Oh noes, the Cub Porn issue!!!

General
Because it's the big thing.
If you haven't heard, no more cub porn on FA.
I don't care. Never drew it, never liked it, never cared one way or the other. It's not technically illegal. It's all fantasy. If freaky people want to get their freak on by drawing freaky things, like super fat chicks, insects with tentacle gore, or sex with babies, that's their thing. Ew.
It's not about any American rights of expression, it's not about censorship and oppression, and it's NOT likely to go any further.
Huh? What? Why?
Because it's the PAYMENT PROCESSORS who are demanding this, not the law. And unless all you people want to manually write out checks to FA and send them via snail mail for your donations and advertisements, they need a way to accept money.
Why won't this extend to normal adult stuff? Because payment companies have no issue with adult stuff. Think about alllllll the pay porn sites out there. And the fetish sites, too! Payment processors KNOW it's bank, and some of them (PayPal excluded of course) are willing to bend their morals a bit to cash in on it. But THEY draw the line at kiddie porn. And for good reason. It's a legal minefield, and not worth the risk financially.
If you don't like the ban, go elsewhere. Join a different site that hasn't had their money stripped away because of your fetishes. Start your own Cub-Only pay site, and find out for yourself how difficult it is to get a payment processor to back you.
Me? I'm gonna stay right here and do my own thing and not care. I suggest you do the same. Unless you're a cub porn artist, in which case, best of luck to ya. Bye!

I've heard InkBunny is a popular alternative, if you must draw underage teens. I kinda understand - frankly I think the age for legal sex should the the same as the age for legal driving (since when they start one, you can't stop them from doing the other), just like I think the age for legal drinking should be the same as the age for joining the military. But I don't make the rules. If I did, the world would be a more chaotic place. Because I'm female, and all chicks are batshit crazy. We can't help it, it's all completely logical to us...
There have been so many good furs turning into drama llamas over this that it's refreshing to see someone with a level head about this very touchy topic.
and now I dont have to cringe every time i click browse...
You never know. There's some real weirdos out there...
Yep. ^_^;
You were linked to. I agree, btw.
What makes you so sure nothing else will happen now?
Great Journal btw Ksharra, if only the 170-something pages of forum stuff could be replaced by just that, the world would be a less herp-a-derpy place
