Why I hate hearing/seeing certain fetishes/rant
2 years ago
I have almost constant hallucinations.
I hear, feel, smell, and taste things that aren't there.
If I'm watching cooking videos, those tend to be my favourite because it's kind of like having smell-o-vision. Same for being able to taste things.
Things I hear involve leaves and bottles in the wind when I'm doing things. Music 24/7 when I am not being mentally stimulated enough. Same in tasting and smelling things that aren't there.
Things I feel tend to be things crawling over me, sometimes it feels like someone is grabbing part of my body. Even if I'm staring at that part of my body, I feel it still.
But now in why I HATE. And I mean fucking HATE seeing certain fetishes. I can fucking smell images, I can hear them.
When people post the worst shit, and I mean literal shit, I honestly hate everything about it. The fact that people are posting stuff where there's no rules to blurr/cover up the revolting images.
The front page is where you can see the most recent images, but because of the fucking dumb rules on site, Dragoneer, people are constantly forced to randomly see some of the grossest stuff while the plans of the site are vague at best.
99% of the fandom most likely don't wanna go to the front page and see someone shitting all over someone else, having a hyper inflated diaper filled with piss and shit, and other shit like that.
Oh and there's pretty much no plans in adding a proper tagging system where you can block artists' posts and just people in general. They've said it's on their 'planned features', but it's not even being worked on from what the public currently knows.
Wish there was some rule about forcing the extreme content to HAVE to use a thumbnail with a content warning in what the picture(s) is/are about. But hey, with how rules get enforced and changed, nothing is gonna happen about it because FA is the biggest art site for furries and hasn't really changed in forever.
TL;DR - I fucking hate every single god damn gross picture that people post that's revolting fetish shit and I'd love if there were rules so people didn't have to actually see said gross stuff.
Hell, you know if you search scat while SFW mode is on, there's still pictures of people shitting????

The PROPER tagging system is one people have been asking for since I joined the site back in 2007. Only a few years away from having seen people ask about this stuff for 20 years, yet this site is still built to be pretty disconnected with a proper art space, but it's still just too big to do belly under over night unless Dragoneer does something that pisses off the whole community.
Hell, I've thought about being a volunteer to FA and tried asking questions before. I got flat out ignored because I was asking for clarifications of some of the rules that they seem to use pretty vaguely and the answer had changed once or twice before.
I mean looking alone at just how art theft is handled is absolute trashfire. 'You can only file a report if you're the artist or commissioner'. There's still stolen art on site from artists that speak NO ENGLISH AT ALL and they won't do a damn thing about it.
We can't warn people about scamming artists/commissioners, and they won't do much of anything when you report someone that's scammed you before (I was scammed out of art I waited almost a year for and blocked by said artist, FA staff did nothing at fucking all to help me when it all took place over messages on this site and the artist has changed accounts multiple times now)
I'd move to another site if I could, but others are too small (And sometimes invite only), run by terrible people, abandoned super quickly, and more.
I'll flat out state this though. I wish we had more competence with those who run the site.
Oh also, if you turn on the SFW filter and look up scat, you still see art of people shitting and messing themselves. About 6000+ results from it. Sure, some are about the music, but most are about the revolting fetish/pictures
But did you know the blacklist caps out around 5200 people? And it's not an infinite blacklist. I know this because I put people on there that normally upload the disgusting images mentioned above.
I can't even remember when I did. Maybe that was around two years after I joined.
I started losing interest in 2022 but officially abandoned hope after the May 2023 update. I'm convinced the staff has completely given up.
Sucky that it's a volunteer position though. This site is way too big to be relying so damn heavily on free help.
So many other sites have such better coders/planned for what they have with better tagging systems and being able to flat out block people who don't bother tagging anything (Like how a TON of artists on FA don't tag a damn thing)
I'm really sorry it's causing you such problems. :(
But I don't believe that 'a lot of scat artists don't want to upset people', personally. I see a lot of them with that BS group 'tolerant furs' on their pages and how much of the same literal crap they do over and over. What's worse though is one prominent 'scat artist' has a word in their name that I like to search every now and then, but because it's in their user name I can't actually block their stuff without blocking the term I want to look up.
But don't forget about when people forgo ever adding anything in their damn tags when they upload anything!!!
I've seen people use the custom thumbnails rarely on art on the front page, but honestly everything that's on this damn site is so jank.
Other art sites have been able to update and actually do stuff right.... including not having some dumb cap of about 5200 people on your blocklist on FA, and a rename system so we don't have to rehunt down people we do not want interacting with us and having to re-block them.
The management of the 'new site' and everything is so terrible, they're never gonna have what I've seen people asking for since 2007. They've tried to remake FA what like... 3-4 times now, each time not being able to make something people are happy with??? Hell, Inkbunny and e621 have WAY better tagging/blocking systems than FA Will probably ever have. But I guess lying to the userbase is normal???

Here's some screenshots from the FA Official discord group, it just feels like they're doing whatever they feel like doing and not giving a damn if what they say is true or not. Listing shit as 'in development' when it's not even fucking started is just vile.
