Can I be honest here?

I'm not burning any bridges. If you 'know me' (see fucked/sucked/been altered by the doctor), then you're in no danger of falling into the following rant.

_____ is the cancer that is killing fur.

See? I didn't even name names. I have in the past, mind you. And I still feel that way. Any time I see a quote "art whore" unquote being paraded about FA or (to a much lesser extent) DeviantArt, it really pangs a nerve. I'm not mad, per say. There's no one to be mad at. It sort of cascades. If I get mad at the fur being drawn, then I'm also a little mad at the artist. I'm mad at the community for commenting a bunch of big eye smiley faces and cheers of moar because another empty face got cleavage exposure.

The fact of the matter is.. people like tits. people like cock. It doesn't even matter who either bit is attatched to. These art whores that are overdrawn and senselessly popular? No other redeeming qualities. Next to no one has ever played with them, and those who claim to have have rather discriminating reviews. End result.. no one really understands why they're popular, except for the obvious. Tits and Ass.

And goodness knows that's part of the cancer killing fur. Does this special interest group even have authors? I know it does somewhere. But they are so vastly removed from everything else, it's almost difficult to group them together. What is really the point of text based role play if everyone is just jerking off to pictures anyway? I mean, really?

I am so disappointed when people put together a paragraph description and then link to a picture. You know what that tells me? You suck. You're terrible. Given the nigh infinite amount of time there is in the world, any waking hour that you're at your computer to play this silly game, the BEST you could come up with for first impressions was five lines or less. You don't even have to say a word, I know automatically that if you're too lazy to type up a decent character description then chances are you don't have a home area that's descriptive at all. Chances are, you have either a handful of morphs that contort you into different flavors of nude, dripping, sparsely detailed fuck widgets; or you have no morphs at all and summarize foreplay as "gets naked". Anything I do with you is going to be a half-literate stumbling through your heated fantasy between long pauses of slow typing, regurgitated adjectives and a vocabulary easily disassembled by a Brooklyn fifth grader. Monosyllables, slang and profanity.

And it's disgusting that these people get by. That they become -well known-. Oh, you can always count on ______ for a good time. What job, or lack there of, must a person have in order to be constantly geared for fucking? Is anyone else remotely aware and/or bewildered by how shallow these people are? These characters have no back story, they often times don't even have complete living spaces; just a bedroom to knock boots in, if that.

Seriously. People. Furs. If you want tits and ass, there is an entire internet full of porn out there. Virtually nameless pretty faces that bend, contort and jostle in plenty of creative ways. Stills, motion, audio. Everything the mushes/mucks really truly lack. And best of all, you don't have to remember their names or care about their back story. That tends to be the standard with smiling nineteen year olds wearing sperm like a Christmas tree wears tinsel, they don't need a reason to be there.. they're just young and horny. So why drag that pathetic aspect of real life into the fur world? Why even bother making empty husks of gyrating nothing for the half baked imagination slag of a poorly written sex story?

This is why I haven't been around Taps much since I brought Foxy back. Sure, I came back to a few friends and a handful of quality.. but there is next to zero new talent wading about in the public areas. It's just full of the same dime a dozen sluts that have been modeled upon the empty popular faces. Huge breasts, porn style smile.. and then what? If I want to corral those huge tits into an ongoing storyline, what does sunny bimbette have to offer me? Nothing. I truly am better off playing with myself in such cases.

I recently recreated Foxy on a new muck, a *gasp* human based muck. And you know what? People actually came to -me- with ideas they wanted done to their character. Instead of the happy bouncy slutty idiots that want me to 'surprise' them on Taps, I found characters with personality and intentions elsewhere! I have to say.. it's goddamn traumatizing. Here I thought no one was a decent story teller anymore; but it just turns out... it's furry. Or so it seems to be.

So.. yes. Rant done now.

If you don't see much of me on Taps, it's because I'm having more fun elsewhere.

But again.. I like my friends. Rare as we are to connect at the same times, my watchfor list is mostly full with those I enjoy consorting with on a regular basis. I'm just saying... I'm starved for -writing- talent. We've got some awesome artists around, but holy fuck do we need more writers. And in turn, better role players.

Chances are, half the famous faces you recognize in furry art either couldn't RP their way out of a paper bag, or have never RPed at all. Stop idolizing things that have accomplished nothing.
