(This will be longer than my usual rambles, as it's kind of compiling a number of subjects down into one.
I did consider giving this a second proofread, but upon further thought: It would honestly be pointless. Most have already made up their mind's prematurely, and I've had it with way too many things in the fandom, in particular: The hypocrisy/bigotry.)


I did some pondering the other day while going over my current projects.
I am well aware that I've had propaganda, lies, slander and gaslighting done towards me for years. But, I am kinda curious on how effective it has been.
People people I've seen, at least that come from "popufurs" just swallow anything they are told hook, line and sinker. Because, that's what they've been taught to do and all that.

But, looking at it from a wide perspective. How much impact has it had, really?
To be a bit cliché, I wanna have some introspection over my "legacy" so to speak.
In particular, over the pony fandom. As I've been there from the start. And quite proud to say I've been a minor player within it. Even been instrumental to some events in it. Many of which I'm sure would have happened eventually anyhow. Certainly not all. But regardless: Was kinda neat to be there at the inception :P


So, it does honestly tick me off quite a bit how a large chunk of the current "top tier" artists in the pony fandom, but also parts of the furry one, was riding my coattails, in addition to smearing me right off the bat after exploiting my fame for their gains.
And yeah, I am well aware that my popularity took a fast and heavy dive once I started opposing the "establishment/status quo" and became a whistle-blower.
Jebus fuck is that one of the worst things you can do it turns out. (Just look at Snowden and Manning. And comparatively, all I did was expose fraud over online art...)

Trailing off here. While that's iconic for me, that's kinda more "ubisoft iconic", IE: not a good iconic xD
I do try to work on it, but, ain't going all that grand heh.
I think the most frustrating part was the complete lack of regard for facts, or the truth. Regardless of how much I utterly decimated someone. All people cared about, was who was the most famous of the two arguing, and sided with them.

I mean heck; Several of the people I've exposed over the years, their main tactic of countermeasures has basically been to use "YOUR MOM!" as an actual attempt at an argument, and thought they were nailing it. And desperately pleading to their fans to "Not read what I say! Because... reasons!".
While the only evidence they provide on their side is deflections and moving the goalpost. Never having anything of substance to bring up.


Not to mention the projecting. Like, holy shit do these guys project!
Most notably: Trying to slander me by pointing out I find the female genitalia sexually attractive, not exclusively the male. Referring to that I one time had a hyper pussy drawn. (I think in total, it's been like... ~6 times or so?) And how I "can't fap unless it's like that!". Whereas if we look at the evidence... I have a PLETHORA of different vulvae in my repertoire. They obsess exclusively over the "loli vag", DEMANDING that it's the ONLY vag that should be allowed to be shown in porn. Atop that, almost every single penis in their gallery is hyper...and they, there too: obsess over that each penis HAS to match the animal's species. And if that wasn't enough, these people have openly bullied and harassed people that don't "draw it correctly", while hypocritically claiming that "all artists have a right to their own style". But, turns out that's only true if you share their niche, obsessive fetish, and don't try to break the status quo.
->
Whereas my main message even has been "draw whatever the fuck you want. Just try not to half-ass too much. And DON'T lie about your work." to summarize it. But no, this was apparently unacceptable to the establishment. Lying "is just how the market works", and it was incredibly "rude" of me to try and get rid of dishonest advertisement, among other things. Since, that directly negatively affected them.
How does it not remotely bother the fans of these artists, that the artists REFUSE to be treated the same way they DEMAND to be allowed to treat others?
I mean, some of them have even openly stated that they'd never purchase their own art. As they think it's way overpriced and far too slapdash. Yet... they are totally fine with selling it?

Despite a 100 % confirmed rate of falsely advertised/fraud folios. (In the top tier of famous artists. Ever since the first "hooves and holly" scam.) At least every single (major) one from the first, up to the end of 2016. I have heard rumors that some actually honest folios have been released in 2017, against all odds. But, that aside: People still blindly purchase folios, say they thought they were shit or "eh", then immediately pre-orders the next one.
This comic pretty much sums it up, so I don't have to ramble about it: http://www.dorkly.com/post/65536/ho.....thing-was-born
To use H&H as a fine example: I blatantly lied about having "100 % pinups", winding up at around 20 % in the end. Atop that, they sold a censored demo as the "real" version, with quick, shoddy edits. Then hid the actual art behind a "deluxe edition". And refused to give refunds because "we already got your money, not our problem any more!".
Especially doesn't help with the "moving the goalpost" culture of "They've never done that! - Yes they have. - Oh, um well... stop living in the past, they haven't done it THIS year. - Yes they have. Erh... this month! - Did it. - Merh... this week! - Just did. - I... uh... well you don't HAVE to buy it! Some people enjoy being ripped off!" . There's more dodges than a rogue using evasion...



And to shake my cane: Back in my day, if you paid ex: 100 $ for a commission, you got 100 $ worth of work. (comparatively ofc.) Or well... you didn't if you purchased a female from like, 8/10 people. (Heck, the average ratio I've seen is 30 seconds vs 7 minutes. That a difference of 1400 %. And I've seen several ones that reach up to 30 seconds vs 4 hours. That's literally 48000 %,and people just go "... yeah that's fine." despite, you know: Throwing a riot if someone can't draw better dicks than pussies, or if an artist refuse to draw a hyper/animal dick, or a futa. Or if the time ratio is higher on females than males. Then it's suddenly unacceptable discrimination. Those guys really got firm values and beliefs.)
While that is still true nowadays. We also have "YCH" animations. As; especially notable by a recent hack animator that sprung up. Where if you purchase from them, and you pick the female character. Roughly 30 % of your payment goes towards paying for the male characters additional work. Cuz, "They think it's unfair that males should have to pay more, just because they get more options and effort put into their character."
What I find the most baffling about that, is how literally ALL of their fans I talked to, said they would REFUSE to purchase art from this animator, if they had the opposite as their policy. (Ie: Refuse to give males a choice in genitalia, all males get a shota penis. And males are forbidden to climax. While if you have a female char, you can chose ANY size and design of genitalia, and get to cum inside, outside, or both, for no extra charge.
Like... I know common sense is so rare it's a goddamn superpower. But how the fuck do those people fail to even do the most basic, rudimentary "Hm... I wouldn't like if it that happened to me."? It's literally just "Is it directly negatively affecting me this second? Not? Then whee! Fuck it!" I've even had people tell me they are envious of me, for not having to do the hard choice of having to be forced to chose what genitalia and sexual orientation/demeanour to give their dude character. They'd NEVER want to be in my shoes. As, they NEED to be able to choose. But like, they are totes jelly that I'm relived of having to make those choices. I'm so lucky. They'd never wana get the same treatment, but... you know.... stuff.

And speaking of which: When it comes to the propaganda, it just saddens me. When I ask most people that hate on me: "why?", most just stand there strumming their lips.
It's like asking most people why they they only find loli vag acceptable. It's almost always either a "Uh...", "Because I'm supposed to?", "Isn't that how all women look like?", "That's what I was taught/told to like." or "There's other designs?"
I'm fine with people hating on me for one reason or another, jealousy, rage, spite or what have you. The ones that tick me off however, are the ones that have no clue of "why". They just do it cuz they were told by their senpai. At best, I tend to get a "Cuz... you're rude?" Like, wow. That's descriptive. And the fact they praise their favourite artists for that same trait makes that even more weaksauce... like oh, I'm not famous enough to be allowed to not use silk gloves. That's nice.


Heck, people are even using me as an out for when they painted themselves into a corner, or simply fucked up beyond recovery.
Just go "Satch did it!" or "It's Satch, ignore them!" and you get a free pass on almost anything.
Drew two left hands? No problem, just say "It's my style" and tell any critics that "they must be able to draw better than you in order to be allowed to give feedback.", oh, and ofc: claim that "It was Satch", which totes makes any critique invalid.
Don't wana draw ex: Black women? No problem either. Just say it's your preference to rather draw "normal, attractive women". If anyone objects, just say it's Satch obsessing over her fetishes again. And if it's more than one, just keep blocking people and say it's Satch making multiple accounts to harass you. Works like a charm.
Like, seriously people... HOW are these things people find reasonable? At what point does something actually become enough? Is there even a point where people start to care about facts and/or the truth? Or is it just identity politics all the way?
Most of these guys do everything they accuse me of doing, but worse. (as in: doing a more bad iteration of it. Not being less good at doing it.)

And heck, the only reason I took on the "vagina expert" title was originally satirically. As, if people try to throw dirt at me, by pointing out I'm superior to them in ever regard when it comes to female genital anatomy... have at it hoss! I really didn't see why it's such a horrible crime to actually be competent at female anatomy. Then, that that attempt to ridicule how stupid it was turned out to be a factual truth... then the whole thing just became kinda sad. I even tried to exaggerate how retarded it was that I. An author/animator, was one of the top experts at female genitalia in over 3 fandoms. I mean: Ffs...
->
I know examples has never been my strong suit. But it's as if we have all these top athletes. And I sign up for a marathon alongside them, just out of a principal. And then I win. Because none of the other fucks cba to even be there on time, or at the same date. So, I get first place, on the technicality that no-one else participated. And then, said people that were too lazy to even show up, try to mock me over the fact I bothered to show up, and wound up winning! Or, I guess a baking contest would've been a better example. As, like pointed out: It then turns out many of these guys don't even know the basics of baking. Like, they can make a 12 course meal. But, they have no idea how to boil water. Or knead dough. And they try to make fun of me for being able to do those things?
->
Dudes, the ENTIRE POINT of effortlessly getting dubbed the "top expert" of several sites, was to point out how stupid that even was. I am many things. A critic, a whistle-blower, a role-player, a gamer, an animator, an author, a prodigy. But what I am NOT, is an artist.
Which was the entire point over the flag waving. WHY and HOW could I just waltz in and smear the floor with ~9/10 "top artists" , just have them either yield, cower and/or flee as "they can't compete with that!"?
->
Again, kinda feels like I'm entering the pokemon league with a level 12 Bidoof and winning. Blowing the minds of the champions with things like "Holy shit! Pokemon can learn MOVES?!" or "Wait, you can HEAL your pokemans?"
It's not exactly like I've taken on such a snarky, sassy and pessimist demeanour on a random whim.
It doesn't help either that, despite that I've never asked for much. Yet have given the fandom years of free time, dedication and support. Many have dedicated equally similar time to defame and sabotage anything I've held interest in within said fandoms. Even starting propaganda outlets. Or w/e to call it. Even successfully so. Undermining close to everything I have done. Pretty much doing a reverse Columbus on me...
->
And yeah, as said: If that wasn't enough. In return, people that have acted like prime bullies, more rude and arrogant than I could even dream off. They in turn for cutting corners, lying, swindling, harassing and exploiting people. Get: A international "genderswap and mock Twilight for being female" day. Was able to trick their fans into giving them one grand for "reasons", or can openly call their fans "too stupid to have a standard", and have their fans defend them for "being honest", while bawling at me how insensitive it is for me to even consider doing something like that. Like, it's okay for Senpai to mock their idiocy. But I'm not even allowed to mention anything that could question their unwarranted devotion to their dear leader...



It's more than a little insulting to be used as a scapegoat once I finished "serving my purpose".
Heck, some even stole some of my ideas, claiming it was their own, or contributed them to someone else. Look, I don't mind if you use my ideas. But at LEAST give credit for it. Or; Not try to take it for yourself.
Just because it's easy to make up lies, and have gullible sheep swallow them whole when it comes to me: Why this obsessive need to spread slander and propaganda? Ruin anything I pour my heart into. How in the flying fuck did people manage to convince others that I'm the bully, when they do nothing but gang up on, and harass me?
I mean, jebus fuck! I prove without the shadow of a doubt someone did something shitty. They try to deflect, obfuscate and use personal attacks. And, when caught red handed, all they do is just go "Well... you're mean!" and all their followers just drool and then nod, going "Yeah, that seems reasonable!". Ffs, if I had someone pinned for ex: assault and armed robbery. They could get off scot free in the court by starting to sniffle and go "She yelled at me!". As there's apparently no worse crime than offending someone's feelings in today's day and age. And whistle-blowing about crimes, are ten times worse than the crimes themselves.

I could take several more jabs at the political system and whatnot. But, fuck it.
Ranting about it really does nothing. You already have the people too thick/ignorant to understand, or even wanting to learn the truth. That will throw a fit about whatever I say, without even reading it. Then you got people that just shrug at it. Until personally directly affected. And then you got people that are already aware about it. Many of which just get sick and tired of the fact that I have to bring up this bs time and again. Starting to get annoyed at me, rather than those that keep doing it.
I honestly didn't even know of the anchoring effect (or several others) before I joined this fandom. But holy cabbage has it shown it's teeth...


And sure, I am well aware that I am not perfect. And unlike certain hacks, I'm not afraid to point out and/or acknowledge my flaws. Not just wave them off, or claim I can TOTES do X. Just that I uh... can't show me doing X, because... reasons. I've had some progress with some of them, but walls of text keeps being one that hampers me.
As for my "arrogance" of not being super fucking humble, and merely being "only humble", and not 107 % of the time: That kinda comes from continually almost always being right. And the fact most people essentially shit themselves and run off crying if they cross path with me, if they've done something wrong. Again: Not like this suddenly sprung up over night. I didn't just one day decide to get up and smear 90+ % of the "top tier" artists across the floor by being superior to them in every regard when it came to female genitalia.
I know some genuinely dislike me for being so blunt and brash about it. And especially: For using course language. But, that's kinda part of the point I am trying to get across here: WHY is it that I effortlessly could beat all these people? WHY is it that I have to keep calling these things out? And WHY do you think I use such language to bring attention to things? I'm trying to bash people across the side with a dose of reality. Sure, many of my word choices has been disastrous. But, most people that threw a tantrum over them, would have done so regardless, as I dared to insult their dear senpai. It did however get some people to dismiss them, that might otherwise have bothered to look into it. But, trail and error as they say.

Either case, I am trying to just wrap up all of my current projects, ditch the luggage and start over fresh. It is getting frustrating having to be dragged down by other people's failures, trying to tag them over onto me, primarily because I was the one that exposed them.
Heck, even had people be petty over things like: That I made the world's first animation starring Trixie. Cuz "They wanted to do that!". Like, bitch, please. It had been over 2 years since Trixie was shown to the world. Either get your thumb out your ass, or shut up.
Oh, and lastly: I don't bring up that I did a "world's first" or that I created something to gloat. It's more a sign of excitement. Or to point out it's new. As, prior to doing that, had quite a few people ask about it, or overall be confused with what it was. And, it is a bit to poke fun at people without any creativity, bragging about how creative they are for doing their #284 blowjob pic in a row xP I mean shesh, while I have good reasons for all my complaints, and legitimate reasons to be upset over many things in the fandom. If I ever became a snarky, stick in the mud. I could be a justified ass over sooo many things xD But, I actually do make sure to not be a prodigy just for the sake of it. I go over each of my ideas vigorously to make sure they actually work. And it involves a lot more than just going over dicks in a beastiary, trying to figure out which one to make hyper next xD


As a final note: Like I've always said during my 5+ years of PSA favour to the community: I will stop exposing fraud, once they stop being dishonest assholes.
Just like how I will stop calling publishers on their BS, fee to pay micro-transactions, along with false marketing all the same.
Or heck, even politicians that keep flip-flopping on issues, and trying to deflect issues.

I'll stop when you stop. I will just say that your priorities are really skewed if you only go after the top, or symptoms of a problem, rather than trying to go after the cancerous root of it.
