Horny Furry Chat Rules Update

Hello! Apologies for wearing my moderator hat, but things have happened that made me feel the need to amend the rules a bit. Starting from now, there is a new rule for Horny Furry Chat:

• No content that glorifies or normalizes sexual acts with minors or non-furry animals, even in a fictional context. "Non-furry animal" is defined as any animal that that lacks human-like intelligence and thus cannot consent.

Update: While the statement about consent is indeed true, it did not add anything except ambiguity to the rule itself.

Update 2: Just some more clarifications:

• No content that glorifies or normalizes sexual acts with minors or non-furry animals, even in a fictional context. "Non-furry" animals are those that are visually and behaviourally similar to real life animals and lack human level reasoning.

While I understand an argument could be made that fictional depictions of acts "cannot hurt people", that's a sentiment I'm weary of allowing in a space like this.

I've also tried to word things in a way that does not exclude discussions about ferals, or roleplaying as ferals. However, that's not a group I'm too involved in, so I'd appreciate feedback if I've missed the mark there.

Of course, yiffit.net instance rules supersede rules for this community. If instance rules change or are clarified in a way that makes this rule redundant, I'll just remove it and probably just delete/close this thread.

Anyway, I'd appreciate people's thoughts on the matter; I can always revert or change the rules later. I also locked the community last night before going to bed "just in case", but it is now unlocked again.

Update as well: By the way, it's not my intention to enforce these rules with an iron fist, I'm just trying to figure out a way to keep unsavory comments out whilst still allowing a wide range of conversation topics.
