UserChan__I was banned by the moderator of Digital Art for prejudice
southsamuraiDamn, this is one of those very rare instances when the original subject does matter for PTB.
Here’s why I think that.
There is a good degree of overlap in the images that are what could be called “furry” in terms of what is usually described by that term as a thing of its own, and some yokai.
Now, kemonomimi is very often included by furries as part of, or at least loosely connected to, the “hobby” (for lack of a better word), so I could definitely see that as rule breaking and worthy of removal, though I would say a permaban based solely on that is too far. A warning and temp ban would be the appropriate step for what’s available to be seen currently.
But, you gotta admit that drawing yokai can often look just like furry drawings, no matter what the origin of the creatures are. If your specific drawings look close enough to standard furry art, then it doesn’t matter what you call it, it still isn’t going to fly.
Since I can’t see your posts, I can’t say for sure how close your art came to what is generally accepted as imagery that fits “furry” art. And it does matter when it comes to a PTB opinion because the rule is there to curate out a range of imagery, no matter what the origins. Furry stuff is not purely anthropomorphic at this point, nor has it been for a very long time. You may choose not to agree with that, but it does sway whether the mod calling your art furry art is making a reasonable interpretation.
Now, I tend to lean PTB in this case since you say you’d been posting with no issues. If your first and only mod action for a user after that long is an immediate ban, you’re kinda bring a dick.
I’m not sure why you’d try making comments in a different community to try and contact a mod though, you can do that directly in other ways without having to download anything extra.
I’m also confused how you made this post and expect to read the comments if you don’t speak English at least a little. Your writing in English is just fine as far as that goes.
Two points: 1- I already explained what furry is and what it isn’t.
2- I use a translator and translate the page.
3- An extra point, haha. Here’s an example of a yokai demon with a kemonomimi. Art I uploaded there.
4- Another extra example, normal/mythical animal art, without a antro.
No, you explained your definition of what is and isn’t furry.
But, it looks like whatever translator you’re using is really good! I would not have guessed.
Do you have other examples of art you actually posted?
Because that first one is very, very much like the furry art that goes around. The second one, absolutely not furry imo.
You mean I invented terms from centuries ago…? Nambreh si soy una cosa bárbara y ni yo sabía.
FuckFurriesFuckZoosYou are a furfag through and through! Fuck you!
I’m assuming you’re being a smartass because something got lost in the translation.
Furry, in the context being used here, is not centuries old, and that’s what I was saying you’re trying to apply your own definition to, not the word yokai, which is more than centuries old.
What matters here is that the community you were banned from is using a fairly common usage of the word “furry”, as well as “anthro”.
Both of those words, in the context of art, in English, mean something other than what you think they mean.
A drawing of a yokai, even something that’s otherwise not animal like, could still look like furry art because there’s a style involved. When that’s the case, it’s easy for a given image to get caught up in that rule.
Your art style looks like furry art in the example you gave here. The second one of regular animals doesn’t, but the first very much matches the style that the community has a rule about.
While you (and I) may disagree about the rule being applied well, it is being applied consistently by the moderator in question.
This is prime furfag garbage no matter what you say 🤮
