Inkbunny

Ouch. That's terrible. Well as a someone who enjoys furry and cub art, i learned to separate politics and lewds. I dont HAVE to agree with everything someone says and i dont need to be outraged... I wish more people would do that but people seem a bit more politic crazy these days.

That said. No one is perfect, especially not me. Lol.

I am curious what the character was. I bet it was a cutie. XD

I think really it isn't even political, the motivation behind the behaviour is simply resentful spite and a will to abuse language and authority to mess with other people's lives. With a big political banner on the front of it to pretend like disgusting behaviour has an important cause behind it. But what cause worth fighting for is served by cowardly means? I say none.

You make a solid point. It really does seem like people using politics to try to get their way via spite.

Now me. I want some fox butt lol

That is the furry fandom lately for you :S I actually feel dissapointed by those who, being into the 'most despicable of kinks' according to the social justice movement, they try so hard to be one of those by calling others out, in a feeble attempt to fit in a movement that will kick them out sooner or later because of what they like.

I really hope these things wouldn't affect Inkbunny, but they do o.o

You and

Stripes

have my full and unconditional support. I know you both in person, and I know you're good people. That's what really matters to me.

As for ... too much swearing censorship here? Really? wow :o Sorry to hear that too >_<

Thank you SO much! That's very sweet of you, and your support is much appreciated :3

Despite everything I still think InkBunny is one of the friendliest sites I'm part of. Every fandom has its share of people like this, its not easy to escape, though InkBunny's culture seems to contain the more accepting portion of it.

Either way, thank you again for your kind words ^^

I'm sorry some people are upset that your helping distribute a product with roary art on it but I proud of you for being professional throughout and keeping things simple.

That last visible line from Roarey's screencap from you: "I don't get involved in politics, I just make art and help others with theirs."
Fuck me, I could kiss you irl for that. If the furry fandom was all people like this, it would actually be what the folks making those lame attempts at furry 'memes' whining about the haters make it out to be.

You are a gentlemen and a scholar. :)

@ Ameinias

No, because we believe in free speech. It's sad for me, having known kupok for a long time as well to see how him and other cub fans around have become like this. It's not left or right anymore, it's the fucking social justice movement, which yeah, was born on the left wing. You can't be a leftist anymore without abiding to all of their 'culture', which is a shame. Very polarizing and intolerant. Hope most of them will come back to their senses and learn that you can be leftist or right-ist without being totally intollerant to the other position.

I hope so too, problem is, sooooo many right-wings here have pretty much convinced themselves that a single leftist opinion is "Evil" and "Anti-American" which bothers me in more ways than it should (Is a Conservative but also have left-wing views as well)

Yeah, but it's hard to blame them.  I know there are many like myself who started on what one might call the "left," and without any of our personal values changing, suddenly started being treated as though we were on the "right" by everyone else claiming to be "left."  A purity spiral began, and the line delineating what values constitute "the left" contracted faster and faster.  For several years, it sure looked like it was only the "left" behaving so atrociously to everyone not in ideological lock-step, even family members, and regular people caught in a social conflict they didn't understand started getting a very reasonable knee-jerk emotional reaction.

I'm only now starting to see small pockets of moral authoritarianism from what could legitimately be called the "right" starting to appear again.  Years of being treated like dirt, and now they're hardened.  Which is exactly what many of us predicted was going to happen when the Social Justice ideology started to take over everything.

Personally I think, so long as we keep an eye on things and fight back for righteous principles everywhere we can, against whoever is behaving poorly left or right, we can prevent or mitigate the next cultural swing from being the nightmare it could become.  An advantage of so many of us former "left" folks have now is we're awake to the danger, and we're learning how to resist both sides when they go wrong.

Which brings up my next point, the fact some people successfully deluded themselves to where the argument "Both sides have some negatives" is treated as an opposition argument and is to be ignored. We basically made it to the point where any valid and logical argument is treated as an "agenda" to where you really can't express anything without someone claiming you're in the wrong. I say that because I've encountered people on both sides who are so deluded its why I became apolitical. It use to be amusing to me but now its just annoying, especially when it comes from people obsessed with politics and can't seem to mentally function without getting political.

Yeah, with 'them' I included both left and right-wingers. It's an escalating war that won't have a happy ending if it continues.

According to the left, free speech is only about what the state does, not what a company, an organisation, an individual or a website does. According to them it's not anti-free-speech if you were to ban them. So ban them.

That'd mean we'd have a bias towards the 'other side', and we're not going to take sides, but to try to keep the balance and, hopefully, the debate as civil as possible.

Not gonna lie, the way you worded parts of this got a chuckle out of me. The opening about Northern England and swearing, titty witty woo woos, and such made me smile and I always enjoy when someone can sprinkle in some light-heartedness into serious topics ^^

As for the topic itself, I agree. Its bad enough when people come after you just because they don't agree with what you have to say. That I could let go depending on the action taken, because an opinion is an opinion and not everyone is going to agree. Its when you start trying to hurt or defame someone that I start taking offense, because that person wasn't doing anything but speaking their mind. Disagreement is no reason to try and oust someone, regardless of what the opinion is.

That's speaking nothing of going after people associated with the person you disagree with. You can't rattle the person you actually have a problem with, so you go after people they know instead? That's several levels of messed up, and I'm not a proponent of that. Its an underhanded notion that's not okay, and it shows you lack a certain sense of decency.

Personally I just brush it off, its just a cheap trick so why let it get to me? Not everyone can do that, though, especially if the people coming for you are those you viewed as close. Even if you think you're doing right by it there are several other ways to go about making your point, and in a less destructive way. People have their own thoughts, feelings, and opinions and that's just how it is.

Yah the journal was initially deleted by staff who gave me a final warning because I've been so nasty to people over the years for swearing at them and calling them honest insults rather than being emotionally manipulative and dishonestly, slyly insulting people in careful language. Chances are, because I type like I talk, a working-class northern Englishman, riddled with expletives, because I'm not a university educated champagne socialist, my time on this site is likely limited. It is extremely unfortunate that in an adult site featuring porn, porn pretty much nowhere else in the fandom allows for that matter, we have the same sort of 'everybody not-staff is a baby in kindergarten who needs mommy to intervene in arguments' mentality in how it is run. I don't like reporting people for saying shitty things to me, it feels like I'm an informant for soviet secret police, only it's being played through the medium of interpretive dance on an episode of fucking Teletubbies. So if people are shite to me, I'm shite back, until one of us gets bored or we block eachother. Problem solved. However, they report me, and the staff act on it because I'm not a dishonest little weasel who tailors words so I can say awful things without saying them directly. It is absurd to me that this kind of moderation even exists in the first place, when block functions exist. But hey, a principle is a principle and one of mine is to be genuine, so I guess at some point my ten-plus years on this website are going up in smoke. Fun while it lasted XP.

Anyway, I appreciate the fuck out of you for sticking to your guns and having my silly cartoon shit on your site.

I can see being offended by swearing, though less so with using honest insults and such. If all you're doing is insulting them for being hurtful and manipulative, they should be the ones receiving warnings. At the very least if you're seen to be in the wrong anyway then you shouldn't be the only one being punished. Seems kinda backwards, you don't punish the person responding to the problem, or if you do for being involved then don't do so as harshly.

Something people often forget is that we're all adults here (I'm hoping anyway, if those underage are trying to take part that's an issue all its own) and we're all capable of acting as such. I can't speak for the staff of this site or any other, but if someone is being rude to you I feel you have the right to defend yourself even if that means being rude back. We're in a fandom that places a high priority on porn, pretty sure we left half our dignity at the door xD

Hopefully your time isn't limited. I don't know you personally, but my interactions with you have been pleasant and I will never fault someone for speaking their mind. Doesn't matter where they come from, everyone should be themselves and different places effect that in different ways. That sort of diversity can lead to unity, and that should be celebrated.

Yeah, with the block function you'd think that'd be enough. Being creative with your words is all well and good, but such tactics should be saved for when making your case to the person you have an issue with; not for going behind their back and complaining to someone of power to get your way. Back in the day blocking was just how you ended something, it meant whether right or wrong things were over. Not anymore apparently, blocking just ticks people off and they use it as an excuse to further their negative indulgences.

Thank you for that! I appreciate it x3 Thank you for standing your ground and working with me as well, both here and on the site. I find it inspiring, and look forward to future endeavors together :)

I can easily say as somebody who disagrees with almost all of the stances and opinions you've voiced: that anybody who straight up feels the need to harass you or any of your peers really is a snowflake that needs to get a thicker skin. Bashing somebody because they are acquainted with you is the most high school clique bullshit I've ever seen
