Wow this kind of sucks :/
2 years ago
Alright, you probably know what this is about. Let's not beat around the bush because this is ridiculous.
I have three things I want to discuss but a quick TLDR of the points:
.I am making a Discord to preserve my work
.I am going to put in a ticket to see if any work is in violation or not
.What other websites can I start posting stories to?
.I think this is a dumb decision
.Final disclaimer
Ok now then, this is the real meat and potatoes for those points I summarized above. We can go one by one for this.
First and foremost, I am going to create a Discord server for my content. I don't know if this will primarily be an archive or a community that we can talk and whatnot, but regardless of whichever way this policy ends up, its clear that I need to work on preserving my content in some fashion or another, even if Discord does kind of serve as a doo-doo way of keeping a bunch of stories. I'll try and post a link of the server for peeps to join in on in the coming weeks.
Second, I have zero clue if this policy update is something art related or expands to stories as well, surprisingly or unsurprisingly based on your outlook on life, they have failed to clarify this even in their clarifications meaning I do not want to risk my account especially if there is one story from like 2020 or 2019. If I have to delete anything I will make a journal listing everything deleted and make sure I have downloaded those stories/whatever to upload elsewhere.
Third: Other websites, besides DeviantART cause I already post there (somewhat). I have a SoFurry account but they have perhaps the worst story uploading system ever not allowing me to upload PDF files! Besides that, I know of Inkbunny (though I have heard it is not pleasant) and Weasly (I know nothing about it). Please recommend me some spaces where I can try to continue working as a writer if I ever have to leave this website! Though note that I plan to stay on here for as long as I see feasible, I'll only leave this site if things get irredeemable.
Lastly, this is a rather dumb decision or at the very least, a somewhat unwise idea, and a very atrocious execution. I don't mind and honestly agree with the 9000-year-old loli loophole, but this is not the way to go. Especially the Digimon that they listed as examples, I do not know about you guys but I have NEVER seen anything that treats the Digimon at that level like children. Instead, we have to measure everything in proportions and what does that mean for a writer like me? Does that mean I have to go through stories and write in excruciating detail about how these characters aren't minors with their "long legs" and "stocky physique"? And honestly, this feels like instead of fixing an issue its gonna open a gateway to targeted harassment where a user will look for one potential violation to get the artist suspended for a FUCKING WEEK ON THE FIRST OFFENSE AND A PERMANENT BAN A SECOND TIME. People are not going to stay on this site if they have a to leave it up to a coin toss if everything they've worked for goes to waste.
For one final disclaimer, I have this to say. I HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER WRITE OR CREATE ANY CONTENT INVOLVING A MINOR IN AN EXPLICIT NSFW SITUATION. ANY TIME I WRITE A CHARACTER THAT IS CANNONICALLY UNDERAGE I ALWAYS AGE THEM UP IN MULTIPLE WAYS INCLUDING PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. I HAVE HAD A POLICY FOR THE LONGEST TIME DENNYING ANY NSFW CONTENT FEATURING UNDERAGE AND MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE STATED IT MAY WARRANT A BLOCK ON A USER WHO REQUESTS IT FROM ME! THIS HAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE CASE.
