragons are supposedly untouchable and should not be harmed in any form of method, because HE says so, almost demanding Dogman and Dogman's original art removed, even though it has ZERO relation to Dragon103 in the first place.
So, naturally, everyone laughed at Dragon103 because of his "Dragons > You all" opinion, and the laughing spread to Lulz. Time passes, and a few other artists make fun, yet cute art of the supposed dragon voring, KamiCheetah for one. (Kami's even being a dragon SCRIBBLE on a piece of paper, very sandwich enjoyable*)
Dragon103 calls Fursecution and Damaratus listens, removing all post-drama content made of the kind - Even a picture by a third artist that had zero relation to any of the drama. Dragon103 gets flamed because a LOT of people actually liked said art, and leaves claiming fursecution.
Why haven't any of the admins commented on this outrageous faux pas apart from Damaratus? They should realize that not shedding light on this doesn't make them look cool.
as for me, i'm just too lazy to maintain more than like, two galleries. i already used VCL as my "main gallery," i.e. everything gets dumped there 'cept fan art.
IT WAS A DAK AND EVIL PICTURE!!! Filled with unwholesome thoughts spawned from a sick depraved mind (thats you of course). I was sickened and I, with must haste, went to those noble (and just) mods and said NAY!!
Harassment to what, really? I can't believe the mods actually thought that was harassment, but I don't see anything that has to do with it.
Recently one of the mods took down a massive string of journals regarding the issue of what Bucky Bunny did to Quentin Coyote. I tried to explain that it was the truth (which it is, BTW), but they refused to believe it and took it down anyway.
It's not about that, it's about ensuring that Dragoneer knows a mod is deleting submissions unfairly. There's no reason it should've been deleted. You really should talk with him about it. He in fact posted in Synx's journal telling Synx to do the same (guess he hasn't seen yours, else he would've done it too).
wow, i guess things have been slow for them. sooo...... if they have time to complain about tame doodles, wheres that search engine they keep promising about? and i give this journal entry about..... 21.5 more replies until its deleted. :)
You've got to be fucking joking. That pic was hilarious, and hardly harassment or any other form of feasible violation of the ToS or of common sense. Deleting that picture proves only one thing; that the mods really are senseless fuckwads and that insanity reigns here as much as anywhere else on the internet. We allow cub pornography (a thinly veiled form of child pornography) and yet your simple, funny picture is tossed aside? This is absurd.
0_o wha? who the hell would be offended by it, and a mod delets its and gives no reson WHY it offended this whiny little dumbass. i don't get it, its bad that they deleted a funny and cute pic that was inosent (forgive my spelling) but its bad enough they don't say why it was sides saying it was harassing someone, but WHO?! who was it bothering? why did he or she take offencs for this pic?! >_< man i can't staind people like that
It seems that once per week an issue in FA happens and as always i got no clue of what it is all about. Where can i read what happened here? Moderator deleting dragonp pics?
I can't help but find this hilarious, lol. Your picture was adorable, I just don't get how it's offensive at all lmao.
Also I was wondering what started all of this stuff. Someone said it was your fault (or rather something about you, I wasn't really paying attention) and thus I am here lurking! D: You're a naughty person for that evil drawing.
I'd say you deserve a spanking but I don't want to get b&ed for harassment. :(
Wow... I know in the long run you don't think this is a big deal.
But, all I can keep thinking to myself is that I've heard this premise on a "King Of The Hill" episode before. I swear to God. o_o
I'm glad you can laugh at this. I'm sure if I were in your position, I could too, just to diffuse things a bit. Still, my wife would have a hard time shutting me up about it offline. o_o
It's clearly the best ploy to get fanart ever. If i piss a bunch of people off I can only dream that i'd get such awesome arts drawn, would be totally worth the flaming. So er....what er....pisses you off :D?
Honestly, I can see where someone looking for harassment grounds could have found it, but I agree with Amino. So many people put so many things on this site that anyone who wanted to find a reason to be offended can find it here, and that's what I love about this place. It's a place of freedom and expression. It's a place of learning for some and teaching for others. This place has been a favorite of mine since I found out of its existence and I've been in absolute wonder at the varying kinds of art and the fact that even if it doesn't fit the "norm" of art (like the three donged furcubs having sex while shitting mentioned at the top of this list) it's still embraced with open arms. I thought this place was seriously as close to anti-art-idiot proof as it got.
The deletion of this pic simply goes to prove that nothing can be idiot proof. If someone invents something idiot-proof, the world will invent a better idiot.
To people who do not understand why the pic was offensive, it was only offensive in context. The offended party (Dragon103, who totally set himself up for flaming) was harassed by others in the form of a spamming of links to pics that were either directly or indirectly related to the original pic that sparked his rage. The origin of this soap opera drama is here:http://www.furaffinity.net/view/874629/

Ahh i clicked it again! im doubly offended! :O
There are some days when i ALMOST wish i knew what was going on. Then again ignorance is indeed quite blissful.
Reupload it. :p ANARCHY ON FA YAY
And then I go right in tha middal. :v
I still don't understand this. *skritches head*
So yeah. removed.. ..even though your post never pointed at him.. stated a name, and was stand alone cute as a button. I enjoy particularly how his "Furfags" comment was allowed to stay for the longest time though.
Dear Admins, we need new god damned mods. Make it so.
Huzzah for the reupload. *saves this time due to the cute*
and i cant believe someone took down your drawing, it was ubber cute and it wasnt harrasment.
That is hardly harassment since the only person being "harassed' is the one who was thinking it was about them.
Can you actually declare a person's existence to be a harassment?
If so, and this seems to be the case, I got a long list of people I find offensive and want to see removed from here. LOL!
WHAT THE FUCK
That image was cute as hell. D:
Eatings the papers?
offensive and harrassment?
I'm not sure how, but I was confused by the title and comment you gave it when you put it up on FA.
Is that what we're talkin about here?
It was cute though
Even being a Dragon myself, I find that pretty unfair, and I'm confident that if/when it gets brought up to the other Admins, it'll be dealt with.
D.O.P.R
D.O.P.R
D.O.P.R
I might be wrong, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
D.O.P.R
GOOD JOB *thumbs up*
~N~
hohoho see what I did there?
*only on the interwebs... and when I stomp around the house going 'rawr ima dragon'
My character is a dragon, but I don't see what the big deal is. o.o
SO THEY CAN NEVER EVER BE OFFENDED AGAIN
*offensive immunization*! D:
Mmmmmhm.

There's your explanation for you. :)
Why haven't any of the admins commented on this outrageous faux pas apart from Damaratus? They should realize that not shedding light on this doesn't make them look cool.
The allegedly offended people are the real bullies here. . .
anyhoot we need more room for cub porn.
Recently one of the mods took down a massive string of journals regarding the issue of what Bucky Bunny did to Quentin Coyote. I tried to explain that it was the truth (which it is, BTW), but they refused to believe it and took it down anyway.
I'm really steamed at the mods at the moment.
I reposted it on DA already for anyone that wanted to see/save it if they missed it the first time.
I'm only just starting to figure out what's going on here but as far as art goes, whether it be hate-filled or not, this is pretty benign.
i've been more offended by nuns and rainbows D:
we need more common sense!
Also I was wondering what started all of this stuff. Someone said it was your fault (or rather something about you, I wasn't really paying attention) and thus I am here lurking! D: You're a naughty person for that evil drawing.
