I've been reading lots of journal entries relating to the recent TOS issues. On the whole, I'm quite glad to see that most (actually, I think all) of my watch list is staying around.

Folks should remember that artwork that already could be construed as cub sex was already allowed on the site. The only criterion was sexual maturity, originally.

Now, assuming the filters are successful, that artwork will be hidden from those that don't go through the process along with the artwork that would have been deleted prior to this decision.

That's not all, though. Now, anything that enough people consider offensive will find itself under a filter.

How is this not an improvement?

The only thing that people can take up issue with now, in my opinion, is the very fact that this artwork will still be allowed here. And to those that found the previously-allowed 'cub' artwork to be offensive, well...this decision is no change at all, except that now that art is going to become invisible.

See? I just used reason to disprove everyone! If only it mattered. XD

I know people will still act with their supposed beliefs in mind, or perhaps just behave unreasonably (an old standby). So...I guess it's good that those people identify themselves, because I'm not sure if I would want to risk dealing with them.

Hooray for the admins and their conduct on this issue, especially Dragoneer!

And to everyone that's staying, you have my thanks.
