Patreon Hey all! I gotta say, Furaffinity's new rulings make me uncomfortable as hell. Not just because I fear my art being attacked for proportions or some shit just because it's a cartoonish, non-realistic artstyle, but I'm also rather unnerved by the... loopholes in the rules? Like, it's one thing for them to have a standard for "Non-Sexualized / SFW Fetishes" - I really don't agree with the idea that vore is that SFW, especially since I make vore art due to my fascination with it. It's why I'll never draw underage characters in vore, and why I am very uncomfortable with seeing it myself. But then you get to like, the other shit in there, and it really, really doesn't sit right with me. The entire fucking bit about "Minors under 13 may not be depicted pregnant", like.... you understand how pregnancy happens, right? Why the fuck isn't it "Minors may not be depicted pregnant" in general? That bothers the shit out of me. This feels much less like an attempt to "protect minors" and more like a way to have a vague ruleset they can use to get rid of anything they wish, regardless of if it's a problem or not. It's not helped by the fact that the mod team seems incredibly... disconnected from one another on what is and isn't okay.
But I don't think I'm going to leave Furaffinity. It's the only place where all my art is in one spot, and I'd rather not burn down the one spot I have where people actually come to look at my art.
However, I'd also really like to start spreading out and uploading in more spots in case Furaffinity truly, deeply goes into the shitter. I've already got an Itaku I upload to, a SFW Tumblr and a separate, vore-centric one, as well as some twitter art accounts, though not sure how long that last one will be around given the state of shit that's in.
But I'd also like to know what websites other people recommend I start posting on. I will go ahead and say right now though: Deviantart, Eka's Portal, and Inkbunny are NOT on the table. Deviantart knows what it did, Eka's makes me uncomfortable, and regardless of its ability to blacklist tags or whatever, I'd rather not touch Inkbunny if I can help it.
In any case, here are current websites I can be found on:
Tumblr (Strictly SFW)
Tumblr (Vore)
Itaku
Cohost (SFW, forgot I had this)
Cohost (NSFW / Vore)
Twitter (SFW Art)
Twitter (Vore Art)
Weasyl
Like I said earlier though; while I'm made rather uncomfortable by how inconsistent and weird this new TOS is given it feels much less like trying to protect minors - again, the exceptions for vore and teen pregnancy kinda make me wince - I'm not going to leave the site wholesale. However, it DOES have me evaluating potential other avenues to explore. And if you have any ideas for those potential avenues, please comment them down below.
EDIT: They might've changed their minds on the Teen Preg thing but that feels like a small ember compared to the fire that is banning entire categories of pokemon, digimon, and character proportions in general. Not to mention them stealthily changing the date at which these rules will kick into effect - from July 1st to June 7th?
They should just have more a blanket statement on underage characters in nsfw situations, the way they try to elaborate on that just makes it very confusing.
Also, this has been said a lot, but.. I'm really wondering why minors are allowed on this site at all. It doesn't seem like a safe place for them to begin with, and attempting to make it safe for this is making it UNSAFE for a large portion of it's adult community. It should be noted that this question was brought up by more than 50 individual users multiple times and neither the discord staff nor the directors were willing to answer it.
Anyway, I just did a gallery purge today removing all possible offending pictures because mostly of my patrons and commissioners comes from this site so if I don't wanna be a literal starving artist I'll have to play ball.
I'm also following you on Twitter and Itaku just in case. I'm The Cheshire Guy on both of them and I'm becoming more active there on the former, a "necessary evil" in the literal sense.
