due to continued removal of my images by FurAffinity
11 years ago
General
This Web site's administration keeps removing images from this account due to their lack of artistic merit and poor quality. By uploading content that does not meet the high artistic standards of this site I have been violating the rules.*
Some images were re-uploaded after being removed. They were then allowed to remain when others were taken down. (This shows the arbitrary nature of the censoring process.) Based on what was allowed to remain and what wasn't, I suspect that what was problematic was subject matter that was vaguely anatomical but indeterminate due to a soft focus. This is speculation though. If this is the case, there is still the question of why such images are considered to lack quality. At this time I have removed all but one of the images that were not removed for me. The remaining image is actually the simplest, and the one I'd have most expected to be removed. (I almost didn't use it for this project because I felt there was almost not enough content.)
This was a fun project for me, and it was nice to receive such complementary responses. Humor played a big role and it was very satisfying to see people appreciate it. The language used wasn't as accidental as it might have seemed. It was labored over and there was dense poetic content for anyone who might have noticed. The images were all photographs I took with my phone. A good deal of effort was put into their construction. I'm an artist by profession and I will likely use them again in a fine arts context. (...gallery, museum, etc., space or online.)
As with much of my non-furry art, this was a secret project. The work (images, language, submission categories, etc., working together) was Website specific. I'm not into working on something that will be destroyed though, so I won't continue. Eventually I may use this account for some experimental animal dance music I've planned. Meanwhile, if you would like to see some other photographs I've taken, feel free to check out my regular account
jackpot. They aren't as fun or interesting as what I posted here but whatever. (I did have one image removed there too. It was a photograph of a cow udder that I thought might make a good reference image for someone. It clearly showed the structure, veins, etc., The pic was removed because images of isolated anatomical features are are against the AUP, if I remember correctly.)
* Here's text from the note associated with the removal of one of my images:

Very well executed. Shame on FA for not getting it and sabotageing it.
Glad it was you, Jackpot. You're so cool. <3
