"Yoshi you've been really calm about this FA thing"
2 years ago
General
Look man I would be lying if I said I haven't been losing my mind a little bit, but you also have to understand I've been on this site for over 10 years now. I can't just scoop up all my roots and move over to whatever website is inevitably going to implode down the line. As shitty as these decisions can be, I've no choice but to respect the policy change on this one and be mindful of what gets posted here in the future. I've had my gallery wiped once and I don't really think I want it to happen again.
I've sent in a trouble ticket and had mods respond with submissions that can't be posted under current policy, and I've tried to use that as a guideline for what can and can't stay on this site. If I've missed something, I did my best, but looking through 10 years of submissions? Some things will fall through the cracks, and it's not my intent to evade the rules. Even with this statement, I could get struck by lightning for any little thing, so I'm just saying I put in the work...
Under new FA policy, I've determined that the submissions below will be deleted a week from now, Monday June 10th. In addition, the characters Kafei, Eldigann, Axew Yosh and Bagon Yosh will no longer appear on this site. These submissions will stay up for a week, so archive them now if that's your wish. I will be putting all of these image files in a dropbox link for viewing as well, and some are even cross posted on twitter. They're not being nuked from the internet, I have them backed up and organized, they'll be fine.
The images in question have been deleted. Here's the dropbox! https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rvsun9a5.....YgNdxk0ha?dl=0
Finally, I am relatively active on twitter, and even though it's not meant to be used as an art archive, all I do is post art and rarely respond with a meme, so my media tab should be pretty clutter-free.
"But Yoshi, isn't Twitter also a dumpster fire?"
Yes. Elon Musk is a manbaby, and not the sexy kind. I have a full time job and I draw most days of the week. I really just can't spend the time or energy investing into Mastodon or whatever. I just don't care. I just want to draw Pokemon in diaps and make people happy doing it. I'm not about to chuck myself into a grave over capitalism's grip on artistic freedom.

By the way, if there's any potentially questionable artwork I should be removing from not only my current gallery, but also my two old galleries, feel free to send me a private message to let me know; giving me reasons for potential removal is optional, but happily appreciated. Thank you.
I fucking knew it, my gallery and more importantly my account is going byebye. Haven't cried this much over my hobbies being suddenly tarnished since my only playthrough of PMD2: EoS.
I really wish there was an obvious platform to move to. I've been surprised seeing responses to their moderation nonsense that there's not just one or two places where everyone is flocking to.
Luckily those seem to be safer options, for now.
