My youtube exploded and other things
2 years ago
So it seems my youtube channel has exploded recently. I went from 450 subs which took over a year and a half to 6.2k in about a month. I have had over 150k+ views in the last month alone. The growth has been nuts and I am being recognized constantly in public lobbies in furry worlds in VRChat. I... did not expect this. It's honestly a bit scary and I had to recently get consoled by a much bigger popular furry then myself on how to handle this because I am getting friend requests and random messages and even fan art out the wazoo now.
I want to make a few things clear. I never set out to get clout or fame in the fandom, nor make money. I just wanted a place where I could maybe make guides and try and help people with an occasional silly skit. I didn't intend to form any sort of community either and for that reason I am not going to do so. I do not feel comfortable monetizing my videos that have a more serious tone either, although I can't pick where superthanks end up (crappy youtube).
It's been wild, and I intend to keep making more content and pretty soon I am going to start filming for my biggest video to date. It will be almost an hour long by my estimates. I really hope it helps new budding furries everywhere.
Thank you all for the support!
Also, I learned how to sculpt my avatar recently. I have had a few people ask questions about its... shape, some going so far to question my sexuality in a Q and A section I had on a video.
I am straight. Nothing has changed. Some people were wondering why as a straight guy I have such a bottom heavy character. I like kemono style characters and little short stacks and they all go hand in hand. You also need to keep in mind that I wanted to keep a similar shape of a rikkor when I switched sonas and rikkors have large thighs. The thing is you dont really get big thighs without body fat unless you are insanely muscular and I am not going for that look at all, so I gave him a belly too, to even it out. I think it looks really cute.
I am going for a cutesy plump look. I like softness, I already made that clear, but my sonas shape in VR is more about coming across as approachable and less about my own sexual gratification or anyone elses. I don't intend to change the avatars body shape any more. Adding any more will just go from plump to just plain fat. Whilst that can also be cute, its not really my goal and I have limits. If people like *LIKE* my body shape then that's fine, and flattering, each to their own! My friend Jay added a bone on the belly so it can be squished for extra effect, thanks VRChat for adding that bone type!

It's a bit strange that so many people are really focused on your sexuality and character-body type, I hope it doesn't bother you too much.
Hope you're staying well and taking care of yourself .
