New rules, how stupid can some people be
2 years ago
So, just seen the recent rules updates, and the changes that have been added to try and calm people down, yet it just keeps getting worse.

Pertaining to point 5 exclusively
5. What Pokémon and Digimon cannot be in sexual content without being aged up?
While we cannot present an exhaustive list of thousands of characters, common canonical inclusions would be “baby Pokémon” such as Pichu, Mime Jr., Riolu, and Smoochum, other Pokémon such as Cubchoo, Cubone, Torchic, Ralts, Eevee, and Gothita, and Digmon such as Agumon, Impmon, Gatomon, and Veemon as these characters have childlike proportions or look like adolescent humans or animals.
This just shows you how ass backwards and out of touch of the media these admins are being, and if took a moment of effort to understand the context that is applied to them within the very media they come from and applying just body types as a way to regulate an issue ends up causing a greater issue in its own right.
Taking Pokémon as an example to start with, with some being classed as "Baby", in the case of Riolu, Pichu, Smoochum, etc, or the starter form of an evolution line, Torchic, Ralts, etc. it completely ignores the fact that in the show and games themselves, that these Pokémon can be much older than they appear, due to the fact that if they exist in the wild, they have less chances of evolving into what would be considered their older body forms, compared to trained Pokémon. As an example, you could have the situation, as shown in the show, that a Treecko is much older than the Trainer's own Treecko (going by it behaviour and style choices made to show it as older), when said Trainers' Treecko would then go on to evolve into the later stages of their line, but in the matter of a few months, making it still younger than the old Treecko, yet now classed as older due to its body type.
Moving to Digimon, this ends up getting even weirder, as you have the situation that Gatomon/Tailmon is now being classed as having an underage body type, even though in her evolutionary line she is a stage above the oh so beloved Renamon, which would in theory have to be younger that Gatomon/Tailmon given that in the show it is shown that it takes higher levels of experience to Digivolve and maintain a higher form of evolution without the need of a partner to do so (going by what I understand from what was shown in Adventure 01, Adventure 02 and Tamers)
I'm at a loss with all this at this moment, and have no faith that the Admins or others will apply these new rules in a fair and controlled manner that won't mean people will get hit for something that hasn't been an issue in the past, and shouldn't be an issue if anyone took half a second to understand anything about the character being displayed.

i opened a trouble ticket asking how they see a piece that has come-and-gone in my gallery several times depicting a character they might visualize as being under age, though with evidence to show that he is, in fact, depicted at an age passed that of 18 years old. if they say yes, then I will remove it and leave the site because they were presented clarifying evidence and chose to overlook it.but to be fair... i was on SoFurry back when it was YiffStar, long before I joined FA, and I'll leave and never return if they want to make a jackass out of themselves.
It is up to them whether to be biased, and sink this ship, or to be wise and not be blinded by their own opinions or by their power or by their "wisdom".
