Anybody else leaving Discord because of the ToS ban on cub porn? It's already bad enough that those faggots have been trying to ban servers with loli/shota.

Thank you so much to e621.net for being one of the few Websites that allow this kind of stuff, because it feels like my avenues are being squeezed extremely dry by this oppressive trend and activity. There is little justice to pressure people for supporting artistic freedom anymore.

People want to limit cub AND loli/shota artist's freedom of expression. I know my rights, and what I draw is not illegal in the US since it has artistic value and depicts non-fictional characters, always. Nothing will change my mind about that; I know that for a fact. Pedophilia is just a fetish, just like any other fetish, and is should be treated as such, and not kink shamed.

Now I know loli/shota, or more specifically, depictions of DRAWN (or 3D generated) artwork of minors is actually illegal in some countries, but I just want to focus specifically on US law, since that's where I live.... It's for this reason I can't use InkBunny, because they ban sexual depictions of minors as humanoids, but support cub, which I find really strange and contradictory to the more important goal of promoting artistic freedom. It sucks that is was never based in the US.

A sole purpose of an artist to be able to advertise, sell, or publish content that other people are interested in. But if there is really no marketplace for people who demand drawings of this stuff, and if Websites and other furry social service operators decide that they agree with these "normal" furries, then it's going to encourage these kind of rewrites in a Website's ToS, and shun the quirkier and kinkier furries, like me, and leave fewer avenues.

The state of the furry fandom really is at its saddest when people have to do this shit, even by our "own kind", or not!

It is just really awful that so many judgmental people kink shame others. Please NEVER change the ToS to ban cub porn or loli/shota, you are one of the few avenues I have left for publishing my art, where fun-loving, decent and smart fans would even bother to notice me...

Drawing children = illegal, drawing murder = not illegal.
I'll never get the double standard.

They say watching violent movies/playing violent video games doesn't increase the violence, on the contrary it decreases it, can't the same be applied to drawings then? If they are afraid of pedos, pedos will fap to pictures instead of going after real children.

Then there's "if he watches it he will want to try and do it" argument, but same applies to violence, does it not? RL GTA is quite popular on the news.

Yeah, rants never go anywhere productive, and we have had enough threads about "X page bans Y content" to last us a lifetime.
