Yeah, it's one of these journals.

None of the art I've made has ever featured or will ever feature underage characters. As a CSA survivor myself, the thought of such content disgusts me and I don't want to have anything to do with it. Thanks to the way the new policy is worded, I've been worrying a tonne about how some of my content, due to featuring shortstack adult characters, especially my Riolu OC, will be targeted by reports.
It does not matter whether I think my characters are adults. Instead, I have to scrutinise every art piece I make based on "will someone in bad faith interpret my art as too childlike in proportions". This hits me doubly so as someone who has been getting more active in the ABDL community. I have made friends here who have led me to be more comfortable bringing out my little side. But now, what I like to do as an adult, among other adults, something I do to comfort myself, can be misconstrued as something it's not. This is intensely unfair.
Having seen screenshots and stories from other people showing that their art, according to the mods, is considered breaking the rules, does nothing to assuage my fears of how far-reaching the policy will be. Seeing art of on-model yoshis, on-model koopas, and on-model digimon be marked as "breaking the policy" means the future of a decent chunk of my art is not assured. Again, I've never even considered anything I draw to be underage, I do not want to draw that because it makes me deeply uncomfortable.
I will still do what I can to stay around FA. I like this website, the art and people I have found here. I will be very sad to see it go but I will sink with the ship if I have to.

There’s no checks and balances. There’s no appeal system. There’s nothing that’s stopping a mod from abusing the system like crazy.
It’s one of the many reasons I hate posting on e621. The mods just have the capability to remove anything they don’t like. But in this case they’ll also just call you a pedo and ban you.
My art is mostly gonna be unaffected but it really sucks because I’ve been dabbling with a more cutesy cartoony style and now I don’t feel like I have the freedom to explore artistically.
