Policy update Musing #2
2 years ago
General
Just wanting to give a bit more musing about the upcoming policy update, and there's a few things that I need to get off my chest.
First off, the "additional clarification" the staff gave:
"NO, there is no blanket ban across species."
> Then why are certain staff members referring to Mew as an embryo? True, I'm possibly missing context there, but still.
"NO, there is no list of species that we will always take action on."
> Yeah, right. More like a list of species that if someone post art of which is marked mature or adult, you'd focus on them quickly.
"YES, characters in your NSFW art must be aged up."
> And how can you age up a Riolu without making them look more like a Lucario?
"NO, simply making something bigger or smaller does not indicate age.*
> True, size doesn't matter. I know someone in real life who has dwarfism, and just because he would only come up to maybe my waist, I know he's old enough. So I do agree somewhat with this.
"We look at anatomy proportionally alongside other context in submissions."
> And yet you also ignore any context the description gives from what I heard.
Second, my worries had led to me making a gallery segment for all the art I feel may be at risk. I may not had caught them all, but the main ones I have put in said segment, and I am hoping for clarification as to which ones are fine and which aren't.
Thirdly, I decided to dust off my unused SoFurry account and preparing it for use as a new place to post artwork, just in case.
Finally, I will admit this has been a bit of a mood killer for me. And the fact they only decided to make the guide after they mentioned about the policy changes is... Well, I would had preferred it before. At least we have a month to sort things out.
