Is Discord biased towards Furries and what should they censor?

[CocoBat]

Ok so just before I go into my reasoning I want to say I know that SOMEONE is gonna want to call me a Furry, I'm not a Furry >:( so don't (although I don't have a problem with Furries in general), so, my reasoning for thinking this is... Discord OBVIOUSLY has policies forbidding real child pornography, but also against Lolicon (Basically young underage/young looking anime girl porn) and shota (the same except with boys), but they're somehow ok with cub art (art of underage humanoid/anthro animals) and foalcon (the same but with non anthro ponies), which I think is not much different, they take down servers sharing Loli and Shota art, but it's ok for entire servers about Cub art and foalcon or even babycon to stay up, I don't see how it's much different since the entire premise of all kinds of art I mentioned is that the characters are underage, that's the appeal to the poeple that like it and I don't see why there is no policy against such things like there is with Loli and Shota, it's uqually messed up for a bunch of people to be talking about how much they want to have sex with a very young character, saying all kinds of disgusting garbage that can apply to any kind of child porn be it drawn or real, I just don't see how it's any more ok, a big percentage of Discord's staff is furries, could it have something to do with that or do they just think differently about it? (I wanted to put more poll options but there is not enough room)

Uh, isn't loli and shota usually something that involves like a, uh, interest in? If you get my meaning... Like, as in loli doesn't just apply to girls who are underage but also adults who look younger -and then if there's NSFW fanart or anything that could be precieved as remotely sexual -even if the character is canonically of age then it's going to be considered "child pornography" -same thing with shotas.
Anyway, I'd say the reasoning behind the foalcon and cub art is that both depict characters who are not fully (if at all) human -therefore, Discord doesn't clock it... although Australia and UK both have laws against it -since it can technically come under bestiality as well as being... in a roundabout way "an imaginary child" -since, they are thought of as kids they're treated as such.

For people that like loli art the fact that the character looks like a child is still the thing they like about it even if the character is of age

[Opinion Owner]

That's what I mean though -hence the "loli doesn't just apply to girls who are underage but also adults who look younger -and then if there's NSFW fanart or anything that could be perceived as remotely sexual -even if the character is canonically of age then it's going to be considered "child pornography"" Even if the person's not a kid, they look like one, therefore, any NSFW work (unless it's them being murdered or doing drugs or something) it's going to be considered child pornography -because everything is judged by how it looks.

Doesn't it depend on the server? I use Discord myself on a server with a group of friends, we use it for discussion about all sorts of topics including sex-related stuff, gaming, anime, music, politics, and we use the voice chat features for gaming online and playing D&D. Never noticed any kind of bias either for or against furries.

I'm sure as long as you're not posting anything illegal like child porn, which I'm 100% sure you wouldn't, then you should be fine :)

[CocoBat]

I'm talking about the official Discord staff, not everyone on Discord

[WalsallGuy90]

Ah, fair enough. In that case I think it's only if it gets reported by someone. The Discord staff don't look at every server and every message, there's not enough hours in the day to do that with the amount of stuff that people post there. You should be absolutely fine!

[Rheinstahl]

That's said, discord biased against flurries? Lol, after what happened and how the furry community reacted who could blame them. Furries always react totally out of proportions and irrational, trying to hide and downplay what those people did and what they posted on discord + that discord employees tried to hide it... Extremely bad reputation and PR for discord, so I don't blame them.

[Chester_Cheeto]

It's weird how people can draw porn of an underage fictional character and not get called out for it.

[TrueAquarius]

Well I do not have discord and do not know much about it but obviously anything related to child porn should be censored.

[bangyourhead]

Sorry, all that shit is to fuckin weird for me to even answer.

[Nayrr]

Discord should censor loli, shota, cub and foalcon

[Valnac]

WTF planet are you from?

[CocoBat]

What?

[CocoBat]

Earth? I think?

[TrueAquarius]

@Valnac she is cool man. She is funny lol.

[CocoBat]

What how?

[TrueAquarius]

@CocoBat most things you post the ponies the profile pic you have it all makes me laugh.

[CocoBat]

Oh oki

[Valnac]

It was listed in sexuality and I didn’t know what you were asking. So I couldn’t offer any suggestions.

[esotericstory]

I didn't know they censored anything legal? Strange.

[JJtheBlackArrow]

Discord should only be concerned with real child porn. Fictional characters can’t be harmed by being drawn in an explicit manner, so loli/shota/cub should all be fine, but their house their rules. The obvious exception to when loli/shota is not okay is when it is clearly based on and/or indistinguishable from a real minor, as that wouldn't make it loli or shota content anymore but actual child sexual exploitation.

I think it's because they're not human is why they don't censor it. The law is against humans, not animals. ... That being said they really should because tbh that's just plain creepy.
