Fa doing the thing again
2 years ago
My luck with Fa is pretty bad, every time I decide I want to get active again, the rules change and make me not want to use it all over. In the upcoming months, FA plans to ban all artworks that depict characters without 'adult' proportions. This really screws with people who have chibi art styles and Pokemon fan artists, since a lot of the time, a character not having 'adult' proportions can be subjective and/or up to the viewer's perspective.
I'm going to have to remove a lot of my older porn pieces specifically, since back then I had a chibi art style, and possibly my recent Pokemon stuff as well. The latter is all on Inkbunny anyway, but I'm not sure I really want to re-upload the older artworks. I'm not so attached to them, but they do include a certain Zelda Wind Waker comic which may probably be affected by the ban. I'll most likely want to post these on Inkbunny or e621.
But seriously, use Mastodon or Weasyl or whatever instead of this site. Find me on Aethy at https://aethy.com/@frustratedsquirrel (I post cub stuff there, so be warned though)

I don't think they stopped, honestly.
Policy has to be actively enforced, and there's troughs of periods where things are not so overtly policed. Then a new call to inquisition is made (like now) and the banhammer factories spin back up to wartime readiness, the deletion-markers mobilized.
I've no doubt this will eventually ebb again like the last few times FA did this. It's just irritating to see them move the goalpost this far now, to star banning what has already been OK'd from previous bans because it clearly was not the subject of wrongdoing but a stylistic difference.
At least they have a community tagging feature and modern blacklist features.
HARDCORE SCAT, OK
VIOLENT RAPE, OK
GORE AND ULTRA VIOLENCE, OK
but a píkachu on rule 34, NO NO NO NO, IMMORAL, INDECENT! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
amazing, double moral standards, i have been here for 10 years, and it never ceases to amaze me how much the admins suck at making rules.
Bruh at that stage it's already adjacent to bestiality, which is morally very similar to anything paedophillic since the ideological issue is rooted in consent or lack thereof. This is a dumb slippery slope they're on, based more on knee-jerk emotional responses than anything of substance. That's what ticks me off. Since FA is the biggest dedicated furry art platform, them taking a stance like this is going to embolden all the fandom hijackers trying to sterilize the general furry fandom to make it into a safe space.
I've learned not to expect people to adhere to any kinds of standards or logical pattern when it comes to this topic.
Looking forward to catching you on another platform!
These fucking idiots.
