FA's new rules

*sigh* okay, it seems I need to make a statement about the new FA rules.
For the unaware, Fur Affinity updated their policy yesterday, and will apparently now consider characters with "childlike" or "adolescent" proportions in "NSFW" situations or being "fetishized", to be in violation of policy. The change is targeted specifically at pre-evolved pokémon that aren't "aged up" (in other words, my Pichu should be "fine")
This has caused a lot of uproar in the Twitter community. The problem is this wording is considered quite vague.
In my case, although I consider my work PG-13 at worst, I have been called out for being "NSFW" or "fetishy" (and at least one of my followers still seems to think so) so I'm not immune to being affected. I do acknowledge I have trouble, for instance, portraying Susan at the right age (cf. my Christmas comic where she's canonically 16 or the Size Drive comic where she's canonically 20 -- I'm sure there's people who would argue she looks younger). That doesn't mean I endorse children doing what she does at "younger", it just means I suck at drawing that and am still learning how to.
FA is where I started and where I've met most of the people I now consider friends. As someone with severe depression, losing my account would be devastating to me.
So let me be clear:
• I have no intention to stop doing what I do or change my terms of service. (I know that isn't saying much when I haven't posted them in full yet, but I do have boundaries, and they should be apparent by now.)
• I don't draw explicit content. I have no intention of drawing explicit content in the future.
• I don't draw children doing "adult" things. If anything I've done looks like that to you, please tell me (and seek therapy).
• I put the canonicity of the characters first. If the source material says they're adults, they're adults.
