Neopets is a great example because in that other half hasbio is still around and since they see fluffys as a product (which in such headcannon they are) treating them in a mass production churn it out regardless of practicality would be very on brand

as long as the money flows
and ye mr owl got it, didnt know the question was clickable :+1:

as for the original question, id say what is a fluffy is in the eye of the beholder and its hard to moderate because we dont know what the OP was thinking as far as his ideaof what i fluffys for me a fluffy is a tubby loaf shaped pony pig looking thing, that seems to be the general conception that gets adopted, i feel as long as someone is willing to share there creations as long as they see it as “on topic” let them cook, we could end up pushing away high quality artist of the idea of “NOPE NOT A FLUFFY TRY AGAIN”

Ripoffmcgee ill use as a example, i never saw his content as being fluffy related, i would however say he contributed alot on the basis he was a very talented artist.

Does your “fluffy” looks like the lovechild of a pony and a pig? :white_check_mark:

Does your fluffy need a whole wiki to explain why is part human and has a tendency to choke on human penises? :x:

If your creation falls on the second… fuck it, fuck it sideways with a rusty rake

To me, if you grab someone who dropped this fandom on the early days and you show them one of the oc and say " oh yeah, this a fluffy" then its a fluffy. It’s something you can easily recognize as is. I dunno if a half human half pony can recognize

Sadly this issue goes far further then just anthros, NOW THAT is a real issue. i dont think anthro posts would drive anyone, not many anyway, but logging on the home page to see a foal getting the Piledriver4000 from a owner thats gonna leave a big impression on what someone thinks this community is.

This isnt R34 this isnt E621

It will not leave an impression. Such content is locked behind controversial. Something that new users won’t figure out at first

And hopefully they never figure it out

Oh this is gonna be a shit show.

Every time we have this discussion we always seem to cut our community in half. Then the site dies.

So here’s my definition of a fluffy and fluffy content.

A fluffy is a biologically engineered multicoloured horse creature that humans use as pets, entertainment, and profits. What Users want to see is them exploring the world that either accepts or rejects them in the best or worst of ways.

Personally the purpose of these discussions never really go anywhere, besides ostracizing a few users and chasing them out.

Ironically he would rudely yell at people all the time for theirs.

There’s a lot I don’t like to see and a lot of just straight up porn that’s disgusting to me but I just block it. I agree with most people that we need to keep their mannerisms consistent and make sure they’re separate from both humans and animals. That being said I don’t see the problem with expanding it into things like BFM mentions about bird species. Again, I prefer OG stuff but I don’t see anything wrong with letting people experiment a bit. This shit can get stale fast without any variety.
After the recent discussions I’d be happy to see anthros and OCs and all that weird shit gone but they’ve already got their own groups and it just doesn’t seem especially fair to take that away from them.
I was gonna say that I haven’t seen any OCs or fluffies acting like people but I remembered a certain artist that posts the cringiest shit I’ve ever seen that oversteps the boundaries imo
I’m not opposed to giving people a space who want to post some more… controversial stuff. But if that’s all you post then you don’t belong here. This isn’t a porn site.
I’ll stand by that at least. There’s a place for it here technically but I fundamentally disagree with it.

Ok if we’re cool I’ll delete my messages now

I’ve been seeing you replying for like 20 minutes now

I know some people don’t like anthro fluffies, but I still do it even if it makes people despise me. It’s a hobby that people around and before me enjoyed because it was interesting concept. It just has to be done right and if nsfw tarnishes it then I’ll stop.

This won’t fix every issue in the community. Personally I think there’s too much complaining and not enough creating.

Sorry for the wait this site won’t let me type without closing drafts.

Yeah I’m really torn on the issue. Being completely honest I don’t think most of your stuff belongs here but that’s not up to me and I’m not gonna be pushy about it

It doesn’t matter. No one knows what they want to see here.

I mean I think I do
