FA gallery NSFW purge
2 years ago
11th October Edit: turns out staff don't like my attempt at avoiding having to delete the submissions in their entirity, so... yeah, go to my accounts on other sites if you wanna see my full galleries, because this site ain't sane enough for me to feel safe doing so here with anything above a General rating anymore.
So, I finally got a response from the team working through the absolute mountain of gallery check tickets they had, and here's their response, with the context of me having provided links of the references for my Mews since they couldn't even be bothered to go through my gallery.
"Thank you for the links, and for your patience!
All of the submissions that you have linked are acceptable per our site policies and community guidelines. While Mew drawn in their canonical form isn't acceptable in NSFW scenarios, these Mew characters are, provided that they keep their more adult proportions as seen in the linked submissions.
Thank you for being a part of our community!
[system]: Closing the ticket. "
Those aren't adult proportions, those are semi-anthro forms, but that borderline insult aside, this has shattered what little hope of them recovering some sense of, well, sense, that I had left.
As the title of this journal implies, it means I will remove EVERYTHING that is Mature or above in rating on my FA as a sort of protest, with the sole exception being references, in a few hours.
Now don't panic, the art I've commissioned is on several other sites I set up right around the time of the FA self-oof, along with many recent comms I haven't uploaded here because of avoiding uploading anything NSFW here since then, and in higher image quality than their FA versions at that.
I repeat, there are no images that will simply disappear from my overall online galleries, you'll just have to go somewhere else than FA to view the full splendor of my galleries, and speaking of, I'll put the links to my other accounts below.

All three of these have every image on my FA account, in chronological order, with their descriptions, tags and titles completely 100% intact, minus some very slight adjustments in descriptions regarding links to alts and a few spelling mistakes and such.
As for the images in question here on FA, I won't be deleting the submissions, instead I will be replacing the image files and moving the submissions to Scraps, leaving comments, faves and the like completely untouched.

Mew is just a character where one can go for a wide variety of designs. Your versions in NSFW drawings tend to be significantly taller than wide. Mew is often drawn almost like a circle and then that can be interpreted as a child, I suppose...
It's all speculations of course, but staff will not be affected by such protest as you propose. They seem to be happiest with man-shaped anthros alone. So there's only for you to loose through this move and not to win, if you ask me...
Also, it doesn't matter if the staff will be affected, I'm doing it anyways because I have standards and also don't want to risk having my account banned by a bs strike over something with blatantly adult characters.
The people pushing for restrictions like this have a striking tendency to be the sort to constantly move goalposts forever until porn's eradicated entirely, anyways.
By hiding the art you do even more than what the people pushing for restrictions desire :/ Like you move the goalpost yourself since you have been told that your works are not past it...
And that besides, I've already planned to do this from the moment the rule change happened, only reason I'm not doing as you said is because I don't want this account banned due to a significant amount of history and records with it.
Also, staff goalposts are completely unknown because they refuse to take a clear, precise stance on where the line goes, making it completely impossible to judge with acceptable certainty whether something would pass or not, only made exponentially worse with inconsistent rulings where depending on mods, something that is a pass for one mod gets struck down by another.
Tis a shame, but I support ya in your little protest. It's ridiculous that they're being so infinitely anal about stuff that's so nebulous to enforce (and is arguable if it's even worth enforcing) when the rest of the site is such a degrading fossil that it's not even funny. Priorities I suppose. I'll be sure to keep up with you on Weasyl, and I look forward to seeing your Mews in the future o7
