As part of the US government's "Kids Online Social Media Act" (or whatever it's called), a lot of ABDL artists and diaper art across every American-based website's about to get purged. At least two major artists have already bitten the dust, and if things continue at this rate, even you and I may not be safe.
Normally this is the part where I mention which sites I'm on, but before I do I need to make something clear.
This isn't just a Fur Affinity issue, this is an issue with all American websites! And no, living in a different country will NOT save you from the consequences of using an American site.
Aside from FA, I'm based on FIVE other sites. FOUR of which are based in the United States, and only ONE is based in a different country (i.e. Japan) and that site's Pixiv. Say what you will about what's on that site, but right now that site's becoming our lifeboat. And if you aren't already on Pixiv, I suggest you'd consider joining.
Here's my Pixiv page, but note I haven't yet posted anything there, but that WILL change (even if I don't know when):

But if my do lose my DA page but am still on other sites, here's all the other sites I'm on.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against the idea of keeping kids safe, in fact I support it. But it's when governments and/or institutions fail to properly define (assuming they'd even tried) what counts as breaching child safety that can become a serious problem, especially for a community as vulnerable to misinterpretation by the general public as we are. And even if the Act was made with the best of intentions, it's effects and consequences can still be disastrous.
A mistake is a mistake, and having good intentions isn't going to magically fix that.
After all, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Don't dismiss that saying as religious nonsense because it's true!
