Some statistics: FA and porn
15 years ago
It's been said that FA consistently has several times more clean artwork than mature/adult-rated artwork -- thus, the site cannot possibly be all about porn.
The bit about the numbers is true. But I object to drawing conclusions about what viewers think from what artists do.
So here is a chart of faves, comments, and views for each rating, and the average number per submission:

There's almost five times as much clean art as blatant porn, and yet porn still has quite a few more total views. Hmm.
Disclaimer: my data is way old. Who knows; maybe something has drastically changed in recent months.

And overturning bad math is relevant to my interests. Call it a fetish.
I don't understand trying to play-down furry porn either, and I don't think "furry" has anything to do with the amount of interest in porn. If you're not interested in furry porn, you're interested in some other kind of porn. I think the amount of interest would stay pretty much the same.
Guess that's another reason why furry sticks out so bad.
Compare that reality to the usually completely segregated world of live action entertainment. In that respect there is enough demand that a healthy business market exists even in ultra-uptight jurisdictions.
I believe the reason FA is different is that it is trying to serve as a social nexus for fans of a like mind; allowing each to show off their own creations and contracted productions. In that respect it is logical that some portion of work would be for everyone and some portion for adults only.
The three then went out in an attempt to rescue Fiona but ultimately failed to free her. Due to the mysterious disappearance of Ray, Mighty went berserk and began trashing the facility, forcing Robotnik to abandon it. Fiona was brought away by Robotnik when he fled and relocated to a new facility built the exact same as the previous one. While there, she was used as the basis for one of Robotnik's many robotic replicas designed to infiltrate the Freedom Fighters. Soon after creating the robotic duplicate, Robotnik left the real Fiona to die in a prison cell.
[edit] Escape and Life as a Treasure Hunter
After a long period of imprisonment, Fiona realized that, like at the lab, no one would rescue her, and thus she became determined to do so herself. Through long, grueling attempts she managed to dig an escape tunnel from her cell, eventually reaching freedom outside. The first person she encountered was Nic the Weasel, a bounty hunter on a treasure hunting mission.
Fiona and Nic both became involved in treasure hunting and thievery, which soon resulted in a rivalry with Rouge the Bat. The two later were joined by Bean and Bark, all of whom suffered defeat in underground fighting tournaments thanks to Rouge. Eventually she and Nic returned to the mining camp to see if they could find anymore Power Gems; unfortunately, the lab door was locked and neither could open it.
Fiona remained somewhat embittered by her past encounter with Sonic and Mighty. This became apparent after Nic decided to gain Mighty's assistance to gain access to the laboratory, as Fiona explained how she felt abandoned by the two. While exploring the camp, they discovered several unused robotic replicas of the Freedom Fighters. Eventually they reached the door, and Mighty forced it open. Inside they discovered a Power Gem - as well as Ray, who had apparently been stuck in a form of suspended animation by the gem. Despite herself, Nic destroyed the gem in order to free Ray.
[edit] Freedom Fighter
Sometime after Sonic's apparent death due to the Quantum Dial, Fiona joined the Freedom Fighters. She acted in a general capacity, showing both computer and medical skills. Upon Sonic's return from space, Fiona accompanied the Freedom Fighter task force sent to Old Megaopolis to prevent Eggman from launching nuclear missiles at both Station Square and Knothole. While on board the FFS-M2, Fiona asked Rotor if they should all have space suits, as the ship flew to Mobius's outer atmosphere. Later, she provided medical attention to Sonic, who'd been wounded by Eggman's robotic "daughter" Mecha. Fiona was also the one to explain to Sonic that Antoine and Bunnie had broken up during his absence in space.
Fiona accompanied the Freedom Fighters during their mission to an ancient laboratory to discover the cause of severe seismic activities. She briefly left the group in an attempt to hot-wire the lab's systems, though due to its self-defenses she was unable to. At one point, Fiona, Rotor and Bunnie had all been electrocuted by the lab's self-defense systems, but were saved in time by Tommy Turtle. After, Fiona discovered a heavily powered rifle, but was informed by Rotor the Freedom Fighters never resorted to gun-like weapons.
Fiona accompanied the Freedom Fighters to the Nanite City to rescue Bunnie, and was weary of working with Snively to prevent the nanites from spreading. During a period of rest, Fiona explained her long-held resentment towards Sonic due to him seemingly abandoning her in the prison camp, and that after witnessing his selfless efforts battling the Quantum Dial, developed a sense respect for him, and realized he didn't deliberately leave her behind all those years ago. Following this, she helped the Freedom Fighters to defend Mina Mongoose from a series of Bombs attacking her concert, and she was present at the Brain Trust's examination of the discovered Nanites.
Following this, Fiona and Sonic began a relationship. The two were discovered secretly flirting near a bush by Tails, and after Fiona explained she felt no romantic connections to him like she did Sonic, Tails left angrily. The same day, Sonic managed to prevent Anti Antoine from killing Prince Elias, and after sending him back to Anti Mobius, Fiona and Sonic began officially dating.
When Bean and Bark attacked Freedom HQ and it was obvious that they knew Fiona, shades of her past were revealed and, despite her assistance in stopping the attack, seeds of doubt were planted among the minds of the Freedom Fighters. When the Chaotix needed info on Rouge, Fiona reluctantly explained her past encounters with the bat, as well as her past involvements in crime. Sonic continued to support Fiona, but eventually it became more and more obvious that something was going on, as Fiona developed a tendency to disappear and skip missions.
this isnt a joke
