FA killed the babyfur community -UPDATED-.
3 years ago
ADDENIUM 1/20/2023
I think i share similar feelings to this person at this point about FA and the babyfur community, and like them I really have no where to go but back to being a chatroom recluse after this. And even then my world will only consist of 6 active rooms and about 120 active people as I don't really go out much else (nor would i be welcome).
It isnt an "exit" but that much isolation because of many factors will make it a "high risk situation" for me. Other than family and a small group of "recluse" locals and family, I dont socialize much outside of my computer. I haven't really found anything beneficial outside of it at this point nor do I fit in with much due to various socioeconomic factors in my life and local disparities in the region I live in.
At some point this will come back to bite me when the police start knocking on my door for too much isolation and run weekly wellness checks (like what happened in 2008) but institutionalization may be inevitable despite its undesirability.
Beyond that I don't really have that much in my gallery to work with though so I don't need to do any cleaning (crosses fingers)s but I can see a lot of people who don't heed this getting very much banned off of this site for not 'sanitizing" properly.

The new rules are so vauge that it has practicly killed any sort of regression or babyfur work to be posted on here. in fact many have given up posting anything with kids whatsoever because of the conservative backlash that the new rules on this site have been put forth.
Babyfurs are being banned en masse from this stie because we occasionally have dirty diapers or we have butt shots and are chibi fied (Im waiting for my ban too with one of my images but will see)
Community heads are refusing to draw characters under 18, clean -- or otherwise for fear of being chased away by flash mobs or banned outright from one of the few places left. Its almost taboo now to have any characters under 18 for fear of ruining the rules. It makes it impossible for people like me to get work done at all without being "invited" by word of mouth or "reputation"
(and my rep score is like -100 but not that I can really afford art as it is)
...Or blocked by larger and larger communities and left alone to become troll food.
People are too afraid to publicly post any babyfur work for fear of being ridiculed or cancelled, or it is all behind paywalls where you can throw out "decency" and anyone who doesnt have at least $200 of disposable income a month to even look at work,
The places left have no moderation at all and will get you arrested and beaten if you are found on them by a Canadian or UK Judge.
There is one place left, and it is controlled by a right winged nut job that I am banned from joining an account on. That place could ban the work too much like FA is and just might in the next few years to satisfy its "advertising needs".
Its been said that babyfurs have never really had a good time of managing their own communities but if we wanna exist outside of a heavily sanitized and "white washed" enviornment that exists only behind paywalls and invite only "darknet" chatroom and private sites....
We need to do something...
(stuff im forbidden from even touching because of "rep" but that is a whole 'nother story)
'liking diapers and drawing anything under 18 is going to become a "high risk activity" resulting in severe correctives and punishments being doled out the authorities.

(especially in Canada and the EU)
Especially with everything being moved "out" of social media and onto the "dark" parts of the internet.
My fav list is now going to become a constantly changing list of hyperlinks to peoples personal sites and I'm going to throw up the 1000 gallery passwords like I did before "Social Media" unified everything. I cant afford the hard drive space to keep 20 years of favorite art. (only to be ridiculed for it by the cops here when they start pouring out pails of USB sticks with art of insert "artist" here who is a pillar)
I just feel bad about "market" conditions for the content producers who have lost their easy to access mass medium. Social media withdrawal it'll make it harder to find "new blood" before burn out and retirement happens.
Eventually our art could disappear completely with the way things are, but such is life.
I just don't like having to live in the "dark web" for socialization for things but it is what It is. No one ever said life would be fair.

Or you havent been noticed yet.
Its hard to say with how FA uses non-public guidelines for specific picture elements and its often up to the moderator who stays and goes
My best advice is to look up his twitter page from his account here as he has about 10 or 12 tweets about it as well as the pics that got him booted on twitter. (Its why I cannot link em directly)
Ive taken the two approaches of myself to nuke all my babyfur work and give up ever getting those kinds of images, wait to see if the ban hits me and then i can disappear too.
Otherwise If anyone has gone to lengths to stay compliant with FA's Content its me...
And there is no warning before a "final offense suspension to so like I said before its going to set up for a lot of bad issues with arguments "on the line" and its closer to a chilling effect for everything rather than a small tweak.
