I guess I have a curse of artwork deletion. This time artwork “Cuddly” was deleted from r/furry subreddit as well as all of my comments on this artwork.
The post has an attached artwork image and a story. The story and the artwork was meeting the guidelines of r/furry subreddit. It was SFW version artwork where two characters were cuddling on the bed.
The only reason I can think of it is that they have NO STOCKINGS! What a herecy! These two characters didn’t cover their feet. Like in TwoKinds – not covering your feet considered a slutty behavior:

This was not the first time when my SFW versions of artwork are being removed. There were also one incident on Resonite Discord Server and two incidents subreddit and r/dragons, which one of those I was able to appeal.
r/dragons incidents
r/dragons is mostly fine subreddit, I had once moderation pending post because a lot of people reported my artwork sexually explicit (Reddit, Source), but moderation of r/dragons responded quickly and allowed post.
The next incident happened with this artwork: (Reddit, Source). This time community and moderation team thinks that this is sexually explicit image, even there are no such intention to make this one explicit – I agree, this might be considered as suggestive, because of bedroom eyes and camera angle.
Also respect for r/dragons moderation team so far for quick responds (at least they respond lol)
Resonite incident.
There were also one incident on Resonite Discord Server. I even stopped posting artwork and left Resonite Discord Server because of every time there is a drama around when I post my artwork, because “text is too sexually explicit” or Resonite moderation sees kinks where they don’t exist.
What about NSFW artworks?
This is not only about SFW versions of artworks. My NSFW artworks are also affected by this. The last incident that I can remember is r/yiff – my post being deleted for undisclosed reason.
This is sad for an artist like me, who started to draw recently, seeing that my artwork being removed from social media for no potential reasons. And the worst – I can’t even know why my artwork being removed on Reddit for example: Reddit Moderation of r/yiff and r/furry just ghosts me.
But you have NSFW versions of these artworks. So that’s a skill issue!
I have NSFW versions of my artwork, but they usually being drawn after SFW version was drawn and the story is not connected in any ways between them. They are separate artworks and should not affect each other. Also all of my NSFW artworks being posted on separate accounts.
What next?
To be honest, I have no idea what to do in this situation other than just continue drawing and posting artwork. I’m already posting my artwork in more independent communities like Lemmy and BlueSky, but Reddit and Discord are still biggest social platforms in the world.
I will start to make a table or a list where I will write down where and for what reason my artworks being deleted.
