I understand that FA has some SFW but lets face it FA is a porn site It is labeled as such by paypal, and they even ban your account and the artists if you so much as mention Fur Affinity.
That is simply not true. I've bought many commissions from artists on FA, and the payment message I use when paying through PayPal is, "Here is payment from FoxWolfie, for the art we discussed on Fur Affinity." I also talked on the phone with PayPal about a failed transaction between me and an artist, and they had zero issues with Fur Affinity. I wasn't buying porn though. PayPal would be utterly stupid to block anything with FA's name on it, since most of it is not porn. I've been on FA for over eight years, and never bought porn, let alone sexual themed art. I know that PayPal has issues with porn transactions, and I know people who have had their accounts frozen because they left comments on their PayPal like, "I can't wait to see my character taking some huge cock!" Gee, maybe they had their account frozen for being stupid enough call attention to their porn - not because they use FA.
You are also just plain wrong in saying that most artists use this as a porn site. The actual submission statistics completely disagree with that statement. The most recent submission stats I found from 2014-04-24, show:
General - 53.78% (7,149,922)
Mature - 7.56% (1,005,166)
Adult - 8.90% (1,182,577)
Deleted - 29.76% (3,955,935)
------------------------------
Total - 100% (13,293,600)
The majority of the submitted art here is General by far. It is more than three times the amount of the Mature and Adult submissions combined. Even if every single deleted submission was adult, which it surely wasn't, the General art would still be in the majority here. The deleted stuff was probably of all types, due to artists drama-purging entire galleries and stuff like that. So where's this 80 percent porn content you speak of? Yak posts the stats about once every year or so.
I will admit that an Adult submission probably gets up to double the views that a similar quality General submission gets. I've somewhat confirmed that by looking at the view and fave counts on submissions where an artist makes multiple versions of the same art - both Adult and General. Their Adult versions usually get 50 to 100 percent more faves and views than their General counterparts. Even assuming double the views, General still outnumbers views of Adult and Mature combined. This is clearly not a porn site. I don't appreciate being grouped under your porn umbrella. Most of my best friends here are not here to see porn either. Some are, and that doesn't bother me at all, but even they don't call FA a porn site. It's an art site, and porn just happens to be one of the many things that is allowed - and it's very far from being in the majority. It's no different than an art museum, where you will sometimes see porn exhibits, and those porn exhibits usually bring in lots of people, but they still aren't considered porn museums. People still think of them as art museums. That's basically what FA is. Some of us come to see the porn exhibits, and others come for all the other stuff.
