Inkbunny Has An Amazing Opportunity

Okay hear me out on this.

FA updated its policies, as we all expected, and babyfurs, even non-sexual ones, are effectively banned. They've written the rules in such a way that bans everything with even a wet diaper.

I tell people to go here, and they get mad at me, because of "cub porn". Leave aside reality vs fantasy, etc, the fact is the optics here are bad.  My personal opinion on cub art (that if youre not hurting a real human person, then its fine) are of no consequence to this, i'm talking about general public perceptions.

E621, as I've pointed out in the past, allows much of what Inkbunny does, and nobody really has a problem with it. Because they block out the cub porn with a pre-populated blacklist that only can be modified with an account. So when you go to e621 without an account, you dont see the cub art and other of the "problematic" fetish material.  And when you DO get an account on e621 (see i bet you didn't even KNOW you could get an account there - i used it for years without one) you can edit the blacklist and see all the cub art and whatever else. A lot of my diaper stuff only became visible when I logged into e621 and adjusted my tag filter list.

In other words, if a new Inkbunny account has a PRE POPULATED tag filter that gets rid of most of the cub porn, it would go a long way towards the perceptions of the site.  Now its possible that wouldn't matter, and the antis wouldn't come here anyways based on the years of reputation of a cp free for all that inkbunny has, and that may be true, it might be a better experience for a general user that could, in time, understand how block lists work and edit it to their own preferences, instead of having them have to do it up front while seeing a bunch of stuff they might not like.

Just.. something to think about

Fair and quite reasonable. I would love a pre-built block list of things like that.

Just out of curiosity, when FA went puritan and purged cub art from it's website all those years ago was it as bad as it is now with babyfur/abdl?
CargieWeasel

sort of. it was a much smaller site back then.  and it was much more of a split between those who didn't like cub porn and wanted it gone, and those who liked it and wanted to keep it, and few people arguing in favor on civil liberties grounds.  Dragoneer had a very narrow line to walk with all of that.

now i can see MUCH more of a backlash from the user base in defense of ABDLs. because frankly, cub porn isn't that popular, but its clear to most that ABDL involves adults and is much more of an acceptable kink/fetish, and theres a lot more babyfurs in the fandom and their friends, than cub-furs who have their own little enclave and not a lot of outside defenders.

Fun fact: someone got mad at ME for pictures under my tag on e6, because they finally got an account and the global blacklist got removed. I’m like

“…IT’S TAGGED FOR A REASON THOUGH-“

A builtin blacklist, and a few changes to the current blacklist system would indeed be very beneficial. Allowing to block posts "with x and without y" for starters.

Maybe not having a full block on guest accounts, but creating a account would give you the option to block the obvious and popular cub centric tags would work maybe? Still would be a uphill battle to get folks in though, as most don't want any association.

Another pushback I get is about the AI content here, which I agree. I think AI should get the default blacklist as well.

Great post though buddy, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Would signal boost here if I could!

we certainly try out best to be accepting.  the fact IB has such a functional opt-in blacklist is a godsend compared to other art sites.  I certainly do get the cub aversion, and like others, wouldn't be opposed to letting new users blanket blacklist the tag upon account creation.

People also go to Twitter saying, "eww cub porn" but it's there too, along with human minor stuff as well. Plus Twitter has actual real life porn, but thankfully not of minors, as far as I've seen. Twitter's search engine is also so useless it might as well not have one. I know people are leaving Twitter now over the AI stuff, but isn't BlueSky and Mastodon just another Twitter or Tumblr, basically? IDK, I just find it weird that people are going to social media sites as their main art gallery choice.

But yeah, I agree, who cares if a work is fiction as long as it's kept out of the real world. And if you don't like it, use the tag blacklist, which, to my knowledge, Twitter doesn't have.

bluesky and mastodon have pretty robust tag blocking/muting , better than Twitter has.  Bluesky's blocks are also superb, and you can create lists of accounts to follow or accounts to block (which of course is open to its own abuses) .. but in general bsky and mastodon give you quite a bit of control over who sees and who doesn't see your content.

I agree that they are not substitutes for a proper gallery site, however.  I'm looking into Pixelfed as a possibility.

OK, but do Mastodon and BlueSky have a working search engine? Or will I get a small list of results with half or more of them not being what I'm looking for? And how hard is it to find old posts?

Never heard of Pixelfed.

Mastodons search does suck.  I like Bluesky's search fine. it seems to work for me

OK, neat, I was already planning on signing up at some point. Whether I actually post there or not will depend on how well the site works for me.

Oh dude you should hear what people are saying about IB

https://bsky.app/profile/sharkypadded.bsky.social/post/...

Its legit just "ITS ALL PEDOS AND IF YOU GO THERE YOU PROVE FA RIGHT AND ARE A PEDO YOURSELF"

Its crazy how controlling some people are

SBP is an idiot if they seriously think the stigma isn't already with them...

Regardless of what site you use, what level of extreme you draw, the age of the characters, or anything, uneducated, biased, ignorant, intolerant assholes will ALWAYS associate you with the worst of the community.  They will ALWAYS assume that wearing a diaper means you're a pedophile, just the same as the same crowd assumes furries are zoophiles.  The more you let the bother you what random nobodies think, the more miserable it makes you.  If people want to form uneducated, faulty opinions on me based on false, surface-level conclusions they draw, they have that right, and I have a block list.  At that point, you move on.  There will always be ignorant hate in this world, how you handle it is what matters.

Couldn't agree more, I have some screenshots from Fang's server on discord of people being both for and against IB, I stood by the nuanced opinion that IB isn't all cubporn and you can control your own feed if you want and anyone who uses it isn't guilty by association and people were still adamant that it is still all bad, and then the mods there banned talking abour IB under a "no cub porn talk" clause, which really sold me on the fact that they have no clue what this site is actually like

The anti-IB sentiment is *insane*, I never realized how much prejudice there was against this site, like holy shit.
TheRealMedley

Dude its so bad a lot of the idiot zoomers on FA instantly block people for having an IB link on their profile, absolutely pants on head retarded

And I say this as someone who isnt into cub stuff, I dont care if others are and I wont stop or attack them for it either, to each is their own my dude live and let live

Radicalism is the new black my man. :) it's just where society is right now. Everyone has to pick a side because if you don't who are you going to be mad at then?! Lol

It bugs me that hate is so prevalent now. Society totally feels like it's rotting

100% in so many things, like you can't just be in the middle like I am anymore you have to be on one side or the other, if you don't love it you hate it, and if you don't hate it you love it, there is no more "i nothing this, its just meh, it doesn't bother me nor does it excite me"

Sad times, sad sad times

I personally hate cub porn since it has left a scar on the babyfur community by existing, but the beauty of this site is, if you don't like a certain tag...BLOCK IT.  Something FA never implemented.  At this point, what a bunch of random douchebags have to say about the babyfur community is irrelevant to me.  I'm 30, my years of caring what nobodies who never met me think of me from their falsely-drawn, surface-level conclusions ended years ago.

Will ABDL 18+ content be allowed on Fur Affinity?
CargieWeasel
9 months, 2 weeks ago
its a good question. Because they are definining "mentally regressed" as equivalent to a minor. therefore if a character is mentally regressed then its banned the same as if they were in a physically regressed or child body.  but what is mental regression? drooling? sucking their thumb or a pacifier? its so incredibly vague and poorly defined that the answer is.. probably not!

A picture of someone mentally regressed and a picture of someone cub headspacing is the same thing. That is there on purpose.

I wanna draw a big tiddied 36-24-36 chick acting like a full on drooling incapable baby now, without any of the baby stuff, just a nude perfect body obviously over 18 OC sitting in her own waste and see how long it takes to get a strike against me now.

They said the diapers and baby stuff makes it a minor, but they didn't say anything about having a mental deficiency

I mean unironically just that 's the only thing I can honestly would improve this site as a quality of life thing - past that 's feels like the comfiest n easily digestable gallery site for me - tag suggestions, categories that make sense for art pieces, functioning blacklists AND blocks, the website's default color palette 's nostaligic, the mascot is cute, harassment's *against the TOS*??? love this place

past that maybe a dark mode but then again I haven't looked thru the settings of this site so maybe there's something like that already ,9,

what it's the next content you think FA gonna ban ferals or vore? idk if it's scat because it's the more close to the abdl into some contents and they can't ban the fatfurs because they can be called fatphobic with that
CargieWeasel
9 months, 2 weeks ago
I have no idea. but since their policies are mostly "whatever the mods themselves are into is okay, whatever they dont like is gone" i suspect ferals and zoo will be fine there for some time.
ShiroganeAlex

well this can be a fun game to play, the name of the game its "imagine who be the next banned content" i wanna see how it slowly die because kill every content i think that gonna be fun when the site slowly pass from be furaffinity to humaffinity and slowly become into babyffinity because censor every think to slowly become into sfw page who only babies use XD

What scares me is that e21 is following the sad path of no return of furafinty, and to think that it was once a place of abundance of diaper pornography abdl cubs in the past and without stupid rules 😔😔
CargieWeasel

well, fur affinity changed its policies after much controversy and is now pretty much back to how it used to be.  what's e621 doing now?
