Shower thoughts

When I first made an account on here, it was largely a response to Furaffinity's terrible decision to force everyone to post compressed art if they dared post above a certain resolution (Unless you paid up)
This sheer greed was frustrating and put me off the site and convinced me to give Inkbunny a shot with its robust galleries, tagging, and multiple images per upload. As a gallery site, this place has served me extremely well.
But eventually, after I started to feel particularly comfortable with the site, I decided to draw art with more raunchy and taboo elements to them. Art that would get me banned basically anywhere else, but art that let me get out some of my own repressed sexual frustrations and feelings. The response to these drawings have been nothing but positive from the community, and I appreciate the love people give to my art. I'm not the most consistent artist out there. I love drawing a huge variety of things, experimenting with styles, and fetishes as I desire. So the fact I have as many followers as I do on any of the sites I use to upload my art is a blessing and a half.

To get back to Inkbunny: I've sent takedown requests for some of my cub art that made it to E621. Because I personally don't feel too comfortable with that art making it to a much more "public" site. There's a certain privacy to Inkbunny's cub policies acting as a repellent to the general furry community that makes me feel safe posting here if that makes any sense.
Recently I've seen a few people announce their leave from this site for various reasons. It's their choice, I suppose. But for someone like me, this site represents a feeling of relief/freedom by being able to express everything raunchy and nasty that crawls in the corners of my brain. It's not just the act of drawing these things that gives me joy, but also being able to express them to others. It might sound self-centered, but I assume a large amount of artists feel the same way.
There are very few sites that are accepting of the content that Inkbunny is, and while I have my issues with certain policies here, I really don't think there's any gallery site better right now.

Keep up the good work! I can relate. My art has been deleted in DA and censored in Pivix, although I limit myself to regular nsfw and kinks. Finding a website that respect nsfw art and doesn't vow to censorship is really difficult.

For more than a decade this has been my no-drama place.  I feel you there!  Though it is nice to have e6 as a backup "archive", it's totally understandable for personal reasons to not feel safe letting that happen.

I do feel like the site will weather the trouble and hopefully all the people who needed a different space to feel comfortable find it.  Some of them might just need a short vacation to cope if ya know what i mean. Current events have everyone wound up and some may come to realize that this place isn't actually throwing all of us artists (or I guess atypicals) under the bus.

I try to understand that for some people, art and freedom of expression in art is downhill from expressing their identity unmolested. But if this were a website of identities instead of just a safe playground for fun art (and limited userprofile safe spaces), we'd probably have been in a lot more trouble by now already thanks to some of the people who were attracted to it. Thinking of the MAP problem mainly but i guess this could apply to the "nazi bar" slippery slope theory too.

Anyway, all that aside, glad to have ya here and still posting =w=
