The Pornocalypse Comes For Furries
Explicitly blaming unspecified payment processors (which means Visa or Mastercard or their downstream agents), the fan/subscription platform Fansly (a large OnlyFans competitor that I don’t know much about) just banned furries “in adult contexts.” Specifically, according to 404 Media:
Fansly wrote:
“Anthropomorphic Content – Our payment processing partners classify some anthropomorphic content as simulated bestiality. As a general guideline, Kemonomimi (human-like characters with animal ears/tails) is permitted, but full fursonas, Kemono, and scalie content are prohibited in adult contexts.
Also hit by the recent pornocalypse ban-stick on Fansly were hypnosis and mind-control fetishists, catfight/wrestling enthusiasts, and public/outdoor/exhibitionist sex/nudity material.
Many Fansly users feel specifically betrayed by the promises they were made when they came to Fansly in the first place:
In 2021, OnlyFans announced that it would ban “sexually-explicit conduct” from the site, citing payment processor pressure. It reversed the decision days later, after widespread public backlash. Fansly said at the time that it was receiving “4,000 applications an hour” from creators looking to move to the site in the days after OnlyFans said it was banning sexually-explicit content.
“Thank you, we won’t let you down,” Fansly wrote on Twitter.
I’m sure that promise was sincerely meant at the time. But the pornocalypse comes for us all.

This is nothing new for furries, because while the pornpocalype comes for everyone, it has been assaulting the furries non-stop for over 25 years. Why? Because they have always had the audacity to be sex-positive. There is nothing more controversial to “polite society” and “professional companies” than sex. And the furries are utterly shameless and unrelenting in their celebration of all tastes and all diversity. Because they are a massively diverse group of people with almost nothing in common with each other except a love for what the 1990’s used to call “normal cartoons,” which is hardly a niche. They are a cross-section of humanity itself.
So for over 25 years they have constantly been bullied out of “mainstream” spaces, and forced to make their own websites that are genuinely made by the community for the community. They learned long ago what everyone else is discovering now. If you truly want a space online, you must build it for yourself, and for one another.
Furries being banned from a mainstream website is just a typical Tuesday. Always annoying but not really a problem. Because long after that “mainstream” website is gone and forgotten. The furries will still have their own websites. Because they support each other. They are the hippies of the internet.
