Juuust in case
7 years ago
Due to some developments (that I will mention below) I am going to ask that my followers here consider watching/following my profiles on other sites:
InkBunny: https://inkbunny.net/Mancoin
DeviantART: https://mancoin.deviantart.com/
Website: https://foxyverse.com/
You may even consider my slightly less active spots:
SoFurry: https://mancoin.sofurry.com/
Weasyl: https://www.weasyl.com/~mancoin
Twitter: https://twitter.com/Foxyverse
Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr.....UGbxY4QgKXVEeg (I have yet to reach 100 subs to have a custom URL... one day maybe :D)
Now why would I suddenly bring this up?
You may say it's a clear over-reaction, you may say "well maybe you're just a horrible person"
But the recent developments on FurAffinity have been appalling, to keep it brief.
"Nazi" witch-hunts, lack of transparency and a feedback-loop... Bleh.
To be clear, I am not a nazi... but it seems that at this moment that doesn't matter, because anyone who disagrees with the far left is branded with a cute little swastika. People who aren't the least bit nazi are being targeted, sometimes it seems even through "Guilt by association" or "Guilt by speaking to". And it seems that right now FA is run by far-left ideology.
And that makes me think I can easily be caught in the crossfire.
- I lean conservative in beliefs, which seems to be a horrible sin nowadays.
- I am against the fascist terrorists called "AntiFA", which seem to be loved by FurAffinity
- I am against forceful silencing of people, even legit nazis, which seems to be an unpopular belief. (Hell "punch a Nazi" is a thing, that's even worse)
- I am against communism and socialism, which seem to be the left's sweethearts.
- I follow and generally agree with some people who speak wise words, but have been branded as nazis (Hello David Lillie)
- I even believe the US and the world dodged a bullet by picking Trump (Man, this is probably reason enough to have me hanged, right?)
Really, I think the only reason I'm still here with all this " #ProofOfNazi " is because I'm basically a nobody who doesn't talk much about politics etc.
But I guess now that this is up I may become very incompatible with the community of FurAffinity. Oh well... you can only be silent for so long. And silence will not make things get better.
I hope this doesn't upset any of my followers, but I'm sure there might be some that will be. I also realize that bringing this up may even prompt people to unwatch/unfollow, instead of following on other platforms. However, it's something that can not be avoided as every decision has consequences - and deciding to keep quiet might just end up eating me from the inside.
Sorry to those who are upset by this and I hope that even if you disagree with what I think that we can live peacefully under terms of "agree to disagree".
Hope you all have a wonderful day.

And yet I can't leave because fans haven't done anything wrong to me! Sorta would be sad to just up and leave the few I have.
So I guess reminding them that they can find me on other platforms is what I can do
I would love to not be at all into politics, but sometimes patience runs out, you know.
On my end, it just disgusts me, so I can no longer sit silently.
It would be nice if things became better, but I fear it's not going to happen.
SO
I'ma tryin to branch out stronger into other sites, just in case something happens here.
Really? They labelled David Lillie as a nazi? XD
Hopefully this "nazis everywhere" witch-hunt fad will blow over soon so people can get back to their lives. Whatever. Ill just sue FA if im removed for political discrimination and slander
Unfortunately, I don't think the witch-hunt is at any stage of slowing down.
I don't feel like I can leave FA just upright, as I don't want to leave the few fans I have. Best I can do is give people information on where to find me if something happens and stand my ground.
I am not a big resistance fighter, but I guess I will still stand some ground
I'm starting to look at Furiffic as a new potential alternate gallery. I've been on FA since forever, and it's kind of my internet home now, and I'd hate to leave it, but I don't think the ideologues will give me much of a choice.
I do like Furiffic's upload policy. It's more in line with FA/Weasyl, and not like IB's.
-^__^-
Can I re-roll on this one? Ugh, they're everywhere.
"Well, judging by the position of the sun and the moon in the sky, they're at the bottom of the ocean. I bit lots of holes in them."
But I can't really stay silent, patience runs out. So I can just put up information for other sites and hope for the best.
I actually tried out FurryNetwork, but it never "clicked" with me.
i mean you post art. take commissions. maybe browse once in a while.
but unless you actively go searching for it your not going to run into anything.
just block users that say stuff like this to you, they are the loud minority.
dont mean to sound blunt about it but goodness.
The issue isn't that people are harassing someone, that, indeed, is easily remedied with a block. It's when the loud minority inhabit the site owners/moderators and, well, you can't really "block" being banned for being "not compatible" with the FA community.
And I guess it helps that some people I admire are running into this adorable "nazi" dilemma when all they are - people with common sense.
I don't blame you for not really agreeing with me on this, there is never a 100% agreement unless it's in a very artificial echo-chamber.
I do thank you for stating your view in a civil manner ^^
sneaky sneaky. and all that jazz. let everything blow over and move on! o3o
