. I said this back in January,
the change is too vague.
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10552819
This update is purposefully made to impact people in an extremely negative way.
It's hard to describe how without going into extreme detail, and here I'm preaching to the choir anyway.
All I know is making rules and definitions purposefully vague is just wrong. It shouldn't be done.
ESPECIALLY when what is considered "sexual" or "fetish" is not defined and has historically been allowed to be made up on the spot by whoever happens to be on staff for a report.
The fact that a character doesn't just have to have an age, they have to look a specific way in order to be sexualized really says a lot about who is making the rule.
They say they don't have a blanket ban on any specific species, but what do they have to say about species like the Lalafell? Or even species like Twilight Imps?
It's very clear, the choice to long since close comments on these updates, close the forums, and not actually support veterans of the community in the Discord really says alot about what is happening here.
If they did, they would be being told the phrase "These changes were well-received," is a blatant lie.
Someone seriously needs to do something about this.
People seriously need to get into that Discord and start talking.
We can't keep allowing hostile policy changes like this to keep being put into production.
I don't even make adult content anymore.
I just make vore. Which was specifically attacked back in January. But very quickly, had to be defined that at it's base level, isn't adult unless you make it adult.
With the perpetuation of these increasingly vague rules and the disgusting habit of allowing rules to be defined differently for every situation, they are creating an extremely hostile environment that IS and WILL be used to attack people they don't like, and ignore and give special treatment to those who do.
We can't keep letting this happen.
Get into the Discord and start talking.
Or else this slippery slope they're creating becomes a 90° angle.
EDIT:
They banned discussion of the topic on the Discord
Then told people to discuss it in a specific channel,
the proceeded to lock the channel less than an hour ago.
EDIT:
They're definitely actively shutting anyone up who discusses the rule and are actively encouraging the harassment of anyone who brings it up.
They decided to time me out for an hour, even after I stopped talking about it, simply for responding to someone who asked about the ages allowed on the site, and mentioning that the rule used to be that anyone underage was banned until they turned 18.
Really says a lot about who's running things around here and what they stand for.
EDIT:
I found a comment that stated they were banning discussion of the topic. because the topic is inherently 18+ and the Discord is supposed to be all ages.
They have literal children discussing this shit instead, while banning adults who come into the ONLY fucking place that is available for discussion...
BECAUSE THEY LOCKED COMMENTS ON THE UPDATE ITSELF.
I'm mad.
I'm really mad.
The fact that people like this exist, let alone the situation itself
i'm mad.
I'd like to mention, the mod staff isn't anonymous anymore.
The toxic people running the Discord are the same people answering, and half-assing all of your reports.
If you want to know their names, just take a look. They're all there actively mocking and banning anyone looking to seek any real discussion of the chaos they're causing.
I learned the owner of the site had content that would not have passed under the rule change,
and people attacked them for it, leading to them removing the posts.
If anything, it was even more of a sign that the rule needs to be changed.
the change is too vague.

The only reason I'm not in their shitass server is because Discord is my only connection to some of my best friends and I don't feel like losing it to some random troll attack or something.
I would, but I'm told that discussing the new update is not allowed, so I'd just be banned from there if I did.
These are the people that think "Art is subjective" means "I get to make up whatever I want about the picture"
when "subjective" literally means "the subject as it is presented".
Even museums have plaques next to their installations with artists intent so people don't try to come up with their own interpretation of what is presented to them.
This literally has nothing to do with sex, since 99% of the people on FA straight up know better.
Anyone who actually cares all literally moved to Inkbunny, so I don't know who these new people think they're attacking with these changes.
I told people about what I saw, and it's only gotten worse.
To have literal children calling the shots for how a website, made by adults, for adults is freaking insane.
They tried to make an excuse of closing down discussion of the topic, because the rule change is 18+ and the Discord is supposed to be "all ages", and were actively getting after anyone who mentioned the site was made by adults for adults,
I was even muted for an hour for mentioning that FA used to be 17+ only, and banned minors on sight until they were 18.
TOS: Rule 3, 3.1
3. Account Registration and Usage
3.1By registering an account, you agree that you are at least thirteen (13) years of age in the US or are sixteen (16) if you are a resident of the EU. No individual under the age of thirteen (13) may register an account, use our services, provide any personal information to Fur Affinity, or otherwise upload or transmit personal information through our services (Name, address, telephone number, email address, etc).
Seriously, why would you NOT make this site 18+? That makes no sense, minors don't need to be here, and having them on this site is dangerous for them, and puts people at legal risk. Not every site needs to be "all ages", and FA doesn't need to be a place for teens to get into the furry fandom, there are SFW avenues for sharing and viewing SFW furry art.
but then the mods started banning people for it.
They're still allowing it.
Yes, underage/minor stuff isn’t okay nowhere, and they did add additional info to the ruling, but this really feels like someone is bias and doesn’t care as long as they dont see it. insert “No Fun Allowed” sign here.
