Cheating on a partner is honestly one of the most damaging things you can do to a person. It stays with them for the rest of their lives, makes them question their self worth endlessly and leaves emotional scars that sometimes never heal. If you found someone new, just say it.
Hey Cartoon Network; I know you wanna reboot Thundercats and all but can you like, finish the last time you rebooted it in 2011? That shit was really good.
Iโm kind of afraid to say it, but furries, we gotta talk. Itโs about callout culture, yes. Before you scoff, hear me out!
I think weโve hit a critical point in which weโve begun to devour ourselves and in trying to reduce toxicity, we made it exponentially worse. Thread:
Hey there gay men! I know youโve heard this before and I want to say. Itโs okay to not be attracted to women. Itโs why youโre gay, and thatโs not something you should feel bad about. HOWEVER it would be really nice if some of you could withhold those โwomen are grossโ comments!
So a while back, I saw a tweet where someone pointed out that a lot of merch with deer on it usually has them being gored/eaten/etc. I thought to myself "well dang, that's true!" and put a design together.
Would enough of you be interested if I got this made into pins?
Once again I need to discuss something about a FA/Twitter user named Teri_Kressner
They have been repeatedly asked not to commission NSFW art with my fursona and have continued to do so. This is beyond harassment at this point and itโs wrong to put other artists in this position
Iโm really glad the
#PlusSizeFursuiter
tag exists because when I started suiting, there were a lot of negative comments and hurtful things said to me that discouraged me from suiting often and I want to see that stigma change!
Also if the computer does everything for an artist, then thereโs no reason why everyone isnโt an amazing artist, right? Iโll wait.
We gotta knock this idea that folks seem to have when it comes to digital art because it couldnโt be further from reality and it cheapens hard work.
Controversial take: you are not entitled to nor owed access an artistโs creative endeavors. If you like a design they made but donโt want to pay for one, that doesnโt give you a pass to just take it. This is the same ideology Ai bros use.
A species design is still their work.
I didnโt think this would need to be said but, some of you are monsters. An artist that owes a ton of commissions goes missing and people are informing you they may have committed suicide, your first reaction shouldnโt be โI donโt care or give them pityโ. For fucks sake.
Adobe: โweโre raising our subscription prices to be outlandish and charging cancelation feesโ
The public: yikes, youโre really making a bad name for yourselves right now.
Adobe: โhold my beerโ
UPDATE: Paypal has sided with me and closed the case! The rep I spoke to said the proof I provided was plenty to show the "smoking gun" and they were able to deal with it quickly!! Thank you to them for handling this so insanely quick!
Reminder that this is an exploitative policy that traps artists. When an artist leaves, you cease production and pay out their remaining sales. Also given the scandal around the companyโs owner being a convicted pedophile, putting this ultimatum on artists reeks of entrapment.
Yoooo, since I didnโt expect this to gain as much traction, I want to give full disclosure that I didnโt make this, just happened across it and shared. I have no idea on the source, but I wanted to be honest and say itโs a repost.
๐ฅ Hot Artists don't Gatekeep ๐ฅ
A lot of folks wanted to know how I achieved the Jelly-effect on recent art, so I decided to show exactly how it's done!
Hope this helps folks!
If you wanna tip me, you can here but it's not necessary at all!

You have no idea how much I dreaded her when I first saw her because I was waiting for the dumb/fat joke to fly. Not a single time was she used for this and ended up being a character, along with her husband, that I adore.
Learning to draw is hard. Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard you grind it out, you donโt improve but I promise, if you keep at it, you positively will. Everyone grows at at different paces but the important thing is to never give up. But keep practicing; it gets easier.
Itโs gotten so bad that if you donโt keep up with the near daily drama, you can be called out yourself for not unfollowing/blocking someone you didnโt even know did anything wrong. This in itself is really abusive and manipulative.
Donโt string someone along and tell them you love them when your heart or interests are elsewhere. Its pure cowardice to behave this way.
Also thereโs a special place in hell for people who try to tell someone โitโs your fault I cheated on youโ. (This is gaslighting btw).
Was doodling to warm up / listening to some chill music and accidentally made myself a new character! I've always loved Griffins and I don't see many chubby lady ones either so why the heck not? No idea what to name her though. Excuse my garbage tier messy sketch.

Callouts have caused deaths. People have committed suicide because of them, people have been doxed and threatened harm irl; itโs gotten out of control. Thereโs a lot a lot of people who are terrified to say anything about anything for fear theyโll be next. This isnโt welcoming.
Weโve fostered this culture where shooting one another down is an act of glory and weโve done it in such a way that if anyone asks questions or says anything to the contrary, they become the new target for enabling whatever was called out in a guilt by association power move.
While I understand that many people conduct callouts with good intentions, there are a lot of harmful repercussions of what we have done to our community by encouraging them. Itโs gone from PSAs to almost fetishization and itโs making the community very hard to exist in.
Whoever started the โthis person follows a problematic individual and hasnโt unfollowed them within ten minutes of news breaking, therefore they must condone the bad thingโ mindset is a real jabroni that assumes we all live on social media exclusively.
Stop it, bruh.
be put on a pedastal or told youโre good. This has lead to a lot of callouts being false, based on personal spats that get dragged into public and even people splitting hairs on pretty much every kink to make it problematic so it can be called out too.
Iโm not a religious person, but today an angel that walked among us earned his wings. I hope that heโs able to rest easy knowing he was loved and can continue to inspire and guide us all with love, warmth, compassion and kindness.
Callouts used to be viewed as a way to warn people about dangerous individuals who may be a harm to themselves or others which, while noble, has led us down a slippery slope thatโs escalated into a very toxic mentality. Weโve praised people and cheered them on for this, weโve
You can justify yourself as much as you need to if it helps you sleep at night, but itโs never acceptable to cheat. It doesnโt matter what lies you tel your pals, you still cheated and your SO will bare that heavy burden the rest of their life and suffer because of it.
Made people heroes over it and glorified those who have spoken up. But an indirect result of this is that itโs incentivized people to seek that validation and yes, clout, by any means necessary. Everyone wants to be the first to call out a bad person because it feels good to
Also because this uh...got way more attention than I expected, I just wanna say Iโm not saying traditional art is easy either! Both mediums have their challenges and neither is easy work! Both takes a lot of time and practice!
What I can say though, is that maybe we should reevaluate how we treat callouts. Ask yourself why youโre digging up someoneโs ten year old receipts? Do you get enjoyment out of watching people โburnโ? Do you queue up a popcorn gif when you see drama on your feed?
If so, maybe itโs time to step back and take a break from Twitter. Letโs not glorify callouts, maybe we could accept more apologies when people give them? Maybe we could just unfollow people who say stuff we disagree with instead of putting them on blast?
Idk whatโs going on with people in the fandom lately but Iโm not a huge fan of using faux moral grandstanding to justify the harassment and demand for censorship in spaces made for and by adults. It not anyoneโs job to make you โcomfyโ;curating your online experience is on you.
If I had known it would go beyond maybe like, 10 people on my timeline faving it, I would have totally held onto a source. If anyone DOES know where it came from, hit me up so I can give credit where itโs due!
Congrats to
@SyberWuff
and
@SpazzFox
on tying the knot ๐ ! It was a beautiful wedding and Iโm so honored I was able to be there for you both on your special day! I canโt wait to see the wonderful things you both accomplish on the journey of life together!! โค๏ธ
Iโm so, so very sorry to ask for help but I really donโt know what else to do. Even if I fight this, the money will not be returned until the case is closed, which can take months.
Any help is appreciated
Thread:
It wasnโt always this way. Thatโs not me saying it was better when we ignored pedos,zoos, etc, but rather this Was community that didnโt exist to devour each. Just people wanting to play animal characters online and draw. Itโs great we can remove those bad types but weโve dashed
They're Finally Ready! The "Not Your Lunch" Deer pins are up for Preorder on my store RIGHT NOW! There will be a limited quantity so grab em while they're hot!

I know this is a long thread and Iโm sorry it doesnโt have a clear cut answer to how to deal with this; I by no means want marginalized groups to stop speaking up nor do I want dangerous people to get brushed aside. All I do know is we canโt continue like this, for anyoneโs sake.
Past a very serious line. Regardless if youโre someone who likes callouts or not, surely we can agree that thereโs just so many, all the time and immersing yourself in it is not healthy for your wellbeing in any way and spreads toxicity?
I donโt know how to set a clear distinction on this either, I donโt have an answer. Because I canโt say โitโs either all of it, or none of itโ;Callouts against genuinely dangerous people are necessary, but when โbadโ is so subjective how can anyone draw that line?Itโs complicated
Know I said that I donโt like callouts but Iโm gonna do one last one.
Iโm calling you, the person reading this, out. You are accused of being cute, valid and appreciated and you canโt change my mind. Iโm sorry, thatโs how it goes.
Just reading some of the replies to this shows what Iโm talking about. The pain one goes through after being cheated on is so damaging that it effects people for the rest of their lives and for many, makes them unable to trust fully (if at all) ever again. Itโs heart wrenching.
Finally finished this! Something I did in between other work to practice new techniques, perspective and anatomy.
I've been feeling like my art is stale lately and really wanted to push myself! I almost always use Vic these days for personal art <3
Please donโt commission this person; They have a tendency to heavily trace/โreferenceโ other peopleโs art. Even their profile picture is a trace of work done by Irisbdz on instagram and others.
