Many people will consistently work, speak, and fight against their own bests interests simply for the momentary dopamine drip their brain offers when they think they have the moral high ground.

We call these people "Fuckwits".

Well looks like E6 Just shot itself in the foot and buried it. This site is going to end up suffering and never recover and that is painfully sad to see as i love this site.

This was by far one of the worst decisions made here and things will only get worse...

"Our mission is to archive and distribute the best / strangest / most excellent furry-related artwork, except for stuff we and/or our vague cohorts find personally yucky, then go fuck yourself" isn't exactly as straightforward or ensuring.

Only the front-end, which archiving scripts don't need anyway. Still, my points stand. This is a gross breach of confidence in e621 as a platform. There were dozens of better approaches that, even with the same end-result, wouldn't have incurred nearly as much whiplash as a mass, unannounced, automated deletion of posts. I weep for all of the artwork that was permanently lost on this day. I pray that anyone, regardless of their opinion of the content in question, can at least recognize that burning digital books is never a good thing; no matter what side of the fence you are on. No slight to you, of course; merely a general observation.

While I am essentially unaffected by this change personally it is worrying for a couple reasons.

The admin mentioned there was a tight deadline to implement this change, was it really so tight that users couldn't have been forewarned?
A lot of the pictures uploaded here have dead sources, presumably many of the images deleted in this purge are now gone forever due to the choice to not warn the users.

Also it brings to question "what's next?", is feral next on the chopping block?
And what about pressure from copyright holders? There is a financial incentive to avoid that as well, so do we have to start worrying about big IP's like pokemon and my little pony (or especially litigious ones like nintendo IP's) becoming forbidden and mass deleted without warning?

Grim stuff, will have to start looking for alternatives.

Likely because of the Tag Child it was likely a take all these tags and delete them knee jerk reaction and people have to apply to reinstate on a case by case basis since fictional art is no longer fictional....

Not that there's a way to confirm if something needs reinstatement, when the original source is gone and you don't remember which post was which.

I have no clue how many of my uploads got incorrectly deleted, and no way to check.

/j soon, you wont be able to view visual art of any kind here, lest a horrible, nasty paraphilia boils up to the surface of your brain and turns you into a savage monster.

Good riddance.

i just cant believe theyd have the balls to still call themselves an archive after this. can you imagine if ao3 nuked all underage fiction?
the entire POINT of an archive is to host things that HAVE BEEN PURGED/WOULD BE PURGED FROM OTHER SITES. to PRESERVE THEM. purging content thats too... risky??? ON AN ARCHIVE? is an absolute fucking brainless move on the mods part, "business partners" or not.

remember that youll have no business partners if your site has no users.

darkle said:

The lack of warning is actually the biggest reason for it imo. The only reason not to give heads up before the ban is if they didn't want people to be able to archive this stuff. That or just being sloppy.

its impressive how the overwhelming majority here seems to hate the mods and disregard all comments and actions they ever made, as if their only reason for existance is screwing over the furry comunity that they do not belong

they cannot say no to their bussiness partners if they want this site to still be here next month, if you want to blame anyone besides the politicans of the united states, blame the leadership of the bussiness partners that are tryng to ´´´please´´´ two fundamentaly opossite sides

The fact that some people who are cheering this decision have bestiality and feral porn in their favorites is bizarre. As if that is more "moral" than cub porn...

Yup as a lot of things will get deleted and artists from long past either left the fandom or got rid of their stuff and no longer have access to it will be lost in the cross fire. That is what happens when you have knee jerk reactions rather then case by case though mis tagging has been rampant so who knows how many are collateral damage vs what really should be targeted.

you have feral pokemon porn in your favorites. will you be saying good riddance when thats banned too?

genjar said:
I'm just confused about why content like the crucial point in pool #3668 ended up deleted in the first place, when it had nothing nsfw.

automod shit itself and probably deleted it because it had the tags "young" and "human" while rated:questionable, much like half the other posts deleted for it

Pruning the user base until nothing but dead limbs are left. And citing "legal changes" and then backpedaling to "business partners' opinions on the site" is just tragic.

Morality was never the question here. Can e6 afford to run another month, or no?

Do you want a morally consistent e621 that's gone offline, or a morally inconsistent e621 that keeps on running?

You have feral in your favorites. Get ready to say good riddance to that in some time as well, because fictional animals can consent just as little as fictional minors.

COUNTER POINT!

18 U.S. Code § 2256 -- Section 9 and Section 11.

• Section 11 -- "the term “indistinguishable” used with respect to a depiction, means virtually indistinguishable, in that the depiction is such that an ordinary person viewing the depiction would conclude that the depiction is of an actual minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. This definition does not apply to depictions that are drawings, cartoons, sculptures, or paintings."

• Section 9 -- ""identifiable minor”— (A) means a person— (i) (I) who was a minor at the time the visual depiction was created, adapted, or modified; or (II) whose image as a minor was used in creating, adapting, or modifying the visual depiction; and (ii) who is recognizable as an actual person by the person’s face, likeness, or other distinguishing characteristic, such as a unique birthmark or other recognizable feature"

It yet lives with all of its content intact, and even when it was on the verge of being shut down, it gave several days of warning for people to save as much as they could; which led to vast archiving by multiple interested parties. No matter how you look at it, they triumphed over similar adversity, and managed to handle both of their crises with a level of tact and grace that is simply lacking here. Given even just twenty-four hours of warning time, just about all of the relevant content could have been safely preserved by the vast userbase of e621. Instead, this sudden purge has undoubtedly led to the permanent loss of many pieces of art that will never be seen on the internet again; nothing short of a catastrophe for what is supposed to be an archive.

Fucking this tbh, i was on the trenches saving every last thing i could from panda, even a 24hr warning would have been enough

They didn't even try crowdfunding from the userbase (which considering furries are known for being suspiciously rich, has a high chance of working)

again going to use ao3 as an example. e621 doesnt need ""business partners"" to keep running. furries are notoriously generous and we would gladly support the site every month/participate in donation drives for upkeep costs if they even considered that as an option.

You can look back at similar bans happening on other sites in the past, not once has a change like this ever been reversed (that I know of).
Besides, unless the site receives a financial windfall that lets them ignore whichever partner(s) gave them the ultimatum, the conditions that resulted in this ban will still be there.

Oh, they *could* say "no" but it's much easier to just bend over and grab their ankles.

That said, since this place had fundamentally failed as an archival site, I do wonder how many artists and animators (especially ones who got hit) are going to come around and start asking to be put on the DNP list, you know, just go ahead and "finish the job" as it were? Or how many who weren't affected will do so in solidarity? Hope the business partner appeasement was worth the potential loss of further, unrelated content and traffic, and I'm sure the prudes will roll up and make up the difference any second now.

The reason we're pissed and considering this the continuing of the end of e6 is because they've given at most a vague "it's politics and/or our business partners" without saying anything specific which hasn't done anything to assuage the concerns of the users.

Unless the *real* reason is that their parent company got a notice from a payment processor that they then needed to respond to, but I'm not going to believe that after the absurdly vague responses they gave for *hours* after.
Either the mods are beyond incompetent, or they're trying to hide why they *really* did the ban, and considering they're deleting comments calling them antis,,,

tbf NMNY still sucks forever :V

Either way, though, if they had a deadline, a warning would've worked instead of waiting for the last moment and slapping a half-assed bot to do the dirty work, then put stuff back up with a sad excuse with inconsistent reasoning for damage control. I don't think lolishocub is a hill to die on at the end of the day much as I favorite it (and almost exclusively operate on IB), but I still consider it legitimate art, so some forewarning would've been good to, idk, let people know to back up their favorite pieces?

All I'm seeing out of this is a Regular E6 L.

Greetings!

We've got a doozy this time.
Due to challenges stemming from changes in the political and legal environment, both offline and online, we have had to adjust our content guidelines to preserve access to our site. As a result, any content featuring young human or humanoid characters in explicit situations is now prohibited and will be deleted. This change also applies retroactively, and we have already removed all existing submissions featuring such content.

As with all irrelevant content, we will not issue records for uploads that violate this policy; the content will simply be deleted.

Thank you for your understanding, as this was not an easy decision for us to make.

Never uses bots. They're terrible at their jobs. Look at google ai and the answer it gives.
But seriously, young is a tricky tag due to it being used for young adult characters having sex with older adult characters.

If the decision was purely commercial (I'm almost certain it was), the admins should have been honest and speak up, instead of giving a lame excuse of "political environment".

The criticism is deserved due to the way this was handled. Done suddenly, without a chance to back up artwork or a discussion between users.

What puzzles me more is that the slippery slope argument gets used to say drawings that are objectively not CSAM are still criminal in nature because they incite, lead on or normalize CSAM, but the slippery slope regarding expanding censorship, and the arbitrary recategorization of content to be forbidden, taboo or offensive, is not only dismissed, but treated with contemptuous disdain.

No, I mean, how am I supposed to know which ones to bother the staff with? I can't remember what those were. Certainly can't just randomly ask, "Hey, check my deletions to see if there's some that shouldn't have been deleted".

Also, nice to get hit for content we were told to salvage from the Tumblr deletion. What a waste of time that was, now it's gone anyway. The value of e621 as an archival site has gone down significantly with this.

They already accuse us of being animal-fornicators, we're well beyond the point of trying to appeal to the masses or "normies" as some people call them.

In fact, that's why a lot of people here are already fretting over cub and feral, because if FurAffinity is anything to go by, it's only a matter of when, not if, it gets purged to appease people who will never ever be satisfied until the whole site goes under.

I don't think the admins have any personal ill will towards the content, or else they'd have banned it long, long ago.

Two words: Fuck. Off.
You have the gall to call yourselves an archive and then pull this kind of shit.
Well good luck then. I hope it was worth irreparably damaging your site and what little user trust you had left. Can't wait to see cub get purged, and then feral because it is never enough.

As far as anyone can tell the automod was incredibly sloppy with its parsing, a lot of the time it looked like it was deleting anything tagged with both "human" and "young" because it was catching art where the young one was anthro or a pokemon, but it left art that overtly has "loli" with human or straight up "young human", lilo from lilo and stitch only had some of the art deleted instead of all of it despite anything marked explicit with her was featuring her. Overall there was no structure to any of this and without warning there was no way to test to see what gets nuked and what stays. E6 really fucked the dog with this one.

The Four Chan people and the Fruit Farm people are not just gunna STOP bullying furries because the fandom as a whole decided to go full on Burned Furs and PURGE everything that some Twitter or Tumblr person deems "problematic." Purge the whole fandom, go ahead... NOTHING WILL CHANGE...
