Returning to FA, Rebuilding my Gallery, and FC 2025
Posted 8 months agoAfter recent news of Fur Affinity revising its upload policy, I have deceided to return. I commend the FA staff for trying to set things right after alienating a good chunk of their user base. While FA hasn't completely regained the trust of AB/DLs, it's a step in the right direction.
With that said, I will be rebuilding my gallery soon. Stay tuned! 🙂
My boyfriend and I will be attending Further Confusion 2025 this year (this will be his first time). If you see me suiting, don't be afraid to say hello (hugs and photos are welcome).

FA's New Policy and How It Targets AB/DL Artists
Posted 10 months agoFur Affinity updated the infamous Upload Policy 2.7 today, adding the following amendments. Instead of simply listing them, I would like to talk about each one in detail...
"Minors may not have detailed bulges or outlines of normal or hyper genitalia, clothed or otherwise."
This is 100% understandable. Visible bulges on minors might attract the wrong kind of attention.
Minors may not be depicted as pregnant.
This policy used to exclude adolescents, citing the film Juno as an example of teenage pregnancy in a serious, non-sexualized context. Apparently it's just a blanket ban now, so even if you're trying to offer serious commentary on a very real issue, you can't.
Minors may not be shown wearing messy (depicted as brown, yellow, leaky, lumpy with excrement, visible wetness/soiled indicator, etc.) diapers. This does not apply to big or puffy clean diapers.
I understand that diaper usage is definitely not for everyone (even I have my limits), but it does have a very large audience. While bodily functions can indeed be the focus of sexual gratification, not everyone views them as such. Not to mention that diapers are specifically made for the purpose of collecting bodily waste. What's next? Banning depictions of used tissues?
Minors may not be depicted relieving themselves or in content focused on them using the restroom.
I can understand where this is coming from, but it still feels very harsh. If you're trying to tell a slice of life story where someone is being potty trained or trying to find a bathroom at the mall (or even in the wilderness), good luck.
The focus (e.g. zoomed in, primary part of the content) of the content may not be on specific body parts of a minor, such as their feet, groin, butts, clothed or otherwise. This does not apply to content where the focus on these parts is coincidental.
I guess anything can be "coincidental". If a character is in gym class, then you better not show a close-up of their tennis shoes as they finally make that last hurdle jump!
Characters that have been regressed to being minors, physically or mentally, may not be depicted breastfeeding, being born/unbirthed, or having their diapers changed.
This one is just fucking stupid. First off, "real" regression is entirely fictional (hypnosis can put someone at ease, but it can't give them the mindset of a literal infant). Second, plenty of adults breastfeed as a form of role-play (or as a kink), and they fully consent to the practice. Third, being "unborn" (or born twice) is another thing that you can't do in real life. Finally, a regressed character having their diaper changed is part of the fantasy. It's been a popular cartoon gag since at least the 1930s (Hanna-Barbera's "Baby Puss" is a good example).
From what I can gather, FA is either misguided, misinformed, or has an active disdain for AB/DL artists. I would not be surprised if the site is sold after the current owners "clean it up".
If you need a new gallery site, I highly recommend SoFurry (sofurrybeta.com), as it is very feature rich and is currently in the process of being rebuilt.

The Fall of FurAffinity
Posted 12 months agoThe Romans. The Ottomans. Blockbuster. Empires rise and fall, and FurAffinity's glory days are far behind it. Without Dragoneer's leadership, the site's moderation has only gotten worse, and it feels like ABDLs are not welcome here anymore.
I don't know what site will be FA's replacement as the ultimate furry art hub, but a few notable artists have already been active on Weasyl.

Order 66
Posted 2 years agoWith the current politics surrounding FurAffinity, I cannot in good faith continue to host anything here. FA has taken a hard stance against underage characters in sexual situations (as they should), but they seem to be abusing their power by applying it to anything that they object to. It's only a matter of time before they execute Order 66 and exterminate the Jedi ban any depiction of baby clothes (including diapers) because it might be used as fetish fuel.
I have cleared out my entire gallery, since I don't want to run the risk of getting banned. Seeing Dragoneer trying to spin this mess in any positive direction is absolutely embarrassing! Like the Roman empire, the once mighty FurAffinity is now a shadow of its former self. The higher the pedestal, the harder the fall, and FA fell for a million fucking miles!

Posted 7 years agoFC 2018: I Could Not Have Asked for More
Posted 7 years agoWell... okay. I could have asked for a little more. The convention book was really bad this year. There was barely any artwork at all (outside of ads for other events).
I met up with a lot of old friends, including
iedino, 
dan_raccoon, 
catmonkshiro, 
zen_fetcher, and 
marcimcadam (who happly accepted her gift of chocolate pretzels). I was also invited to 
nachohusky's babyfur party, which was a lot of fun.
Also... fursuits! So cute and fluffy and huggable! :-D
