Yeah, over the last few weeks it had gone from people posting the really weird poo poo Deviant Art has to offer in order to mock it to people posting just big image dumps of fairly standard furry porn.

That's basically the opposite of what happened, especially if you read the complaints posted in the thread by the mods--apparently it's that the stuff being posted was too out there, and that people were clicking on NWS links and getting upset by what they were seeing after clicking a NWS link in the Deviantart thread

Huh, that definitely wasn't my experience. I did see a few of the people complaining about NWS links before I checked out and that was pretty dumb, but I read the thread to see weird poo poo like the crystal therapy guy, that person who was obsessed with sitting on the floor in the back seat of the car, and that person who did nothing but make montages of badly MS-Painted cartoon characters standing in front of corporate headquarters. Looking back on it now that stuff was all fairly work-safe to view, so yeah I guess the the thread did make a sharp NWS turn, but I'm just too jaded because I didn't find all the fetish stuff being posted there gross or offensive, just boring. Like didn't we all get over the blueberry inflation people and multi-boobed cow people like a decade ago? They're a dime a dozen on the internet nowadays, if you're going to go hunting find the really rare stuff.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Kinda the problem with those mock threads is eventually they start running out of easy targets, so either they start going for really niche and egregious content or just finding new reasons to mock things and touching the poop. At worst, going all Helldump.

Because the forums were a thing, then there was an anime forum, then anime was banned, then moot went and made 4chan so he had a place to discuss anime.

I'm going to unironically say that their only exposure to the term might actually just be the biscuits, because they were very popular in the 80s and 90s because getting discontinued; so it could be a memory from their childhood and don't understand the significance.

Here's what they looked like.

They're still horrendously ignorant if they want to argue the fact, but I think that's might be where they're coming from as that's legit the only place I can even remember seeing anything related to the term.

Still not as horribly insensitive as Antwerpse Handjes.

People got weirded out by the deviantart thread because it changed from “hahaha these people are so weird, laugh at them” to “this art is weird, but we have a bunch of people in this thread who produce art like this for money and have unique perspectives on the fandom and fetishes, lets all learn some fascinating things about fandom and sexuality and psychology” and the people who just wanted to mock and laugh at strangers got miffed that the thread wasn’t just that anymore

Also the idiocy of clicking on a nws link and being upset that it was porn, and therefore deciding to report it, like wtf

We got some dunks in on one of the dudes who was complaining the loudest but he had, earlier in the thread, admitted a big rear end milf Grinch someone posted made him horny

Also he was intensely angry about the fact that I’m pretty open about being a furry and he would not stop going on about it lmao

All these things were happening at once as well as a bunch of posting about posting until I'm pretty sure every post in the thread was getting reported by one person or another

There's been a pretty steady flow of new "what the christ" for the life of the thread, even while the above was going on. The thread enemy has always been people unironically hornyposting or people posting stuff that crosses the funny-gross / gross-gross line, as well as the standard image thread issue of people imagedumping a bunch of random crap they found with no curation.

I don't know anything about this furry/hentai/deviantart thread but goons punching down to feel better about themselves has been a thing since... well, my memory only goes back to 2003, but I'm guessing right since the very start. People still now do it -- they'll spend aaaages every week on an internet forum, trolling people for being nerds or losers, and apparently never once consider the irony

According to the explanation on the candy store site, the hand shape is due to a local legend, nothing to do with Leopold's reign of terror.

No clue how credible that is, but it's a crappy coincidence at best.

There was a thread about self-publishing on the business subforum, and a lot of posts is about erotica. Occasionally they provide discounts or free stories. I believe a controversy was about some of those erotica being incest.

I, uh, don't recall there being any "blackface chat" and I went ahead and converted that racist imagery into a link so no one who doesn't want to doesn't have to look at it.

I'm not probing you since I get the feeling you were trying to contribute... something? Wrong thread, maybe? But I cannot believe I need to say this: don't post inline, unspoilered racist imagery in the Funny Pictures thread, good grief.

It's an accidental mispost in the wrong thread. There's currently a thread, can't recall which, which is talking about a video clip from a British comedy about opening a time capsule that has a golliwog doll in it.

e: oh, it was this one. he's just slow to the draw.
