First off. It's about time we finally got the 18+ restrictions.
I immediately turned mine on.
secondly.
The policy update.
They've changed nothing.
They made a claim about "using dictionary definitions" and it's just a blatant lie.
They make the claim, and then, not only do they just type up a fake definition, they also just don't cite the source of their dictionary definition for it to be looked up.
Because literally no real life dictionary describes the word FETISH as a sexual subject.
It's an irrational obsession towards any subject.
When in reference to "sexuality" it's specifically in reference to having an attraction to non sexual subjects

Likewise with KINK
Kink is behavior that is explicitly sexual, while doing things that aren't just two people connecting.

And YET,
Whoever is in charge typed up their own definitions that are still worded to allow them to interchange any of the words they used, with any applicable subject.
Then they basically go on to list everything they hate about Nickelodeon cartoons and basically call any form of gross-out humor sexual.
I've been saying this for nearly a decade,
But equating anything you want to call gross "sexual" in an attempt to ban it, is really shitty and dangerous territory.
Wording your own made up definitions the way they have literally allows them to say "I don't like that, I think it's gross, which means I think it's sexual, and you should be banned for it"
THEY LITERALLY SAY THEY ARE ALLOWED TO DO THIS:
"Enforcement of this section is done on a case-by-case basis and upon the totality of the content being reviewed, including the upload, submission description, tags, artist/uploader’s comments, profile page, intent, style, and more."
I don't like it.
And I'm almost certain the harassment by staff will just continue.
They made the claim that people were suspended and had their art deleted as a mistake.

I collect books, including dictionaries of various vintage.
The dictionary definition of 'fetish' in ALL of them literally encompasses the concept of autistic special interests.
They claim that they'll take 'intent' into consideration but we know full well that's bullshit.
With their current definition and rule set, they can literally just say they interpret your intent however they feel like and will act on their own opinion.
Like it's just messed up every which way anyone can look at it.
They're banking on this being the retort to any pushback.
Look, I DO have kid characters. But if I ever wrote or drew something with them in a situation with something they deem 'fetish' (because one other person got hard to it; their skill issue) it would be because I want to show them enduring an adventure that is far different from anything they could have dealt with normally. Think Adventure Time with the giant that ate everything and had a literal furry party in his stomach. It's weird, it's alien, it's different. I want to show how they cope with that new experience and overcome it and how they approach other things in the future- and how they learn to deal with this craziness if and when it happens again.
BECAUSE IT'S A STORYTELLING TROPE.
I'm not making *porn* just because coomer Mr. Gooner gets hard to it and can't handle seeing it for a second without jamming his hand in his pants.
It's especially shitty because I have a ton of friends who like storytelling tropes like I do- almost like enjoying the tropes is part of enjoying media in general!
