The trouble is just that when you draw a line, then there'll be people who will twist that line any way they like. We already see it with lgbt+ content being twisted as sexual or harmful to children, or FA having barbie doll nudity/plus size designs being seen as obscene.

One thing I think is important to understand about the recent advertiser attack on FA is that the nonsensical guidelines are intentional.

When they try to claim things like hugging, plus-sized characters, or "barbie doll nudity" are adult it's not that they're confused. Or secretly turned on.

I'd like to ask whoever chose to include "Barbie Doll nudity" if Bugs Bunny is too sexy for them.

Def felt some vindication seeing the ad companies saying even barbie doll style nudity is too much, like yes puriteens the ad companies see you as just as bad as the dirty porn artists you hate lol

This part of FA's statement still makes my head spin honestly. Advertisers calling art of two characters hugging or plus-sized characters "adult content" is bullshit.

You best start believing in puritan dystopias. You're in one.
What the third-party advertisers consider adult isn’t even always actual adult content. For further context here’s a snippet from our Fur Affinity Advertising Manager, jamesalesto: Howdy! What makes this situation frustrating is that the bar for what advertisers consider “adult content” is very very low. For example they consider plus size characters, two characters hugging, and “barbie doll nudity” to be adult content, despite these being normal everyday things that are not adult at all. This is why you may see other sites with restrictions on how characters can’t be posed or dressed “too provocatively.” We receive a daily list of items that they have flagged as violations and have to sort through them. If they’re legitimate violations, we re-rate them. If they aren’t, we don’t touch them. Submissions that are not violations of our policies are still held against us. We have had many email conversations, Zoom calls, and even an in-person meeting with representatives to help resolve this to no avail. Given this uphill (and frankly annoying) struggle, if properly funded we would like to aim towards removing third-party advertising entirely, and instead focus on our in-house community advertisers. They are the heart and soul of the fandom, and they deserve to have the eyes of our active users.

Reminder, plus sized furries hugging and Ken doll nudity were considered too risqué. Fuck advertisers, keep furry niche and weird

FA being told by advertisers that the most mundane of art is just too risqué to work with should be a good indicator why trying making your fandom squeaky clean to appease people, who will never be happy, is a shitty idea

This is so stupid. "the bar for what advertisers consider “adult content” is very very low. For example they consider plus size characters, two characters hugging, and “barbie doll nudity” to be adult content"

Name these third party advertisers so we all know who to avoid like the plague they are.

If yall can, read the statement cause it gets worse and it gives FA some clicks!

The advertising manager wrote this and there's a whole lot of insane restrictions from these third party advertising companies from what they want FA to have. Plus sized bodies and 'Barbie doll nudity' being too extreme is fucking ridiculous. Is this the Catholic church or something

FurAffinity (a furry focused online art gallery) is looking for funding after refusing to comply with advertiser demands. And oh boy are some of those advertiser demands pretty ridiculous.

Advertisers and processors want kink scrubbed as liability. They do not have a theory of the fandom. They have a brand-safety list and a chargeback desk. Hugs, plus-size characters, and doll nudity already fail it. Explicit kink fails it harder.

Their “adult” bucket is so wide it flags hugs, plus-size characters, and doll-style nudity. Once that money drops from a real budget line to $150 a month, the site either censors to the advertiser’s standard or begs the users to replace $25k a month.

FA has been the most open about what payment companies are trying to censor, and, turns out, it’s not just “gross” “dangerous” fiction: it’s depictions of fat character, it’s dress-up doll nudity, it’s characters hugging

The anime handholding meme has become true!

LRP if you read the actual journal, it’s wild. Adult content bans have already moved onto censoring HUGGING as an nsfw actvity
A screenshot from an official furaffinity journal page about advertising on the site. The quite from the advertising manager reads: “Howdy! What makes this situation frustrating is that the bar for what advertisers consider ‘adult content’ is very very low. For example they consider plus size characters, two characters hugging, and ‘barbie doll nudity’ to be adult content, despite these being normal everyday things that are not adult at all. This is why you see other sites with restrictions on how characters can’t be posed or dressed ‘too provocatively’”

Day 2 of #FundFurAffinity.

Seriously, preserving one of the last bastions of artistic expression from corporate influence, from assholes who see plus-sized bodies & HUGS as "too provocative," is really important.

That certainly shines a light on Clip Studio's recent purge of a ton of featureless mannequins from their user submitted pose library under their new "adult content" rules a little while back with that "Barbie doll nudity" bit.

Was reading the gofundme and this snippet from their advertising manager makes me so goddamn pissed for FA.

"Plus sized" counts as adult content to those people? So somehow fat people are both uwu soft babies that are completely sexless, but also the mere sight of them is porn, jesus.

fur affinity has been running for 21 years, is one of the largest archives of queer art online, and one of the few art sites that has not switched to some kind of infinite feed bullshit and it's being strangled over "adult" art. suspiciously wealthy furries now is your time to paypig for culture

This censorship bullshit has gone beyond "too far", it's something else entirely by now.

I don't have the money to support FA myself rn, so i'm only able to spread the word. Go donate to them and spread this even further
