Ok, wanting to gently caress a MLP, I can understand. Kind of. We're human, we like to stick our dick in things. Even if that thing is not human and not real, it's still a universal concept.

But I do not understand that loving My Little Dashy story. It does not compute. Why would anyone write that. Why does it exist. WHY.

Yeah, it's at least relatable. Who doesn't have some weird thing that gives them boners? The motivation is the same, even if it is directed a bizarre place.

But the FPlus knows this. And they knew they had to dig deeper than that to really find the truly remarkably terrible parts of the Brony fandom.

Gotcha. The fact that the author didn't want to just spice up vanilla incest with cartoon bestiality with his fanfic really makes it next-level kind of crazy.

Speaking of Irregular, why did you guys stop making it? Did you run out of subjects to talk to or are people afraid of coming onto the show because it's a spinoff of a podcast that would normally mock them? Squint mentioned at the end of the recent episode that the gang tried to do one of Bronies but it didn't happen in the end. How long ago was that when it got canned?

I ask because the laid-back nature of Irregular was a nice change of pace compared to the hyperbolic tone of The F+. Plus, hearing the people of these communities awkwardly talk about their experiences was pretty funny in of itself.

My assumption is that the name of the project scares people off, especially in the case of bronies ("What, 'Irregular?' I'm not irregular! They're just gonna make fun of me!"). I was the one trying to put together the brony episode. I got close: I had a fan artist and a fan composer lined up, but even they relied on other people referring me to them because it's not like I have a who's-who in bronydom written down on a Post-It next to my monitor.

The fanfic writer thing is where it fell apart. I wanted at least somewhat prominent content creators in the brony fandom; not just any bronies would do for me. This was because content creators tend to have a more well-rounded impression on the ins and outs of a fandom rather than the hooting peanut-gallery platitudes and cheerleading of the pure consumers. I even tried sending Robcakeran53, the writer of My Little Dashie, a Skype message, but he never replied. Neither did the other two or three authors I'd been told about. Aside from that, I was having a hard time finding a good couple of hours to schedule for the two bronies I did have on board and it just sort of fizzled. The time frame for all of this was from November 2012 to February 2013.

But yeah I guess now that we skewered My Little Dashie a bit, I'd hazard a guess that Rob's probably not interested in being interviewed.

I'd probably enjoy an episode of Irregular with fan content makers from different fandoms much more, possibly with one brony in the mix. Heck, some other fandoms are as crazy as the MLP fandom (I'm looking at you Pokemon and Touhou fandoms).

I'd imagine that you can find people on this very forum who are fan artists and who'd be glad to talk about their eccentricity for an hour.

It has a super dedicated fanbase for a fanfic, with people writing fanfics of the fanfic and all. It has an insane amount of fan art, of the fan fic, with fans of the fanfics putting their OCs in the fanfic and poo poo. Along with that it's the most tryhard grimdark thing I've ever seen, like I just skimmed over one 'book' of it (there's like loving four) and every other chapter had 'and then this young pony got fuckin torn apart and it was supes gross'. And of course there's tons of creepy horse loving.

Pretty much it's an insane singularity of almost every bad fanfic and fanfic community.

Fallout Equestria used to come up pretty often in the TvTropes thread (and/or similar ones), so I imagine most people who listen to the podcast and post on here already know all about it.

...But seriously, that fourth (and fifth) book is loving huge jesus. It's like they took their writing design from the Harry Potter books but in the worst possible way: more books need more words! :downs:

Also, Portaxx just posted a lovely rant over in the ballpit:

portaxx posted:

Ah, it's good to be back!

First off, I know this is going to keep being brought up, so I might as well state it here: Don't worry about why I was gone. Don't get me wrong, I'm not offended that people asked about it. I'm sincerely flattered and touched to see that total strangers were concerned about me during my hiatus. But don't worry too much about it. I'm not dying or anything! So just let me be the sad clown that I am and let me dance for your amusement. I will say that no, I was not mad at anyone in the podcast or vice versa, and no episode topic drove me offline. Your buddy Portaxx is way stronger than that, kids! Just clearing that up since I don't want any arguments consisting of "why'd you go?" "F U DON'T BOTHER HER," heh. I'm back and that's all that matters. Ever. In the whole world.

Secondly, this episode gives me a chance to talk about something I've seriously been wanting to discuss for years but haven't been able to, for reasons that'll become quite apparent in this very post. And what might that be?

poo poo YOU DEAL WITH WHEN YOU POST ART ONLINE

Yes, I completely identified with Lauren Faust's plight when she got hassled by creepers in that material. That crap that happened to her happens very Very VERY VERY often. In fact, I've been dealing with it for many years myself. And while I doubt I'll ever get into all gritty details, I figured I should illustrate (har har) what kind of things an artist can go through.

"PORTAXX, I MADE MY OWN GALLERY! WHAT ARE SOME THINGS I CAN EXPECT?!"

Why, I'm glad you asked, me! Based on my experiences, here's a list of what you can look forward to:

- People asking for porn: In other words, "HI I MASTURBATE TO FAT SHEEP FALLING OFF A CLIFF!! XD WHAT DO YOU CHARGE??": What's that? You have no porn of any kind on your site? You don't even mention porn on your commissions page? That's fine! You'll be asked about it anyway! You may wonder why a person would blurt out their kinks to a total stranger just for the teeny tiny chance of porn when there are so many other artists out there who will gladly fulfill their request or even give it away for free. The answer is: internet. Which brings us to...

- People introducing themselves by telling you their fetish: Or "HI I LOVE YOUR STUFF! I MASTURBATE TO FAT SHEEP FALLING OFF A CLIFF BY THE WAY! ANYWAY GOODBYE!!!!": This happens all the loving time. People assume that enjoying your work means they are obligated to contact you and give you status updates on their genitals. If I had to guess, I'd say they were folks whose own little internetty social circles introduce themselves this way, and they honestly have no idea that "I'M JERKIN'!" isn't a valid substitute for "hello!"

- Strangers falling in love with you and trying to date you: Or "I've watched your work for years! I dream of the day we can meet! I want to take you out sometime :3" "... who the gently caress are you?": I understand this to a degree. Sure, I'm not a real celebrity, but if I'm entertaining someone and I'm well-known to any degree, then it can have the same effect on a person. I've seen harmless versions of this behavior. But I've also seen ultra-mega-stalky-creepy behavior too. I have been asked out on internet dates, and the would-be suitor's preferred location has almost always been a MUCK. I have had people make a long list about all my oh-so-delightful qualities, none of which lined up with reality (seriously, you love how I "only have sweet, kind things to say" to people? Have you SEEN the awful poo poo I inflict upon the other readers?) I have had strangers fall in love with a version of me that doesn't exist, only to become enraged when they find out I don't match their weird headcanon... and then I somehow find out after the fact. And yes, it's all because I drew some pictures. I know this because it's among the first things these people bring up.

- People demanding porn: or "IF YOU DON'T DRAW THIS I'M GOING TO MAKE YOUR LIFE MISERABLE, BITCH!": Oh well in that case I'll TOTALLY draw all the fat sheep falling off a cliff you want!

- *loving asterisk actions*: or *FLUFFLES YOUR HAIR AND POUNCEHUGGLES YOU MEEP MEW MEW O_O :3c*: It's never a teenager. The person will be at least 20 years old. And no, they will absolutely not notice that you aren't responding with silly roleplay bullcrap of your own. They'll keep doing it no matter loving what. And it's always a furry. No, that's not bigotry. It's just scientific fact. If furrykind can get together and pass a law stating that anyone who does this to random folks gets catapulted into the next solar system, I'd be very much obliged.

- People informing you as to which one of your pictures they jerk it to: or "OMG I looove your work! This fat sheep you drew is so sexy! Especially when it's falling off a cliff! I uploaded it to the Yankin' It To Fat Sheep Falling Off A Cliff Mailing List and everyone loved it too! :DDD": Thanks, I'm glad the silly art I did for a friend's birthday aided you in your sexual dysfunction. I'm even more glad that you loving told me all about it!

- People asking what your friends' fetishes are: or "So it looks like you know This Other Person! Are they into fat sheep falling off a cliff too? Think you could introduce me if so? :)": At this point you may be wondering why I haven't become a serial killer. And at this point, I'm wondering the same thing myself.

- People demanding art for free: or "So like, can you draw my avatar for free? Incidentally his name is IHaveSoManyStupidLittleDetailsIt'dMakeTetsuyaNomuraPukeUpALung!... no? WHY NOT???": Depending on the situation, I'm not at all opposed to giving out free art. I do it a lot, actually. But it depends on who's asking, what they want, and why they want it. I will draw Lemon basically anything he wants, because I know he usually needs it for some project. Plus he once pulled me out of that out-of-control train right before that time bomb's clock hit 0, so y'know. I can't really draw some stranger's goofballicious character for free for no reason. And oh boy, will people ever get mad when they don't get their requests fulfilled. This will happen to you at least once. If it only happens once, then you are the luckiest artist in the world, because holy poo poo. Similarly, be prepared for random people to ask you to do insane things like "animate an entire 30-minute pilot for my cartoon series" without pay. Because, like, you need to "believe in the project, maaaan." Yeah, I've done free art for projects I believed in, but I had a reason to believe in them, rear end in a top hat. I've also done my fair share of requesting free work for certain projects, but thanks to stuff like this, I always preface it with about 73 paragraphs of "but if you don't want to, that's fine!!!" I probably end up sounding like the most insecure, neurotic weirdo ever. Which I am, but they don't need to know that.

- People trying to trick you into drawing porn: or "Can you draw a fat sheep falling off a cliff... AS A JOKE??": Holy loving mother of loving gently caress-hell, I loving can not stand this. It's creepy as poo poo. And this happens all the goddamned time. Popular excuses are "oh I'm just fascinated by this stuff!", "I just think it would be fun!", and yes "It's just a funny joke!" Really? REALLY? A cat-man inflating like a balloon is a joke?? What the gently caress, do you think I'm going to buy that?! Even if I wasn't in this podcast, my god, a human being can tell the difference between "JOKE" and "NOT A JOKE." What, do you go to open mic night and say "so yeah... WOMEN BEING TURNED INTO SHARKS AND THEY REALLY DON'T LIKE IT!... Amirite??"? gently caress off, you sick bastards. There's something to be said about the kind of person who tries to coyly trick you into participating in their masturbation sessions. Especially if they're doing it because they assume you'd decline if you knew what the situation really was. And ESPECIALLY if they're that goddamned inept at it. Oh, you won't draw their SFW porn? That's cool! They'll just track down your friends and try to trick them instead! Oh, and they'll namedrop you when they do it, too! Even though you turned them away!

- THE BARGAINING, OH MY GOD THE BARGAINING: or "oh my god I just wanted to post art please just end my suffering": Now, say you decline someone's request. Assuming they don't loving flip out on you and try to ruin your life over it (see below), they will bargain with you. "So, you won't draw a fat sheep falling off a cliff? Okay, how about a chubby goat falling off a pyramid? How about a sheep standing on a cliff and eyeballing a giant cake? How about a sleepwalking sheep visiting the Grand Canyon? How about a cotton ball teetering on the edge of a table?" loving STOP IT. Oh, you work with other artists? Great! Now the creeper can muscle in on your projects and ask THEM about drawing fat sheep falling off a cliff! Hmm? Your friends don't want to even discuss what levels of SFW porn are acceptable because they don't want to talk about SFW porn at all? Hahahhahaha gently caress you, if CreepySheepLuvr78 wants to talk about it, he'll make sure it's discussed! But don't you worry, because CreepySheepLuvr78 is also under the impression that the world works as a set of very specific stats. If you say a swear word, he'll graciously remind you that swearing isn't work-safe either and that as a result, you have no excuse to NOT honor his porn request. And at this rate, you'll be loving swearing every other goddamned word because HOLY poo poo WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE loving INTERNET.

"PORTAXX, THAT'S SOME CRAZY poo poo! WHY DON'T YOU IGNORE THESE PEOPLE??"

Many times this does work. However, many other times they will not take a hint. And when they don't take a hint, they definitely loving follow you. Many years ago, there was one particular dude who would pester me about SFW porn (AS A JOKE OF COURSE) and I ignored him. Years went by, and he seriously tracked me down on a completely unrelated website and registered for a loving account just to talk to me.* After about two sentences swearing that it was all a cuh-razyyy coinky-dink that I happened to be on that site too, he immediately jumped into "... so ready for my commission finally? X3" And that's probably the most tolerable incident. Many times it's much, much worse. All because they saw your art, liked it, and hoped to jerk off to it. Or jerk off to it more, depending on the case.

"PORTAXX, THIS IS STUPID! JUST TELL THEM TO gently caress OFF!"

Ohh, how I wish I could. This could be a post in and of itself. But long story short, denying a person anything online can get you into a shitstack of trouble. I'm talking about threats, stalking, shadowy smear campaigns, OVERT smear campaigns, harassment of your friends, calls to your ISP, baseless accusations, really hilariously stupid attempts at framing you for hacking, and just generally massive clusterfucks. And yes, all of these things have happened to me over the years. It is goddamned unreal how crazy internet people can be, trust me. And that's why you can't even really discuss these things in most places. If I were to post this to a blog, I'd run the risk of getting a huge flamewar and demands for me to apologize for my bigotry. I'd probably hear "but I do that! Are you saying I'm creepy?!" and "but my friends do that all the time and I don't see a problem with it! Ergo you're wrong!" Nothing would change, nobody would learn anything, and suddenly I'd have a massive headache. It's just not worth it. But since I'm now going to try to turn the ballpit into my own personal Tumblr, I figured eh, might as well post this!

So, to recap, this is what being an online artist is like: You post your work online. Lunatics pester you. You can't really tell them to go the gently caress away because they might explode Crazy-Aid all over you and your friends, but if you ignore them, they assume they're BFFs with you and will make sure you get a play-by-play of what mischief their sexparts are up to.

That said, OMG ART TRADE ANYONE? XD

* Before you ask, no, it's not this site.
