Fantia Reverses Controversial 2D Content Rules After Creator Backlash

Auto Draft

Japanese creator platform Fantia has abruptly backed away from its recently revised censorship guidelines affecting 2D content, apologizing to creators and confirming that it will temporarily return to its previous standards while new discussions take place.

According to the announcement, Fantia is currently holding further discussions with the legal institution that raised concerns about the guidelines:

Auto Draft

[Important Announcement]

Regarding the recent revision of our guidelines, we sincerely apologize for the significant confusion caused to all creators.

We are currently holding renewed discussions with the legal institution that raised concerns, regarding future policies and standards for the 2D genre.

As a result, we are reviewing the screening standards for the 2D genre, and until new standards have been established, we have decided to return to the previous standards.

Details regarding the new standards and their implementation date will be announced again as soon as possible.

Therefore, for creators working in the 2D genre, we ask that you please wait until our next announcement before making any modifications or revisions to past works.

We once again apologize for the anxiety and concern this situation has caused everyone.

While Fantia did not provide further details in this announcement regarding what the final standards will look like, the message makes clear that the recently announced rules are no longer being enforced as originally presented, at least until revised guidelines are released.

This move at least shows that the site has show backbone when it comes to giving users what they want, though, it’s uncertain whether or not the new guidelines will end up being worse.

  • I don’t care, I genuinely hope most of the people who left for fanbox or ci-en stay there.
    f♥♥k “Japanese” faggot companies that bend the knee to westoids. I still stand by what I said a few days ago after they immediately rolled out some new machine translation s♥♥t after these new censorship rules, watch them start implementing ways for visa/mastercard to be used easier.

    • And this is the real kicker

      >As a result, we are reviewing the screening standards for the 2D genre, and until new standards have been established, we have decided to return to the previous standards.

      Yeah, this shows they still want to bend the knee with even more censorship to appease some foreign entities at some point.

      No forgiveness needed as this response shows there was no remorse.

        • Unfortunately even with that being implemented in some areas, platforms like DLsite still have the censorship they enacted to appease westerners in place.

          Also, going back to this, to sum up what a Japanese guy in their tweets said “people already deleted their posts, idiots”. And I want to add on: their accounts, too.

          Some of these artists just abandoned posting lewds online because of this because they didn’t want to go to fanbox or ci-en or any other platform. It’s basically lost media now for aggregator sites and image boards that didn’t get their posts uploaded in the last few months, if you know you know.

          It’s so fucked

        • They still have no issues with you using their cards for OnlyFans, It’s drawn and fictional stuff they seem to have issues with, which if you ask me, leads all the way back to the tiny hats having a melt down over their P0rn industry not making as much money as H3ntai so they want to shut it down, Pathetic of them really, lmao.
