Furry Fandom and Drama General

To be fair, considering how hard it is to get into the art industry, I can't really blame them. And who could blame them for taking money from people that would rather get art than pay their rent? It's not like you know them personally, right? What's stopping you from taking an idiot's money so that you can survive instead of them? Especially when they're asking you to take it.

Because you have an eternal soul. And by that I don't mean you, you, I mean a human.

We already have babyfurs leaving their diapers everywhere and at least one babyfur blaming "trolls". It's Rainfurrest 2015 all over again!
There's a reason Eurofurence banned all diaper-related stuff. This is proof that more cons need to take that as an example, regardless of the flak they got from babyfurs acting like babies and the enablers acting like delusional parents who think their kids can do no wrong. If more took that path, it would really benefit everyone.

Most furries can't stand babyfurs, and neither can most people outside the fandom. Maybe someday this common enemy will bring the two groups together, as much resentment as they have for each other. That's probably idiotically optimistic, but one can dream.
 
Because it's a horribly unstable career which could end in tears at any time.

This. A lot of younger furries see this as an easy out or an alternative to working a normal job. My partner and I were fortunate enough to be around before the fandom became as oversaturated as it is today, and it was hard getting by on art back then. I genuinely cannot imagine trying that stunt today -- both of us later moved on to more traditional "real jobs" last decade. Too volatile.

I don't see anything wrong with trying to make furry your job ("A sucker is born every minute" and all). It can be extremely profitable if you're good enough. Just ask the people who founded Bad Dragon...

Yeah but here's the thing, Bad Dragon actually has a shitload of reach far and wide outside of the fandom these days. Sure, that's technically their "core" demographic I guess but for the past few years the company has been flirting with mainstream adult/porn conventions with quite a lot of success (link is SFW). I think even Bad Dragon's money people know it's a bad idea to put all of your financial eggs in a basket full of customers whose incomes are uncertain, to say the least.

Hell, I'd say bbmbbf could be an artcow all to himself, considering how laughably bad his stuff is and was. I've heard that people had paid him to trace things, for fuck's sake, and they specifically asked for him to trace it. Not to mention the terrible rule 34 comics.

lmao, you mean the guy who draws nothing but Sonic and Pokemon porn? I've spoken to him before, he's kind of a self-absorbed asshole (or at least he was 10 years ago, not sure if that ever changed). Make a thread, it ought to be amusing. :lol:

True. Nobody on this site really has an eternal soul.

Oh? That's even better! But yeah, that guy. I swear, the Ashchu comics alone are some of the funniest things! Nothing about them is good! The art is shit! The dialogue is some of the funniest stuff ever! It's repetitive! Not to mention the faces. Oh the faces that are made by the Pokemon in that! Any dirt you have or could dig up would be most appreciated!

BBMBBF showed up (very briefly) on a message board I used to screw around on ~12 years ago. He didn't stay long because when he showed up I think he was expecting people to kiss his ass and instead people were like "lol who are you". I don't really remember how much he chimped out, I just remember him calling me a bitch or something and then he quit posting not long thereafter. He may have actually been banned.
 
TBF, people have done that to me, too, so I switched to the charge up front thing. It's not like I make much money, or even have that much for them to steal, but still, it sucks when they just steal the shit. My only hope is that the majority of pledges Jeph Jacques gets for Questionable Content are fake, too. God, I hate that fucking comic.
Dumbing of age is worse.

It's weird how certain webcomics are legacy comics (Penny arcade, QC) that coast on past success. Sorry to hear about the issues with your fanbase, bruh.

Well not my fanbase, per se, such as it is. The only issue with it is that it is too small!

tbh paywalling is something that makes me despise an artist.

I hope it goes the way of Rainfurrest in all other respects too.

The main problem with relying on furries for money is that, while fools and their money are soon parted, many furries are such fools that they're unemployed autismal tards with little to no disposable income.
 
I think you forgot about all the furries who are into vore. You'd only be aiding them in their depravity if you did that.

Also, what happens to people like @Super Collie ? Would she be running the whole shebang?

I forgot about all the fetishistic cannibals. If Jeffrey Dahmer had been born 20 years later, he could have been a furry.

They're even worse than the babyfurs. At least their diaper fetish isn't actually lethal, though it smells like it is.
 
They should really use the hotel camera footage to jail some of these fucking degenerates. A stint behind bars might let these sickos know their bioterrorism just isn't cool.
They need to be banned from all cons, since they've proven to be too unable to rein in their shit flinging behavior for polite or even degenerate society.
