Today's Policy Change
2 years ago
General
I am very much ambivalent towards the policy changes announced today.
I can understand why closing the loophole on "1000-year-old loli" was a move to cover FA against charges of abiding underage fetishization.
However, I think this new move has not been thought out enough.
If the art is definitely signalling and fetishizing the underage part, that's fair game for deletion - I don't think many people would have issue with that.
However, applying these changes to pieces containing Pokemon, Digimon, &c, unless it's beyond a shadow of a doubt of ill intent, then it's all down to how the admins are feeling when trying to objectively review a subjective piece of art.
I think that the spirit of the policy is headed in the right place, but I feel that the underlying trust in admin staff to show discretion, understanding and leniency is lacking - and therefore a number of artists are extremely worried, because there is no knowing whether their art passes some unknown arbitrary threshold. I worry for artists that make a fair part of their living through here, now considering whether they will need to move if they are suddenly told they're in violation despite being innocent.
Right spirit, but the trust isn't there u_u
