Fur Affinity

Fur Affinity[2] (also written as FurAffinity) is a furry-centric art community that hosts artwork, literature, photography, and audio recordings.

[5][6] Prior to the launch of Fur Affinity, the most well-known furry-centric website was an art site called SheezyArt.

[10] In the same year, it was reported that Shanghai Disneyland had included a picture from the site in a new City of Zootopia attraction without the artist's permission.

[14] The hacker redirected the domain to other sites, including a fake Shopify storefront mimicking the official website, a cryptocurrency scam, the then-officially-controlled X account, a 2017 Washington Post article, and then Kiwi Farms.

In response to the takeover, Fur Affinity invalidated all user logins to its website to mitigate the impact of the hack.

Later that day, the Fur Affinity staff reported that they had regained control of the domain and were preparing to bring the site back online, but were concerned about a sudden influx of traffic causing further issues.

"[17] Registered users are able to upload artwork, animations, literature, photography, and audio recordings (including music).

Fur Affinity also hosts Adobe Flash media and has integrated Ruffle into the site following the former's deprecation.

Posts marked as "not safe for work" are automatically restricted to registered users over 18, although many artwork whose themes are commonly seen as fetishes but not considered outright pornography have often gone unmarked by authors.

Fur Affinity has a toggleable all-"safe for work" version of the site that does not show art that has been tagged as "adult".

[24] Many users have migrated to other furry-centric websites, such as InkBunny, SoFurry, Weasyl, and Itaku as a result of the site's controversies.
