FA is basically all we have left where we can put our work without fears of advertiser censorship.
If it falls, we'll only have billionaire run social media and they WILL censor us. I garuntee it, and there's nothing we can do to stop it.
Save FA, our fandom may literally depend upon it.

This can, and is likely already being used to stoke division within the fandom.
Now is the time to be weird, to be freaks. Not the time to run around and expunge “undesirable” furry subgroups for the sake of public image.

In regard to FurAffinity being at risk due to censorship:
Furries are now political targets.
We are getting namedropped at high levels of government.
They know that we are a large, influential, largely queer, community.

FA is in trouble. It's one of the few places that's still standing against AI and censorship. I have very little to my name, but I'm now an FA+ member because I believe in this place. My job relies on it, along with thousands of others, and it needs to stay alive for so many reasons.
