About that latest FurAffinity Update
2 years ago
General
So I'm sure a lot of you guys are aware of FurAffinity's latest updates. Images depicting characters with childlike proportions aren't allowed (this is to prevent "she looks like a child, but is actually a 1000 year old vampire" type posts). Some people are worried that this might lead to false takedowns (e.g. short adults may be misinterpreted as children).

On May 22, they made a second post clarifying this update (https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10557600). Apparently this is a rule that existed since 2015 and the last post was just to clarify the rule, so nothing's actually changing (except for one thing). The main difference now is that the rule is being expanded to include pokemon and digimon. Apparently this rule wasn't being properly enforced on images depicting pokemon/digimon in some cases, so now they're doubling down on it. Think images with baby pokemon for example. If you draw an anthro pichu with adult proportions, you'll be fine, but if you draw a pichu with its normal proportions, it may get taken down
Also, if it wasn't obvious enough already, this only applies to NSFW images. Children are fine to depict in SFW drawings
A lot of people are saying goodbyes and posting their alt accounts on other sites, but I don't think there's actually much to worry about. On a related note, I suppose it might be good idea to mention that I also post to e621. In case something actually does happen to my account, you can find me under the "xevv" tag. You can find whatever sites I hang out at by clicking on some posts and looking at the "source" section.

Finally someone ACTUALLY READS WHAT THE ARTICLE SAYS! Rather than listening to the people angry they can't post cub art. Thank you for being a voice of reason
