Reality check too powerful.

They’ll be back though. They always come back.

Yes, yes they do. Hi @Balgias !

We already have the answer to that.

Never heard of it which is probably the point lol

 

[Thistle]

I can't wait to see how many "dire wolves" named Zalto and "sabertooth tigers" called Jimba conveniently pop up in the furry community after this.

tfw i might actually have enough autism to make a sabertooth tiger called Himba with a massive dong, just to spite them.... no... no... I shouldn't run gay ops.

Yerf is not I was talking about. It died long before the age of social media so it had very few social functions. Plus the barrier of entry was fucking ridiculous. FA and Twitter don't require a manually-approved application form, Yerf did.

I mean we already sort of saw that with the exodus's from Sheezy to DA to FA to Inkbunny. There might be some furries who are interested in having conversations that aren't centered around red rockets and how to clean dried jizz out of faux fur but these people are few and far between, and building an entire website for SFW content interaction is a massive upheaval for something that maybe ten people are going to engage with unironically.

Most social media and website pundits do not want to segregate their userbase much anymore into specific categories or even age groups (despite it being a legal necessity) for the simplicity of ease of access. Most furries use FA as a primary social networking site on top of it being a media site for the simple fact that every furry on the fucking planet aside from lolifurs who fled to Inkbunny and/or people who FA staff have pissed off personally happen to have an account there.

It's the same reason why DA is still going strong despite decades of mismanagement and fetish content on the front page; because even if you hate it, there have been millions of artists posting on it, most of whom still have an account if only to follow other artists while keeping their own art off-site. I'm already seeing people who stormed off during the whole Eclipse disaster come crawling back with their tails between their legs because "all my friends are here".

I know it wouldn't go anywhere, but I still think it would be an interesting experiment in this day and age. Of course, whoever decided to run it would have to do it out of their own pocket because there's approximately 0 chance they would get the traffic (or the advertisers) to make any money off ads or donations. But either way, I'd love to see just what kind of social media drama they'd brew up without porn to trigger it.

Anyway, this is just wishful thinking. Not even furries are stupid enough to try to make an idea like that work. Even the ones who try to build a squeaky clean facade for the fandom know on which side their bread is buttered.

I'm disappointed you didn't go with "Himbo" and made him completely chaste and oblivious to all the fucking going on around him.

If it was feature rich and heavily moderated and did a good job of selling itself as a social hub it might work if only because the SFW nature would allow Google Adsense to be used with it which pay quite a bit. The issue would be now you have a space minors want to be which means pedophiles galore.

Unfortunately, that's an unavoidable issue with any platform, not just furry shit. Facebook and Twitter are legally required to refuse registration to anyone below 13, and this theoretical SFW furry site could have an age restriction of 18 (or 16 if they're feeling really risky) but let's face it: anyone who wants in can just lie about their age anyway. It's not like everybody on FurAffinity, a website that proudly hosts porn, is of age to begin with. Those who want in will get in, all the website can do is cover its own ass legally..

Either way, maybe a website like this could have a (tiny) chance of succeeding by deliberately advertising itself as a place one could browse anywhere without fear of dog dick on their phone or laptop screen while the normies are rubbernecking. To be honest, I'm putting too much thought into this. But it's a boring Wednesday evening, I got some tequila, and I'm an engineer. Overthinking solutions (and solving problems) is what we do.

In which case, it's an important case study for anyone coming up with a 'new' site to use that won't have a cult following immediately, to time themselves wisely to either

a.) The death of a site.

b.) Accept the fact their own site will be niche for a long time, if not from birth to death.

c.) Wait to deploy until a major site makes a boneheaded move that pisses off enough people to leave, and hope the site doesn't roll things back as an 'oopsie'

I think case C is most applicable, minus waiting to deploy, because you need to build name recognition, but be able to provide something that a competitor doesn't. That's why InkBunny still exists.

In the case of FLO, and it's quick Communist takeover: It was likely in part due to FA specifically denying uncensored Anti Nazi/Fash content on the site, given that all contexts of swastikas & "fash / nazi" text is removed upon report by autists wanting to 'get back' at Commies in some small way.

I know it wouldn't go anywhere, but I still think it would be an interesting experiment in this day and age. Of course, whoever decided to run it would have to do it out of their own pocket because there's approximately 0 chance they would get the traffic (or the advertisers) to make any money off ads or donations.

If someone has their own capital, fine with running it out of their own home to minimize cost, and willing to treat it as hobby or learning project for creating a user interactive website & a full-stack web development exercise... That it in it's own right would be a compelling reason to at least attempt a SFW-only site, or attempt to make a direct competitor better or unique features.

That said, 'rapid' deployment of an experiment like that could be done with any number of Danbooru clones that are configured to be SFW only.

That would include: Szurubooru, Sequenzia, Moebooru or any number of Danbooru1 forks.

Szurubooru or Sequenzia can fit comfortably on a Rasberry Pi 3 or 4 with USB to SATA storage, making an 'experiment' easily viable.

this theoretical SFW furry site could have an age restriction of 18 (or 16 if they're feeling really risky) but let's face it: anyone who wants in can just lie about their age anyway.

This has happened for the longest time, and why COPPA law exists when it came to 13 and up. And those 'age gate' systems are only there as a 'cover my ass' measure.
Because you know: "every kid will follow the law and be truthful about who they are".

Unless they fucked a dog or a kid, I'm not all that interested.

They're a troon and a furry, I'm sure something will come up, give it time.

So much for not talking about Kiwi Farms anymore.

With that look? I'll give you even odds on either kiddy-diddling or diaper fetish. Maybe raping someone who's passed out at a party. Somehow, I'm not seeing much dog-fucker there, but I could be wrong.

You don't get it, what if he shrivels up and dies because he couldn't catalogue every single one of his thoughts on social media? HOW will others know his thoughts are morally positive?

Strange, I thought they wanted the attention. Suddenly the attention going away is a good thing? Make up your mind.

It's 3000 years old loli vampires all over again.

Kiwifarmers have a collective lack object permanence due to us all having the attention span of half of a retarded goldfish and yet these people still, without fail, always manage to re-insert themselves in to the spotlight.

It’s fucking fascinating.

Almost like they're mostly just attention whores with nothing better to do.

It doesn't. That's just an excuse for being petty and immature.

(And if you want to read more into it, it's also misogynistic since it implies women just can't control themselves because muh hormones.)

 

[Calamity]

HRT Doesn't fuck with you like that unless you've just started it. It's pretty much just a second puberty - Once the hormones actually get balanced enough, you're back to normal. It's more likely they actually level out emotions for people that were before something they struggled with controlling.

It's possible this is the user that's been giving Ketu trouble on curiouscat and Twitter.

[Jolly Copulation]

Personally, I think this moron can't shut up about it because they know their site is DOA otherwise and they want the drama to drum up exposure. Even negative publicity can be good publicity as they say.

Since I know this is being read Ketu, fuck you hypocrite. Why are feral griffons and dragons allowed when their genitals are based on real animal junk? So grooming lizard and bird fuckers is kosher? What a tool.

Edit: Also, the HRT didn't turn you into a jerk, it just gave you an excuse when the real toxic human inside bubbles to the surface. You were a toxic person before HRT, and are now.
