Can I post art from Artists who have "purged?"

You folks know what “purging” means, it’s when an Artist goes nuttier than a jar of crunchy peanut butter and they start systematically nuking everything off their E621 and Ink Bunny galleries… Artists usually do this because:

(1) “Antis” (fiction equals reality freaks) harassed them for drawing Cub Yiff and they think purging their past artwork is going to make those Antis leave them alone (sorry, it won’t, Panda Paco purged and people still harass them to this day).

(2) They feel a personal disgust towards their past artwork that is more to do with their own feelings than with Antis.

(3) They are pissed off at a policy at e621 and think that purging their gallery is an effective “protest” against them…. (it isn’t, and high chances are, someone has already saved your stuff anyway).

(4) The artist is going through a re-brand due to personal reasons and they no longer feel a connection to their old art style, or their old art style does not reflect their current identity (a fine and valid reason, but I still hate full-on art gallery purges and I think they’re stupid).

ANYWAYS…. what I want to ask of this brand new website that I have never been to before:

May I please post art from artists who have purged for one reason or another????

Or does this place have what’s called a “DNP” (Do Not Post) list?

Example, I have some saved pages of a comic called “Fool’s Gambit” created by the artist Kit Hawkins, I was able to acquire these pages from an archive called “I Watch It For The Plot” which apparently had a massive Ink Bunny archive, all laid out and listed by Artists in alphabetical order.

What I wanna know is – CAN I post such things, even if the Artist has purged it for X-Y-Z reason????

Or is that against the rules here…

Just wanted to ask before I start uploading stuff.

Hi Kitsu-Negi! Thank you for your amazing post and an important one. Part of the reason I started cubfur.gay was because of the antis and how artists are bullied off platforms they once felt safe on. They are often pushed to wipe their account, rebrand, and start over with “twinks” or something. Or they go insane and start doing bara, inflation, vore, or some other awful thing. I know of one artist, who I won’t name here, that turned against cubs, said cubs were his worst customers ever, and swore away cub art. Typically, the most common thing I’ve seen is they just disappear. This worries me.

PLEASE post art from long past galleries. We have a DNP list and no one has been requested to be put on it yet so go ham. We don’t care about the DNP lists on e621 are as many people hate e621 for a variety of reasons, including their overly-aggressive mods that ban anyone who say a character looks sexy.

Per our rules, even if it’s known, do not use an artists new name if they moved away from cub. Tag their original name they went by when they made the piece.

Kit Hawkins actually branched off and made a shota visual novel called Innocent City then promptly vanished. I quite love his works and comics and who knew he’s great at drawing humans too! Just remember that if you post a comic, make sure to add a tag called “comic:a fool’s gambit” or something similar. That way it will link the sequence together with a tag.

SO yes feel free to post from IWIFTP or other sites. Unlike e621, I won’t ban you if the artist later say they want it removed. I will instead remove the posts. Honestly, I doubt that would happen.

The only exception to go ham is if the image itself says reposts prohibited or do not share.

Thank you, and what about Matty Umbra? They drew plenty of Cub Yiff in the past, but at some point they did a total 180 and turned against it, they still use the same name now, even though their art style has drastically changed (for the worse if I might add, their original style was more akin to say – Wolfblade or Cobalt Synapse) and I guess they are Trans now too so they really only draw Female Adult stuff instead of Male Cub stuff like before… (((I don’t really care about them being Trans, that is their life their body and their business, but the big public “good optics” virtue signal rant about how awful and evil Cub Yiff is and how they hate all their older art pieces was super unsettling….)))

If I post Matty Umbra’s old material on HERE, is that okay????

@Kitsu-Negi
Yes that’s fine. The only exception is if they filed a DNP after the fact. I’m curious to see this art!

Ah I see…

god this is so real LMAOOOOOOO it really hurts my heart when people fold like buddy u were doing nothing wrong pls have faith in yourself you are fine these people are fucking crazy not you

One of the most ridiculous cases was this gay mouse who drew super cute cub boys and then married a woman who hates cub and he immediately nukes his older art and claims his new art is non-cub while drawing Asriel lol. From based to hypocrite in a matter of months.

It doesn’t matter even if you “age up” the character because SOME weirdo dipshit will try to create some bullshit reason to cancel you for it anyway.

The best thing a furry artist can do – is to just NOT GIVE A FUCK IN THE FIRST PLACE…

It’s only a drawing… of a fictional character… there are more important things to worry about….

None of these fictional characters NEED to be “protected” because they’re not Real People.

Tails The Fox, Klonoa, Ralsei, Asriel, Kit Cloudkicker, Buster Bunny – THEY’RE NOT REAL PEOPLE.

They aren’t going to thank you or reward you for “protecting them” from being drawn lewd art of.
