FurAffinity isn't as terrible as we all thought. This is progress. Progress is possible, you guys. We don't all have to abandon ship.
Much like America is right now, this site is run by a few far right aligned, nazi-apologist, anti-PC persons. Yet the majority of Americans (and users on FA!) are good people who do not identify with these groups and want equality for all. We want Nazi symbols banned. We want furryraiders and alt-right members to cower in fear instead of being out in the open.
This isn't what we all wanted, which was a ban of all Nazi symbols, in fiction or otherwise, but it's an important first step. It proves the staff of FA are open to changes in policy. We can continue to strive for the community to be better.
Ideally we could all migrate to another site, but the fandom is so disjointed with the sole exception of FA. So many artists and content creators rely on FA as their source of income and can't risk just leaving it entirely. But I think this is a harbinger of things to come. They feel the pressure. Maybe things will work out in the end?
Ps for every comment I get that antifa is a terrorist organization, I laugh a little harder. If you believe that you're stupid. Simply put. You are stupid and probably alwaya will be. Go back to 3rd grade and then maybe try reading real news and not propaganda. :P

Also
ur Affinity provides a platform for our users to exchange ideas and works of art that include variety of different themes. We understand that some users may create content that is political, religious, or use themes that may be perceived as offensive. However, artistic expression that may be offensive to some users does not necessarily mean the content violates our rules. Indiana Jones would not be who he is without his greatest enemies. Maus would not be the tragic story it is without being able to show the horror.
Fictional expression should be differentiated from the committing of real life acts. If you believe that the content posted is not intended to be fictional, grossly promotes hate and violence against a group of people, or otherwise violates any of our other rules and policies, we encourage you to report it so that our staff may review it.
We are an art site and a source of joy for many; we are committed to preserving this open, supportive community and may suspend and/or ban users who actively attempt to make Fur Affinity into a political or religious battleground. This is a particularly upsetting form of trolling and will be dealt with severely.
They're not gonna do shit.
