Fur AffinityReviews of furaffinity.net

9 years ago, the website was manageable, but now it's become toxic. I mean, exceeding toxic. The audiences are essentially unresponsive unless you're a large creator or draw the nastiest pron, and I mean the nastiest pron. It's basically become what deviantart fought to avoid. Everyone is cancelling each other. It's a massive DARVO Campaign. Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim, and Offender Oh, and the moderators will NEVER be on your side when they make a decision. If you defend yourself at all, it's a permaban. Not just your one account; your IP ADDRESS. I was cyberbullied off the platform, and my accuser was allowed to continue harassing me after I was banned. you'd be better off going to e621 or even Deviantart, as there aren't any people there who will go on hate campaigns. The website is currently a political echo chamber where mods enforce invisible unspoken rules like kings, and they can't be held accountable. The TOS you sign when making an account basically says at 5.1 "We can do whateer we want and make any rule we please without telling you, and then enforce it unscrupulously. Oh, and you agree that you cannot sue us."

As a furry that is old enough to remember when this site first started, and hell, old enough to remember when VCL was the biggest library of furry art... Let me start off by saying that this site is objectively no longer about "furry." Or most things it used to be about really, but the most egregious thing it's no longer about is the thing that's supposed to be at its core. Regardless of the art you see on the front page, that's not the culture driving this site. That's not the culture being pandered to on a daily basis. Instead, the site has been taken over by particular group with a perpetual victimhood disposition, an endless array of DARVO tactics, an incredible amount of psychosis and a tendency towards casually fascist mob behavior... Which of course gets projected via the aforementioned DARVO. I'll let you guess who they are, it shouldn't be too hard. They're the same people claiming everyone else is a fascist while they go around using any power they have to ban, silence and deplatform. They're the same people who have made their identity into their entire ideology, worldview and politics, and any time you accurately criticize their behavior, they claim you're threatening their existence... Which they're only able to do, because they've turned literally everything in the world into an existential crisis for themselves. It's frankly game over for this site, and probably the whole furry fandom by extension, because FA is more or less a monopoly on furry specific social media. This kind of monopoly is a problem when you have aggressive, authoritarian activists getting gender terms that other people use removed from the site itself, for being "transphobic." The bias, aggression and hypocrisy of these people has no bounds, and they pretty much control the site, both through moderation and as a mob. This is unlikely to be rectifiable, because nobody has ever been able to compete in this niche space with FA, and nobody will ever be able to, because even if a competitor comes along, they probably wont have the balls to deny this horrendous mob of cry bullies, and punish them when they step out of their lane. Meaning any competitor will likely just devolve into another FA. If I could give this site a score on Trust Pilot lower than 1 I would, because the site isn't only low trust, but it exudes low trust onto everything around it. Like I said at the start, I've been around long enough to see all sorts of stuff come and go. This website always had awful problems with authoritarian, garbage moderators... ...But the fandom itself used to be an open place, welcoming to anyone, full of nerds and weirdos that had this kind of unwritten rule and understanding that "you stay in your lane, I stay in mine, and we all get along even if we don't understand or agree with each other all the time." But it welcomed a sort of person who can't stop forcing their ideology on everyone else, and crying victim when someone counter punches. And the result is that ultimately websites like this are just one more notch on the belt of people who cry about cultural appropriation, while they culturally appropriate literally any subculture that is stupid enough to tolerate them. FA should change its name to something intersectional identity politics related, and take down all the furry art, because that would be the most honest thing for it to do at this point.

Literal bias mess. I have been on fa since 2018. I always had a ok time and somehow always seemed to miss, or just not sign in during all the rampant data breaches which were very serious. The part that really bothered me is they were clearly always lying about the effects these breaches/hacks had and minimizing it when a good company would be completely truthful. We saw none of that. Some people get treated better than others and its really a little niche site at the end of the day where all that matters is popularity or knowing the right user so you can bully others off the site. I know, bc i saw the way they moderated my own complaints. Now i just continue to feel worse for those users and like it was just a game of popularity which i won, and they didn’t. Im out. Rip neer. I had the tag on my profile for attending his funeral. I want it deleted please. Its not something i needed to show off and its not something i should have been held to a different standard for. This is literally what’s wrong with the furry community.

FurAffinity, plateforme très populaire chez la communauté furry, souffre globalement du même problème que DeviantArt : une absence de modération stricte et de filtrage efficace concernant les contenus fétichistes très explicites, tels que le v*re, l’infl*tion, le st*ffing, le p*rno et d’autres fantasmes visuels. À l’image de DeviantArt, FurAffinity est accessible facilement, sans vrai contrôle d’âge, et mélange art grand public avec contenus adultes souvent très graphiques. Cette situation expose notamment les jeunes utilisateurs à des contenus inappropriés sans avertissement clair. Comme pour DeviantArt, le véritable enjeu n’est pas de juger ces contenus, mais d’exiger une meilleure séparation entre art mature et fétiches explicites, un contrôle d’âge fiable, et une modération cohérente. Sans cela, FurAffinity reste un espace difficile à gérer, avec une réputation ambivalente, où cohabitent créations artistiques et fantasmes exacerbés, sans réelle protection pour les mineurs.

This site needs to be shut down. It's completely garbage

⚠️ AVOID. Furaffinity is one of those sites that I advise people to steer clear of. The administrators are shady hypocrites who will ban or suspend you even if you have never broken rules on their site. you have little freedom of speech on this platform. There have been people banned for just talking about the unfair treatment they received from the staff.

Not a safe site, gets hacked alot, has bullies, haters, trolls,art thieves, horrible staff

Despite knowing that they were a woke website I decided to give it another shot thinking that the website could be used for wholesome purposes. Yet banning AI is ridiculous. My account was created less than a day ago and I got banned for posting AI artwork. Again this woke website deserves all that infamy associated with it
