Why I still use FA
5 years ago
Scribbling nonsense all across the board like jaguars leaping from trees of leather bodices encasing aged withered corpses whose eyes dazzle with the light of one million and three silver satellites flying over Los Angeles hiding illegal immigrants from Irish potato farms built atop the golden ruins of El Dorado filled with demonic Ewoks hurling tremendous tankards of tons of Tylenol at the panda bear ninjas that hide around every corner of the magic square building trying desperately to pull up its skirt and set roots on another cubic square inch of the board upon which I am scribbling nonsense.
In light of last night I feel it's necessary to discuss this to some extent.
I am very aware that FurAffinity is a rather lackluster and unreliable website to use for uploading art in a number of ways.
I am also aware that there is a great deal of shadiness behind the scenes.
I don't want to excuse any of that.
But the fact of the matter is that this is the only site where I have any amount of traction. I hear people talking about just leaving like it's no big deal, but that's not something I can just do at the drop of a hat. Any time I've tried branching out to another website, my account always ends up stagnating and nothing comes of it.
Worse still because everyone came to the cosmic brain decision that the hot new place to go to is Twitter, an absolute hellhole website that I would argue is even worse to use as a repository for art, even if it weren't for the swarms of reactionary piranhas ready to tear you to shreds at a moment's notice, and I can't even use it for writing at all.
I've frankly grown to despise the snobbish attitude of people who make a big deal about how they put FA behind them, as if the new places they've gone to are so much better, as if it's so easy for anyone to do the same. It always feels like an implicit indictment of me for not following that trend, as if I haven't been trying to put myself out there to no avail for years now.
So yes, I'm going to continue to use this site for as long as I possibly can, be it until I finally have some other place I can call home or until the coding falls apart at the seams.

I can't trust Tumblr because the porn ban is still there as far as I can tell, and the politics are not worth it. I can't go to facebook because my family uses it and doesn't know of my furry stuff. I can't go to Twitter because it's the literal worst. I can't use Instagram because it's just facebook, and Mastodon ain't gettin' big any time soon.
