All the usual furry shit, money owed, art not done/finished, and a whole lot more.

Thanks for not bringing your sig along, IceCat.

I'm hijacking this thread and turning into a 'minor laughs/drama thread'. Plenty of ridiculous furry shit happens all the time, but the vast majority of it doesn't really deserve its own thread. So use this here thread to post quick snippets of whatever stupid drama you come across.

On topic: An idiot calling himself GreySergal decided it would be an excellent idea to register on SA. He also thought it would be a super idea to put his FA page right there in his profile (and fucked it up while he was at it). He completed the trifecta by polluting what I can only assume was GBS with ridiculous E/N drama bullshit (see this thread for details).

Of course, it didn't take long (twenty minutes, to be exact) for someone to take a look at his profile and bring it up for all to see. And, hoorah, one less furfag on SA.

He had this to say on FA about the matter:

"True Metal," indeed. Good times.

He... didn't know what Something Awful was like before he registered there?

... Buzza... wha... HUH?!!?!

You know, there are some bits of ignorance that I can understand, if certainly not endorse. Not being able to name all the continents on an unlabeled map. Not knowing who your elected officials are. Stuff like that, it's information that can slip right past you and isn't always thrusting itself in your face.

But how the fuck can you be on the internet for more than five minutes, and be a furry besides, and not know what the fuck SA is about? And huff on your journal like no one else knows what they're like?

The Goons have gotten actual press coverage for shit they've pulled, the normals fucking know what they're like!

I'm torn as to what part of that whole thing is the funniest. That he says he lost $15, which means he immediately purchased himself a custom title/av. Or perhaps that he calls them 'elitist' when on the forum rules page the first sentence under 'A message to newbies' bluntly says "We...are very elitist and strict assholes." Also, on the second 'rules' page, in plain sight: "We reserve the right to ban anybody on the forums, especially furries, Scientologists, and Libertarians." And it's been a while since I registered an account there but I'm pretty sure there's a "furries will be banned" warning between 'choose a username' and 'type in your credit card'.

To this idiot's credit it looks like he at least chose a different username for the SA forums than for...oh, wait, never mind. A google search on that name turns up an account at 'customers suck dot com', and...an IRC log? Something on pastebin that looks pretty blatantly furry. Oh yeah and this thread shows up too, whee. Hi there, 'Greysergal'! You'll probably be banned if you register here, too.

Thing about Something Awful is that they don't ban furries outright. Only if you're way too murry purry and/or are an annoying shit heel about it. He seemed to have done both, however.

Spike TV, known for such meticulously accurate show ideas as "Who would win in a fight Al Capone or Jesse James?" get lambasted for a poor representation of furries reminiscent of CSI. One has to wonder just how goddamn many people hunt around for any incorrect portrayal of furries in media. In the show known for highly researched deaths, 1000 Ways To Die.

I love this reply.

How dare that guy try to represent to furry fandom. I wonder what is his Furaffinity account,so we can get him banned from Furaffinity for using the furry fandom for his own advantage.

I think it's better because while claiming to be the end all of knowledge on furries the commenters don't think for a second the weirdo in the bad rented Pooh suit may not actually be one. Classy to the end!

ProvincialTwit · « **Reply #9 on:** June 15, 2010, 08:15:14 am »

You mean how pretty much every single appearance of one or more 'furries' on television involves paid actors following a script written by someone who combed the internet and distilled their findings down to just the most outrageous/shocking/attention-grabbing aspects regardless of how representative of the group they are, just like every other show involving every other 'internet subculture'?

....Nah, couldn't be!

Dude makes a torrent of furry smut, asks for donations for it. Guess what happens when 'Neer finds out.

Furry chick draws comic where creepy, disgusting gay stalker is rewarded with sex by the object of his ~~affection~~ obsession. Eventually takes it down because it's old or some shit.

Furry loser posts asking for the comic. Proceeds to act like creepy, disgusting stalker towards furry chick.

Furry chick completely and totally fails to learn any lesson whatsoever from this:

Yes, I take them seriously because I want to one day make a comic out of it all, ya know? I try getting into their head, try understanding why they are the way they are. In some ways I try and make them believable, I guess you could say?

Enjoy the stupidity of the stalker, the stupidity of the stalkee, and occasional peeks of sanity such as this.

I'm thinking the only difference between that and FA-in-general is that the torrent is compiled better.

I'm not sure what real wrong the person is doing here? Other than them both being idiots..

FA Art thief: I cant even tolerate reading the thread. There's so much dorkyness; between the "cake is a lie" shit, monty python references, armchair legalese, furrymurrpurr scritchles, etc...

Imageboard Drama: I dont have the desire or the time to even go through that. Image macros aren't clever or wise.

Well, for one, he was asking for donations for a torrent of over 12,000 furry smut pics (presumably all done by other artists). It's one thing for FA to host art and ask for donations to keep the site running; it's another thing when some random jackoff takes that art and shares it for self-serving monetary gain.

This is why we don't ask for (monetary) donations on my site: we're already skirting the edge of legality as it is, and we don't need to put a bigger target on our back.

Not sure if this should get it's own thread or not, but good grief.

Dredging up this thread as I wanted to post this and didn't think it deserved its own.

Aspiring furry comic artists, just go ahead and give up. The closest thing to a 'furry' newspaper comic, "My Cage", is getting canned. Incidentally, the writer of the strip showed up in the SA Newspaper Comics thread a few weeks back, got rather butthurt at accusations of 'furryness', and decided to roll with the punches all the way out of the thread.

Granted, this probably has very little to do with using anthro characters, a bit more to do with the writing being honestly pretty lacking, and a lot to do with old people complaining loudly whenever the funnies page changes where's my Marmaduke I wanted to read Marmaduke I swear I will cancel my subscription me and the whole nursing home will if you don't bring back Marmaduke god damn you (etc).

Still, as noted, this is the probably closest thing to a 'furry' comic to make it big (gee I wonder what ever happened to dave simpson's 'comic' that he supposedly won some contest for), and it probably had better writing and art than 99.95% of all furry webcomics. So the lesson is: Never Try.

My guess? Despite his legion of fans rushing to his defense when someone posted up the "bestiality" strips of Raine Dog in the contest discussion threads, the content and style of that comic eventually found its way back to the syndicate, who decided they really didn't want the "sappy, family-friendly" newspaper comic they thought they'd been getting associated with a blatantly political, condescendingly atheist, interspecies-romancing dog character written by a wannabe-tranny with a Lisa Simpson obsession and a shaving fetish.

One ten-year-old googles the name of the writer of the comic he saw on the funny pages, sees that stuff, and it's allllll over.

So I'm guessing Raine Dog probably sunk Dick Chick Simpson's chances at mainstream success. Which makes me very happy indeed.

Oooooh boy. The gags stink and the VG Cats-esque cutesy pseudo-anime bobble-headed-critter artwork doesn't help. But at least they don't rely on LOL VIOLENCE or LOL WILD TAKES gags the way Scott Razzmatazz does! That counts for something...right?...right?...

As for DCS, well, would it be worth bumping the other, months-old thread?
