Closing Pounced will shift activity, but will it go to a better place?įurry dating is part of a unique community. Furfling, Furrymate and Bronymate are pay sites sharing ownership that were covered in one of my first furry news exposes about deceptive commercial practices targeting fandom for profit. Here’s some editorial elaboration.įurrtrax is still open as this posts – a free personals site offering nonprofit service for furries/by furries. Beyond that is anti-free-speech, anti-business, and intrusive paternalism of a law that has collateral damage on stuff like harmless dating. My article suggested that nobody wants trafficking abuse, but sex work isn’t illegal everywhere, it exists everywhere and can be called a healthy consenting adult issue. It particularly could require administration that sounds easy on paper, but makes an untenable burden in practice.įOSTA is meant to protect assumed victims of sex trafficking, but falsely makes “victims” and “sex work” the same thing. A statement on Pounced discussed ill-defined wording that made the law overkill and how the smallest organizations may face the worst liability. Yesterday’s article covered the closing of Pounced, a long-lived furry dating and personals site, out of fear of legal liability under a controversial new law, FOSTA.
This is yet another instance of Congress using a flamethrower to address an issue rather than a scalpel.- Zaphod Birblebrox March 24, 2018 I met my boyfriend of 5 years through Pounced, as well as some other awesome furs.
