Looks like Rabies Bun has decided to delete all his pony content now. I seriously wish people would stop doing this. Why is it only pony content that gets this treatment? I have never seen this happen in any other fandom, ever.

There are some “legitimate” reasons, like using the same artist name for your fandom art as for your professional portfolio, and the (assumed) bias people have against fanart when hiring artists. Which if you’re doing porn (particularly fetish porn, which all MLP porn is very much so by default) if fairly understandable.
 
And of course there’s people that look at stuff they used to draw with dark or fetishy themes and then later in their life repudiate strongly enough to want it gone forever.
 
The category of “I don’t really participate in the fandom / watch the show anymore, so nuke everything” is the one I’ll never understand.
 
 
In any case, we do always try to offer anonimization / history wipe (including editing out signatures…) when someone asks for a DNP here, but ultimately it’s not our call.

It’s not that frightening to fear for someone’s artwork to be perished.
 
I once heard of a torrent with 300 GB of pony arts. 300 is pretty impressive.
 
And let’s not forget about how derpi offered help to save NSFW arts from tumbler after their new rule stroke. There will always be someone who’ll care.

There’s only one artist I sincerely miss.  
Pencils. And I mean his early works. His latest ones are just… Odd. I get the feeling that they were not drawn with love and care they were used to be drawn.
 
Princess molestia was a funny qna sometimes, keeping itself distant from lewd stuff, as a parallel to Pencils. Yet it’s been dead long ago.
 
At least we can always count on Bender to come up with cool things.

Deviantart has been a massive pain to a lot of us lately. Fortunately it looks like Retl isn’t looking to censor any other galleries.

Someone mentioned here later, but Justin just started a new life. He found a girl, they love each other, they are now parents of their own child, and will not return to brony life as he knows MLP FIM is ending.

I’d hate to live in a life where getting a partner and married and a series ending means I just quit making fanart. Feels like someone who never actually cared about being a fan and enjoying something for what it is and was only in it for the attention when it was popular.
 
But that’s just my opinion.

Lives change, and so do priorities. Especially having a kid, that one really takes a fuckton of work & dedication. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t a “real” fan, just that he’s moved on now and has other things that feel more important.

It’s mostly that DA is a business and thus depends on not having negative PR, and on payment providers that, for the same reason, don’t associate with anything remotely related to porn.
 
There’s a reason this site no longer takes Paypal donations; after the 2016 elections payment providers feared a big turn towards social conservatism and brought up (or started enforcing) rules against NSFW content/sites.

I second this confusion.
 
I suppose it meant they were afraid that if the social tides turned prude, they’d have to turn with it. Turns out, prudes don;t use the internet much anyhow, outside of facebook and political echo chambers. These companies are screwing over freedom of speech for profits, as usual. Disgusting.
