My thoughts on the new policy [LONG]

Oh boy, time to attempt some social interaction!
As is news to no-one at this point, stuff has gone down today regarding pokemon and digimon in art, and considering over 95% of my gallery is pokemon, this could likely end up affecting me in some way. So here's what I have to say about this whole thing.
To put it simply, I don't care enough. It's blunt, but it's true.
The only reason I'm here making art at all is because I find it a fun activity to do in my spare time. Not for fame, money, or attention. FA is merely the place where I decided to post my drawings. As a result, I don't value the stuff I do that highly at all. Because of that, it won't bother me as much if some of my pictures get reported, or worse, I get banned. Also, even if I wanted to try and clean up my gallery, that's gonna be an impossible task to do with the vague wording. I mean, small pokemon while childlike proportions? What if someone decides Meltan counts under that description? I'm literally screwed. (pun not intended)
So I'm not going to change anything. I'm keeping all my art up, and will continue to upload whatever I feel like making. I will try my best to keep all my art on here for people to see, but if the worst comes to worst and I somehow get banned, I may upload them onto Twitter just so they are somewhere. My handle there is @ Lattan380808. I don't post there now, but it's there if I need it. I doubt I'll migrate to another site completely.
Truthfully, I have hope that this is all kinda drastic, and maybe in a week or 2 weeks time, there will be a revision that relaxes this ruling or at least clarifies it more. But we shall have to wait and see, and hope for the best.
Good luck to you all, especially to the other artists on here.
