-It might seem silly to ask, but I was banned from the Lemmy Digital Art community for a very unfair decision, and before posting anything here, I want to know if my type of art would be accepted. I don’t post anything explicit or considered offensive; it’s just character art and my own fantasy.
As someone who likes “furry” art, but isn’t deeply part of the community, I think these are in-group vs. out-group issues: within the community, people understand the lines between each, but outside, people lump all of these together under the furry umbrella. I understand the differences you’re talking about, but as mostly an outsider, at a glance I wouldn’t have considered them “not part of the greater umbrella of furry art”.
Yes, the confusion is common. What I mean is that even if I were “furry,” there were no rules about that. I always read the rules before joining an art community. I think the moderator made it up out of dislike or they never put it in writing lol.
The sidebar of digitalart@lemmy.world (not federated here) does currently say:
But what I’m into isn’t furry by any definition.
I get that you see there’s a difference - but the way people from outside the relevant communities see it, there isn’t.
