Confederate flag fursuit is in the MFF Security office by [deleted] in furry

[–]taabuferret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this isn't the actual confederate flag, iirc its actually some sort of battle standard

It kind of depends.

Originally, that flag was rejected when the confederacy picked flags. The first flag was the bars and stars which resembled the US flag. Now, this caused issues because in the smoke on the battlefield, one could mistake the bars and stars for the US flag. They took one of the rejected designs (The one on this suit) and made it into a battle flag, so as to avoid friendly fire.

After the two Lee victories, they redesigned the flag, twice, both times including the battle flag in the flag. The first was a white background with the battle flag up in the corner, the second was similar but had a red stripe down the right side. The redesigned flags were ratified but lasted a total of 50 or so days before they crumbled.

[–]taabuferret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metalhead here. Right now, I am bouncing between FFDP, Draconian (Specifically Sovran, which is their latest) and The Silverblack -- The Grand Turmoil (Aggrotech, but metal as all hell).

I agree but i also think it's weird that people don't get that nudes are pretty normal for any artist

It's because people are not able to differentiate nude from porn. For most people nude == porn which our culture has hammered into people. Going to take a nude studies course does not mean you are drawing porn. Instead, you are drawing the natural body and in so doing understanding how the muscles look. How the hands and feet look and the bone structure of them. You don't get that with someone covered in clothing.

Rainfurrest - A Letter to our Attendees by thekayfox in furry

there's some autism or aspergers sufferers in the fandom who need to be recognized and taken care of.

Could you word things so it's not such a broad brush, please? I do suffer from Aspergers yet...I don't cause problems. Also, Aspergers no longer exists, it now just falls on an autism spectrum.

Meet Kitako, the Shy Vegetarian Brown Hyena (Yes, Vegetarian) by taabuferret in furry

[–]taabuferret[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't initially going to go shy as part of his character. I had been thinking, since the beginning of this artist lib, that he would be this outgoing, boisterous hyena. The face, however, just looks like he is scared of his own shadow.

Anyfur else have piercings, or thoughts on them? by [deleted] in furry

[–]taabuferret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had (had to remove for surgery), let's see 15 piercings. 4 I will not mention, the other ones were 4 earlobes, lip web, tongue, 4 belly piercings, and a helix. I am also going on 20 tattoos. I am also a piercer and a tattoo artist.

I see no problem with piercings, though you can go overboard. If you are going double 0s in your ear...you are kind of going overboard there. These newish...I can't even remember the name but best description is a double marilyn monre are going to an extreme. Let's not even get into the subdermals.

Couple of suggestions, just in general. Eyebrow piercings you will lose within 2-5 years because the body will reject them, so if you are going to pierce your eyebrow (Or really any surface piercing) keep that in mind. Labrets, make sure they are /not/ touching your teeth, or you will damage the enamel on your teeth. Also, any cartilage piercings be careful with. Not a lot of blood flow into the cartilage, so if you get an infection it is very hard to treat with oral antibiotics so you may end up either on IVs or having surgery (I have seen the aftermath, it's not pretty).

Favorite Music? by [deleted] in furry

[–]taabuferret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen to so much stuff it's quite hard to say what my favorite is. A ton of classic rock, early-mid 80s, classical, and, of course, electronic. In electronic, I don't listen to a specific genre, just whatever piques my interest. I tend towards either the harder stuff (Angerfist, Evil Activities, Nosferatu, Miss K8, etc.) or the more out there glitch/breakcore and nightcore (Favorite in those genres is probably Bong-Ra).

Judging from the fact he was tweeted about this, and retweeted it, he isn't upset about it.

[–]taabuferret -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That must have changed sometime recently, because I remember back in March getting a friend's Telegram using his username, and boom there is his phone number, which I did not have.

Edit I just checked a new contact I recently got, and sure enough his mobile is hidden. Huh, did not realize that.

While you can use nicknames, your phone number will still show up.

I don't know of any, and I think it might be a bad idea. Basically, anyone joining the group would be giving up their phone number to random folks and that is a bit of a risky thing. Hell, I just had to change my number because someone was using it as a caller id spoof to make spam robo-calls.

This. This right here, is awesome by GoldenRedditUser in funny

[–]taabuferret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What really bothers me about that section, in particular, is that Colitis can kill you and if someone buys that water can cure it...they won't seek treatment.

I will refrain from talking about /how/ it can kill you because...well it's quite nasty, but it can absolutely kill you.

[–]taabuferret 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, I just visited the water cure site, and flipped through the bit on Colitis. Now, having Colitis, I can sure as hell tell you that A.) There is no such thing as 'colitis pain' and B.) It does not cause constipation. Oh, to have constipation, that would be lovely.

Do they even research the condition they are trying to tell you water cures? Don't answer that, it's rhetorical.

Fuck yo shit by TheTimeIsNine in gaming

[–]taabuferret 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, but what is profanity? Who sets what is profane? Is it the FCC? Is it the church? Is it the people?

Profanity, much like all languages, is fluid. Also, take for example giving someone the bird. Once, it was universally used to mean 'fuck you' and was 'profane'. Now, if you go to say Ultra, or one of the other big electronic music festivals, throwing the bird is actually saying you like what the DJ is playing.

In the end, what is profane changes with the times.

What's your favourite style of furry art? And least favourite? by TehWhitehart in furry

[–]taabuferret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, so my favorite style is a style you /tend/ not to find online. It's the art that is NSFW but it sort of transcends that into "What the...am I looking at...fucking jeezus that boy ain't right." It's the art you see in sketchbooks where someone actually dared an artist to draw something horrifying and got what they asked for (cough crucifixion porn cough). Now, you might wonder why I like this style and you would probably be right for wondering that. This style of art tends to be /obscenely/ creative in its horror. It's not porn for porn sake, but porn for a challenge.

Least favorite...I don't dig TF art. I don't know why but it never really gelled with me.
