Damn, 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.

Apparently there were seven posts removed previously, this wasn’t want a ban for a first action lemmy.zip/comment/25327559
I was banned by the moderator of Digital Art for prejudice - Lemmy.zip

-A few days ago, a moderator on Digital Art banned me for supposedly posting “furry” (anthropomorphic animal) art. My works are based on yokai characters (Japanese mythology), kemonomimi (humans with animal ears and tails), and beasts (normal and mythical animals). Nothing falls into the furry category, which is exclusively for anthropomorphic animals. And it should be clarified that I have been posting in that community for months without any warning or comment about my works. I tried to contact her through comments in another community she moderates (I barely use Lemmy to post, and I’m not going to download external apps to open chats just for this, plus I don’t speak English), but she decided to delete them and not speak to me. (I won’t get into a discussion about this; if you don’t believe me, just look up the terms mentioned. Labeling everything as furry simply because it has an animal percentage is pure ignorance, and I’m fed up with the topic because I’ve explained and shown it a thousand times to some stubborn people. Please don’t try to convince me to use the word “furry” as something universal, because it’s NOT, and I know what I draw and what I don’t.)

I already explained how the log works; the modlog is only visible to the moderator. It has nothing to do with the public log, which anyone can see. The moderator already showed the modlog, but that doesn’t excuse her from the fact that she continues to justify the ban, even if she didn’t do it herself. She could remove it or tell the moderator responsible for the ban, and they don’t want to.

But of course, I’m always the one defending myself, the bad guy and the “ignorant one.”
