[ANGRY RANT WARNING]

Because fuck artistic freedom and screw sticking to your guns, right? We gotta appeal to a bunch of spoiled, wining, entitled furries who couldn't be bothered to simply type a few words into a blacklist/put a filter on.

"Butt cubz pornz depict sexualized children." And snuff porn depicts sexualized death/murder, gore porn glorifies violence/mutilation, rape depicts glorified rape, torture porn glorifies torture, etc, all of which on a moral/legal standpoint are just as bad as "cub porn", yet no one calls for their banning, nor tries to compare them to the real world equivalent. "Because those aren't real, they're fictional!" WELL SO'S FUCKING CUB PORN, YOU CLOSE MINDED, IGNORENT FUCKING TOOLS.

Before you say it, I know, they had to do what was in the site's best interest/favor, and what's best for a site is appealing to the "majority", and looking good in a public sense, but in this case it was less the "majority" and more the vocal minority that wouldn't stop screaming and crying until they got their way.

Did you see mountain of IB journals and twitter feeds of people declaring that they'd stop using the site if they banned explicit cub? (Not gonna say not at all, cause of course there may be a few, but for the most part) No, because those artists are so used to being demonized and screwed over at this point they gave up the moment the whole debunkle started. But for most everyone else, what did they do? Calmly voice their opposition to such content being posted on the site in any way(for whatever reason)? Of course not, one half started going to every social media outlet they could find and rallied up drones to start slandering the site's name for allowing "child pornography", and the rest (most of which don't have/would have never made an account anyways) started bombarding their twitter with messages of "if you keep allowing this, i'm not using your site".

As upset as I am with the outcome, I guess I can't really put the admins on blast for this, they were in hot water while dealing with a bunch of babies that were threatening to sink their newly formed ship, so they took the path of least resistance, at this point I just hope this whole mess doesn't... further tarnish their reputation.

In the end I guess crap like this just goes to show how toxic this community/fandom really is...
