We need to talk about the FA policy update
To say that i'm disappointed would be an understatement. This notice not only single-handedly ruined my day, but also makes me fear for my and other artists future on furaffinity.
So, what is this new update about and why so much controversy? Simple, from July first (1 of July), all characters that look like children or have child-like body proportions will be treated as minors. This wouldn't be so bad if this rule also included Pokémon or Digimon, or if the wording wasn't so vague.
What do I mean with this? Simple, Remember all those 'baby looking' Pokémon such as Eevee, Azurill, Riolu, Pichu, Buneary and many others will be treated as minors too....
You see why I and many others might have a problem with this, right?
This will not only force many veteran artists on FA to delete any artwork including this and many other Pokémon, but the rule being so vague basically means that almost ANY Pokémon can fall under this rule too. What guarantees that Deerling wont be considered a 'minor/adolescent' animal/Pokémon? Or Bulbasaur? Or Squirtle? Piplup? Cyndaquil? Treecko? Mudkip?
You know what this means? That basically all Pokémon artists would be forced to walk on egg-shells, as the vague wording means that any moderator can interpret what does or what doesn't count as a 'child Pokémon'. And I'm not joking, argon_vile already said to expect a good chunk of their gallery to be deleted under this new guidelines on this journal.
Me and many other artists that have the oh-so-feared 'child-like/childish artstyle' will be at a very, very high risk too.
I fear for the future of my account and the account of many other artists; and under this new policy I have no other choice but to put on hold No Apples for Quitters until the staff makes it clear what falls under the category of punishable or not, because I fear that I might get in trouble. If the new policy doesn't make itself more clear, then I might be forced to cancel the comic and delete all the pages. I'm sorry if this might come as disappointing to my viewers, but I cannot take any chance.

This is extremely irritating stuff, I saw an artist I like 
AfraidPichu was banned at some point for an issue like this, I won't be changing any of the art I personally want to draw though

Kinda makes you think about what fantasy races could potentially be considered to childish, there are a lot that are smaller than average humans that I can picture somone trying to make the argument for. Fairy, halfling, gnome, pixie, kobold, dwarf, elf, goblin, sprite, hobbit, and so on… will any and all nsfw art containing these races potentially be a ban-able offense?
Not to mention it’s not properly defined what counts as sexual, would they argue any content containing something that could be defined as a fetish as sexual, feet, vore, ect?

I actually kind of agree with you here: Because some adults have certain body portions and this is rather infuriating for those adults, especially in the fantasy realm or dwarfs and fairies with certain body types.
ALSO CUB? CUB? AS IN LION OR TIGER CUB?
(I would understand if they forced content into being rated as mature or adult but banning the word cub (I assume from tags I don't know) and smaller and younger body type adults?)
I feel like the body type is actually something that seriously needs to be addressed.

NEVERMIND ALSO I can't edit my message but here is what concerns me:
Q: "There are no special exceptions based on lore or fantasy setting." Does this mean franchise lore? Or an OC's established lore?
A: It means no special exceptions, period. It doesn’t matter if the user created the lore or it's a show/video game. If it falls within what we define as a juvenile in the document we would need to remove it. If it appears to be an adult we leave it. Staff can't be expected to know the lore on every character in the world. In my meetings with lawyers, the law doesn't care so long as it doesn't look like a child or that it's not stated as being a child. They aren't going to dig up the lore on everything either. They are gonna go off visuals and descriptions.
Because I have an OC with a curse that makes her look Child-ish but she is really 125..
I feel bad for characters with 'Williams syndrome' or 'Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome'
