Update

In case any of you guys (my watchers) have artwork categorized as "mature" blocked on your account, and some of my art has suddenly disappeared for you, it is because I went back and changed the rating on some of them.
It is something that I find ridiculous I have to do, but I just received an auto generated note from FA that stated they had changed the rating on one of my pictures because the male dog in the image has a sheath. :/ It also said that I needed to take a gander through my gallery, and change any other images I may have with the same criteria to "mature".
I did not realize this was part of the terms and conditions, because like most people, I didn't read through all of them. I admit that was my fault. But I still think that it is pretty stupid. These dogs/wolves aren't even anthro. Of course if they were, I would have considered it mature, and rated it as such. But these are just regular animals, and that is a regular body part that is there, and you can't avoid seeing. Any child who has seen a male dog in real life, has seen a sheath. It's not as though I was displaying it (in any of my images) in a sexual way. I just personally think its weird to draw them without one. There aren't many other ways to differentiate males from females when you are drawing a feral, semi realistic animal, whos species doesn't have any sexual dimorphism present.
Anyway, enough ranting from me. Just wanted to update you guys, and get this off my chest. It's just very frustrating to me, as now my totally kid friendly art, will not be visible to that audience, or anyone else who is more selective about the art they choose to view. I never intended my art to be inappropriate :(
