There's cleaning up galleries and then theres this.
I read someones summary of the situation awhile ago that struck me as being very accurate. Elfwood started out inclusive - anything that could be considered interpretable as fantasy was accepted. Now it has become exclusive - and anything that can be interpreted as not being fantasy will be strictly denied. Thats a lot of grey area that just shifted from perfectly acceptable (historical/fairy tale knights and princesses for example) to suddenly being taboo content.
It was that inclusive nature to the fantasy of Elfwood that I found so agreeable. I too have some distinct issues with where they are beginning to draw further lines in the sand. :/
