RE: Policy Changes
2 years ago
THOOM!!...THOOM!!...THOOOM!!! I'm not sure if this impending update (barring any reversal on the mods' part) will impact my page(s) much at all given the way that I draw my characters, but I did want to make it clear that I think they are taking the absolute worst possible path with all this. Freezing out a massive portion of artists because of their art styles and the fact that they like drawing their pokemon characters on model is incredibly reckless and self-serving to say the least.
THESE CHANGES HELP NO ONE, THEY ONLY HARM.
I can only hope that the mods will see the extremely negative feedback to their poor decision-making, swallow their pride and nip this thing in the bud; just walk it back and don't implement the policy update at all. It's poorly explained, they're likely going to manage it poorly, and at the end of the day, it will only harm people who have been contributing to this wonderfully weird community for years who've had no intention of depicting minors in NSFW situations. They claim this whole thing is to curb underage art, but let's be honest: this will help no one. Period. Full stop.
And that's it...just wanted to make my stance clear. It's going to be sad how many well-meaning people will get caught in the crossfire of this nonsense unless they roll it all back. This pillar of furry art websites is cracking more and more.

If you're interested, other sites you can use include Inkbunny (https://inkbunny.net/) , SoFurry (https://www.sofurry.com/) and Weasyl (https://www.weasyl.com/).
Postybirb ( https://www.postybirb.com/ ) can make it easier to upload art multiple places. Hopefully everyone can move their art so it doesn't get lost.
I think the subjectivity of the matter is the greatest issue because the idea of applying rules of “human proportions” to literal Pokemon and Digimon is the very definition of subjective. Such subjectivity could be well applied to how they police the matter, striking some images and accounts but not others.
But yes, pointing out potential issues that could result from something like this is “whining” and no criticism should ever be applied to a website that you use. :|
go to: "1. What does the rule say?"
its there in the second paragraph under that.
also for the vore thing: go to the "TL;DR" section right under the frequently asked questions part and read the last line there just before it gets to "1. What does the rule say?"
it reads: "- Minors involved in SFW or non-sexualized interests, such as vore and transformation, are allowed."
