People paid money for it!

Like it or dislike it, I don't think I've ever heard anyone describe Zootopia's visuals as "retina-melting", so that's a point in its favor over Fursona 4: Zero Logic Dilemma.

Seriously, Lackadaisy. It's not furry at all (it just uses cats, the anthropomorphic choice was made for purposes of expression, not sexualisation), and it's hands down one of the top 10 webcomics I've ever read. Probably top 5, and of course I have read a lot. This is the most recent page, but it's not spoilery on anything important remotely important, as its basically early in a new side arc. On top of the gorgeous art, well-done plot, and a frankly extreme level of period research, the author can also do comedy very well (especially in reader questions in the extras section):  Had to cut these up and downsize some of them by 5%:    -   This isn't a buddy assassin plot though. The severely OCD autistic assassin (Mordecai) is not one of the main characters, and has never had breakfast with the marginally main character above (Rocky). It is very much an ensemble play. --- Zootopia is decent. I felt the plot was too simple, but that's pretty standard for cartoons. I'd argue it's not really 'furry' and is also just 'anthropomorphic', since it's not fetishistic. RA Rx fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Apr 7, 2017 |

the Lackadaisy artist was hired to do art for Ironclaw (basically Redwall mixed with Renaissance politics) but wasted it by directing her to do what's basically Furry Slayers fanart.

The mice look a bit samey but the authors do a good job of giving them different styles, colors, cloaks, and other things to help keep whose who. I adore the sense of scale they use as well as how they incorporate nature as technology into their world.

Yeah, to be fair, I only have the first two volumes and the RPG. The RPG looks cool as hell and I need to convince my friends to give it a go. I've been meaning to swing back back into the series and check the rest out. I just adore the art to be honest.

(ahahaha "it's just anthropomorphic, I swear!", don't kid yourself) Looks good, especially the top image. It is definitely possible for genres to co-share idea space while going in opposite directions and being functionally distinct. And while there's no commonly agreed upon definition for furry, it is my strong opinion that the burning hate that deservedly exists for it is because of the subculture's fetishistic nature. There's a reason why almost no one considers Disney to be in the furry genre, and that is because it never contains PG material. As for Lackadaisy, I believe the artwork and attention to period detail speaks for itself. The artist's ability to make sepia tones look natural alone is compelling.

RA Rx posted:Looks good, especially the top image. My brother had some Blacksad comics from when he was younger, and I'll agree that they're pretty good. They recently cropped up for sale on Comixology, if you're interested. As for why there is so much contempt for furries, I partially disagree that it's due to the sexual nature of the culture, outside of the more reviled elements of pedophilia and borderline bestiality that contaminate it in parts. I think it's mostly the trend of extremely self-righteous pretension that many furries have about their kink, and the atmosphere of outraged prejudice that they have propagated, especially when the culture was really coming into the spotlight 10ish years ago. The internet in particular, and I think millennial culture as a whole in the modern times, is increasingly jaded and at least tolerant, if not always approving, of most harmless fetishes out there, and for the most part I suspect that's what comprises the vast majority of it - extremely weird, but harmless and consensual. To equate mocking and contempt of furries to, to point out a favorite of theirs, homophobia or anti-transgenderism, is not only deluded but deeply disrespectful to those groups that have seen very real, very harmful prejudice and attacks made against them for centuries of our history. I think it's this aspect of it that prompts the most sneering and lack of respect towards furries - if they just laughed off or ignored the jibes made against them, like I'm sure many practitioners of consensual S&M and other kinks do, most wouldn't care. It's the RISE UP MY BRETHEREN WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR CHAINS attitude many of them seem to have that personally holds my scorn. Get loving real. I'm not even aghast at this story book game for the furry thing, which many have already pointed out seems almost completely tangiential to the story and stuff as a whole. It's the eye-searingly ugly character designs and the laughably bad, basement dweller-caliber writing. If this story were even semi-decently written, I would probably cock an eyebrow at the furry thing but set it aside, if I even paid attention to a thing like Major/Minor at all.

Doesn't help some of the highest profile furries are utter creeps like the guy that was stalking Tess McNeille.

RA Rx posted:Seriously, Lackadaisy. The artist has also done a fair amount of (really gorgeous) artwork of the characters as actual humans and it's actually kind of uncanny how well everyone's features translate between the human and feline versions. It basically shows that yeah she could do the comic with everyone being human and it would change absolutely nothing, the only reason every is cats is for stylistic reasons.

I may or may not have spent a ridiculous amount of money ordering the two Lackadaisy hardcovers last night (there's a bundle on the comic's online store with both books and a tshirt and some pins/buttons and a calendar) Shipping to Australia was... a lot I have more dollars than sense

Oh, there were werewolf trials alright, mostly in Eastern Europe around the 16th and 17th century. Apart from that, I do hope we are being expertly trolled.
