Weasyl Exodus concerns
13 years ago
General
ever since i first heard about Weasyl last month i've been noticing a mass exodus on FA of people switching over to the sleek new site XD which i have to admit, is definitely appealing =D
however most of the people switching are people who are
A: trying to expand their commission sales market (and reputation too, getting better exposure)
B: trying to escape all the drama and general douchebaggery that the Furry Community is so well known for, at least on FA
or C: trying to expand their own unique fandom on another site
all 3 types are valid reasons to switch =D but for the people leaving to escape all the shit that goes on here, i don't think you'll be escaping much anymore...considering just about everybody HERE are now making accounts on Weasyl O.O and with that exodus all the popufur drama and such goes with it >.<
that is why, even though i want to spread my plane porn to another site (a type C reason to switch >:3) AND want to escape all the shit on this site (type B) i will stay on FA until i get banned or something, cuz i'm sure all the people who are switching will eventually make Weasyl their main site once it really starts to get going, and unfortunately it'll probably turn into the new FA; a site full of Furry D-bags who breed drama and take pleasure in annoying/trolling other people simply cuz they feel entitled to special treatment cuz their art is good.
if i ever make a move away from FA it'll probably be to a public access site, like E621 or Rule 34, one where special interests aren't really as big as they are on FA. all type B people wanting to leave FA should also consider those two sites before switching to Weasyl

And is there an ability to comment artworks? If no (as I've seen some time ago), then meh, for an artist like me, without this esssential option... it's a completely worthless site xD
but i've noticed that the trolls on FA will leave you alone more if your art is good XD which really shows how much of a jackass they all are XD
plus i love how Furries who draw some of the most fucked up, disgusting unrealistic shit on the planet have the nerve to look at my plane porn and go "WTF is this shit!?" yeah, last time i checked drawing anthro animals with inflated balls eating shit from Fluttershy's ass was a lot more fucked up than plane porn O.O
yeah, all those Furry trolls can kiss my massive DC-9 asshole
=3
Actually don't think I've been attacked on this website, which is an honest surprise, considering furry aircraft art is so "omg WTF eww" among the masses. All I can think of is that I draw anthros almost exclusively as opposed to regular.
it cuz your art is good, and they're in anthro form like you said XD Furry Trolls only attack people who differ from their own social norms as well as draw slightly worse than artists like Narse or something >.<
consider yourself lucky! though i've dealt with (and got banned) so many trolls here i actually consider it a fun challenge every time i get one XD its like a game "toy with them until they get banned/blocked >:3)
I've had problems with a few people on DA. But here nothing. It probably is because of my anthro style, though I don't really consider my art so good.
well its good enough to ward off trolls! lol
Man I miss the days where we all talked and drew together. It just died so fast :(
heh totally agree XD at least we have a few good years (i think the living airplane community really peaked in 2010, been shrinking for the most part ever since >.<)
but yeah, i know what you mean >.< its a shame really, was hoping living airplanes were gonna be the next big thing! (but instead that became *gulp* MLP...lol) but what can you do, i'll keep drawing them in different weird situations XD my living airplanes were always human analogs (to a certian extent) so yeah, will always be able to mess around with them XD
