Thoughts on FA policy 2.7 update?
2 years ago
It was brought to my attention from a friend just now all the ordeals happening with FA in regard to the policy 2.7 change. Was curious what all of your thoughts were on it?
Luckily, I believe it barely effects me as the only character type within that body type that I have ever gotten art of is a few Riolu pieces with a character that isn't mine, but I find it pretty insane that things as common as Eevee got hit with the ban hammer.
Given that it is all purely fictional I don't really see an issue that needs to ban so many species/characters. Most that have art of that kind of stuff don't even think of it in THAT way, and for the few that do it is better that it is fictional rather than the alternative.
Last year around this time had a few p-word accusations from things taken out of context from people who take literally anything from multiple people and blow it out of proportion, and feel like this new policy could easily make this worse for some despite them not being so due to how easily the system could be exploited with such a policy.
And while this policy only goes after younger looking body types, the next thing could easily be anything that walks on 4 legs.

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/). With this happening a lot of artists here have been going to Itaku too (https://itaku.ee/home).
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.
If it didn't happen, I hav onliy a mirror, but if it gets "weird" here, it's not all gone completely.
