Gallery Cleanup
2 years ago
Y'all might notice that some stuff is missing from my gallery; don't worry, most all of it was simply moved to scraps!
However, as I was going through, I found a few pieces that were over a decade old that might run afoul of the new rule update, and chose to delete those before they get deleted for me. This was just a period where I didn't exactly have a great grasp of anatomy and proportion, and some drawings could have been construed as being underaged when they were not intended to be so, and it was only a small handful of these old drawings that I've deleted.

FA+

They're apparently making a document for clarification, but no word on exactly it'll be out. The last guess from an admin I heard was sometime today.
I'm seeing my journal feed blow up with outrage and speculation, as if FA's suddenly banning everything...
Just remove offending content if rules change.
If someone is unwilling to do that, why do you still -want- to be on the site that doesn't want your content?
Then you punish for those oversights instead of merely deleting them. You do know FA admins are not exactly popular because of nonsense like that, right? Always making bad decisons and bad takes like the one you just made.
The more descriptive you are, the more room you make for loopholes.
Instead of people appreciating the fact that FA's serious about banning the fetishisation of minors, I'm seeing a whole lot of "Whelp, Imma delete my gallary and I'm leaving FA forever! Censorship! Outrage!"...
We're dealing with a site that contains art, here. Art is subjective. And frankly, when minors are concerned, I'd prefer the platform err on the side of caution.
I mean, you are an ex admin, so, your stance on this is more than expected lol
