Let's face it, there's really one reason everyone's on this website: the porn. Now, maybe for some of you that's not true, maybe you're on here for a completely different reason. But for 99 people out of 100 reading this, it's going to be for the porn. Isn't it sad that you spend hours on a truly remarkable work of art or a story and get 2 views on it, but slap a mature content filter (or even better an adult content filter) on it and suddenly they come swarming in like flies. I mean... really? Are we all THAT desperate for porn? (Watch them all say yes in the comments below.) But just THINK about it for one second. Why is it we don't really give the regular content its due credit? There can be fantastic works of art out there that nobody pays attention to simply because it's clean. You're missing out on HALF the submissions uploaded to furaffinity daily! Just take a moment one day and turn on the mature content filter and see what you can find simply by looking at general content submissions. You'll be surprised by how much better the artwork and stories get, and you'll even notice some music and photography has been uploaded to this site! Take a day for yourself and look around is all I'm saying.
I admit, I too am guilty of going on porn-reading sprees and not giving the time of day to a story that doesn't promise to jack off in my face, but as an author I know how infuriating it can be when my most heartfelt story that I worked so hard on gets trampled on.
And even when I post adult stories, so frequently the jerks reading them don't even bother to comment after wiping the semen off with a dirty sock.
