Staying and why
19 years ago
I'm staying because there's no-where else to go.
DA: Fuck no.
SA: kidding right?
YG!: Anthro ban.
VLC: Not a community site.
Furplz: is that even still being worked on?
The way this whole shit-storms been handled disgusts me, both sides have posted hateful things and very little considered debate has occured. The staff and the users should have done better. (I've not even read 1% of all this crap and its sickening.)
For those of you leaving over this, well I respect and understand your descision and you will be missed.
For those of you telling them to GTFO/STFU/don't let the door hit your ass on the way out/etc, maybe you should take your own advice and STFU. Try looking at it from their perspecifive, many people have valid reasons as to why cub porn disgusts them, not everyone shares your interests.
As for my views on all this. Personaly, I find cub art uncomfortable (dependant on the ages of those involved. 16/17, no problem, that's legal. 13-15, ok if with others their own age but not younger or much older and not explicit <as that's natural>, any younger and hell no.)
I don't care if 'they are animals and everyone knows animals are sexually mature at age 3,' last I checked, sexually mature animals look like adult animals because... they are adults in their species. Drawing them age 3 would be a few months old in their life spans. Also, your drawing humanoids, therefore they should be following a humanlike developement timeline (and humans are a species of animal anyway.)
Cub art is no more important to me than any other extreem fetish, they are all as repulsive/acceptable as the individual chooses to find them. A child/womans life is no more or less important than that of an adult/mans (something that anoys me about new reporting, where they specifically state how may of the dead were children/of # nationality.)
In closing....
To the staff: FIX THE DAMN FILTER SYSTEM.
To the users: show some damned understanding for each other.

Sad that people are doing that, hell, I got told to grow a brain since I told those people to grow up. And yes, the filter system here needs to be fixed, its much imperative now.
Some people just like to be jerks.
No-one was gonna ban anthro (except for YG!,) this is about 'cub' porn. The depiction of anthro children in sexual positions.
Well their explanation for banning anthro art, is that anthro is not a part of Yaoi (which is an anime term,) and that the site was about yaoi, not just general gay art and as such was never intended to be a place for anthro art.
Basically, the fur users/artists had grown to such a degree on the site that we comprised more than half the users and about 3/4 of the sites art. The site had a great system of filters so no-one had to see anything they didn't want to (except when things were labled wrong) and they just didn't want to support our art due to the bandwidth it took.
If anyone was to make a furry version of YG! it would have been increadibly popular (it was, by far, the best designed art gallery i've found.)
