It would be cool to prevent pedophilia if pedophilia was nearly as big a problem as people keep acting like. Most of the accusations come from people HOPING There's a case of pedophilia because it's such a strong targeting word that they feel will get everyone to agree with them about how terrible the person is. But you know why it's always false? Not ONE of those accusations ever consider the children actually invovled and in a lot of cases, the accusers are the ones actively HARASSING children (look at all the MINORS DNI/GTFO posters. that's active bullying). When enough of that happens, it really does make it look like the furry community has a MASSIVE child abuse problem and thus why rules like this are popping up. Paranoia induced by self destruction.

That's why people in the furry fandom really need to STOP with the accusation foolishness and stop actually harassing children to "protect their galleries". THAT is the only reason we have a reputation for pedophilia problems. Cause these accusers keep actively bringing children to their pages just to bully them away from furry communities entirely.

This was not nearly an issue years ago. I think it has a lot to do with the 'Groomer accusations" against the LGBTQ+ communities and the fact that many prominent furs are part of that, so it kind of is a self defense mechanism that goes hand in hand. It's just grown ups acting like kindergarteners.....

Your right, I just really hate pedophiles and NSFW content because they’re both bad as each other, I do know of a few pedophiles like Cameron Longree (CCG88), Riley (the person who ran club penguin online), Squimpus McGrimpus (the creator of the FNAF VHS series), etc oh yea let’s not forget Dan Schneider and Alexnewtron the owner of meepcity, glad I’m not one of those guys. 😮‍💨

Really often the guilt comes with association. I mean it's really not hard to just not associate at all, but with everything being thrown around online as if the whole thing is a joke and the fact that a lot of furry porn tends to be drawn in spaces that allow minors, it's a lot like drawing porn in a middle school and telling the kids they have to leave instead of just...not posting porn in areas where children may be. That's why there's so much pedophilia among these sites and furry communities. If FA really wants to restrict that, they should require all members to be over 18 or make an adult only variant of the site and ban anyone who mentions minors or pedophilia (even accusationary) because that's usually the sign that something is going on.

Hehe and honestly, I'm not keeping a mental list of everyone who has interacted with underage people cause frankly, EVERYONE on this site and twitter has. Like I said, my question is why are these "Adult only" sections having such a strong problem with interacting with minors if this is meant to be for adults only? I think most people on this site are closet pedophiles cause they never shut up about it almost as if again...they WANT people to be pedophiles. That's kind of worse...

Absolutely! You’re right on this one mate.
