So this whole policy update thing
2 years ago
Oh, right. I'm still alive, by the way, but I think anyone who cares would already know that from Furball.
Yeah anyway it's not new. I think people have just plum forgotten that about four or five years ago now there was a whole spate of artists having their works getting taken down in large numbers and people getting bans because moderators individually decided that THEY THOUGHT, subjectively, that a/the characters in them didn't look adult enough for their liking. A whole heap of Pokemon and Digimon stuff got nuked back then, and artists who drew it. All they've done is explicitly written it into the AUP now.
It's why I didn't bother to keep maintaining my Digimon alt account here on FA. When that whole business happened back then I knew this shit was gonna happen, I just didn't expect it to take this long.
Don't get it twisted - I don't agree with this shit at all, I think it's absurd. I don't think we're far off feral content being banned off here as well at this rate. MLP stuff will be first though, after Pokemon/Digimon, guarantee it. Feral probably after that. Eventually anything above a PG rating will be a no-no, but that'll take a while yet, give it a couple more years.
My advice? Move on to InkBunny. Now I know what some of you are probably thinking - "but IB has cub shit!" - and you're not wrong, but here's a tip; visibility of anything properly tagged as cub (as it's meant to be per the rules of the site) is actually disabled by default when you create a new account last time I checked, and as long as you keep it turned off, you shouldn't ever see it. And if you do? Report it - not tagging it is against the rules - that's how it's meant to fucken work folks.
But I'm not your mom. I can't tell you what to do. That's just my advice on the matter.
As for me I've been over on InkBunny for years and...I think I've posted more over there than I have here? I can't remember honestly. As a matter of fact that Digimon stuff of mine I mentioned earlier? The stuff on here is ancient, early design stuff - all the newer fancier more refined designed stuff is over on InkBunny, has been for ages.
Oh and fuck twitter. Sincerely don't understand why the furry art community hasn't moved over to Mastodon already instead of that radioactive cesspit.
(also yes, IB has a no humans rule - another reason to use Mastodon as a secondary alternative).
And for the record, I know some people are gonna say "no we should stand our ground and push back against the admins on this" but...like, are you new to this site or something? Good luck with that.
