I originally posted to this account in May 2024 because I wanted to write age regression stories online.
Currently, I'm more interested in spending my writing time on my blog Found in the Berry Patch. It documents my own experience as an age dysphoric person and where its early awareness. I also want to post more on my BlueSky .
I hope to write age regression stories again someday! I just don't know when.

Moving as well... (G)

Hello anyone who reads this,
I'm sure you all know about the horrible decisions happening against our community on this website. I know I only posted for a few months, and I was only active for two, but I gained a small audience in that time. I'm not sure what website I want to move to, but for now, check my Carrd or my BlueSky. I will have free-time this Friday as I have the day off from my real job (I'm a math tutor now with my own business!) where I can think more about my new posting locations going forward.
I'm so upset with this change because FurAffinity is the only real popular place for posting furry writing. I wrote a whole tweet series where I dissect the horrible change (Link), but I'll repost it here too:
You say you "spent time speaking to many members of the babyfur/ABDL community", and you then determined there is "not a good consensus on where the line is" on what is sexualization. Because some people "find messy diapers sexual [while] some do," you decided that "minors...wearing messy...diapers...may not be shown." So the decision was that because some people find messy diapers as sexual in some contexts, messy diapers must always be sexual.
How can a website with so much kink artwork not understand that kink is contextual? Some people have a kink for food. Does that mean anyone eating any food is sexual? Should minors not be depicted eating food? No! The idea is that minors should not be drawn with the intent to sexualize. Despite you deciding that the "content matter is too subjective and open to interpretation...to properly moderate," you need to accept that artwork open to interpretation. You need to accept that moderation is difficult and actually requires reading the context. And to be honest, for years FurAffinity has been doing a good job deleting abhorrent content while allowing us babyfurs to remain. So why decide now that your moderation must be context insensitive?
I understand that FurAffinity "recieved an influx of tickets relating to babyfur/ABDL content." But a fact of the matter is many people will report content they do not understand. For example, many furrys do enjoy sexual content of sapient quadruped beings. That content on first glance to the uneducated may appear as zoophilia, but no good furry/therian would ever condone that! We may want a more quadruped body, so we enjoy that representation, but we would never want to hurt actual animals. So just because FurAffinity receives tickets on content by members who do not understand our subcommunity, that does not justify certain content to be removed from the site. FurAffinity is a diverse place, and it has multiple subcommunities inside.
Now, as for regressed adults: it is similar to hypnotism. Dubious consent, like it or not, is a part of kink, and banning regression content with diaper changing is a huge theme in all Babyfur content. You say "[t]he Babyfur and ABDL communities are still welcome on Fur Affinity", but your words are not supported by the new policy banning a huge portion of what we enjoy despite how our kink does not sexualize minors as discussed in my previous tweets.
Your decisions are awful, and I'm saddened that the main place I've engaged with the Babyfur community is effectively dead for what we enjoy. I ask you to reconsider your context insensitive moderation approach and your ban on much of regression artwork, as otherwise myself and many others will leave your site behind.
Thank you so much for engaging with my work. I want to push past my executive dysfunction and write more!!
Sincerely,
