NOTICE: Fansly is Banning Furry Content (Moving to Substar)
5 months ago
General
Fansly is now banning furry content from their website, due to being twisted by their payment processor classifying such material as "simulated bestiality". They are STILL allowing for kemonomimi style avatars (animal ears/tails) - but full fursonas, kemono, and scalie content are now fully banned from their website.
This is very restrictive to my upcoming redesign that, as I have hinted, has furry feature toggles. I am now contacting fansly compliance, with copies of my new character design to see if the human form is still within their compliance guidelines before I move forward on the model rigging. This is another roadblock that has now put a pause on my redebut as I am awaiting their response to me.
Needless to say, this is devastating to me as someone who has been a furry since 2008, a community with strong queer history and kink roots this is a HUGE blow on what is pride month. I want to bring awareness and let everyone know that as anti-democratic movements and censorship movements become more and more popular and trendy, that things like furry content, or even vore content may become more restrictive in the future as a result. Please do your part to fight against censorship and let people in your community + advocacy groups know, and if anyone calls you a gooner for speaking about this, let them know that these precedents strongly imply further speech bans and will not simply stop at just pornography. They are simply coming after the easiest target first.
Fansly is only giving creators until June 28th, this Saturday, to review and take down their content, this is less than a week's notice from sending the email. When these bans come from a payment processor and not the platform, these bans can often come in pairs, and so I am anticipating this policy to follow on one of the other sites as well, namely patreon as they have similar restrictions to fansly.
SO WHAT NOW???
I will be reviewing all of my content, and removing any furry material from my fansly, and possibly my patreon if there is an announcement from them. Off the top of my head, the embertaur audio, emberzilla brap compilation, the shark audio, and Loona brap compilations, will all have to go. There may be more.
All of that content will be moved to my subscribestar, which I made just in anticipation for something like this to happen. I will slowly be reuploading all my content on there, and will be uploading all future content on there, crossposted from my fansly, and patreon. The subscribestar might be the platform that will host exclusive furry content that is only to that platform. I try to keep all content the same across fansly/patreon, but unfortunately policy/platform restrictions just do not allow for that to be possible.
100% OF ALL subscription proceeds to my subscribestar from now until July 15th will be donated to the ACLU - an organization that time and time again has been dedicated to fighting against internet censorship with their strong advocacy campaigns that a lot of times even involves taking these people to court.
You can subscribe to that here: https://subscribestar.adult/embertalks
If you want to donate more to the ACLU than just the $3.99 ur subbing to me with, or just want to donate to them directly you can donate to them here: https://action.aclu.org/give/now
I wish I had better news to deliver, but this is all I know right now and am navigating this in real time. I'll keep doing my best for you all always, regardless of what restrictions I get hit with ❤️
