My days of cub art have come to an end.

So I'm sure by now a lot of you have seen the new content policy for Discord banning nsfw cub art. With my Patreon being run through Discord, their new policy changes have spurred me on to finally make a decision I've been hesitant to make for some time due to uncertainties of how it will affect my audience and short-term business, but for the sake of my long term artistic career I must make an overdue change. As of today I will no longer be drawing or accepting commissions involving sexual or suggestive art of cubs. I will still finish all currently standing nsfw cub commissions in my queue, but I am no longer accepting any more.

This has been a long time coming but I've put it off time and time again out of necessity to ensure bills are paid on time, but the situation at discord made me realize that my desire to expand my artistic business within and outside furry art, will only be held back by continuing to produce cub art. It is too controversial for me to hold onto and continue to grow in the direction I want to take my art in. I've never had any negative feelings about cub art as I firmly maintain the separation between fantasy and reality, but when it comes to business the subject matter is too volatile.

My heart goes out to those artists who draw almost exclusively cub art. I'm glad that to me, cub art was not a passion, but more of a business matter back when I first started furry art and desperately needed to find a niche to grab hold of. I think times will be difficult for those who wish to continue with cub art in the near future and I wish them luck. Times are changing and Discord's new policy is just one more example of what to expect.

I will not be purging my gallery, closing my account, or trying to restart under a new furry artist name. I believe people should own up to what they've said and done in the past, and it should be there to remind us why we made our decisions. So all the cub art in my gallery will remain where it is, but I will no longer be producing any more suggestive or adult art of cub characters, and my existing cub OCs will be aged up. I'm sure this will cost me watchers, and maybe even a lot of commission work, but this is the path I am choosing to take and the one I think will be healthiest for the long term and grant me the ability to try some new things.

Thank you for reading and I'm sorry if this was more unfortunate news.

It is quite unfortunate, but at the same time if its not your passion and you are running a business we sadly have to adapt with the times even if they are disagreeable.  There is no point in risking your livelihood against the laws that bind you.

I enjoy your art, regardless of whether you draw cubs or not. It's unfortunate that this could cut into your business, but I completely understand your decision and if this is something you've been wanting to do anyway, then at least you won't be losing something that's important to you and that is good to know. I wish you all the best for the future, and I will be looking forward to seeing whatever you may post and where you might take your art from here.

At the very least, I'm happy that it's not one of those situations where you were super uncomfortable with the content and eating away at yourself psychologically. I will continue to enjoy your artwork, although some of my characters may no longer be a part of it. Keep up the great work!

What the hell is up these people's asses? It's art! Seriously what the hell is the problem? It's not real people, nobody is harmed by it, it doesn't exploit anybody... people need to stop being little bitches about everything and realize that not everything in life will appeal to their ideals. If they don't like it then they can turn look away and stop being babies over it. I'll even send them a tube of preparation H for their butthurt.

It disgusts me so much, how the common mindset of people these days is "if it offends me expunge it from existence!" Like when exactly did the human race become a race of butthurt little whineasses that can't just shrug shit off they don't like? What happened to just sucking it up and moving on? Now all of a sudden everyone has to change their ways to please these little brats? To hell with those pansies, if they have a problem with the art in our fandom they can stay the fuck out of it... there's no love for selfish douchecanoes here.

Im gonna be honest this is just to appease the masses they are not actually gonna apply this rule is too much work. that why many of their other rules have never actually been apply either

but to the theme at hand i understand you dont wanting to do more cub is your choice as an artist and i respect it, but dont look down on other artist because they stand by their choices. dont go teeling them is gonna get harder when reality it always being they good attack on FA years ago. and they will keep getting attack but is not to pity them but on the contrary to admire them for standing in what they believe. (besides the rule they show for loli is not actually real on court because is between in the obscene part of the law and that part in court can be defended by the first amendment that is why is not persecuted by the law no court want to be involved in it because is a mockery to them)

In resume i know you are not saying to be mean or dis-considered to those artist but it needs to be said that they should not fear is just another place more that doesnt accept them (beside most of the cub artist dont use discord to post they use other places)

and about your choice good for you is understandably so. i just wish you could just ignore it but moving on is something that every one does
xephion

and discord themselves said it cub is not illegal even by the obscene arc (that even pornography is illegal in this arc) they just doing this because of feedback and doing something that wasn't necessary (they said that in the post). for anyone wondering or scared
Dirtsky

Geez, it's so annoying to see users getting butthurt about things that it shouldn't even matter to them. If they don't want to see cubs, then they shouldn't click in the first place.

At least Discord lasted longer than Weasyl. Remember that fiasco?

Looks like it's just Inkbunny and Pixiv now

I don't think Weasyl ever allowed cub porn.  FurryNetwork did for a very short while, though.  Maybe that's the site you were thinking of?

GreenReaper
2 months, 1 week ago
It wasn't that short, but FN sure caved quickly after it became a perceived issue. Unfortunately caving to censors rarely gets those complaining to use a site - they're currently languishing at the 200,000th top site by traffic (it was at least 120k before).

Similarly Weasyl's dropped from ~10k users at peak to 3k (the recent spike is from FA's thumbnail server falling over). IB is at 27k for comparison; the trend there is a slow rise (which is one reason we keep having to add transfer capacity). Without unique content, it's hard to compete against FA - and perhaps moreso against general-purpose social networks and chat services such as Facebook, Discord, Telegram and Twitter.

Apparently people don't consider alternatives to doing X because Y did something.

Why not set up your own subscription based website and art gallery?  This solves the problem of cutting out both Patreon AND Discord as middlemen - and can probably be done for less than what Patreon takes for their pledges.

DarkBlue666

I don't really care that much about cub art itself. But the fact that one platform, just one platform, updating its policy is enough to scare this many people into giving it up is just really frightening to me. I don't like the way the world is constantly trying to censor things it doesn't like, limit the ways that people can think, speak and express themselves. And whenever something like this happens... It not only frightens me, it angers me too.
I get that there's more to your particular case than Discord's new policy, and in the end it's your choice, but still... I don't like it. And I'm not gonna pretend that I do either. And I'm not saying that because I'm angry at you, but rather that you're being forced to make this choice.
If I become Earth's dictator, I'd give all artists the freedom to produce and publish whatever shit they wanted without fear of retaliation, so long as it doesn't directly cause anyone harm. Because I'd rather see a world filled with edgy nazi propaganda and animated child porn than one of censorship...

At least you're not erasing your past like so many others have. When I was first reading your journal I was about to advise everyone to save what they can while they can, because so many artists seem content to nuke their existence and leave their watchers in the lurch without warning.
AphroditeDraco

I'm saddened to see you doing this, but I respect your decision.  I'll still be watching you, though, because I followed you for your art in general, not just the cub stuff.  ^.-.^

Thank you, by the way, for the respect you've shown people who like cub porn and who draw it.  After another artist who recently stopped doing cub (who I will not name) decided to be very disrespectful in that regard, I am glad to see that the moral panic surrounding this subject matter hasn't completely polarized everyone yet.

Best wishes to you.

Do you think to make a large change in your style? Personally I was more a fan of your style per-se than the cub style.
And keeping apart sadness of cub commissioners, i am thinking it would be bad if you also force yourself to change style to "distance" as much as possible from your previous works. I hope you will keep to draw character retainings a young/teen style even if aged up a bit. I could stress how blurring the lines is also somewhat fine... i could mention some popular furry on FA who basically works on this line xD

I think about 10% of my gallery are personal pieces I did for fun, some of them are cub too. I have a decent amount of personal art I haven't posted, mostly because it's not even furry related. I like doing nsfw art, pinups, character portraits, monsters, and such, but I've never thought of myself as a "cub artist", just an artist who had student loans to repay and was willing to draw cub because I had no negative feelings towards it.
GreenReaper

Most commission artists are for money - in many ways this is a good thing; you probably do not want a service provider making decisions about serving customers based on their personal views.

Here there was a business decision - "am I likely to make more money later, given the significant risk of making less money now?" It may be right, it may not be, that is the nature of business.

On the plus side, there will be others willing to provide. One artist leaving opens an opportunity for others whose evaluation differs. And if it becomes clear that such a decision isn't working out, it can be reconsidered, and a new plan adopted - whereas those made on moral grounds tend not to be.

They shouldn't try to rebuild the original one. Discord seemed to never have hired a professional ui designer.

Not to mention since it still uses the Discord infrastructure, it will have the same rules. I don't want a service provider to read my content.

But I always appreciate options!

PS: There's nothing to "own up to" because you didn't do anything wrong. Drawing art, no matter the subject matter, is not wrong. By saying there's some "decision that you need to own up to" suggests that all the rest of the artists out there who draw art of this sort DO have something wrong with what they did. It implies that you're feeling some sort of guilt for having done it. ... as if you have to answer to these self-righteous intolerant asswipes who complain about other people's tastes? I don't think so, Tim. There is nothing wrong with artistic expression. You should know that. Money or not, business or personal passion, it doesn't matter. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

It is more like, I could draw more art (or get higher prices due the highter demand) as sticking to draw cub art.
Some clients don't want artwork from an artist who also draws cub art.
Or regarding Patreon, people will leave your Patreon, when you post a lot art you aren't like or interested in.

In order to stay in the green you must avoid all other shades of color. Sorry what I am trying to convey is if cub is not getting you anywhere and other things are go for it. After all it is your decision after all is said and done. Just don't fall into the first cub, second feral, third anything mature so on so on. I have been following your art for a while and while cub art is not my thing I don;t bash others for liking it. I just hope you don't say screw it I won't do anything that causes anyone to complain or report on me. Hell IB is a good way to post taboo things and no one here bitches about it, because of the filter buttons. Juts keep on doing what you love and people will flock to ya.

Stopping cub art on Patreon and Discord is one thing. I don't like it, but I get your reasons, but why commissions? That one doesn't make sense to me.

edit: Further, IF these assholes get their way and cub porn is eradicated from the internet, they're simply going to find something else to be offended by. SOMETHING is always going to be volatile. I don't think anyone should give an inch on this. It only makes things worse for everyone in the long run.

I still plan on commissioning you in the future! So I'm glad you're still going to be doing them.

With twelve people currently in queue, what is the wait time on commissions?

Yeah, the cub purge is really annoying though to be honest, unless anything is reported it doesn't close discord accounts.  They mostly added it to protect themselves if they do have to close down a server or ban someone as they can state it is against their TOS now.    The enforcement is really really low.  Try telegram, good place to move to if you want no hastle for cub.  If you are stopping though that is fine.

However, we have no idea if in the future both porn of any caliber drawn or not will be banned from both patreon and others.  Apple has been heavily responsible for much of the purge, if you follow the money that is.

i've checked before posting this, to see if other people did talk about it... but yea telegram can be fine for this but people are like "use telegram!"... but i'll add you can make a private channel and invite people yourself and then remove those people as needed, hopefully if it works correctly (but that you need to inform yourself) it would be like if the links aren't permanent, i think you can ask for the link of the channel to be replaced with a new one manually in the channel options (i made only groups but not channels but it could maybe work similarly)... anyways i understand it's not as easy as discord for like putting options to who can view channels and who can't and things like that... but if it's really shit and you still want to continue doing this you could try make multiple channels on telegram... or send emails to the people directly or find any other ways to share things, i'm sure there's plenty of ways but you need to find it, outside of all this "popular" stuff

I'm glad you have the confidence to distance yourself hon. You shouldn't force yourself to do things you are not comfortable with in the current climate or just feel like it ain't worth it.
Well wishes, best of luck and lotsa commissions for you to do in the future! ~
