This was already posted to Dragoneer's thread since he wants to brag about FA being his site so bad, and I love that people are rightfully trashing on FA for being what is essentially a porn site (that allows minors to sign up and view/post fetish art, like inflation and feet, mind you) trying to take a stand on the Ukraine situation. Not even Pornhub is doing this, because people don't go to porn sites to make political stances.
That's on me for not giving a shit about Neer, or really any of the top brass in the fandom. I really do hate how the current atmosphere of the furry fandom been infested with political posturing like this, the major contributors like site owners are no exception. Anyone with more than two braincells knows it's done preemptively and means nothing cause every major content creator is so shit-scared of being called out for not issuing a public statement like with what happened with BLM in 2020. Even the apolitical users were denouncing racism in strong-worded journals and tweets, to the point you think there was a literal klan rally happening on their front yard.
Well, here's something funny: a sizable percentage of FA's userbase is actually Russian.
This fascinates me so I've been keeping an eye on it. The front's actually pretty united, with a fair number of Russians joining in on the 'krane Train. I do see a few Russian artists who seem to be going quiet and yoinking the flag off their profiles but no overt talk yet.
Speaking of such...
They usually are the cheapest to commission...allegedly.
Mikoyan's comments line up with what I was going to say. Most of the Russian furries I've come across aren't fans of their government or its actions. Honestly makes a lot of sense when you think about the online circles they hang out in and the content they consume.
Yep. The value of the ruble is shit (even moreso now) , so a lot of them just charge for what'd be a standard rate where they live while not fully considering (or caring) what stuff is on average in the furry world.
So, how long until the articles criticizing
Should be noted that I've already seen Barq catch scrutiny for being 16+ only. Barq has very much to my surprise in doing a bit of digging on Twitter, actively put stuff in place to let people know that users are under 18, but it still is fucking weird that they allow 16-17 year olds on their platform in the first place.
After reading the replies for a good ten minutes (someone mail me a benzo so I can forget this shit happened) I have come to conclusion that:
Th is the reason why I gave The Big O the
Winne Rating.
I agree that minors should not be on the app as well, though, to Barq's credit, they do at least seem to have a few protective measures in place, which is more than I could say for Howlr.
you can just give the WIP links, they forward to the archive when they’re done.
That’s actually not too far off. before the Ukraine conflict, Russians could exchange USD to roubles at a pretty high rate, compared to their regional living costs
I really don't get the mentality of these lunatics at times, is it because of the frequent clash testosterone and estrogen that slowly damages their brain, the crushing realization that no one still give a shit about them post trooning-out, or do they really think that gender is a substitute for their noticeable lack of personality?
I say that is a combination of their Gender Identity Disorder being a disorder and the massive propaganda campaign that says 'you TERFS hate non-cis people's very and simpl existences if you do not do ALL wha they want you to do!'
