-Hi! My name is UserChan, I'm 25 years old, a digital artist, and you can request commissions from me whenever you want, and for anything you want 🐺.
*I do self-shipping, anime or cartoon drawings, animals, fanart, nsfw, etc🐾.
First, I was never notified, and it was a week ago that I saw the deleted posts. Although I don't have a screenshot of how much time passed, I don't need to make a big deal out of something that "was fair," and in this case, it wasn't. That tactic of taking screenshots of deleted posts to say "we warned you for months" when the ban was only a week ago is cheap manipulation. By deleting the posts recently due to the ban, they create false "evidence" that they try to pass off as a long history of "disobedience." It's a way to justify their own incompetence and lack of artistic judgment. If the ban was a week ago, there are no "months" of warnings. They're trying to rewrite the timeline to make it seem like I'm the "rebel" and you're the "patient" ones, when in reality, you're the ones who can't distinguish a human figure from a furry. Furthermore, I realized something while being "new to Lemmy" that you either don't or conveniently choose not to mention. The dates you show in your screenshot aren't from the exact moment the post was deleted; they're from the moment the post was made. Therefore, your "argument" that "they've been deleting them for months" is even more invalid. And I literally realized this by looking at your own deleted comments and posts. How ironic that a newbie foreigner would notice something so convenient, right? So yes, I'm still right that I was banned a week ago without any prior warning.
Second, is this the same old issue of whether I post in English again? Seriously? Some of you seem to think only Americans post here. These sites are universal, and English is used for that purpose, whether you like it or not. I'm noticing a certain condescension regarding this issue, which isn't even relevant to the case itself. Do you expect me to post in my language when many probably won't translate it? What a ridiculous argument. The "you don't know English and you still post" attack is pure xenophobia. On a global platform like Lemmy, using a translator to participate is perfectly valid. Using it as a weapon to invalidate your technical opinion about art is pathetic. Basically, they're telling you: "You don't have the right to defend your art if you don't speak our language perfectly."
Third, believe me, I did want to contact the moderators, but as I said, messaging on this site doesn't guarantee that my messages will reach them, and there isn't even a chat section outside of other apps the site recommends, and I'm not going to register there. Or maybe it's just my own inability to know where it is or how to use it. I'm not going to mess with something I don't know.
Fourth, I never said "I don't know how to post," read carefully, I wrote "I post on Lemmy and I'm leaving." You can accuse me of whatever you want, but I didn't break any rules. They never warned me because I never received any notifications, and that "they deleted it months ago" thing—so why did the posts disappear a week ago? Your accusation doesn't make sense. I've literally been posting since October, and the few posts I published—I never received a single warning, nor did anyone even tell me, "We consider this furry" (even though it isn't, under any circumstances). If I hadn't posted my characters, I would have stopped posting, period. I would have posted something else or just left on my own. But if you think I'm such a bad user for defending my art against injustice, that's your problem. I know what I did and what I didn't do.
Literally, the only furry thing is the TMNT fanart; the rest aren't furries. But you guys don't seem to get that. I've been polite, I've been patient, but calling me a liar is a whole other level for you. And on top of that, you're being condescending about the language, as if posting in English, Spanish, Italian, French, or whatever is important. What a way to deflect the issue and make me look like a problem for something you did without even telling me.
Having said all that, because I don't plan to continue a fight I didn't start, but rather wanted to end before it became a public circus due to your incompetence. If I'm the villain in your story, fine, I'm not going to keep justifying the obvious; I've already made everything crystal clear.
Technically and literally I didn't infringe on anything because it's not furry-related. What she creates without knowing what she's banning is another matter entirely.
Two points: 1- I already explained what furry is and what it isn't.
2- I use a translator and translate the page.
3- An extra point, haha. Here's an example of a yokai demon with a kemonomimi. Art I uploaded there.
4- Another extra example, normal/mythical animal art, without a antro.
They're confused because they lump everything related to animals into the category of furry, and it isn't. I assume that since you're a furry, you wouldn't compare a human or demon with animal features to a furry (or even a therian), much less a normal or mythical animal. Furthermore, according to that moderator's "logic," a fairy and a mermaid (things she posts in her communities) are furries—that's how ridiculous this is.
I'd been posting stuff about a demon and a woman with wolf ears and a tail for months, not furries. There was never a single comment from the moderators about it, and like I said, it's not furry.
I'll try.
I'll try, although I have no expectations.
Following that absurd logic, a dog fetching its leash or an otter using a rock to crack open a clam are "furries." It's ridiculous. Holding an object in their mouth is a natural physical ability of canids; they aren't using hands, they aren't walking on two legs, they don't have human anatomy. It's a wolf doing something a wolf can do.
Level 1 (Humanoid/Kemonomimi): 95% human, 5% animal. (Not furry).
Level 2 (Anthro/Furry): 50% human, 50% animal. (This is furry).
Level 3 (Feral/Creature): 5% human (mind), 95% animal (body). (Not furry).
That final phrase, "you can argue all you want, but you're simply wrong," is the tactic of someone who's run out of arguments and is just too lazy to learn about something they clearly don't know. It's a way of ending the dialogue because you can't refute my visual examples. If you want to keep arguing about something you haven't researched, that's your problem. I'm leaving it here because, honestly, it's exhausting.
According to the direct message, it's not secure, and I'm not going to create an account on other secure messaging apps. I already said that.
That's still a very common fallacy. If you don't believe me, just search or read my comments. Don't use misused popular labels; I'm tired of explaining it. And no, the same applies in any language; the fact that you shouldn't search for or call everything "furry" is another matter.
To dispel further confusion, here's an example of yokai and kemono: purely human form with small animal features like horns, ears, a tail, and claws. Not furry, which is an animal in body and mind, being completely covered in fur, scales, feathers, or anything but human skin. Beasts are merely normal or mythical animals.
Hahaha, my profile picture isn't my art. My beastly art is animalistic, not antro. And my other drawings are yokai and kemono, humans with small animalistic features, like horns, ears, and tails. Here's an example of beastly art.
I checked the first link but it seems to be abandoned... thanks for the support anyway, not everyone appreciates art in all its forms.
In fact, the confusion is common. But furry refers to anthropomorphic animals, bestial refers to purely animalistic beings, kemonomimi refers to humans with features like ears and tails, and demons are similar; none of these fall under the furry category.
Furry: An animal with a human body and mind. Kemonomimi and demon: Humans with slight animalistic features. These include kitsune, werewolves, and even oni.
The dates shown in the history aren't from the exact moment the post was deleted, but from the moment it was published. A otro idiota con ese cuento.
