Well. Hello everyone, I'm the new founder.

Journals / Personal

A great responsibility was placed upon my shoulders yesterday. After years of being a part of this group, I have been chosen as the new founder, the new head. I want to thank Sonic for everything, and that I will keep this group together like he did.

My first act as founder is to open up a contest/suggestions for a new icon! This group has been naked and barren for far too long! If any of you know of/can draw a new icon, message me, and we'll get it done! NOTE: The icon you see is only temporary, and it will be replaced if a better one can be found.

Second! I'll be opening a new section in the gallery. Fan Fiction. Let's see if we can't get the creative juices flowing again! Let's see some new fan art too.

Third! We will keep ourselves civil and respectable. Ignore the trolls and people just looking to start a fight. It goes without saying that goes for all of you as well.

Let's carry on Sonic's dream as long as we can. I'll be seeing you later.

ShadowWalker3.

And thank you all. Much love!

F.A.Qs
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE F.A.Q BEFORE YOU JOIN THE GROUP AND POST ANY COMMENTS

1. We are not homophobic nor support it in this group. In fact we even have a policy against it. We just aim to filter out Non canonical Mature content. When the group was first created I didn't know the difference between Yaoi and Yaoi slash, and at the time I thought to aim at yaoi slash first. Trust me I didn't think it would bring this much conflict, we don't exactly like arguing with people time and time again about this group. However please acknowledge that if I could I definitely would change the name of the group, because despite what you might say we honestly aren't homophobes and we aren't a hate group either. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we're not faultless I'm just saying that perhaps in the past we were a hate group, and I will admit as the founder I had very little understanding. However I do now, which is the reason I say we should aim to censor and filter hentai, yaoi and yuri instead of get rid of it. We understand now that people will like what they like, getting rid of all things that are non canon is absurd and that despite the fact that not everybody likes us, if we do censor and filter non canonical things into certain websites it will benefit those who want to see it, and those who do want to see it. We know that not everyone will agree. But we never claimed to be people pleaser's, however like I said before that doesn't mean that we want to argue with anyone. In our experience long lasting arguments most times are pointless because it becomes a game of who can make the longest reply and who can make the last reply, and that doesn't get anyone anywhere. So as a group we don't ever aim for conflict and we do our best to avoid it. But we accept in life it is just one of those things that happens. But please try to understand us. We have faced many conflicts with non canon fans and we've had some harsh enemies most groups would have become hate groups by now but we aren't, in fact we've gone to the opposite direction. I guess you could say we are tough but fair. 2. We are not an anti group any more but more of a censoring awareness group. 3. We have many reasons for doing this, however one main reason for me is for children and parents, because sometimes you can find yaoi/slash even with the safesearch on. And even with parent supervision it only takes a second to see picture 4. To all those who agree and want to join, don't be afraid to and send a request. Stand up and speak out against character abuse! 5, Don't be afraid to fight and when you need to fight, but if so you must find a reason. 6, We DO NOT aim to completely get rid of slash but to censor/filter most of it, however we do plan to do something about KIDS MEDIA. 7, Any homophobic art or members (admins included will be gotten rid of). 8, MAKE SURE YOUR ARTWORK ISN'T/DOESN'T HAVE: SEXUAL THEMES VIOLENCE HEAVY LANGUAGE HOMOPHOBIC A SCREENSHOT A DEMOTIVATIONAL POSTER HATE-ART DEATH THREATS STOLEN (ART THIEVES WILL BE REMOVED FROM THIS GROUP) SLASH/PAIRINGS (WHETHER IT'S YAOI, YURI OR HENTAI. WE'RE NOT ACCEPTING IT) COUPLES (WHETHER THEY'RE HET, YAOI, YURI AND EVEN CANON. NO COUPLES WHATSOEVER) REMEMBER NO COUPLES ALLOWED EVEN IF THEY ARE OC'S 9, Make sure try your best at your art, all genre's are acceptable: humorous encouraging stamps serious comics etc 10, No trolling, even if a troll is annoying you just block them and report them, do not start trolling them yourself. 11, Please try as hard as you can not to respond to flamers; just like trolls all you need to do is block and report them. 12, Not every stranger who comments here is an enemy, some are just asking questions about us, if a stranger is not being offensive don't be offensive to them, instead answer them calmly and do not hide EVERY comment that isn't positive.

I think it's funny how people here preach against yaoi and yuri like it's genocide against 6 million people...

I think the owners of the group need to educate the members more to give them a better understanding of yaoi and yuri. They're not 'OMG EVIL CORRUPTERS OF THE MIND', they're just illustrations depicting homoerotic love. And whilst I understand this group is not about homphobia, I think a lot of these uneducated opinions about yaoi being the work of the Devil are driven from plain homophobia.

My word won't help, but if you say something, I'm sure it will get to people's minds.

So, it's mainly the pornographic non canon slash you want to take down, not the more 'fluff' like non canon slash, correct?

~Servius88 Jan 29, 2013

Yaoi fangirls gave real gays an undeserving bad reputation.

~BlackEvilSkull666 Jan 27, 2013 Student Traditional Artist

Yaoi is offending homosexuals and giving them bad names.

I like yaoi/yuri, which means I'm sick :3 that's okay, I LOVE to be pervert!

~Mloun Dec 24, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

more than 1000 members and no icon ?

~Rock-Lee-Haters Dec 20, 2012

Nobody here doesn't know really know what yaoi, yuri and hentai...
They are all genre of anime and manga. If It's yaoi, there will be sex between men or boys. If it is yuri there will be sex between women or girls. And for hentai, well everyone knows...
I'm not bashing either sides, just saying what they are... I really don't mind if people like it or not.
If you don't like it when people pair two characters that do not have any feelings or desire for each other then it is call slash or crack (I think. Correct me if I am wrong)

*SonicForTheWin2 Dec 1, 2012 Student Digital Artist

listen people, for the lovers of yaoi that bitch, read this please, maybe you can get things straight, NOT EVERYONE CAN LIKE THE SAME CRAP!!! ok!? i mean really?! holy shiz, if you dont like this group then stay out of it, do not comment, and dont even call us "homos" either! because we're not, whoever started that is a ligament moron, i mean really?! come on! please, i have more common sense not to brag or bitch, people, get over it, not everyone can like the same thing, get over it, if anyone keeps this crap up on this group or any other anti yaoi group i am in, i swear, people, they will most likely be banned for their stupidity of hate and love, so if anyone wants to argue this with me, go right ahead, but be warned, i am sure i can come up with several more ways than you can, because i have common sense not to brag, i am sorry, but please, act maturer and smarter

thank you for reading this comment, i am sorry -n-
