Sometimes I think “maybe I don’t need to be all that out about being a bab on this here server” and then someone throws a fit about a pacifier being in this furaffinity pride banner (try and spot it!!) and I’m like OK LETS GO BINCH

This actually had me curious compared to FurScience's stats: we are close but slightly over-represented in the banner (by 0.24 people) so I'd say overall it's a pretty fair and even sampling. [7.8% of overall population but twice as likely to be volunteer staff]
I haven't seen thedrama and frankly I don't want to. I think the banner's adorable and love every [art of it and taht's waht i think I'll focus on, while letting the haters stew.
Honestly I haven't noticed much drama. So far (as of posting this comment) I haven't seen any negativity on bluesky, and only a small handful of nasty comments on the journal itself. If there's any drama going on, it's all on twitter (which is a place no self-respecting furry should be anyway).
Seeing that purple mug that the one character is holding makes me happy. I just finished an update to a LGBTIQ+ Pride Flags Pack for Euro Truck Simulator 2 last week, which includes that flag.
Yeah I'm ngl I did NOT expect my light reservations to be responded to so devotedly. It speaks well to the changes FA has made that they've regained enough trust for people to go to bat for them again.
I just hope I wasn't misread as more aggressive than intended, I think the website is doing good.
Trust me — we aren’t going anywhere without us kickin’ and screamin’. There was a reason for the rollback of the problematic policy, and a realistic one put into place. It is not just headpats. There was real work put into changing the policy and weeks to months of discussion. ❤️
Sciggles here! I am proud of and love our babyfur and ABDL staff members and the work they've been putting in as well as helping us those months ago to create a better more understanding space for those community members on FA. It's genuine <3
If you've been paying attention to what happened AFTER the big discourse last year, you'd see that babyfurs have fully integrated into staff and how policies are formed, and frankly theres no other art site Id rather be on rn. And I was also one of the folks who left FA when it all first happened
As another person who stopped posting on FA fullstop when they made the 'body proportion rule' (I like small Pokemon in vore, sue me), would you say the website is definitively safe enough to return to posting on? That we can, fully, trust its new structure and staff?
This banner didn't happen in a vacuum - the babyfurs who are visible on the banner are part of FA's staff (and they aren't the only babyfurs who joined the staff). Believe me, these are not token gestures.
There’s also a character in overalls holding a bottle all the way to the right.
Either way, both are cute and there is nothing inherently harmful about them being cute and having pride (with actual flags, like the trans pride one on the aforementioned character)
The fact that the previous staff fucking imploded because they didn't want to stop banning babyfurs all while not doing any work is hilarious.
The fact that it *looks* like babyfurs suddenly took over and now control FA which is probably making some people into conspiracy theorists is even funnier.
There's also one on the staff who's very talkative about it, which those guys are probably malding so hard over- hilariously. I hope they die malding over that.

Haven't seen it here or FA but i tend to mingle in different circles in both places (and certainly never on Twitter.)

Me: *immediately zooms directly in on it, having never looked at the banner before now*
(Look all the way on the right)
