Furry Fandom and Drama General

[RabiesTheRedneck]

These fucking people cause problems literally everywhere they go. Adding to your reading list, Metokur's Deviants video is mandatory viewing if you want to see how they operate and try to cover and run damage control for each other:

TLDW: lawsuit threats, false flagging and lots and lots of gay ops.

Personal schizo theory: given this community's past behavior, how close-knit they are and how they collectively react to being ridiculed, I think this whole thing was probably coordinated by some popufurs who were into it as a kind of fake campaign to normalize and spread their dumb fetish, "everyone else is doing it" after all. The love bombing and nauseating overly positive personal stories about how great they all are seem so inauthentic to me.

Thanks for reminding me of this incident, now I get to be MATI about it all over again.

I don't care if I sound like the furfag equivalent of Albert Fish, lemme redpill you. We furries operate 100% identically to "god's chosen". Apply every wignat conspiracy theory about das juden but to how the furry fandom behaves and it makes sense.

I mean hell, it even happened here. CIAnigger being a cryptofurry who subverted the board to help other furries is textbook handrubbing behavior.

You stupid goyim sapiens just don't notice.

I figure this is the best place to talk about it, Some artists are freaking out about Pixiv and fanbox. Apparently Pixiv is not longer allowing loli/underage art. I've only seen bits and pieces about it, but it might be worth looking into.

There is always a good chimp out or two when these term of service changes happen.

Issues with payment processors. Visa and Mastercard are clamping down more and more on things that could get them nailed for aiding in the distribution of CP and rape in certain jurisdictions.

There's been an interesting twitter thread on child predators within the furry community that went up while the Farms were down:

Jon is a "catholic therapist" and I don't think it's a good idea to mix faith with work, especially in psychology. He's not wrong in saying these problems exist, but getting combative with degenerates on twitter and then circlejerking with his buddies in the mentions isn't signs of someone I would wanna take seriously.
Even if he does have a point, all that means it'll go into the void.

Why are they complaining, at least they get to opt out this time; when stuff like dall-e was being worked on, DeviantArt and other 'art' sharing sites were up for grabs by the creators of the dataset(s) (at least I'm sure they were by the results you get when you type in something like DeviantArt adoptables) either by scraping the site directly or indirectly through something like Google images.

Nothing's stopping anyone with a nvidia gpu released in the last 2 years from just training their own stable diffusion build on deviantart. The cat's out of the bag already, screech all they want about companies doing it but randos who don't need to care too much about IP law are having a field day.

In the words of Amy’s Baking Company,
“You are all punks. Nothing, you are all nothing. We are laughing at you. All of you, just fools. We have God on our side, you just have your sites.”

I'm guessing you mean the places like Europe and Canada where they're locking people up for cartoons and other fiction of 'underage' characters?

Such fictional material is illegal in most parts of the world including cases here in the US.

I've only seen bits and pieces about it, but it might be worth looking into.

Considering that Pixiv is the Japanese equivalent to deviantart, it's definitely something that's worth looking into. Hell, a Pixiv thread might be interesting.

There's already a thread for pixiv horrors. Maybe a thread for the communities themselves would be warranted, but it's really hard to follow anything there if you don't know Japanese.

A thread about the Pixiv community could be fun to research and talk about, and ironically I was planning on making one at some point, but I decided not to because I don't know Japanese (I just started learning it) and it might end up being shit. So a thread on it is probably not going to happen, at least for now. (Someone else might do it, Idk.)

 

[ExplosiveTeddybear]

I only follow Japanese artists on Pixiv, and there's honestly not much drama to find there. Mostly cause the majority of their audience is also Japanese, and they're much more like the old-school internet crowd, that only really deal with what they like, and ignore what they don't. Nor do they go out of their way to find shit to be offended by and throw a shitfit about in the comments. The most drama you'll get is people (usually rightfully) complaining that an artist traced something, which mostly ends in an apology, the artist disappearing, or both.
The Japanese may be massive pervs, but they're at least a lot more civilized than furries or (western) weebs.

Now, the  western artists on there, you're more likely to find fun drama around, or in their comments, cause they pull in the standard western audience with the associated shitflinging and dramabaiting.

Minor event but I find it amusing.
After mocking the "Buy blue checkmark" policy on Twitter about a week ago, Sean seems to have decided to double down and add his very own in FurAffinity. For just 800 USD you can now buy a permanent checkmark for his ancient site, which will show a "I payed 8$ for this" when hovered over and not do anything else. Sean is finally learning how to monetise his audience, it seems!
Comments are disabled on the FA post, sadly, but they are enabled on Twitter.

Personal lolcow, but I think it's worth posting because it's very WingofRedemption-y. A furry youtuber by the name of Raeal The Protogen had a tism over adverts on their Twitch, because their fans, presumably mostly kids, keep ree-ing over ads that Raeal is trying to "earn a living" from (sounds familiar doesn't it?).

It's gotten to such a contentious point that Raeal has banned the mention of Ads in his chat from here on out, and wants to transition to Youtube in hopes of improving this anti-advert situation.

 

[NevskyProspekt]

So Salvestro Minotaur, a pretty decent anthro artist who specializes in clean artwork decided to post this generally wholesome and inoffensive image onto twitter:

Note the lack of anything explicitly Christian aside from mentioning God (which, in isolation, doesn't necessarily have to imply the Abrahamic God).



Of course, this being the increasingly cult-like furry fandom (well, the terminally online subsection of it) it was like dropping a hornet's nest onto a bulldog ant colony.







The most obsessive poster in the peanut gallery is somebody named Slyweazal. Naturally, they play the role of the anti-theist who slings scripture out of context to justify their hatred of religion in general and Christianity in particular. Of course after a while their actual reason for doing so comes out. Orange man bad and put kids in cages, Republicans hate gays, etc.








To be fair, there were some in the comments who supported Salvestro though they were in the clear minority while those in opposition became increasingly unhinged.

Salvestro: *gives non-nominal Christian message*
Heathen furries: 'Wait! It's so bright! My eyes hurt! STOP! It burns! Ow! Stop! Help me! It burns!'

In this world, 'inoffensive' and 'mentionin God' are antonyms.

Either way, I remember him. He got a nice niche following in FurAffinity, thoug he left because FurAffinity and Twitter were being distractions to him:

I... actually found him admirable, though that may be cause I fit wit his niche, though I merely looked from afar.

On the message itself, even if that referred to a non-Abrahamic God, that message is clearly Christian due to the use of the word 'revere' and 'honor', the abstinence from pornography, and the call of actually being a role model to children.
Also, I point and laugh at omametech being misogynist, given how social justice warriors tend to be radically feminist.
I also point and laugh a TamOtter, since the only way that message is forcing his religi ont others is if bringing up your eligion at all is automatically forcing.
I say tha they all needed that message, even if they reacted extremely negatively towards the message. Optimistic this may be, the furry fandom would be a far better place if they all followed Salvestro's words.

By the by, did you notice tha the avatars of the anti-Christian crowd and pro-Christian crowd have distinct æsthetics?

The pro-Christian/more moderate ones tend to have much better painting and storybook art, like something you would find coming out of the works of C.S. Lewis, Beatrix Potter and Robert C. O'Brien or in the margins of medieval manuscripts. Maybe I should compile the accounts of more sensible furfags, furry-adjacents and artists who specialize in anthropomorphic characters, at least so we can appreciate a little island of sanity in the (at times literal) shit show that is the fandom.

Yeah but then you'd get shouted down by hypersexual coomers for just merely existing.

Remember what happened to the furs that tried to do their own sub furry community for SFW stuff?

And then there's what happens when the "nice Christian boys" decide it's too much work/not enough profit to be clean and decide to go full down the degeneracy slope for attention and/or money.
