Where did the NSFW art go?

General
My sincerest apologies for purging my NSFW artwork. The dipshits that run my state government passed a bill (that was signed by Ron Desantis) earlier this year that goes into effect on January 1st 2025. The bill in question requires services that host "content harmful to minors" to validate users' ages. Earlier this year, e621 had a similar problem relating to this but their governer (Arizona) thankfully vetoed the bill. No such luck here in Florida, however. The bill is (very intentionally, I suspect) ambiguously written and, until it becomes clearer who exactly is affected by the provisions of the law, I'm not going to deal with it. The law seems specifically aimed at businesses or other such legal organizations, but it also specifies that a person may be served a subpeona and/or sued by or on behalf of, a minor residing in the state of Florida.
I'm not a legal expert and I'm not chancing being sued by some Karen because her kid saw a titty. Unless and until the law is deemed unconstitional (for drawn art such as mine, this may well be a First Amendment issue, hello ACLU) or case law is established to clarify how it can be applied, I just won't be posting NSFW content more risque than a bathing suit.
I'm sorry to everyone who favorited my art. Take it up with the geriatric bastards in the Florida State Legislature and Ron Desantis.
