On Distrust And Mutual Support
10 months ago
I know the babyfur policies have been slightly modified in the last few months, and supposedly, some babyfurs have been directly invited to help make things amicable again with staff, and to advise them on improving their policies.
But as far as I'm concerned the damage was done. I do not feel comfortable hosting my art on a site that was hostile to my community, and I don't know when, or if, my feelings about that will change.
I will be here to continue supporting the artists who were able to overcome the onslaught of hostility, but I will still not be uploading my art until further notice, even though it has always been and would always be upload policy-compliant. The art I create can be found on Bluesky, because FurAffinity has still not regained my trust. They have a lot more work to do before that's going to happen.
Instead of holding your breath for me to post to my gallery, please see my favorites and give some love and support to the many incredible artists on display there. Give them a watch/follow, get a commission, send them a tip or sign up for their subscribestars/etc - show the love however you can. They're the backbone of our community and they deserve your time and attention. When the close-minded spread the hate, it's up to us to spread the love.
