The Great FA Purge
2 years ago
General
So after an extensive combing of my gallery, twice, I have purged it of all potential non-compliance submissions. Which brings the grand total to...
3.... I deleted 3 submissions.
Truth be told, I'm not too worried about the rule changes, especially after the collar stretching, backpedalling update journals. My only characters I'm worried about are Ruby: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/44381650/ since she's short and doesn't have any tits. Not that I draw her all that often though. But the main one I'm super worried about is Squibby: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/43104864/ I always make sure to draw her with massive ass n tits... but she's still a Splatoon inkling. Despite being an adult, I'm sure there's plenty of "Minor Whiners" out there to deal the underaged card. I draw a LOT of Splatoon stuff, so I really hope it's not also on the chopping block. And no, I haven't attempted the trouble ticket thing they said to do. One, because I don't have the time to ask for permission if all of baby's artwork gets to stay up on the fridge. And two, my previous experience with help tickets on this site is exactly the same as dealing with medical professionals in California; they don't give a shit. Every help ticket and/or DM I have ever sent has gone unanswered and ignored. So not doing that.
Let's be real... what this really boils down to is what ALL online activity boils down to: "HOW POPULAR YOU ARE!" I am not a Popufur. (Are we still saying Popufur or did we move onto something else?) I've been on this site for over 14 years and I still haven't even broken 1K Watchers. I'd say that's pretty pathetic. Therefore I'm not that high of flight risk and hopefully don't have obsessive fans/haters that are jealous of my mediocrity of constantly drawing my stupid albino elf man sticking his penis in cartoon characters. On the off chance that my gallery does get targeted... well... they can take what they will, I suppose, and then I just won't upload it again. They said they weren't going to straight up ban anyone for it, so only time will tell.
But until they do ban me I don't think I'll ever stop uploading to FA because... well, in all honesty, FA is the ONLY site I make commission money from. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pillowfort, Kofi, Patreon, SubStar, Itaku, all these garbage shit websites you all wanted me to use SO bad are just awful... and I don't get them. FA has at least maintained a small form of consistency right up until they """""fixed...""""" the upload size and locked higher resolutions behind a paywall. I pray that more stupid decisions will not follow, but we shall see.

After following the FA Discord discussions and feedback on this, I think there will be more backpedaling or at least clearer clarification coming in the next weeks.
I did send a trouble ticket of my own in, will see what happens there.
