Congratulations, FA!

General
Today is the day that everyone in your userbase gains the respect of the general public! That's right, with the kiddie-fuckers now cast out of our glorious golden palace of normalcy, each and every one of us has been awarded a Badge of Acceptance.
What does this Badge of Acceptance do? I'm glad you asked! Now, any time somebody questions why you're an incredulous nerd who spends a lot of time looking at animal pictures, you simply have to brandish your badge and reply, "There's no need to fear, I'm a normal person just like you!" If someone asks about all that perfectly respectable rape piss gore porn you've got, you just flash that badge and all your worries are abated.
After they see it, they'll embrace you just like you've been waiting for all these years when the blight of dirty pedophiles (by which we of course mean hebephiles and ephibophiles, they're all child molesters, after all) held us back, that single pinion of shame on our reputation as a whole!
The nightmare's over, folks, we're all normal!
Or.
Or maybe...
Or maybe it was a purely financial problem and I'm projecting my personal shortcomings onto a demographic of easy targets for my own deluded self-satisfaction.
PS: Grab my underage stuff while it's still around. FA mods can have fun rooting through my massive gallery, I've got more important things to do. Like watch GaoGaiGar.

Dude.
Humor is timing.
(well someone had to say it)
But hey, FA's a business. Money's money.
Canadian laws and all that. AP simply does not want the [i]slightest whiff of association with that sort of material. They said what FA generates in revenue wouldn't cover one day's worth of legal costs should this attract the attention of the authorities.
Well then why the hell do they care? Banning cub wont solve anything.
Payment company: "So before we agree to manage funds for your site, why were you dropped by your last payment company?"
FA: "They decided cub porn is child porn and didn't want to be associated with that."
Payment company: "...."
So:
A) "But we put new policies in place to adhere to a new "no kiddie porn" standard.
or
B) "But we stuck to our guns. Now where do I sign?"
Choosing option B means NO payment company will accept them at all. It'd be far easier to start up a different site without a past history.
Damnit FA. Just... Damnit. Stop being a dick.
(Oh well, you're probably right, gore and scat are probably next.)
Are you gonna post your stuff elsewhere?
Still, whoever runs AlertPay needs a swift kick in whichever set of genitalia they may have.
So i assume that kick will be directed into their bloated asses.
Also, some of us pervert the Sonic Universe to fit aging Sonic Fans. xD So I mean.. what exactly is normal? True finally they removed that diaper/toddler fetish, but they kept the cute/chibi rule in place. So you can draw like, for example Tails and Cream any time you want, because you can just go: "Hah! No! It's a Chibi version!"
This whole cub issue when it comes to that, can confuse alot of ppl, so let me tell them what it all means.. Basically they are banning Diaper/baby and Toddler related cub art. You can still do cute/chibi versions of certain characters and toons, like for example: Tails and Cream.
All and all I can agree with you, yes they got rid of what they should of gotten rid of and left those particular fetishes to raunchier sites. However, I disagree when you say we are all: "Normal" Normal is personal preference and perception of reality.
To one person, 'normal' is shoving a banana up their rear and howling at their refrigerator light. lol
Normal is the avarage of all human beings not a personal preference :P
An inkbunny is fine too . . .
*popcorn.gif*
I'm just gonna make my own website with a comment system, not like anyone really pays attention to my art here, on storm, or dA anywho.
Though I almost never draw any kids or anything without tits in general, so this really doesn't apply to me. LOL
Have a Jelly Baby on me! ^w^
FA needs a bailout! @_@

CRUSH CAPITALISM
DEATH IS A PREFERABLE ALTERNATIVE TO COMMUNISM.
SEE HOW FAR THEY GET MISSING A PRIMARY COLOUR
THEY CAN'T EVEN HAVE ORANGE
OR PURPLE
But only the eye hurting shades.
The other ones are lost in my couch.
Sigh...
I'll miss all the Gwen art.
This really hit a nerve with you. I hope you feel better soon.
Just like when Chewfox went on Tyra Banks and admitted that instead of dressing like maids or cops or what have you they dressed in fursuits for sex for her and her BF, you had all sorts of furries instantly running and hiding and letting that impression stand instead of correcting it. When you let the ignorant run things you never get anything positive done. Plus those cheering act like it's some moral victory because a fetish that they didn't like (unlike their upstanding ones of course that the public will heartily embrace...) got removed when legal and financial problems by a third party eliminated it, and as someone else noted FA's owner could easily end up with 'ewww you have adult furry stuff we deem it all unwholesome and deny you' then how happy will they be?
Gwen isn't a child. She's secretly 9,000 years old, because she has a magical power that enables her body to never age.
EHUAEHAEHUEAHUAEHUAEHUEHAAEHUEU
"Does that count as the same level of violence?" The prosecutors said no.
Your idea is more sound than you know...
I've not heard one good thing about Alertpay yet since people have been switching to it. Seems to me, if we can find FA a donation site and sponsor who doesn't give a crap about what's on the site, then this would have all been completely avoided.
Every right thinker agrees with me. Everyone else is sick and should be imprisoned or humanely terminated for society's sake. Can't be too safe.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found
I've got a little list — I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!
And I assume you're being sarcstic, anyway.
Its a shame, really. Your little Psychoanalyst was adorable D: AND NOT IN THE SEXYAL SENSE OF THE WORD EITHER.
Oh! For a project, you should whip up a badge of normalcy. Its prolly made of cheese.
Nnn. I was wondering when/how you'd respond. Well played, I think. *smokes bubble pipe*
And Gwen, really, has shown up in very few actual adult situations...
There may be a couple pieces of yours that'll disappear, but I don't think TOO many will be lost. You're not exactly the same breed of porn deviant as some of the worse-off folk, that's for sure. x3
Poor FA. If only this sort of thing didn't need to happen. A lot of heartache would be spared... But hell, I'd take it over a lack of funding any day of the week.
And I STILL wonder about 'hyper' youngn's and where they fall into it. Little person, sexually mature body? It's as confusing as ever.
Nobody CARES if you approve. THAT is the point of the journal. It would've happened whether you liked it or not. Get it now? Greeeaat.
Ridiculous.
Bondage, S&M, masochism and even scat, while very out there can be done in real life without neccessarily causing harm.
Add to that, that stuff like inflation, transformation and expansion are physically impossible, and that snuff/gore are things I find terrible in fiction too and you have little differences that undermine that argument.
See, the problem with your argument is that you're trying to assign some kind of solid value to one fetish's repugnance, when in reality that value is completely subjective. There's a different between an opinion and a fact.
If someone consents to be physically harmed in some way, and is an adult and of sound mental health then they're a little odd but that's their buisiness, harming others without their consent in any way shape or form is far more objectionable.
(Full disclosure: I don't like zombies, but I would be against banning them. I see a zombie picture, I just close it and go look for stuff I like.)
Sad.
Man, the mods have a huge task ahead of them to remove all the 'offending' cub art that this site contains...
any thoughts on where you'll post future works that's "too hot for FA?"
Also, LOL at the CP ban. I don't think that much of your art would be removed, but be prepared, becaused there is a shitstorm in progress.
but I did forget to mention I love this journal in all it's whittyness <_<
That said, I hope you stick around. I never really comment, but I like seeing your work here...and can't stand the alternative sites.
I'm really sorry to hear that Nori *hugs* Not just for you, either, but for myself as well x.x Although, there seems to be nothing about cubs in stories, so that's better at least, right? x.x
Can... Can we just say that Gwen is of age? I mean, she's depicted as being mature enough, so a little fudging wouldn't hurt, I'm sure. Even though she'd still be acceptable, I still wouldn't wanna lose any pervy Gwen, or any of your other younger things either :<
Also, if you haven't already planned to, it may be interesting for her to comment on the situation.
Oh I hope not!
Keep th' faith baby - and I mean it.!
>>WAT DO?
GA-GA-GA-GA-GA-GA-GA-GAOGAIGAR!
Your taste in animation is fine indeed.
So will you be seeking alternate means of posting cub pics? I would hate to see it all go away.
I don't know, I think this sucks, but better do that than having FA down. If the hosters of the server are smart, they can pull of an "exhentai" sort of thing so that cub artists have somewhere to put their cub porn.
The law in country X says paedophilia is illegal whether it's a real child being abused or an imaginary one. (Whether this is right or not is open to debate, but that's the way it goes.) Site Y, located in country X, receives money from sites which, among other things, distribute indecent images of totally fictional children. Site Y is on uncomfortable ground here - they could be open to prosecution if they receive money which derives from the sale and distribution of what in country X constitutes paedophile material - so they freeze the accounts of their infringing clients until they ensure that said material is not distributed on that website.
Canada isn't about to ban anything else (the only country I know of where BDSM is de-facto illegal is the UK) so the chance of further restrictions is low.

The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States upholds and amends a preexisting right to keep and bear arms which was also affirmed by the English Bill of Rights of 1689 (the backstory being that King James denied Protestant subjects that right while granting it to Catholics - the Bill of Rights reinstated it for everyone equally by explicitly reaffirming it to Protestants) and which ultimately dates back further than legal precedent can reliably probe (the Assize of Arms 1181 is often mentioned, but it all ends up being "since time immemorial").
Anyway, it's worth qualifying my use of the term "de-facto illegal". Guns are de-facto legal, but good luck getting hold of one legally; likewise, BDSM is de-facto illegal, but it's not like there's going to be a massive police raid because you used cuffs and a spreader bar on your wife.
HEY.
It's still not as awesome as the badge I won from Max in a poker game.
That combined with The Hound Dog makes the Heavy look like a big fat cop gone awesome.
