Your Art Here Is In Danger
10 months ago
"oh, I dont like ABDL art or babyfurs.. in fact they're a little gross. I'm kind of glad FA is cracking down tbh."
I see that sentiment around a fair amount. But here's the thing. You might not be into the same things I am, and thats fine. But if youre here and a furry you probably ARE into something thats a little off the beaten path. Maybe you like ferals, or knots, or equine cocks. Maybe hyper scat, or hypnosis, or incest, or dubious-consent. Maybe you like fat furs and weight gain. All of those things are at risk when we start redlining out images based not on the content of the pic, but their potential for influencing real world actions, or for implications of fictional characters mental states, or other things that aren't ACTUALLY IN THE ART but are subjective opinions in the minds of observers, that vary wildly from person to person.
Who can say if something is "fetishized" or "sexual" to me, but not to you, or vice versa? Can you see that this leads to a situation where EVERYTHING can be read one way or another, and can always be interpreted in the most harmful bad-faith possible way, and thus HAS to be banned? That there's no way off this slippery slope when you start banning adult characters in artwork from doing something BECAUSE it might get misinterpreted?
Furaffinity banned actual cub porn, as in naked cubs doing sexual things, many many years ago. But they didn't stop there. Now they are banning fully adult characters from doing sexual things on the vague grounds of their mental states. If they ban "mental regression" hypno is next. And then something else will irk them. and then something else and something else. Until none of us are left here.
FA mods defined EGGS as minors for this new policy. EGGS. So if you like oviposition youre liking literal CSAM according to them. Its madness.
Please, please, listen to me on this.

So far, its changed the minds of three people.
seriously?
guess there goes any breakfast themed picture
As the book/sentiment goes- "First the came for "?," and I did nothing/did not care..."
Eventually 'They' will indeed come for whoever's left.
To really show how ridiculous this whole thing is, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is CSAM per Policy 2.7 (It has an episode where a physically a mentally regressed character is seen getting their diaper changed.)
If you attack any fetish, you attack all fetishes. At that point how far will they go?
This whole thing is so stupid.
