Furry Fandom and Drama General

I wonder how many cons have to cancel, or reschedule, before we start to hear about a rash of furry artists who can't make rent or make ends meet from the income loss.

So sorry, furries! Looks like mean ol' real life has come along to take your fun away.
Which convention is next?

I will absolutely laugh my dick off if anthrocon gets cancelled.
AC have no plans to cancel at the moment, hand sanitizer will be provided, hugging discouraged and furs from infected areas may be banned from attending.

uh... wouldn't that mean most furries would be banned by the time of the con...? I mean COVID cases are only increasing in numbers & area. This seems like a really bad idea.
 
If anyone has any PROOF that Kosperry is a real individual photographed off screen, show it now and I'll drop this whole thing.

I looked over her Insta, and her face in a fursuit is always blotted out with one option or another (black circle, cartoon head). I looked throughout her DA, didn't find it there.


Yeah he's an incredibly good artist. I love that Don Bluth style.
Of course! It is an impossibility for a 21 year old to have talent that good.

It does no better to convince me that she is her own talent when her main character is just an uncreative Bonkers rip-off seemingly intended.

another EDIT: LOL, oh look, other agree with me here:

Happy birthday, as some others said before, you accomplished a lot for your age.


KichisCraftsProfessional Digital Artist
Happy bday Kosperry, I had no idea you were so young and making art that looks like it fell out of a Don Bluth film~


OwlmaricusStudent General Artist
happy birthday. im amazed youre that young. from your work i had assumed you were older for the incredible quality of it

it's also like the grasp with which you execute some things that are somewhat advanced for animation/coloring

22? I feel like I've been lying to myself and am now just finding out that you're not a 40-ish guy with a career in animation.

You mean you're YOUNGER than me???

I somehow thought you were older!

It wouldn't surprise me if it was all a ruse from day one. Kosperry's work alone does make me think of someone who probably is far older than they claim to be. Perhaps they were an animator or had connection in the industry. It wouldn't surprise me if it was someone who worked with Bluth either. The work is very spot-on in that regard.

I’d disagree a 21 year old couldn’t be that good. There have been people even younger making pretty amazing stuff on Deviantart on the regular. Prodigies happen.
I didn't dig hard or deep at all but with my internet knowledge she seems to be one of those "I love 90s cartoons/TV shows" kids who decided to copy techniques from older animators instead of solely obsess over these shows. The biggest red flag I saw was her account creation date being older than her art, but I wouldn't be shocked if she nuked her old art for sucking (and some artists do this).

As for Seinfeld and her not being a minor from that, I'll just say that Seinfeld itself (especially the theme song) has gained popularity with younger internet posters. There were plenty of Seinfeld theme mashups, video edits with the Seinfeld theme, and some of the most iconic episodes getting referenced similar to classic Simpsons memes. I wouldn't rule out watching the same reruns her parents did to get that taste either.

From what I can see there isn't any hard evidence in the thread as much as there is speculation based on which styles furries obsess over and her style lining up with older boomer furries instead, but there are plenty of "born in the wrong generation" kids out there.

I'm not sure I really care one way or the other about who Kos is. Unless they're ebaiting or doing some heinous shit, who cares? That's the better question to be asking here. Like why do we need to care who this is? This isn't like one of those streamers on Twitch using 3D anime waifus as their identity only for the rig to fall off showing it's some gross dude in his 30's ebaiting a bunch of horny ass teenagers. Just looks like a standard art account unless I missed something.

Kage is delusional if he thinks they're going to be able to go on with the show. Same thing happened with Emerald City Comic Con: they were defiant at first and stating they were going to go on and increase sanitization/cleaning methods, and they only capitulated (with a reschedule for later in the summer) after the state of Washington strong armed them into doing so. I suspect Philly state government will likely do the same and force Anthrocon to either reschedule for later in the year or cancel full-stop. Especially since it's one of the big money bringers and attracts a large crowd of people (with extremely questionable hygiene).

From a business standpoint, I understand the reluctance, because there's contracts and whatnot that go into cons. But it's foolish and -honestly- selfish of Kage to think he'll be able to have the show go on as planned. If AC were a con set to start in the fall months (August to December), that'd be one thing. But he's playing with fire at this point.
 
I know this guy is kind of old news, but if anyone happens to be interested, Immelmann recently joined this Discord server: https://discord.gg/wKXMPnx under the name "Rebecca Raptor". You just need a Discord account to access. Toodles.
First instinct is to call this fake and gay without any sort of supporting evidence provided, but whatever. Immelmann, the trainwreck comic "artist" whose fetish is fetishes.
 
Well, it is true. He doesn't go by Immelmann there, but it's him. I honestly don't care what you believe, but it's there if anyone wants to check it out.

I haven't seen much other than him saying it and everyone believing him. I'm just a user who came across the guy. I just thought that someone might like to know.

Well, is Immelmann doing anything lolworthy in the Discord? You've got half of a "who" here, maybe, but not too much of a "why" beyond what we already knew about him.

Well, it's a weird fetish RP community, but I wouldn't say he's doing anything especial. There's no particular "why" , I guess, unless that particular name piques your interest.

All right, I'll come back if I come across anything substantial.

As for skeletons, other than that I hang out with a bunch of furries, there's not much. Ciao.

Okay. What evidence is there that this is actually THAT Immelmann? Come the fuck on, we're not going to do your job for you.

Battle.net is verified here as Immelman#11529, and that Discord profile view has it with the checkmark meaning it's verified.

In addition, his current FA page lists "RebeccaRaptorArt" as her telegram account.


Her archived InkBunny page is also pretty clear that she goes by "Rebecca Raptor", now.

I'm gonna have to call your first instinct low-effort. I verified it with a single google-query for that b.net tag. That said, @TheDuncanKramer was about ten times lower on the effort. Fuck me, my guy. It was ONE google query.
