I am no longer on the DNP list for e621.net (Patreon)

(In this post I explain why I chose to be placed onto the Do-Not-Post list for e621.net, and why I've decided to reverse that decision after so many years)

11 years ago when I first began posting furry art, along with vore I also drew a lot of post-vore-scat 💩 

And through my character Madam (the Voodoo croco-gator) I ended up drawing a lot of it. Which unfortunately wound up attracting the attention of some very twisted people.

I don't mean to throw people who enjoy scat under the bus, but after a year or so of posting to FA, I became the central target of harassment for some very stalkerish scat fans Scat fans who became openly hostile whenever I drew something that didn't cater exclusively to them. And as if only to only to twist the knife, none of these fucks ever commissioned me.

So Think about that. I was drawing a very cringe, niche and unpopular fetish, yet rather than being thankful and supportive, I was being treated like shit by the self-entitled creeps fapping to it.

Blocks were circumvented. Contact info was spread around. -Even when I set up shop on Tumblr, they harassed me there too. And so finally after letting this all go on for way too long, I had to put my foot (hoof) down. There's now long gone and deleted art from me that never go posted because after being pushed too far, I made a vowed to never draw scat again.

So The DNP list on e621.net? 

Despite my expanding body of work, none of my vanilla work could be found on there. A pattern that was echoed on several other image sites as well. If you were following me on my primary accounts then you knew what I was capable of, but the worst of my followers were now spreading the false impression that I was a scat artist and only a scat artist. A reputation that did more harm than most people today may realize.

Perhaps I could have fought fire with fire by uploading images myself, but by this point I wanted to send a message to those bastards by having e621 blacklist my work from their site. The nuclear option targeted solely at the one's who needed to know that this wasn't a bluff. And it worked! It absolutely worked!

Now understandably I still carry a lot of animosity towards the whole situation, but I can't deny that overall it's lead me to becoming a better artist. The weird offbeat things I do nowadays are direct result of breaking away from the usual and trying something new.

Am I still totally opposed to drawing scat? No.
With the DNP being lifted, does that mean I'm going to start drawing some? Also no.

Please understand that I'm not ashamed on what I used to draw. And if thoroughly inspired, I'm not against drawing it again for a commissioner. But whereas scat was fun just from the sheer audacity of it (a topic I can expand on if asked), I find that the things I draw now (Fusion, Absorption, Transformation) to be world's more interesting.

Will I start posting to e621 myself? Likely not.

I use e621 primarily for reference images and personal enjoyment. So ultimately my choice to undo the DNP done out of fairness. There are so many artists that have unwittingly helped me by having their artwork there. And assuming there are others like me out there, if my artwork can help them improve then it's only fair to have my art be easily accessible too them too.
