Under the new rules, mosaics must make the original form indiscernible, and light blurring, transparent mosaics, and solid fills with lines or grids count as deficiencies. The revision applies to all previously posted works, with only six days of grace before implementation. Creators with thousands of works protested on social media, citing impossible deadlines and considering migration. Fantia cited strict legal guidance from authorities but did not initially disclose the source.","whyItMatters":"The retroactive application and short grace period force creators with large back catalogs to either comply quickly or leave the platform, a decision that could reshape where doujin adult content is hosted.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eFantia\u0026#39;s May 19 announcement gave creators six days to bring every existing work into compliance with the new mosaic standards.
