[Note: Of course an update arrives right after I spent like 5 hours on this. Take note that this was made prior to a new update from FA, gonna see if I need to change up my message here]

[Extra Note: Read the update, and, while I do appreciate them at least being a little more upfront and acknowledging how badly they presented themselves with this, even apologizing for it...I still do not high hopes or trust with this policy tweak, only now it's rooted in their actual implementation of it, rather than the vagueness of how they're doing so. So, this policy tweak still blows, just now more conclusively out of them trying to make objective that which is subjective in nature. My overall response and take on it still stands.]

Consider this as a reminder that I'm also present and active in other places than here. And probably also something to note for those who've watched my page here as of late. (BTW thanks for y'all who come by and appreciate my work)

- I have a Community Server on Discord, in depth details located here, but to give basic details, it's a Discord server that has served to be the most direct way to get a feed for my artwork, lore, and otherwise content from me, as well as interact and reach me more directly. It is an 18+ exclusive Discord, and though I'm a solo admin/mod there, we vet people for primarily age verifications and community fit before having access.
Again, this is the most active and direct way to reach me and my work as it stands right now.

- I also still have an active Patreon if you want an alternative art feed, albeit one that updates monthly. It's located right here. I post all artwork I've done across the month near the end of the month, provided circumstances don't cause delays. What I post there are all Full Resolution pieces. This also has, albeit non-directly, a connection to my aforementioned Discord, where active subscription to my Patreon makes you eligible for an exclusive role on my Discord that gives you access to exclusive rooms where I'll also post my high resolution works there.
Thus, effectively, subscribing to my Patreon is the exclusive way to get my works in their highest resolutions.

- For what it's worth, I still have a Twitter, though mostly to post finished works to get words out there, lurking about otherwise. I'm starting to limit my time there significantly, however, so it may not be the most ideal place, and that's aside from, well, Twitter being Twitter. You can follow it here.

- I'm signed up on Cohost as well, and though I've been idle there for the most part, I'm working on making an effort to be there more often than not, at least certainly more than Twitter. It'll also be a space where I post my artwork, ideally as I post things normally. You can check it out here!

- I would probably consider making a Telegram Art Channel as well, but I'm not sure I wanna add yet one more service for my mind to manage. It's something that's under personal consideration however, given how often I see such be offered.

TL;DR: FA's new policy update kinda blows actually and I ain't gonna sugarcoat it, it blows hard. Good and reasonable intentions, yes, but very poor execution, and I feel they need to pump the brakes. No I am not leaving FA but I ain't gonna be assed to try to look over my own stuff, in bad and critical faith, to see if any of them may be "suspect" on observation (though I'm likely just fine). Screw that noise. If you wanna make sure contact with me is kept up if the worst occurs, you got what I posted above as spots. Peace.

If you want my take regarding FA's new Policy Tweak, I'll keep things brief. I think that while I can understand and get where they're going and what they're trying to do to an extent, their execution...sucks. Not even leaving a lot to be desired, it just sucks ass in practice. From its haphazard implementations and clarifications and responses that end up contradicting itself or leave more questions than answers, to its judgements placing the onus on the artist themselves to either judge their own works or leave themselves vulnerable to individualistic determinations of their stuff, to its nature of it likely relying on individual, outside interpretations rather than taking artist intent, purpose, and context, and being uncompromising on such (note that they opened up with, essentially, "if you /feel/ your gallery account is at risk, /remove/ anything that /might/ violate this policy by the 1st, or you will face a /ban./" and left seeking responses or consultations to sending a Trouble Ticket to them which is...a decision to make, for certain.) just does not inspire confidence or trust in this being handled well in practice.

If you ask me, FA should just shelve this one. I get what they wanna do but this isn't the approach to take with it. It is doing more harm than good here, and FA has its own problems to handle with itself. Optimizations and updates announced to be oncoming still pending with nothing to show for them for ages, as one thing. I do not have trust or faith in how this policy is going to be implemented considering the nature of what it is it's working with. You can't make judgements that are based on one's art style or trying to place realistic proportions and anatomy to that which does not follow realism by nature. It's lacking and inconsistent at best, and harmful at worst.

That said, do not take this as me deciding to take my leave here. But that also said, I ain't gonna bother with trying to take out any of my stuff here, either, not that I really have anything nor do anything harmful in the first place anyway. I can't be bothered to care about what or how this affects me. Because this ain't about me, it's about the folks and artists that I know who might be at risk here.

If I end up smacked because of bullshit interpretations of my shit, finding harmful intent where there isn't, nor has there ever been, then so be it. I ain't committing to that which I have no trust or confidence in, or feel is being made in good faith. If that happens, well, what you see above is where you can locate me. Otherwise, I'm keeping on my course.

If someone is feeling threatened by this policy and its vague presentations and clarifications, and desires to exit but still wishes to know where they can follow me so they don't lose out as much, what you see above is also where you can reach me.

I ain't gonna pretend that all this ain't a shame, or that it doesn't bring about doubt, confusion, foreboding worry, and frustration. I ain't gonna act like peoples' valid concerns ain't worth having, or discounting such concerns. I'm also not going to lie that this is just another bit of FA screwiness to add to its long, long, long list of screwiness. I ain't posting this to try to do anything about all of that.

This is just me sending to let folks following me know that I'm always around, even if not through here, and I appreciate their presence, and it'd be sad if treasured connections would be left damaged and fractured from this.
