Censored!

General
Hey guys,
as most of my watchers may know I recently uploaded 2 pics showing another site of me which I never dared to share before that openly, because I feared people´s reactions. This was my rubber me. I eventually decided to show those pics to you, because I wanted to present myself as a whole. And because I enjoy watching other rubber pups on here for myself I thought you guys might like to see mine as well. Nevertheless I know this is still a delicate theme. That´s why I started with uploading only 2 pics carefully to test out the community's reactions. And they were amazing! You guys were amazing! I got so many nice, encouraging words and I really want to say thank you for that! I really felt like uploading more of rubber Asko.
BUT..... then FA came and deleted those pics! I was told that the reasons for this intervention were displaying adult toys in use, my bulge and indecent clothing. Apparently those things are perfectly well when they are drawn, but doing them for real is a no-no. So no matter the reactions of the community (without which FA would be dead I think), no matter if you liked it or not the pics are gone. And I think that´s a SHAME, yes a SHAME. That´s why I´m writing this journal, plus I really want to say sorry for this censorship. If I just use the search function on the tag "butt plug" I instantly find drawn pics of hilarious big sex toys in use. Some of the pics aren´t even related to the furry-fandom a little bit. And still they are there. There are guys out there who like this stuff and I bet they´re not few. You guys liked my pics and they were showing a puppy, which is an animal obviously, at least. Giving people a platform where they are able to depict their sexual fantasies, besides so many other things of course, and disclaiming that they do those things for real is just hilarious.
If u want to share your opinion about this, if u have any other ideas or if u have things in mind that haven´t found consideration yet then please answer! I´d really love to bring this issue to people´s mind.

ok, that is not my fetish, but those pic were not bad.( i mean not evil like fa say)
Well I understand perfectly that you may be upset by this censorship.
As an ex fetishist ( Leather not rubber ^^ ) I also understand you honesty
and will to express yourself as you are. And I found it perfectly nice.
( under a 'ADULT' Rating ^^ )
I also REALLY understand the way you may feel.
Anyway we agree, by using this site that they may censor us.
I completely agree with you that FA present themselves as a freedom space.
and that censoring you is quite unfair.
I think you can perfectly post here pictures of yourself ( & friend why not )
without sexual explicit display to let know us the whole yourself.
And relay to specialist other sites for more explicit matters.
My best regards.
It´s true that we agree with the terms of use when we create an account here. But this doesn´t mean that we couldn´t change anything about them. This site was created by humans, hence humans can change it. FA lives with its community and if the demand of the community is strong enough FA can´t ignore it. Don´t get me wrong. I´m not that naive to think a single journal will do the job, but bringing this to peoples mind is a beginning.
Besides the pics I uploaded weren´t of really explicit content. Nobody has seen a toy in actual use, that´s just what people anticipated, but everything was hidden under rubber. And rubber is a perfectly normal material in our everyday-life.
I didn't saw your post as a militant act, my mistake. But I think that acceptance of other way of life is a real more global combat that in FA ( or others ) I mean, FA admin too have to deal with the rest of the societies. And if those societies doesn't evolve, neither will FA , even if they want it.
Anyway, as a militant act, I , of course, fully agree your path.
The censorship you were victim of, despite, actually your pictures seem not to be so explicit ^^
is a pretty good illustration of how some practices - orientations ... can be seen as "bad", "Immoral"... bla bla bla and so on ... by the crowd.
Even if not really displayed, the suggestion of the act is enough to cross the line of crowd's morality.
Anyway, glad to read you ^^
A global combat for acceptance always has to be far bigger than the same combat in a limited sub-culture. Especially when the wish of entire personal freedom falls on such a rich soil as the furry community. I never experienced more tolerance anywhere else. Thats why this blocking was that confusing for me. FA has the unique chance to set a strong sign for tolerance and freedom and it has the chance to do so as a pioneer in certain questions. Someone has to be first and thats not the entire world.
I dont think that it is the crowd who condemned this. Otherwise there would have been far less positive feedback. Such reactions of fear always come from very few individuals who only cry loud enough to impress the rest of the crowd.
I am also loyal, so I will not seek other partners than her.
It is a choice of live, and I assume it without regrets.
She also know my activities here and there for X rated arts and Role playing and trust me enough to accept it. And I will, of course not breack this trust.
I think also FA or other Furry sharing sites as place of sharing without bigot gazes on what we post / see . And I was quite surprised too to saw you were censored. That is why I think something went wrong somewhere into the Admin / Moderation of FA . Pressures from hosting ? I know few about the FA structure, but it seem strange they had censored you without a good ( or so called ) reason.
And of course, it would have been nice they were Pionner and militant for more acceptances and feedom, obviously they are not, or they have a limit.
And I join you into sadness to see it happen.
Well I use 'crowd' like I may use 'Mainstream' or 'general feeling of the society' If they are sheep ( following few individual's opinions ) or mob ... the result is the same, they edict the moral and frontiers of tolerance. That is why I think that moving the Red line is matter of cultural enlightment and education.
Anyway we found matching positions for many things ^^
Best regard!
Unfortunately it doesnt help me anymore if something went wrong with the moderation. All we can do now is hoping that at least one of the admin team reads those lines and introduces a new policy of tolerance for what people are.
Let´s hope that we could move the red line at least a few inches and thank you very much for this conversation and your comments!
Merry Christmas!
