CompliantCoon		03 Oct 2016 22:05 PDT @ the "foreskin" vs "uncut" and "intact" journal Keywords exist to connect people with the artwork they are looking for. While you may disagree with the connotations behind terms such as "intact" and "uncut" people looking for drawings of furs with foreskins are likely to use such terms in their searches. Why make it harder for them to find your artwork that they might enjoy just because you don't like the terms?
		08 Oct 2016 06:13 PDT Re: @ the "foreskin" vs "uncut" and "intact" journal Hi there, and thanks for writing! You've made some good points regarding people accessing my art via the keywords system, but I feel taking action is preferable to nothing or perpetuating a status title that arises from the suffering of others; even if doing so hamstrings my artwork. This is especially true if it helps someone rethink or change their perspective. You touched on one of the most disheartening things about using these search terms, which is when users are "looking for drawings of furs with foreskins" it actually boils down asking the website "please do not show me anyone circumcised." In a natural situation, those uncircumcised would be absolutely normal, and those who are altered would need titles. But, you then say, how do I track down those with foreskin? Ah, you're not trying to, you're just avoiding those without. Damian		neoneon
