This is not a drill


It's hard to miss, but there is a great rift in the furry fandom right now. Furaffinity.net has now banned and will begin to purge adult cub porn (....adult cub......isn't that an oxymoron?) from the site. Not for legal issues (as it is illegal to host), not for overseas issues (as some places like Canada, Australia, and other European countries would eventually blacklist FA, and FA's advice when the whole CP crackdown was "use Firefox in safe mode and don't save any cub pictures"). No, they pulled it down for funding issues. Their sponsor felt it was too risky of a subject to have working with them and apparently froze their funds (meaning, FA could either go bankrupt and close, or they could ban adult cub porn and resume funding).

There will be a typhoon of journals, comments, and twitter responses on this subject and this isn't a "oh, we think we might get rid of cub porn", no, this IS an official AUP update, so this will throw up a cloud of dirt so thick it'll black out the internet sun. Best thing to do is safely nuke any and all journals you might get on FA and even stay off of social sites/devices that you may use that has furries on it just to save yourself a headache.

....oh, and happy Fatsgiving =O

Do you mean adult cub as in infantile art, or are we just talking about legit CP here?

The latter needs to go, CP is CP even if it's cub. The former is well, a little creepy, but there's no cause for such commotion over it.

Whatever you do, don't encyclopedia-dramatica that. O.o

Anyway. I don't look at anything yiffy. And neither does anyone I talk to on a regular basis over journals. So, I'll just steer clear of FA till this blows over sweatdrop

@Khleo- Under the tab for browsing, one of the themse is "babyfur". ...there's the cub art that's clean and cutesy ([like this. Dawwwwwww...]), then there's the +18 version of cub art, as in, young anthro characters in sexual acts. Federal law states that any and all kiddie porn, photographed, drawn, CG'd, sculpted, or whatever is still kiddie porn and is illegal. That means, dressing up a young kid as an anthro won't work in courts. BUT, some people keep trying to say that some kind of loop-hole law is tied with the supreme court and has higher authority over the federal court, meaning some people actually had a court case saying fictional child porn is a form of art, and is an expression, and should be protected by the freedom of speech thing. I honestly don't care. That's a lot of back bending believing to do for protecting something like that from the law just from a couple technicalities.


I might have an open mind, and I don't judge people too much as I know I'm a weird thing myself. But to it's pretty sick to try and say an artistic approach to ***** should be protected by freedom of speech. Yeah, rape, murder ,and drugs in content is usually a bad thing to submit too on websites (as this one. This one is a PG13 zone so nothing too crazy here). But that's more of a maturity thing. Child porn is just sick and illegal. You can't really contest the matter.[/rant done. I will no longer put any more input of a rant in this topic]
