Tldr: I'm going to be removing any posts involving ANY fn/f mod characters from my account, regardless of origin, and regardless if they were drawn by me or not. A thread:
After careful consideration, and talking to people on both sides of the argument, I've decided to take down any posts involving any mod characters just to be on the safe side. There are several reasons for this
The main reason is that many of the popular mod characters are either owned by minors or those whose age I don't actually know. I don't want to be overstepping any boundaries, whether it would come across their path in life or not.
This is especially in part due to some recents statements by car/ol's creator on the state of nsfw in this fandom. I think it would just be better if I stepped back and didn't talk about or draw these characters in an nsfw way here anymore.
I've realized I've fallen back into old bad habits with this, and I've even burned some bridges along the way over the past day. I know that sites like paheal and r34 will likely still have my art up of he/x, but there's little I can do about that.
Once you put something on the internet it kinda tends to stay there. At the very least the source links will be broken, though I'm not sure how much that really matters in the end.
I want to reiterate, I do not approve of people sending my artwork to those who do not consent to seeing it, especially minors. While I've seen this happen in many fandoms over the years, it seems to be all too rampant in this one-
-to the point that the inspiration to the sk/y mod was practically chased off of the internet and its creator has now removed the mod from the download page in shame.
Even if I were to decide to continue, there is too much risk of my artwork being spread around to those who I would not ever want to be exposed to it, no matter how careful I am. I know I've done a lot of damage already, and I'd just like to move on from all of this.
If you've read this far, thank you for listening. Again, you're free to draw your own conclusions about my actions, and what you'd like to do or say to me about this. Thank you all for being patient with me. End thread.
