You're entitled to your opinion. What is not acceptable is forcing your view on other people.

This site has a mandatory tagging policy and a tag blocking feature which makes this literally a non-issue. Everyone can see the content they want to see and block the content they don't want to see.

What should not be happening is this discussion, because this is about telling other people what they should be allowed to see. Other people's lives are not ours to live, and therefor we don't have a say in what art they consume.

That already exists.. I dunno the URL but it is in the rules somewhere that appropriate tags must be used, this way they ensure that the tag blocking feature works well.

I don't know any active pedophiles and I suspect neither do you so we should leave such speculation to the real professionals such as psychiatrists who work with those people specifically.

What I do know is artwork, and some art history, especially with regards to censorship. I know enough to know that censoring artwork is always a mistake.

Does anyone really go to every single furry art website every day? I know artists post their works to several, personally I only visit one daily (FurAffinity). Recently that's changed to two as I've been more interested in this site. When all of the artists I follow are established on here I will stop loading FA every day.

I never visit inkbunny even tho I like some cub artwork, specifically because it's a pain to spend time on multiple social sites every day, and because that site lacks the sort of robust filtering tools that this site has.

Those filtering tools make this a non-issue. What you're really doing is dictating how other people should live their lives. Those filtering tools are probably the #1 best feature about this website, because personally I am sick of seeing diaper artwork on FurAffinity.

This is all a bunch of holier than thou nonsense in support of censoring artwork which is automatically evil so I question all of your real motives and I think you should take a long hard look at yourselves and ask "how does someone else's enjoyment of a particular piece of art hurt me personally". The answer is it doesn't, and you should stop shoving your nose in other people's business.

There really is nothing more to this argument. It's incredible that so many people think themselves god.

I disagree about censoring art, there is never a good reason to censor art.

I agree with some of your points about cub artwork, but there are other reasons you're missing. We're creating characters in this community, those characters have lives before the age of 18. I dunno about you, but my sexual life began at 14, or even earlier if you count masturbation. And there's nothing disgusting about that.

Pedophilia is disgusting. But we're not discussing pedophilia, we're discussing a broad ban of artwork that fits someone's definition of obscene. Allowing such censorship has never in the history of intelligent life resulted in anything positive, ever.

This isn't about logic. These arguments have been settled in the art world for a long time. Censoring art is always wrong.

When pressed, we see how the censorship squad begins heading down the so-called slippery slope. Pretty soon everything is banned except the things they want to look at.

This is why there is a mandatory tag rule and a tag blocking system. Use them and stop telling other people how to live their lives.

All furry art is bestiality to some people.

No you are wrong, it is about censorship. That is all this is about. Everything else is window dressing.

Artists need the freedom to express themselves in their art. There is historical evidence to show the damage caused when we start dictating what is obscene or what is acceptable.

I like the idea of default blacklisting however a problem arises with that, who determines what is controversial? This is the same issue that we have with censorship. It's slightly less offensive because a person could 'opt-in', but you're still defining standards for other people's lives that you don't really have the authority or wisdom to dictate.
