Wait, why does the pregnancy art violate it?!

I have no idea. Just saw this https://twitter.com/CharrGrynn/stat.....h9Blw&s=19

Isn't the rule that you can't have a pregnant minor depicted? I don't remember there being any outright ban on pregnancy :o

They count it as minors in sexual situations..... https://twitter.com/CharrGrynn/stat.....h9Blw&s=19

wow... just wow... also by the logic of the person in the ticket shouldn't even female preg be "banned" too? i mean if it is depicted how they say in that (the pleasure part) i mean neither should be banned, but if they are going to use that logic why only mpreg?

It might just be that example/ tweet
I doubt that FA would ban something like mpreg as that would piss off a TON of people, even those not into it. SO either it is showing favoritism or they are thinking of banning all preg art

either way it sucks for artists who do it a lot .-. i know of a few artists that do a TON of preg stuff....

they will go for the banning of all preg art. which is inevitable. just a matter of when and where to start. the Mpreg stuff would be the easy target there first.

I definitely don't think it pertains to only Mpreg, by the rules stated by the ticket replier... it would make it so ALL preg goes against TOS, which is why I'm removing anything to do with it ASAP.

better safe than sorry

With FA anymore, yes absolutely

yeah that is why i am really hesitant to upload the 2 eevees that i got just before the ban on them... their refs are "nude" (no bulges or genitals), and i have heard some say it is "ok", as long as there is no implied or actual genitals, but i just do not trust it.

fjalkdsjflka it seems like a lot of the mods have different takes on the rules anyways, its so dangerous to post things that might possible almost be against some kind of arbitrary rule anymore

i have a few female characters without boobs (they are meant to be adults just flat chested, and my character Quin in particular is also pretty short canonically) that are not pokemon, and with the recent stuff, i am even worried about using them at all because of this too.

Just seeing so many kobold owners having to pull their charas off the site is so sad. It's such a difficult time to be an art enjoyer because so many sites are doing such fucking wild shit that makes it impossible to have a safe space anymore

yeah it really is sad :( like the rules are so vague and the staff are so unreliable it is just not worth even taking a chance with a shorter character... Quin is also an adventurer, and i was hoping to eventually (was not going to happen soon, but i was hoping eventually) to have her and the rest of her party in a pub/guild hall chatting/drinking/etc. (some of them don't wear cloths canonically, so it would have been nsfw) and now i am deff not risking that

Definitely not on FA at least v.v that's a huge bummer

yeah agreed, i was also thinking about eventually getting some preg stuff, but that is off the table too. :(

for the time being you can still get the preg stuff, its just if it shows any sexual pleasure or shows the kids kicking around in there, they will attack it and take it down as pedo bate and all of that stuff.

my main issue is the "for the time being" part, at any moment that could change (also don't really have the money for any atm anyway, so by the time i was able to it may be changed again -_-)

I know. a no win situation regardless of how you look at it. :(

(sadness on the money thing but its understandable for everyone to be in that situation.)

there never was a safe space to begin with unless you go full out political there.

the site basically bans short art. might as well go normal to tall for height. its all or nothing at this rate.

yes because there's no way to tell if somethings a minor or not

the only way to truly stop child exploitative content is to ban all nsfw content in general

idk if they will go that far to ban all nsfw content out right. but i would not be surprised that they would go for banning all nsfw content of any and all short characters out right.

otherwise like you said that's the only way to stop child exploitative situations/content.

That has always been the case, that what one person says is fine, might be awful to another, with zero consistency on rules application or even definitions, as they seem to all have different interpretations of vaguely worded guidelines

in short until the guide lines are worded clearly and precise for the line to be drawn and visible for all to see.

it's a no win situation for anyone who's not a dev who can manipulate the vague rules to suit there own agendas.

Where where you going to put it after you remove it all?

Probably nowhere. Anything pregnancy from here on out will be posted to mastodon, tumblr, deviantart, or subscribestar etc

deviantart has been going down hill as well on top of the political purges they have been doing etc. the other sites will have to be the way to go.

do what you got to do.

As far as I can tell, the combination of kinks and sexual pleasure is what may be their problem thought here. Which is still stupid as hell, and now Ive got one piece that has me worried. I think base pregnancy stuff should be fine, but I dont blame you for being safe I guess. Goddamnit FA... ;w;

That's exactly the case. It's not a complete ban on pregnancy but sexual pleasure derived from it. Which means those accounts that recolor the exact same picture of canon characters with pregnant bellies but has no visible parts in it is 100% okay despite it still being clear fetish content but having belly kicks and being aroused is "pedophilic"

Its such a stupid fucking thing. Ugh. Im glad I don't do live young much, but still. Grrrr.

I'm so tired of this bullshit... Thanks for the heads up.

But according to the post it cannot be applied to the egg-pregnancy as it doesn't involve any cubs.

True, however I'll probably be removing it anyways while I remove the rest. Just to be safe

Isn't that going too far?
If it doesn't break any rules why remove?

probably because at any moment a staff member could arbitrarily decide it does break rules, and you could get in trouble. the rules are really vague in the first place (even with their "clarifications"), and each staff member seems to have a very different interpretation of them. for now it is just preg (not just saying mpreg because it is kind of implied any preg) that involves arousal, but at any moment they could also say just being nude counts too or something like that.

This is is a wrong way.
If you delete something, just in case it *may* violate something in some *undefined future* then you should probably remove whole gallery (please don't!) because anything may happen in future...
Just be cool,react accordingly, nothing really bad can happen.

This was definitely my knee jerk reaction. I did contemplate for a while just completely removing my gallery, so the fact that I've decided just to remove anything involving eggs or pregnancy is a decent alternative xD

I guess some might see it that way, however I never in my wildest dreams expected them to be coming after preg anyways. I feel like at any moment they could find some way to make eggs no good too. It's just for my own safety and peace of mind.

Then do it when they will find anything, not before. Trying to be "more saint than the pope" never ends well.
There is no danger of being banned or punished. Even that guy in that quoted post just got deleted one art, nothing else.
As I said. Be cool and react accordingly.
You do a good job! Keep it that way! ^.=.^

It's all good, no skin off my back deleting stuff, which is why I'm giving people time to save it. I'll remove what I feel comfy with and go from there! People have other places they can find my work, so it's super not a big deal deleting stuff here in particular.

Yes, but I still feel sorry for these future people who might never find your awesome preg arts.
Finding good arts involves a lot of luck. Limiting places to find them makes them require even more luck.

Alas, this seems to be how FA is going currently. And I'd rather not get banned or flagged or something. I'm sure people will survive without that particular art on this particular site.

I'm really sorry things have come to this. I'm a huge fan of your work and I somehow feel like it's my fault that you're having to deal with the exact same horrible feelings that I am as a result.

Most of your pictures should be fine, but if there are any that have sexual arousal and some kind of belly kicks, those are the ones you should take down if you're going to do that at all

Naw, definitely not your fault. If it hadn't been you getting in trouble, it well could have been me instead. At least this gives me time to remove stuff before I end up getting flagged or a strike or whatever they do. Thank you for spreading awareness <3
