Furry Fandom and Drama General

Too lazy to wait till I get off work. Here's some phone caps of what I read this morning.


"Won't somebody think of the artists that didn't branch out, think of the poor artists making an h o n e s t living."

That's honestly a nice thing to see in the morning. Furries crying about not being able to get their fix of degeneracy.
 
"Won't somebody think of the artists that didn't branch out, think of the poor artists making an h o n e s t living."
What absolute mongoloid sees a site like Furaffinity and thinks "yes, this is where I want to operate my business" ? The entire thing is a trashfire. The site is hideous. They won't ban spammers. They refuse to create blacklists where people could filter out bizarre and disgusting fetish art. They can't even figure out how a block feature is supposed to work. All the block button does is make it such that the blocked person can't send notes or comment on submissions made by the blocking account.

Furaffinity is worse than a relic, it's a sandy clump of hair someone dug up in their back yard and swore it came from an ancient Cherokeean princess. Anyone who thinks it is a proper market to peddle their degenerate art is completely and unrepentantly exceptional.

And on top of that, operating their business on FA EXCLUSIVELY and no other degenerate website at all. IIRC most of these websites allow you to register and post your filth free of charge so why not at least spread out so people who pay you money better used on something worthwhile, can find you and conduct business.

"Why don't the artists just go somewhere else" - Some Furfag with a tidbit of sense.
"They would just do it to that site too, no point" - Some Furfag that's infinitely stupider.

On the topic of everything else you mentioned: fully agree. Honestly I would just scrap the site as it is and call it a day. But since no one has that sense of decency, at least replace it with something more competent. But that's too much to ask from Dragoneer.

There's been so many other sites in the last few years popping up trying to offer themselves as an alternative to FA. Furrynetwork, Weasyl, Nabyn, Sofurry/Yiffstar... Some of them honestly didn't look too bad but they're just not as active.

I don't know what it is but they never seem to do so well. Most folk seem to just post once in a while, log off, then go back to FA or whatever they're used to, which kills the whole idea of making a new, active community. The only one that seems to actually be active and kicking is Inkbunny but that's purely because their main demographic can't post such content to FA since cub got banned, so they were essentially forced to make their own little circle.

FA is just stupidly basic. There's really nothing it can offer that another art site can't - It's just like a brand name in the fandom and people just stick to it since they know it, even though the quality is just terrible.
 
The amount of sucking up to Xavier is sickening to be honest

He didn't deserve the shit he got but people running to his defense SO AGGRESSIVELY WITH ALL CAPS just screams "throw more of your money at me please"

Of course freeloading furries are gonna be sucking up to a dude who showers them with FREE gifts and money. "FREE fursuit giveaways" what a great way to boost his followers to 5,500+, Xavier dude is a fool to himself if he thinks he can buy friends with gifts and money, they're using him and only there for the free ride.

To be fair; at least with the guy who made the video of him ddosing FA, he did it to other sites as well. I heard it mainly involved sites that uses Cloudflare, but that's just a rumor. In anycase, the guy privated all of his videos except his most recent one.

I get the feeling she might not know anything about Root/Astolpho's business of manufacturing and selling dog penis accessories on baby bottles and drawing cub porn.

Well once I got my head on right, I realized that Rootdown's Twitter is @Rootsworks, it's still online, and Thornwolf follows it. So:

Yep. She knows.

At the risk of powerlevelling, I can at least say that during the time I was around her I found she has an amazing ability to pretend she doesn't see things, if said unpleasant things are about other artists. She's really obsessed with being part of a furry artist clique and thinks that you can't get commissions without being in the clique; come to think of it her pal Xianjaguar had the same hang up and expressed it (repeatedly) as "artists can't be artists unless they hang with other artists" - something that to me made her sound very insecure and like a 10 year old.

And also: Rootdown/Astolpho is a communist because, of course a furry is a communist:

I mean, I don't know who in their right minds would find that more acceptable than Reagan's situation.

She's a furry, since when is a furry in her right mind?

It's not weird at all. That's because the ones who do have highly respected jobs and have worked hard aren't the same people you find whoring out on Twitter discourse. You'll find that these furries are much less likely to be open about their career or post photos of themselves out of suit too. Most of the time you don't know who is successful outside of the fandom because they're smart enough to keep their hobbies separate from their professional careers. Unlike Kage.

Though it is hilarious that furries are throwing a tantrum over the fact that yes, a horse cock is still bestiality when it's shoved in a human.

It is kind of nice to see Patreon's finally taking a position and trying to clean up the furry sewer they have running through their service.

So far as rich furries - it also makes sense that they're all turning against the rich furs since all the furries seem to be turning to socialism and communism, so the well to do members of the fandom are no longer heroes.

As they go extreme left, furries aren't going to value traditional success and I guess this really is the inevitable evolution of their continual victimhood; they need to be happy and satisifed with being at the bottom of the economic and social ladder, and hate anyone in their fandom who isn't.

Though I do have to wonder - the furries screaming for communisim, gulags, and re-education camps, and redistribution of wealth - do they even stop to think what that would do to Kage, or Fek, or any of their other well to do idols? Those guys would be first up against the wall for being upper middle class bourgeoisie.

Kage's wine cellar! Won't someone think of Kage's wine cellar?

Any furry who bothered paying attention could see a similar pattern to YouTube in the leadup to the series of adpocalypses. Just like how YouTube was tightening the screws on partners by removing automatic monetization and slowly slashing payouts or nerfing the network partner program, Patreon has been doing similar moves to creators. Our farms favorite journalist Ana Valens (who loves writing articles about porn) was on the case. In 2019 Patreon went after hypnosis porn and creators were panicked.. A few weeks later Ana wrote an article about how Patreon was cracking down on more content, and this quote sums up the situation:
“I doubt this will be the last set of interests they will consider unworthy of being hosted on their site,” one adult content author, Sam, told me for this week’s report. “It appears they are boiling the frog, as it were, getting rid of adult content by degrees. It would certainly prevent the kind of backlash that Tumblr received, and avoids the disastrous ‘female-presenting nipple’ fiasco.”


For years, Patreon came off as a champion for its smut peddlers. In 2016, the site’s team blew away the adult content community by proudly announcing that PayPal would begin accepting patron payments for NSFW creators. Two years later, PayPal and its ilk won out; Vice revealed Patreon was “ramping up” its content reviews “due to requirements from our payment partners.”

Patreon suffered from the same issues as YouTube did. External pressure from other companies (in this case payment processors) forced them into buckling, and these other companies have been dictating as well what porn is allowed. Furries who had been in the know should have been planning to go back to YCH auctions, commissions, and burger flipping. Even alternatives might suffer the same fate if they got big, because they're going to be dealing with the same payment processors like Stripe or PayPal.
 
Those who sell merchandise tend to make more than tip-jar reliant artists. Your average furry is clueless when it comes to creating high quality merch, so they turn to milking the low hanging fruitcow. Patreon is drying up their income, but it's not a giant loss to content creators outside of mindless vultures.

Yeah, this whole situation along with the Reagan callout are clear examples of the hive mind these furries have. “NAZIS/FASCISTS BAD (and we don’t give a fuck if they actually aren’t Nazis nor do we give a chance for them to repent) but, oh, sexual fantasies involving abuse of animals and children is a-okay!” You just know that Root’s disgusting creation is inevitably going to be used by an actual pedo on a child just like how Bad Dragon toys are being used on animals.

It is horrendous knowing how Root’s wife is close to and working children while being involved in all this. By the way, speaking of his wife (twitter handle jell0), Thorn apparently considers her her best friend. They even run a podcast together called “Sisters of the Heart.

Btw, here’s our cub-loving diaperfur.

Can anyone explain/point to be the drama involving the special printed diapers that happened recently?

I can happily say that I am out of the loop on the “specialty printed diaper” game.
But I’ll wait anxiously to find out what possible drama furries can cook up over a medical undergarment designed to hold literal shit.

Every time this topic comes up, I get the same answer.
"No one uses X, so I don't use X."
It's an obvious catch 22 with an equally obvious fix, but unlike YouTube, furries aren't a monolith so they can't rely on one or two big name artists to make the jump.

You know, it makes me wonder how these people get so much weird shit despite being more poor than a church mouse. I'm sure welfare is one of them, but I feel like there's more.

If furries knew how to run a business they wouldn't be known for taking months/years to finish art/fursuits or begging for rent this month.

There's multiple ways to get something for nothing, but the big ones I see are welfare, ebegging, and maxing out credit cards. Chris Chan famously has plenty of judgements against him because he keeps maxing out cards and DSP is in bankruptcy for doing the same exact thing. The furry excuse for this comes down to how stressful life is in a capitalistic hellscape and that buying video games and art is the best way to escape it. After all, in their eyes you shouldn't need to be rich to have fun.

His wife is also Rstarveling, if his comments at his Pebblemakes Twitter are true. It matches up with her FA account name, and the Rstarveling Twitter is friends locked.

Part of me wants to think that this entire diaperfur thing is just him putting on an act, so he can make huge piles of money drawing babyfur porn. I imagine a “one of us“ approach probably helps get commissioners from that particular part of the degenerate furry fandom, and from what little I know about him, he seems to have a thing where he thinks that he’s some sort of four dimensional chess master who’s smarter than everybody else and who can outwit the world.

The title of his Pebble Twitter, “ Pebble makes bank“ almost seems to be evidence of him tweaking everyones nose about that.

On the other hand, self loathing Furrys are definitely a thing; i certainly saw how Krishva copped to being one and in addition to going back into the fandom, revealed to the world that she’s married to a male to female Troon. I recall a furry telling me that Rootdowns wonderful and welcome transformation into Astolpho and returning to the fold like the prodigal son was due mostly in part to him marrying Jell0 and her “helping him get things worked out.“ It was about that time too that I found art of them revealing that Astolphos in/character mommy is Jell0’s character so... I guess all he really needed to do was find the right woman to indulge his adult baby fetish to get him all fixed up and his head screwed on straight. Or something.

I’ve also heard from a semi-reliable source that as Astolpho, he used to show up on Furrymucks public sex/nude beach room, in his little kid description wearing diapers. Make of that what you will.

I have to hand it to him, it’s amazing how he has his very own personal rabbit hole for people to fall down. There’s so many twists and turns in his story that all we need is a crime for this to turn into an absolutely awesome episode of Bones... if it was still being made.

TLDR — furries are fucked up and weird and have an infinite capability to continue to reinvent themselves as even more fucked up and weirder people. Also, water is wet, sky is blue, and current year is a very strange place to live in.
