Witch hunt...
4 years ago
When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe. – Frederic Bastiat
Witch hunt...
The funny thing about witch hunts... is they always find witches... without exception... they always find them... What are the odds?
Gather round all and I shall tell you a tale of ancient days and new dark times. When I first got on line centuries ago, a met a few likeminded folks. In chats or on mucks we talked and RP'ed a bit, and were happy with that. It a moment of weakness I confessed to those friends that I wrote naughty stories, and they asked to read them. I was reluctant to say the least, for as most of you know I'm just a poorly education hillbilly. Add to that the odd fetishes I have, well you all know by now heh. Anyway I showed them my work, and they enjoyed it so I began to share with a very few friends. One of whom set up a group on yahoo... I kid you not... Yahoo had groups back in the day. However soon those vanished and so my friends began to tell me that I should post my stories on some site. Once again I was very reluctant, but I was talked into posting my stories here on FA. No one seemed to notice... I was sooooooo relieved! And so I posted my nasty little stories, my very few friends got to read and enjoying them. And I was happy... and then a strange thing began to happen... folks who I didn't know began to read and like my stuff. This was very unexpected... and to be honest disturbing at first. So I tried my best to be friendly and kept right on working. Over time I gain more and more watchers/readers, who expanding my horizons and I thank them for that. You are all sweeties... *LOVE* to you all... But now times have changed and I feel I can no longer post my work here. By the time you read this, my paged will be wiped of stories. I will still be around as a lurker... watching the art of those I have come to know and love. But this place has become a hostile place for my own work, and so it will be absent for it.
I've been posting stories here on FA for over a decade, and from the very start I have used the word Filly to denote a virgin equine female. Mare to denote a female who has been mated and bred, at times with offspring at times without. I used the words colt and stallion in the same manner for equine males. I have use the word Young... as it should be use... to denote a furson who is not middle aged of old... or a furson who is young at heart ect... Now I am told the words filly, colt, and young are forbidden and will get me banned from this site. So they may take down this journal, and banned me again for uttering the forbidden words here... If this journal vanishes and I don't reply when you speak to me that is why. Some little Hitler who has some tiny bit of power, has gone NUTS well I'm all about cutting nuts off! The Spanish Inquisition has come knocking on my door... the appeals process is a lie... you appeal to your Inquisitor. Who tells you the same old thing no matter how reasoned or cogent your defense, "I didn't make a mistake... you are a hectic." Someone who reads my story I'm guessing once... picks out three words forbidden (Since when are words forbidden? Since a week ago Monday it seems.) without understanding that in that world words can and most likely will be defined differently from his own world. Without consideration of context... or anything else.
So to keep this from happening in the future, I will need some information. The Second Edition of the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use. As a writer of fiction I will need a comprehensive list of words that I am not allowed to use in a story. With roughly 50,000 more words that are considered obsolete or archaic. Provided those words are banned outright, if that is not the case I will need to know in what combination and or context those words can be used. Tos does not contain this information, so no help there please let me know at your earliest convenience.
Yeah right... they're not going to do that... so I'm not going to be posting anymore of my work on this site. I'm letting the folks who care know, so they will not be left flat footed waiting for more of my work that will not be coming. I will continue to write... and will post it other places if anyone wants to read it... For as long as there are website that allow stories to have words in them... If censorship destroys freedom and there are no websites left for me to post on, then I will write them and pull them in a file on my hard drive. For me this is a creative outlet, I created a world of beautiful anthro's some are old and some are young, some are beautiful others are ugly. But to me all are special all are valued, you destroy one of my creations because you have a small closed mind... I'm not gifting you with anymore... and let's be honest these are gifts given freely for others to enjoy. I'm not making you pay... and FA has benefited from my efforts. Now I know FA will not and does not care about me or my smut, and that is the way of the world.
But now I say to FA... to the owners and operators to the close minded mods... A Plague on all your houses... may you suffer the plague and die along with those you love... May your sheep fall dead in the fields, may your goats and cattle run dry and wither to dust... May your crops shrivel and eaten by locusts, may your first child be born with no tongue, may your second be born with no eyes and your third be born with a clubbed foot... (Wow those old gipsy ladies don't pull any punches) Now because I believe you should always leave them laughing... I shall quote Monty Python... "Go and boil your bottoms, son of a silly person! Ah blow my nose at you, I sneeze in your general direction."

So, being literally persecuted because SOMEONE decided a particular, common word and its usage, somehow offends and rustles their tender little feelings enough, that they can complain to the Mods/Owner(s), who instead of EDUCATING the tender little snowflake about how the real world works, and to go out and learn for their own good, choose to coddle and head-pat the sniveling little tyke, and THEN GO AFTER A LONG-ESTABLISHED Member?
Yeah, anyone should just ignore that kind of back-stabbing bullshit, right?
Your turn is coming. They're just not in a hurry for you.
Truly, we are #blessed.
I too have been considering taking my works elsewhere. I hope to still be able to follow you and your works where ever you decide to post them. Feel free to poke me if you ever need or want to chat, you know where to find me <3
Already met and got hammered by this *WOKE* stupidity, and like you exited, stage right in nearly every manner.
Only reason I still visit is because, hell, habit?
Well, that, and ALL the Olde Artists/Writers that I first encountered (also many long years ago), seem to have founded their works here and one other place I shall not mention, but which has also chosen to embrace the *WOKE* stupidity.
Yes, it's going to come back and bite them in their collective asses. Deservedly so.
I find the hypocrisy of turning on their own extra special, considering THIS site is a 'Fetish' fandom. Nothing like the meek and persecuted going after their own 'Witch Hunts' as you mentioned.
Stay well, and avoid the Knacker!
They're bending the meaning of words to find witches to hunt, these moral high grounds people have gone way too far. That is just insane.
There is a growing crowd of people who started to confuse fiction for reality and sadly, they've gotten louder and louder over the years and there isn't much you can do to shut them down whenever they decided to target / bully / slander someone.
the bad thing is this hypocrit moderators; there are tons of controvertial artwork, I feel like FA will end in 3 or four years, I've seen many artist go away;
at least, could you tell where will you post your stories?
For example you could try fanfiction.net. As long as you list that your story has certain content in it, they don’t give two fucks. I’ve even seen them except stories that literally don’t list really anything at all. Since your stuff is primarily pony/brony related, you could just file the story under MLP/OC
But since you don’t and it’s only an art/story form, it shouldn’t fucking matter what you post. it’s not REAL.
It sucks that youve gotten harassed. I’ve learned to ignore the haters over the years, but I’ve never been threatened with banning or anything.
I’ll miss your wonderful stories
