Furry Fandom and Drama General

Got some shit on NaomiRomeroArt/Anxiety Fox from ~Japanese Furries~ on Line.

TLDR version, having 20k+ followers means rules don't apply and you can rig a lottery if you beg the day before.

Mochiri Works announces commissions for new fursuits, including 2 slots for people to submit their own original designs. This is the first time she's accepted designs from other people on a global scale, so obviously a lot of people are planning to apply.
Tweet archive: https://archive.fo/RBk0l

She adds a tweet (3rd one down on the archive) to clearly indicate she cannot make characters based on copyright, which she's elaborated on the last time she opened commissions clearly stating:

・Characters that resemble anime characters will not be accepted.
Furaffinity archive: https://archive.fo/CoCHV

This is mostly due to Japan having a huge faux par about copyrights and doujin artists etc. getting into shit for it. In Mochiri's defence she genuinely might not have realized as she's never expressed an interest in anime. Naomi may very well have just pulled the wool over her eyes.

The day before the commissions are due to open Naomi Romero visits Mochiri in person and makes purchases from her booth at Design Fes.

Commissions open and Mochiri is flooded with applications, she confirms that the winners will be chosen by lottery.
Same link as before scroll down: https://archive.fo/RBk0l

The winners are chosen and Naomi is one of the winners, no surprise there. She creates an account for her new fursuit, one named Hero that is the spitting image of her furry art of Deku from Boku no Hero Academia. Not even subtle, a straight up copyright character. So not only does she manage to "win" a lottery against hundreds of other applicants, but her character is accepted despite being against Mochiri's terms and conditions.

Proof she claims the character is Deku and this isn't a co-incidence: https://archive.is/QwUwy

Japanese users start flipping their shit at how she gets to break the rules, mostly among themselves but a few take it to her newly created fursuit account. Unfortunately most of them got suspended and the kemono_hero account even got suspended for a short while. There was another person today who I managed to archive when I thought "shit i should probably cap this" but I actually didn't expect it to keep going.

I'm not gonna bother posting the Line caps over them being upset and discussing it because there's the hard facts, but some of them are threatening to throw stuff over the suit if they see it at a con and lots of racist foreigner weeaboo comments. Fun times.

Edit: I should point out that it's not even salt over not getting a slot, some of the people involved actually own Mochiri suits (or worse, KLine).
please keep us updated this shit makes me anxious
 
Update on this shit, definitely a rigged lottery. I actually feel sorry for those who applied fairly, if she was going to make Naomi a fursuit why not do a private commission like she's done in the past?

One of mochiri's terms was that the design can't be changed once accepted but here we go! Naomi has now renamed the account since my post and the same jp user before confronted mochiri.

This is certainly a case of cheating or mochiri's idea of "lottery" isn't the same as English. Considering skullbird won the skull suit last year and our friend rainandmaple got the eidolon it's pretty obvious she chooses who gets her suits.

Further images clearly show Mochiri receiving gifts from Naomi the day before in addition to Naomi making a large purchase from her stall.

Now she insists she didn't bribe Mochiri and that Mochiri designed the character when the application was for a character designed by someone else. Note the design, name and Twitter account were only changed from Deku after she was called out. She now insists the design is actually her.

Link to the original Twitter where she had her design up from last post : http://archive.is/EU9Bi

(Also sorry this isnt my screenshot it's from line.) So yeah, kinda hard to believe she's not lying.

Edit: I doubt there'll be any more on this since the JP furries are just planning to pretend the suit doesn't exist and shit talk her in private. But I'll probably be keeping an eye on Naomi to see if she pulls anymore bs out.

Double edit: they got her suspended again lmao http://archive.is/HLdB1

This is more of the spergings of a furry than drama but: a furry goes on a long ass tangent on how a cartoon about 4 boys in Colorado gave a rise to fascism. It's length could rival the tweet chains moviebob made and if it were a forum post, it could rival the long post autism of @Jaimas.

I read some of it and while it was funny, I also just found myself getting angry. Namely because this person is a fucking idiot giving this stuff way more credit than it ever deserves. Also, I’m legitimately offended by them essentially saying that making fun of both sides of an argument is bad and how they call all right-wingers extremists when they’re the ones blaming a comedy that prides itself in mocking everyone for the rise in fascism in the world. The irony is great and them not seeing it is mind-boggling.

Context, nigga. Give us some context. What even is the information in this post? This is a drama forum, not an art project.

In reverse order: Maybe totse is in Toledo? If so, F.

And Gryphoneer is so close, so close to a truth I've been pondering for a while, though he's drawing the wrong conclusion: The Right has a lot of positions it's easier to get seriously passionate about than the Left. You think abortion is literally murder and sending the nation to Hell? That beats 'womens rights, shitlord' as a motivator. Same with 'maybe no shooty bang bangs' and 'well they literally want to take our guns and fuck *that*'. Or 'we borrow this land from our children' vs. '...but that means no more jobs in this area pretty much ever why don't you move already'.

Also, if a cartoon makes you give up on politics, you might be, well, one of those kids that the Left's been trying to get to vote for decades with highly variable success. Sorry for the only-vaguely-furry content.

I have no idea either, they just dropped those images in that telegram channel, saying only "So there's this pedofur called Marcus Lambert, he dates a 13 year old furry twink." After everything, it shouldn't mean very much to me relatively, but another straw goes onto the camel's back.
 
does Mochiri have a history of doing unfair lottery tactics?

I don't even know what to say right now. Mochiri is a big motherfucker suit maker and I'd be part of hundreds of people that'd love to own a suit from them. If it's irrevocably proven true that the original design slots were rigged from the start, why fucking try? They have the ability to make amazing unique designs in a wearable space and instead we're getting cockblocked by shitty anime characters. Bullshit.

I'm like 10% mad and 90% depressed. Trash. That's what this all is.

So, like, what says that the person is only thirteen? It says "13 for 18" which I have no clue what that means and I wasn't thinking it had to do with age (unless it's some sort of code by willing underaged people who want to fuck pedos), but the background with the bulges makes me doubt it. Most people aren't going to draw nsfw stuff for underaged furries unless they're pedos or underaged themselves. I say this namely because the most I've seen where something like that happens is when the kid is tricking others into thinking they're eighteen when they're not or it's just assumed people with the balls to commission lewds are legal adults. Now, it's entirely possible, but I guess I just need more evidence before I start calling for someone's crucifixion. If it is true, though, that's ridiculously fucked up. Never heard of this popufur before, though. What's he known for?

I wish I had a dollar for every time a furry has done that thing where they post to their social media and try to convince themselves that furry isn’t a fetish fandom. Yesterday if was Boozybadgers turn:

Also, one of his daughters is self identifying as a autistic and a furry and papa Boozy couldn’t be prouder:

He’s literally throwing his own daughter to the wolves.

Any bets on how long before she’s on Second Life or Furrymuck, getting all sweaty while she types “I bend over and grab my ankles for you”?

I feel you bro. I haven't applied for one yet because the two designs I liked she ended up not using. But this throws the whole "lottery" into question. It looks like unless you're super popular (5k followers+) or you meet her in person to bribe you're never getting a suit. A few of the people in the line group are going to other makers now.

I just wonder if he was trying to promote his daughter to encourage her or take some money from possible commissions. Also, you'd think he'd be concerned about what his tism child would see in the fandom and or the adults he follows that he'd try to protect her but... Furries like 'em young.

it's the same thing with kline or any other japanese fursuit makers. they hardly offer custom slots but unless you're in japan or japanese, they'll do it for you in a heartbeat.

like seely isn't japanese, but she's overly well known and she's living in japan currently and she has a custom mochiri suit of her character.

Notice how they both have 20,000+ followers on Twitter and both met Mochiri in Japan and have her gifts before their suits? The only exception I know is Kaorufox, but she's basically a baby lolcow in the making who threatened to kill herself on IG after she was called out for tracing.

In regards to the Japan fursuit drama... for once, it's nice to have furry drama that doesn't involve politics, zoofucking, SJWs, pedophiles, and alt-furry.

Half the reason I decided to post about it. It's a nice break from Kero and petty vendettas.
