i saw that, too, and i'm also pretty disappointed. Like, disclaimer, I'm completely sex-repulsed and I keep all nsfw, much less underage nsfw 1000 feet away from me.
but in light of what literally just happened with tumblr, i.e. they started off cleaning up CP (as they should), which progressed to underage art, and then banning nsfw art ENTIRELY, pillowfort coming forward with this new policy is uhhhh... a bold move to say the least.
like even though the pillowfort team seems socially conscious and good intentioned, I feel like by the virtue of the society we grow up in this is going to inevitably hurt minorities more than straight people.
i saw some discussion saying they might be trying to steer clear of Canadian obscenity laws. my hope is that if/when they have a larger audience, and feel they can fight any legal battles that might arise, they change the TOS.
for one thing, if their site gets anywhere near the size of tumblr, i doubt they can hold to their policy as written. reviewing EVERY single piece of "gray-area" art would be incredibly expensive and time consuming. so either they'd have to change the policy or starts using bots, putting us back at square one.
