oh ok

First time checking FA in two months, and... everything's the same as before. Well, I guess I was all worried over nothing, then, at least with regards to FA.
But now I'm left in an awkward position. I'd pretty much come to terms with the idea that posting NSFW art online would no longer be viable without connecting my IRL identity to whatever I posted it on, so I fully intended to just abandon this account, focus exclusively on my outside work, and keep any future NSFW drawings to myself. I mostly just checked the site to confirm my assumptions. But if everything's the same here after all, then, well I don't know what to do.
I'd already shifted to looking at the positives of having to abandon this place, such as the fact I'd no longer have to maintain a separate online presence, I wouldn't have to pick one or the other when it comes to new character/creature concepts since they'd all just go in my outside projects regardless (with the fetish aspects toned down, of course), and that if I kept my NSFW art going forward to drawings of outside OCs then it'd also serve as practice for drawing said characters. But most of all, the fact I'd no longer have to deal with the recurring question of whether I wanted to continue this online presence or not. It absolutely is a good thing that my hand isn't forced in that regard, but I'm really bad at committing to decisions so now I'm back to endlessly wondering if it's in my best interest to keep this stuff private or continue posting it here in the future. Right now, of course, the answer is "I really don't know."
On the bright side, the idea that NSFW art would be basically inaccessible to me unless I already had it saved or drew it myself really, really sucked. It's good to know I can keep following so many artists who draw really nice stuff over here, and even if I do stop posting art, or even abandon this identity entirely and delete this account someday, I'll make sure to maintain at least a passive presence on FA so I don't miss anything.
