It's been only FIVE DAYS!
2 years ago
General
So if you've somehow been living under a rock, let me see if I can summarize, as succinctly for you as I can, the 5 day long dillnado that's been going down on FA. This is all real btw! This is not me simply telling a narrative, multiple people have screenshot evidence of everything I'm about to say. You ready? Lets kill some braincells peeps:
1: FA announces that in order to stop CP (including the typical "kids body but a 500 year old vampice schtick") from showing up, they're going to ban all short people who look like kids including most pokemon and digimon.
Reaction: People start leaving the site.
2: FA notices this, and retracts. They say they're not going to ban small people, just children in sexual situations, (funny that wasn't ALREADY banned?) and they don't have a blanket list of pokemon and digimon they will always ban.
Reaction: Nobody trusts them and continue leaving the site.
3: FA posts a third journal retraction going "SURPRISE BUTTSEX! We actually are banning short people, here's that blanket list of pokemon we said we wouldn't ban and we actually will. Oh and btw 13 year old boys being TF'ed into pregnant eevees that eat people is completely SFW and you can upload as much of that as you want.
Reaction: People throw up in their mouths a bit, air all the staffs dirty laundry and hypocrisy, laugh at the sheer fucking lunacy of those statements, and continue leaving the site.
4: FA since they just cant fucking control themselves post another retraction, saying the pregnant 13 year olds rule was horribly worded and we're changing it to save face. Everything else though still stands, so if you're short we'll ban you but you can eat as many kids as you want in SFW art. We're a real brothers grimm in this bitch.
Reaction: People continue leaving the site.
You starting to see the pattern emerge here?
It's not going away. As I continue to watch artist after artist I've known, admired, become friends with, become patrons of... watch what they built up get torn to bits around them by fools... This is not something that people will forget about in a week. Not anymore FA.
I am gonna have one final journal elaborating on my actual feelings, (I THINK?! I could ride this dildurricaine for the entire next month if I really wanted to but I REALLY got more important shit to do, so lets keep it relevant for now...) but I just had to summarize that down on paper. I've been saying it over and over in my head for the past few days and I mean... When you put it all like that... It's a pretty fucking demented train ride isn't it?
There are some really inept people out there trying to sell the narrative right now that everyone leaving FA or scared they're going to be kicked off FA are a bunch of P words and we're all mad we're having our stashes of cub art taken away. I don't know if they're shills, FA+ supporters or just braindead in general, but no.
We're not mad at that. We'd be HAPPY to see that go. You have a combined 3 braincells so you will never understand or believe that but the vast majority of us WANT THAT GONE. We'd be happy.
We're mad at update #3. We're still mad at update #3. We're mad that FA staff thought THAT... THAAAAAAT... was a smart thing to publish.

It really boggles the mind how the Admins cant help but getting backlash after backlash and yet they keep clutching to this nonsense come hell and high water.
I have never been as close to leaving this site behind as i am currently, not because i like cub stuff or anyhting gross like that, but i fear that much more nonsense in lieu of this will follow and, bit by bit, whittle down what little appeal this site had for the fandom.
I dont need to be here when they ban feral stuff or hermaphrodites or bdsm. (exaggerated examples of course.)
That's me right now.
You know up until now I genuinely thought that was july 7th. I thought they DELAYED it. Fuck me running with a well lubed crucifix...
No, no! sensible decisions are anathema to the current administration! This train has no brakes! The plan must progress faster!
The only reason why I am still here, without Posting, is bluelilytz and fox0808.
Apart from that I am disgusted by most things that are presented to me here.
I started with deviantart and now I am returning there for good.
i would leave if i knew where to go, but i dont want to associate with either twitter or inkbunny so
Didn't mention it until now cause I'm still kinda looking into it myself, but sofurry is starting to look like a serious possible alternative. I heard someone say something about an update that site might be getting but I don't know if that's true, or a positive or negative. But what I'm reading on there now from their AUP... Maybe. Maybe.
Don't hold me to that one but I'll throw it out a a possibility.
sofurry is sdk
weasyl is sdk1234
There are alternatives. Varying levels of faith in them, but they are there and it seems like most of the crowd I know is deadset on using at least a few of them.
Sidenote - you still haven't poked back on discord about the story from Ashari ;3
