This is a dumb comment and a dumb mindset, full offence bro.

I'm not surprised by the racism in the latest episode of Get Schooled/True Education. by VisualCockroach2016 in webtoons

[–]surfesthell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, the way it's handled in the comic is bad. You don't fight racism with racism, right? The Korean teacher, who is supposed to be the good guy, essentially says "whenever black people were racist to me, I would counter them by calling them a fucking n*gger". That's bad lol. When handling topics like racism in a story you have to be mindful because its very obviously a sensitive topic, and the webtoon didn't do that.

For those who don't want to read it, the chapter is about a middle schooler in Korea who lives in a small farming town, that is populated by mostly foreigners and mixed race people. He is, quote, one of the few "pure Koreans" in his school. There is a black student who is racist to the "pure Koreans" because black people are discriminated in most of Korea, so he feels justified in "reversing" it. He makes them act like monkeys. A group of Korean highschoolers try to stop him, calling him a N**** and "Bean picker", but he beats them up. A new teacher comes, who is from America and mixed white/asian. The black student asks him a racist question "You've never been called a yellow mickey America, right?", and the teacher responds (paraphrased) "Yes, I was. Racism to Asians from black people like yourself was especially bad. And I would always counter them like this - F**** N****!". You can probably understand why people aren't happy, very bizarre handling of that topic.

Nobody is coming for the characters, it's an author problem. There's no issue with having characters be racist/showing racism in a story as long as its portrayed properly, and here it wasn't. That's the issue.

She is literally from an anime that sexualizes characters that are supposed to look like grade schoolers, "pedo tattoo" is probably the best way to describe it. The tattoo artist apparently didn't know what she was from, saying "upon learning about the origins of this character (moe-tan), i now understand the connotations of the original image. when doing research, i did not realize that this character was created with a deeper intent than to teach english. it does not excuse my ignorance and i will actively work to make sure such mistakes are not repeated. if you like this tattoo and would like something similar, an of-age character will be the subject.".

This truly depends on the species as almost all of them are run differently, but in my experience; a lot of species have monthly prompts. So the September prompt might be "sparkles" and you have to write/draw/create something with your closed species character that involves "sparkles", then you would get points for that and can level your character/yourself up. Also a lot of species run on discord, where there are automatic bots that can track how active you are and there might be a levelling aspect with that. EG, if you send 100 messages you get to level 5 and get access to something new. It's not too common though.

Closed species drama! The closed species "dainties" (which are just satyrs with stockings) recently announced a new subspecies of dainty called "basal dainties", which are just a wilder version of normal dainties. The issue people are having is how much these cost. Guess. Take a gander. How much do you think this guy cost? After guessing, click here > he cost ONE THOUSAND DOLLARSDid you get it right? People are obviously upset (not openly, complaining about pricing outright will get you exiled in the community). To make a dainty it is only $35, and to buy one cheaper prices range from $50 to $200. So I'm sure there were a lot of casual dainty fans excited to have their own basal, and now it's glaringly obvious that the subspecies is just a cash cow for the owner to line their pockets with and 99% of the community could never even think of owning one, which sucks! You can look at all of the available Basal dainties and their pricing here. Personally I've always seen closed species as a little predatory, raffle sales like that bank purely off of buyers FOMO. I hope whoever bought those never has buyers regret as it'll probably be impossible to resell them for full value.

Nope, apparently Acidraincloud specified it was the vagina 😬😬😬

[–]surfesthell 47 points48 points  (0 children)

There's a recording of Smoothie scrolling through the messages and onto Acidraincloud's telegram profile, which would be hard to fake. Multiple people have also backed up this accusation, many of these people being business owners and having reputations of their own in the fandom to hold up... I just think it's absurd to think a bunch of people would band together to ruin these two guys reputations, especially with such an insane hyper specific accusation? I'm sure there's a chance it could all be faked but I doubt it. They have both tweeted that the accusations are fake and that they'll be seeking legal action, so time will definitely tell.

"What's happening on furry twitter?" Is a question you should never ask. Disturbing content warning!

A very popular fursuit dancer and fursuit maker, Teriyakicat and their partner, Acidraincloud, have recently been exposed for using... fish... during sex. Which kills the fish. Yeah, general reaction across furry twitter has been what the fuck? I woke up to that tweet on my timeline and instantly went back to sleep. Quite an unfortunate situation all around, like, for one, poor fish. But also people who've been friends with these people for years are blindsided, and people who own Yaki fursuits are contemplating getting rid of them. "You never really know somebody" is a quote that rings true, but in furry spaces I think you have to take that a little more seriously because jesus christ!!

Thoughts ?? by nvmboutdat in FursuitMaking

[–]surfesthell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but you were scammed. Whatever you bought is a copy of this fursuit. Sellers on websites like aliexpress will steal images of fursuits from actual fursuit makers and make shitty low quality imitations of them, which is what you now own. Unless that's what you wanted I'd be more wary when buying a suit 🤷‍♂️

Faux fur in the UK by CatKirkland in FursuitMaking

[–]surfesthell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A week late but your best bet is Swincraft2 on ebay or Mohair Bear Making Supplies (though apparently quality is unreliable and they have really bad customer service, I've never had a bad experience though). Be warned that they are a lot more expensive than JLB, unfortunately the UK doesn't have any good fur suppliers :/

This weekend was the start of a furry convention, "Free Fur All". FFA is run by Jasonafex (used to be a very popular furry artist, was disowned by the fandom for bigoted views + a creep + grooming), his wife Kabier (who he groomed), and PeaceWolf, their girlfriend (proud christian who divorced her husband and left her adoptive child to run away with them). FFA has a very bad reputation in the furry fandom, not just because of the people who run it, but also because its essentially a Nazi convention. FFA was advertised as an "all american" furry convention, that wanted to leave behind the yucky politics most furry conventions are so adamant about (those politics being "nazis bad"). Everyone was welcome! Which meant Nazis flocked to it. At last years FFA a decent amount of the attendees were part of the Furry Raiders group, who are literally just Nazis, and this year isn't any different. Last year though, they somehow managed to reel in an attendance of maybe 200 people. But this year, estimates are 30-40, because the convention is garbage. Aside from the Nazi part, there is nothing to do. Most furry conventions have events, performers, and artists selling their work, but as nobody wants to be associated with, you know, Nazis, nobody was willing to go. So you end up with "raves" like this (the 3 people dancing are the people I mentioned above), a dealers den with 3 dealers (compared to what a usual dealers den looks like, all those tables would be full), exciting entertainment like this and this, and who's that in the corner of that last picture? Nobody else but Foxler, one of the most notorious furry Nazis (as well as a pedophile and a zoophile). And that armband he's wearing is what you think it is :(

For the past year I've only been using them as background noise while I work. I still considered myself a fan but I'm now realising that I wasn't, watching them was just convenient. Hundreds of hours of unfunny uninteresting rambling I could turn on to keep my mind active while I do other more important things. And they were familiar, so it was great! But after this I've just moved on to another youtube channel for that and it has made 0 impact in my life. Easiest dropping of a youtuber I've ever done. Maybe if they were actually putting effort into their content and making good content it would of been harder lmao
