We decided not to allow cub art because the law on it is incredibly muddy and unclear, and we wanted to err on the side of caution. I personally felt no qualm with allowing such content, but we unfortunately couldn't.
To be clear though, the reason we put emphasis on that is because we want to stress that our site isn't purely furry-oriented, and we want to cultivate a site where people from all backgrounds feel comfortable joining. We figure that with both our group system and tag filtering (something DeviantART doesn't have), that's very much feasible. So if for any reason, a furry member only wants to see art of animals, they can put their settings to do as much. Pretty convenient, I think.
