A bit of concern over the new policy update
a year ago
Well, FA issued a policy update today, which was largely in response to a number of babyfur artists being suspended/banned for things that they thought were permissible.
The new upload policy outlines those things in clearer, stricter terms but it raises a couple issues.
First up is this:
Body Part Emphasis. The focus (e.g. zoomed in, primary part of the content) of the content may not be on specific body parts of a minor, such as their feet, groin, butts, clothed or otherwise. This does not apply to content where the focus on these parts is coincidental.
Sure, don’t focus on suggestive body parts, but under this wording, something like a kitten playing with its tail could be verboten.
The other aspect is that this compounds an issue raised by last year’s update, which was never properly clarified. That this could apply to characters who are adults, but drawn in a cartoonish or chibi style or transformation into “baby” Pokemon like Eevee or Charmander.
I’m kind of inclined to ask for some clarification on the FA discord server, but the requirement for phone number verification keeps me from fully joining.

My most recent story probably violates these rules 'cause my teen characters use the bathroom, which is natural for living, breathing creatures. So glad I haven't donated to the gofundme now.
