Sam Fennah / FailSafe42 - Atheist furry who dropped out of college; sperged to Bionicle fans about God not existing #SAVEBOB

[Meowthkip]

I unironically love this one.

 

[Big Meaty Claws]

Apparently the decapitation and bondage is also linked with "humiliation" in his lore. So I guess he has some sort of public humiliation fetish as well? It's literally so sexual sounding I don't understand how his viewers aren't seeing it. (probably because they are all 13 year olds which is also creepy if you think about what kind of stuff he shows them.) He probably has a fat fetish also considering how much detail he puts into the stomach area and their hips. And so..so many jiggle physics in his newer animations (the memory video and the pumpkin carving.)...it's so gross looking.

So apparently in the Lore of this world, they have strict breeding conditions and all that, so that only the strongest of the species can breed and spread there genes (sounds very nazi like for a British man). The Decapitation and Humiliation is funneled into this process. Basically for them to breed, they need to do a great intellectual debate or whatever, until a agreement is made, then they need to fight almost to death, where the winner cuts off the head of the loser of the fight (Still somehow alive, so hey they ain't dead!) and contorts the loser into a humiliation pose, where basically the winner coats the loser in there "Genetic Material" to induce Pregnancy or whatever.

So basically, for Fennah's creatures to mate, they need to decapitate one another, and give the body a jizz bath.

How Creative and not insane at all.

Edit: Found a link from his official Lore detailing the whole Process, check it out if you wanna see some insane level shit: https://www.satellitelore.com/romanceandreproduction

These tweets really illuminate the extent and fragility of Fennah's ego for me, but also why at his current trajectory he will literally never be hired by Disney or for any VFX/animation job that requires him to work with or be answerable to another human being. Animation school sperging under the cut

Spoiler

One of the first things you learn about 3D animation in college is that it's a long, long pipeline of highly skilled processes. In a major production you have one specialised process assigned to you that you do over and over for every shot, such as lighting or animation cleanup. You have to follow the brief and take on feedback from your superiors before your work is approved for the next part of the pipeline, and if you can't do that there are plenty of others baying for your job who can, for half of your current salary.
Teachers in animation schools know this, and if they're at all decent they push that message to their students hard. They're incredibly harsh and I've seen both male and female undergrads cry when called out for presenting half-assed work when they're capable of far better. It's a necessary evil, because if their feefees were coddled at that stage they'd produce substandard work all through their careers and fuck up the pipeline for everybody else, costing their employers thousands. I really can't imagine Fennah's ego withstanding more than a couple end-of-semester "show everyone your work and let half the faculty staff roast your work in front of your peers" presentations.

Another note: Fennah reminds me of a first year animation student, the kind who enters the course with an entire series concept with 20 characters that they plan to singlehandedly produce and publish at the age of 18. There's usually at least one in every class. The difference is that once they learn about the sheer number of high skill processes involved in creating a competent animation, most swallow their pride and put their goals aside to perfect whatever aspect of the craft appeals to them. Fennah obviously didn't swallow that pride, resenting the traditional pipeline structure as cookie-cutter, and decided to forge ahead with his concept anyway. To produce things in a timely manner as a one-man show he skimps on the parts of the pipeline that bore him, which is why you have uncomfortably realistic fur/fabric/physics with amateurish writing, eyeburner character designs and no recognition of the 12 principles of animation whatsoever.

The sad thing is that there is an argument to be made for teaching yourself online instead of shelling out thousands for school, but absolutely not for someone like Fennah. There's a tutorial for everything on YouTube, and most industry standard software have reasonably priced indie and student licences. The really unique thing that animation school gives you is genuine, constant feedback from people who know their stuff and are being paid to guide you. You can find quality feedback online if you know where to look, but it's way too easy to fall back to the same groups of asspatters and block out genuine criticism as "you just don't get my style". It takes a very self disciplined, steely kind of personality to actively seek out people who will willingly tell you "this looks amateurish and here's why", and Fennah ain't it.

I feel like Fennah's hand would start smoking if he ever touched a copy of The Animator's Survival Kit.

I think that its obvious that he goes by what his Pride says, and ignores any issues. No its other people that are wrong, not him, obviously.

This is also obvious on how he boasts about being a Drop out, like he is taking a shot at the big "man" or whatever, when its obvious that his animations are lacking the finer tuning of what you see in modern hired Animation and CGI.

Like anything, what goes up (that being his pride) is only gonna hit just as hard when it falls from the sky. The question is, when, if ever is it gonna hit.

 

[Vampirella]

Btw, did you guys notice that the female characters have like pubic hair on their groins for whatever reason?

They all do. I found a picture of Ludwig that I posted a few pages back that also has that.

Has he ever uploaded a simple walk cycle?

Really curious as to what that would look like. Very floppy, I'd imagine.

Edit: Can someone explain to me why there's so many comments on his videos talking about Disney missing an opportunity? Did he apply to be an animator with them or what?

That's definitely how my past relationships have landed after I tossed them through dry wall! Absolutely natural.

Something like that may work when he ""goes big"" and makes Furries of the Caribbean!

I doubt jaggy, poorly designed OCs can take down an entire multi-milionarie corp. I’m honestly surprised that he even managed to get himself into a university with how bad his story writing is. He can’t even produce his own web series correctly. Look how fucked his timescales are:

EP 23 - 12:38

Basically, Sam gave up on the web series and started filling the playlist with random shit.

His episode times are mostly below 10 minutes and sometimes over 10 minutes. His “shorts” are the same lengths like his episodes. If the watcher finishes watching a 7:04 ep, they would wait a month for something similar to that time amount, not a 21 sec clip of a DA quality dragon rage screaming like an autistic. That’s why most Cartoon Network shows (like SU and Adventure Time) would always have an estimate of 11 minutes paired with another to make it 22 minutes long to satisfy the watchers. What gets me is that he managed to finish ep 20 within two months after the last. So if it takes him that fast to do a 24:20 episode, why doesn’t he do that with the rest of the episodes? To me, that screams lazy and poor production skills.

It doesn't help that his Fanbase basically parades and memes about anything remotely new added to the channel, even the videos barely reaching 2 mins, filling it with praise and how hes gonna topple down the animation industry and shit.

And the sad part is that no one is allowed to Criticizing it or they get shunned for being a hater. Basically cementing the idea that he could literally upload a 30 sec clip of Lucy shitting, and still have people praising it.

Good Fanbase

Edit: Got some Youtube comments on his latest animation video basically confirming this even today

Spoiler

Fennah REALLY liked this one for some reason

One of the first things I noticed about him wasn't even about him, but about his sycophantic fanbase. In the comments sections of some of the reviews of Doug Walker's review of The Wall, Fennah fans made sure to show their incredulity towards Fennah's work getting caught up in the negative discourse, as well as shoot down any criticisms of his skill and artistic vision:

[SkepticAgentMan]

I don't even know what to make of a take like this.

He is really similar to Russel Greer when you boil things down. Both have delusions of grandeur that focus on taking down massively international brands at the peak of their industries. For Greer this is pop music/Taylor Swift/Ariana Grande. For Fennah this is Disney/Traditional animation companies/Big youtubers. They see themselves as equals who are entitled to immediately compete at the top level of music, in Greer's case, and animation, in Fennah's case. When someone criticizes them it simply CANNOT BE TRUE in their minds because they KNOW they are at the peaks of their respective fields. How can someone at the very peak of performance make a mistake?

Fennah is caught up in a delusional LARP right now. He is legitimately incapable of seeing his true position in the world and extremely frustrated at not instantly being able to be Mr. Hot Shit Animator to the Youtube stars. His snipes at Disney are just the public manifestations of his daily internal LARP. Pathetic self mantras to re-fill the Narc supply he needs to avoid total Narc meltdown.

All this being said... Good find OP. I always love a good delusional narcissist cow!
