Understanding the nuances of FA's new policy is easy.
a year ago
The too long; didn't read: FA is a business. FA depends on tight assed, terrified finance management systems that do not want legal controversy and want to cover their asses against both the legal retaliation of above-the-board punishments, and the beneath-the-board disdain of the culture of the industry itself among creditors and finance management. They do not want to be penalized in a legal sense or an Old Boys Club sense among their peers because one of their sources of revenue gets uncomfortably close to Cub Porn.
You can still have art of unbirth related stuff; Just, instead of age regression, guess it'd have to involve shrinking. Or growth of the host. Or same-size. Just make it clear no minor is involved.
You can still have art of birth.
You can still have art of pregnancy.
You can still have art of pregnant sex.
You can still have art of folks playing with lactating breasts, breastfeeding, etc.
You just can't have art of someone fucking a pregnant woman while she's got a head pushing out of her box (or he), or masturbating around a newborn baby, or a bunch of people hanging out with erections flopped out during a very exhibitionary birth, I'd imagine.
You can't have vore that involves reconstituting people into a prenatal form to rebirth them; that still involves age regression and in the context, kink.
You can't involve pregnancy fetishism art where the fetus, new person or unbirthed/regressed, is aware of the dicks slamming their house with cutaways of them being self-aware, and thus, participating in the act for the purposes of narrative kink.
And I'd imagine that the dialogue in your written stories probably has to conform to this, as well. Depending on what the characters say, do, or intone that could enter the domain of sexualizing a fetus, baby or age-regressed person as part of a sexual act, even as a prop. With a grey line between two people fucking eagerly anticipating their child and two people fucking and talking about getting Jr. in on the act, or something.
And your milky tiddy play just can't feature someone wearing baby bonnets and diapers. It's.. it's not hard. Just don't make smooth brained vapid faces and make "goo goo gaga" dialogue, and you'll be fine.
FA has to come at this from the perspective that a bunch of yall think you're slick and still want to keep doing whatever you want and use technicalities to skirt the intentions of the rules that say, "no kink or fetish content that involves minors, circumstantial or natural."
"They aren't TECHNICALLY a baby, because despite being age regressed, they're over 18." No. You know the intention of the piece is they've become a minor, that's kind of the whole attraction to many people. That thar be a baby, by intention and design, and you know it.
Is it kind of stupid? Oh god yes, undoubtedly. Is it cowtowing to obscenity laws, both domestic to the United States of America, and controlled speech laws internationally, that should by all rights be abolished as abominations against the freedom of speech? Oh hell to the FUCK yes. Is it a form of censorship not related to the government? Why yes, yes it is.
And just like when the lot of you hooted about how Twitter had the right to ban and censure whom it pleased because it was a privately owned company acting in the interests of the public good, that same freedom to censure is applied here. With a heavy hand that errs on the side of, "just don't make depictions of sex or kink involving underaged characters on our platform."
It's not unreasonable. It's just pedantic and a complication. The vast majority of you are safe, because the vast majority of you whom draw breastfeeding for the wholesome mother/child dynamic aren't even close to the risk. The vast majority of you that draw birth are likely not trying to make it erotic. The vast majority of you that draw unbirth probably won't like that there's no 'safe' form of age regression anymore, but, well.. the emphasis of unbirth only circumstantially involves becoming a minor. You'll adapt and deal with it and be fine, if you want to post content on FA.
And there's always Inkbunny for the material you can't post here..
