The Power and the People: voicing opinions in moderations

So here’s the thing, ladies and gentlemen— apparently, my latest FurAffinity upload, “The Power and The People,” was deemed “harmful” to the community.

The art itself? Totally fine. peachy even.
The commentary below it?
Well, let’s just say it ruffled a few very delicate feathers.
According to FurAffinity staff, my description supposedly violated their “Code of Conduct” by referencing certain public figures — the logic being that critiquing them somehow equates to “supporting hate groups.” Yeah… that math doesn’t quite add up, does it?
Now, for clarity’s sake — no hate group was endorsed, no violent rhetoric was used, and the post itself was a straightforward call for empathy, awareness, and, you know, basic decency. But we live in an era where shouting “treat people better” gets you flagged for starting a revolution.
I disputed it, of course. Respectfully might I add. The final verdict? The image stays gone, but I didn’t get a strike or a ban. So technically, I’m free to keep posting — just have to keep it subtle.

Translation: keep the bite, but wrap it in a smile. 😏Support the furaffinity post out there if ya down with freedom of speech you dirty animals X3
The funny part? The piece was literally called “Power to the People.”
It celebrates standing tall and proud, and not backing down when injustice or indifference stares you in the face. Which — irony of ironies — is exactly what this little debacle represents.
I get it. Moderators gotta moderate. Counterpoint: artists gotta speak. My characters, my stories, my comics — to put it transparently, might or might not be propaganda to some but in the end, in my mind's eye; they’re passion. They’re how I process the madness of our times and, hopefully, help others feel a little less alone in theirs.
So, I’ll keep drawing.
Keep storytelling.
Keep being that persistent fly in the soup of complacency.
And maybe — just maybe — I’ll be a little smarter about where I park my megaphone next time.
To all the creators out there: don’t lose your spark. Adjust, adapt, but never dim down. The art matters — even when the algorithm disagrees.
