Could it get worse? Yes!

Certifiable Mad Scientist: I have a Death Ray, and I know how to Use It.
Wooboy. We got a list!

Proportions that automatically fail the adult test if on model for pokemon/ digimon include, but are not limited to:
* Pichu
* Mime Jr.
* Riolu
* Smoochum
* Cubchoo
* Cubone
* Torchic
* Ralts
* Eevee
* Gothita
* Agumon
* Impmon
* Gatomon
* Veemon
How are they aged? Remember when I said the whole head-to-body ratio thing was kind of stupid for measuring cartoons, since Elmer Fudd fails the proportion test? Hold on to your hat...
"Generally speaking, as characters age, their proportions change. For humanoid characters, we compare to the proportions of humans and for feral animals we look to their earth counterparts or similar for fictional species."
Well, Elmer Fudd should feel young as a school child now because that's what these rules say he is, without being aged up to 'proper' human proportions. And we can kiss poor Judy Hopps goodbye, even though the official Twitter account said that they were okay. Alas, since they can fail the proportion test someone is going to get banned for it at some point. Whew, glad I just got saved from all those old Looney Toons cartoons, wouldn't want that filth anywhere on the internet where a payment processor could see it, let alone Disney films of adult animals living together in the middle of a crack cocaine entrapment operation!
It gets better...
This rule is so sweeping and hard to enforce, that they will not be doing any checking on their own, and are instead going to ask everyone to submit anything that they are concerned 'might' be an issue so that they can summarily be banned if the mod that answers the ticket is in a bad mood that day. Also you can report other artists that you think may be in violation to get them banned if the mod iether likes you or is in a bad mood, given that the rules still aren't very specific for 'human proportion'.
What does this actually mean? Well, it means that the rule is going to be selectively enforced at best, and at worst, is going to enable puritan style witch hunts like we're back in Massachusetts during the pilgrim era, oh boy! You didn't need the internet to have a good time back then! So, exactly what I was talking about in my last journal that is going to be a community breaking event.
Now, FA has inertia - it has a LOT of inertia, but so did ConFurence as one of the original Furry Conventions. And while I'm going to age myself greatly, I remember being there as that convention peaked, then fizzled out rather quickly when the Burned Furs (yes, those Burned Furs) got a hold of it, ending in a whimper of its former self.
