You mentioned a difference between folks who just dig the art/porn (I presume a lot of it is porn?), and the people who are in "the scene". Do you know any numbers about that? For every person that would be part of "the scene", how many people are detached from it, but still enjoy the aspects of it that you mentioned?

Camrath posted:Yeah, this is very much a thing- it's one of the furry behaviours that pisses me off the most tbh. I mean, I'm a tolerant guy. I don't care what you get up to in private, so long as no person or animal gets hurt and everything is consensual. But I do NOT want to know that you get off on making GBS threads yourself in fursuit, or being pissed on, or that you jerk off about the idea of eating and digesting other furries or whatever. I don't want you to loving tell me about it, I don't want to see conbadges or artwork worn openly depicting it, and if you're wearing diapers without a medical reason then I don't want your skanky rear end within ten feet of me. If you gently caress in fursuit, then at least make sure to properly wash and groom it so nobody could tell- and ideally, have one bodysuit for public and one for private. As I said before, I've had to yell at people for wearing matted sex-suits in public, for wearing conbadges depicting baby characters with filled diapers, for so much other poo poo that just revolts me. Is there much crossover between furries and fetishes like that? I can't imagine every single person is into crazy stuff and the like, but it seems that there's more visibility of furries who are also into vile stuff rather than uh, non-furries who are into vile stuff?

Tracula posted:Wasn't there an ask/tell thread from a while ago where some people talked about being artists, having to draw strange poo poo, what they said no to despite the money, etc? I know it got locked and maybe even gassed because how badly it went to poo poo with all the bickering. I remember one that was "Ask us about drawing [something] for money" but I don't remember what the [something] was. Maybe "weird stuff"? Really not sure.

SamLikesCake posted:I do have some stories that will curl your hair.  In a more serious question, how many people would you say are like you? Average person, maybe owns a suit, that kind of thing? At least compared to those that are more 'serious' about it.

ShadowCatboy posted:Frankly, so long as you're not obsessing over how much you wanna gently caress Rarity or something I don't see what's so bad about adult pony fans. Liking something is much different to calling oneself a brony. The specific term leans much closer to the former than the latter. At least for bronies specifically.

Travis343 posted:Yeah thanks it's 2015, I have seen the original japanese cut of Sailor Moon. It is still a show for children, just one that didn't insult their intelligence. The best kid's media, from Sailor Moon to say, Where The Red Fern Grows, acknowledges that kids can process complex topics on levels that grown ups rarely give them credit for. This seems to be common with some other similar children's shows. Some seasons of Kamen Rider for example tend to tackle some more 'serious' issues, with Gaim for example having the literal genocide of 6/7ths of the Earth's population as an important plot point.

Archimago posted:I know this is kind of off-topic, but when you're taking a commission is it not standard practice to get like, half upfront? I mean they could obviously still screw you for the other half, but then you can just not deliver the final product? I think that for photography and video, it works like this: They get paid some part in advance, they make the product, then they turn in a low-res watermarked version, for the client to see if it's what they wanted. Full payment happens, then they turn the HQ one. Not sure about art commissions though, I imagine that the answer varies a lot. I know that when I paid a friend 35 euros for a piece of Discworld's Death with some Kamen Rider elements, there wasn't such process.

Camrath posted:And gently caress it, despite the way I've addressed things throughout this thread, there were some good memories that still make me smile. Nights at cons dancing for eight hours straight, the satisfaction I got from navigating over a hundred carpet-wearers through the streets of London, road trips to Germany.. It's really just a shame that so many formative experiences of my young adulthood are tied up with all the negative, disgusting, embarrassing bullshit of the Furry fandom. If it's not too weird to ask, would you care to share some of the good memories and good stuff about the community? Was it just personal pride ("drat i'm good at carpet-wrangling") or just Good Times?
