but please call out individual hives of nazism within your facet of society. that is a service to the world, these forums being the weird bazaar of ideas that they are. i really love that we have representatives of the furry people who periodically illuminate the strange heart of their internet community for the rest of us in the process of their fleeting furry-to-furry conversations. i never want that to change

does anyone have that russian dashcam video where a platoon of costumed people in full-body spongebob etc suits pile out of a van at a red light, drag another driver out and beat him up while the dashcam's drivers whoop and giggle russianly for joy that's how i feel when the furries allow me to overhear their conversation about the difficult members of their society

Crowetron posted:I'm glad I remembered it correctly, but I dunno how I feel about you guys telling me it gets crazier from there. "Mocking my wife's passions so internet strangers will think I'm cool" still ranks up there in terms of most pathetic stories I've heard on this website. Specifically, she was trying to make a Madoka-like magical girl webcomic with an art style like Shigenori Soejima (the main character artist on modern Persona games) but she was still in an early phase of getting basic art techniques down. At one point the webcomic-creator thread she was posting in was telling her to try drawing sketches of eggs to get a better understanding of shape, shadow, and shading. Meanwhile her husband was photoshopping her art with FYAD for some reason. The breaking point was when she discovered he was mocking a hand she drew by photoshopping it being stuck into an rear end, and this was hurtful because she modeled it on her own hand. Someone in the old Sagas thread linked the point where everyone found out here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=3531359&perpage=40&pagenumber=78#post427815415

Ugly In The Morning posted:That’s not what I was saying at all, those jokes were insanely hosed up. I do not miss the era of constant wall to wall holocaust jokes. I was raised by straight up, numbers on the arm holocaust survivors so it's never been this abstract concept of a terrible thing to me that I think it is to a lot of people. Talking about the negative effects of abstraction of the holocaust into an all purpose metaphor for Very Bad Things is definitely for a different thread though. I guess the internet of the 2000s was very like a massive mock thread in a lot of ways, with all that entails. You give people room to be savage and a certain percentage will always use it to indulge their cruel urges. small ghost fucked around with this message at 14:24 on Feb 11, 2020 |

Tashilicious posted:this parsed to me as being a "it was understandable the amount of hate they got" I was responding to this: Ghost Leviathan posted:Furry hate has kinda aged poorly given how much of it in retrospect is pretty obviously thinly veiled hatred of LGBT+ people. Which I felt wasn’t accurate at all and was pretty revisionist given the way a lot of them presented themselves online. Hell, I don’t even think a lot of them were all that public about being LGBT+ in the 2000’s, but trying to remember internet stuff from when I was a teenager isn’t the easiest thing in the world.

I disagree with even that because the scope and scale of it was, even at the time, pretty disproportionate. You think we are being revisionist with how we think it aged poorly, I think you are being revisionist with exactly how nasty it got. The line goes directly with how much hate they got to the poison gas attack at a furry con. I also think you are being revisionist with how queer furry was. There was a lot of very open gay/trans/intersex furry stuff for ever, and it was always a target of the mocking and toxicity.

Ugly In The Morning posted:I was responding to this: A lot of it 100% definitely was rooted in queerphobia but it's confounded by the fact that, as you say, furry in the 2000s was very different to what it is now, and also by the fact the majority of furries aren't now and weren't then, lgbt+. It's a significantly higher proportion than the general public, for sure, but it's still a minority within the fandom, most of them are still cis and straight. It's never sat right with me as a Queer™ to treat furries as a de facto lgbt+ movement when so many of them are cishets.

I remember the Nessa+FYAD stuff. She was meant to be able to get to hand out a bunch of probations as a kind of payment for the avatars she drew, but FYAD IKs rotate randomly, so she never got to do it. I got one of her avatars and won the IK lottery later, so I asked if she'd still want to do the ones she was owed for fun, but, unsurprisingly, I guess, it turned out to not have been all that great to have weirdo Goons jumping at the chance to do owns on her then-fiance loooong ater she had forgiven him for re-posting the art, and she'd rather not have that become a thing again. The webcomic stuff was funny. Like, the webcomic was a little bit hapless and amateurish, but for sure not the kind of messed up thing that others got made fun of; like how AxeManiac drew pics of women in various torture contraptions, being turned into human urinals and w/e, so when it turned out that the person re-posting a pretty mundane webcomic was her fiance being a petty moron; people turned on him, of course. It's been years, though, and I think finding it funny that the webcomic was posted by her fiance is OK, but don't give her or him poo poo about stuff that old any longer imo. hallelujah posted:oh hot drat 2014 I got a ton of great book recommendations wayyyyy back from there! I had an absurd commute @ my first out of uni job and read a ton of Goon recommendations during the train ride. Spend around 8 hours on my daily commute for a couple of months and read a ton + posted an absurd amount on the forums. The forums are still neat, but I don't see ever being that active again and sort of largely phased out I don't know who has what handle any longer, but shoutout to those thread regulars Also, lol @ remembering the dead roommate story and the lurker who popped in to share his tier-list of thread regulars based on their boob-size from random selfies and just general fanfic speculation on his part. Someone called him out for being a weirdo and his response was to try and placate the person doing the call-out by bumping her up on the boob tier-list. Like, dude, if you're gonna be a weird lurker doing a boob tier-list, at least preserve the integrity of your boob tier list; because you're not gonna come across well either way. That thread had more creeps and morons lurking it than any single other on the forums, I'd guess.
