Playing a new MW5 campaign, working my way up to Dragon's Gambit! Starting at ~8 PM CST

Fuck. I feel older than I am as it is. I really need this "time" thing to chill the fuck out already...

So I'm not going to drone on - my bank keeps trying to fuck me over by hiding transactions and I'm at risk of getting overdrawn by multiple transactions AGAIN. I already lost almost a hundred dollars to them from my last paycheck, and they fucked me up thinking Friday was a pay day when it isn't for another week.

So, I'm offering my 3d printing services. SFW or NSFW, but I specialize in miniatures and small statues. I have a plethora of 3d files for all sorts of things, so please hit me up if you're down and we can negotiate pricing.

You can hit me up on my Telegram at
Kepora or discord at Willcoon, or PM me here (responses will be slower)

Let's try starting a career mode AGAIN - and WITHOUT blowing ourselves up into bankruptcy!

https://www.twitch.tv/stripeybuttwill

Got the day off, so gonna try to do MW5 all day! I'll let the stream decide if I start fresh, and if I should do the campaign or career mode!

https://www.twitch.tv/stripeybuttwill

Time for some stompy bots! Gonna start a fresh career mode with the release of Rise of Rasalhague!

Some cocksucker ended up getting their channel nuked and everyone's accounts with it so I got a new Discord, toss me your handles here or DM them to me if ya want me to add ya

So Stellaris is having some troubles, one of my mods is preventing empires from expanding which makes the game...frankly boring.

Taking a quick break, then gonna move on to Overwatch, Mechwarrior, or maybe even something else within the next half hour!

https://www.twitch.tv/stripeybuttwill

Gonna do some SPACE GNOLLS in Stellaris in about 10 or so minutes!

First attempt was a bit of a disaster with multiple merc units falling apart. Will stream 2 turn out better? Or will there be more senseless destruction and explosions on my part again?

Starting at 9 PM CST!

So I'm totally a huge fan of Beastars already, having seen the two episodes out so far and read the manga as far as it's been translated. Seems I'm not the only one, as there's already 3D models available for printing of Legosi and Louis:

https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rRKwxL

Problem is, I lack a 3D printer.

I'm looking for someone out there I could commission to print one or both of these fellas for me, preferably in a material that's friendly to paint. If resin is an option, even better! And if you like them, too, I'd be more than happy to paint copies for whoever could print them as well!

My grandma's dead, one of my sisters is out of the house, the other's addicted to her Mac and would rather spend time on there than with me, and my RL best friends are out of state. Trying to decide if I wanna eat out and see Joker by myself or just go home after work.

So, the recent shit with Kero and seeing how many vocal rational people seem to be leaving the 'fandom' as a whole lately has been getting me thinking. I've been a vocal opponent of people who baselessly bash on furries and such for the longest time, and I've sought to try and be a good example to people outside of it. To take it upon myself to not act like a teenager in high school, or someone so sensitive that they can't handle criticism or have a serious conversation about touchy matters. One such example of this was years ago in Second Life, where - in a Star Wars RP community - I went to bat for a group of Amaran (Extended Universe fox people) players who were basically being trolled and shat on every day. The people I spoke to told me that I was the first one of that group (despite being the newest member there) who'd even tried to sit down and just talk to them to work things out. And in all fairness, I saw how big of a dick the rest of the Amaran players were being to them to deserve that treatment. Thing is, the conversation was had, and a lot of the animosity cleared up. Simple as that. it was tough and unpleasant - but in the end, everyone was better for it.

Fast forward to now. It seems no one is capable - let alone willing - to have conversations any more. If you have an opposing viewpoint and you don't change immediately on any grounds other than "I said so", you're labelled a bigot, Nazi, Russian bot, and whatever mixture of -phobe and -ist that the person can string together. We have people dragging identity politics and Tumblr-tier gender shit into the community in staggering amounts. We have actual, literal communists. He have actual zoophiles who rape actual animals.

And we, as a community, need to do something - and we need to do it soon.

What do we do, though? That's a question I've been asking myself for a long time now. What can we do? I think, to answer that, we need to look at how we got here.

I've always viewed the community from my earlier days (I joined Furaffinity back in December of 2006; 12 years ago, only a few months into being 18 at the time) as a sort of...'refuge' for like-minded individuals, both in regards to our shared interest in anthropomorphic characters and in regards to largely being social outcasts. The community always had a feeling of "letting things slide" and "letting people be themselves", which in of itself is not a bad thing. However, I think it sowed the seeds of what we see today. I think that the concept has been perverted over time, from just trying to be nice to each other to any criticism whatsoever being seen as bullying and a personal assault on the individual, with no room whatsoever for a middle ground, nuance, nothing. It's turned into a "if you're not 100% in agreeance with me then you're a horrible piece of shit" mentality. The idea that people don't have to grow up and change at all has been fomented in the community for the longest time, and now even others my age are on the same emotional level as the high schoolers and such who join the community every year.

This needs to stop.

We - as a community - need to mature, I think. not in the sexual way, but in the social and mental way. Yes, some of us have mental illnesses and conditions, myself being one of them. But instead of trying to find ways to cope and improve, it ends up being a shield and an excuse because of this "you don't have to change" mentality. We let shitty, impetuous behavior slide online and outright degeneracy to unfold in the public eye because of this (con goers who go around fucking even though they have HIV, people who fucking dry hump each other in hotel lobbies or jack off in the elevators, etc). People in this fandom are emotionally stunted (and I'm not declaring any innocence on my part, either. I'm 30, and I still have things to learn), and I think we - as a whole - need a wake-up call.

We need to grow up.
We need to mature.
We need to change.

But we need a plan.

Unfortunately, this is where I run into a road block - and where I turn to all of you for help. If a group were to form in the fandom to try and 'clean up' it's image - combat the childish behavior and the degeneracy that happens at cons - how would you go about it? What measures would you implement? How would you handle problem people who refuse to change, or people like Kero who go too far? How would you achieve this without totalitarian measures? I ask because - quite frankly - things are getting bad, and I'm having a hard time thinking of alternatives to literal gatekeepers to the community.

What are your thoughts?

Got the balding, the beer gut, nostalgic about old music and games and such, and I'm 30. Fuck.

Seriously, Dragoneer?

"At this time, we could not find enough evidence to consider Antifa a hate group and what was provided appeared to be of false-equivalence. There has been voiced concern about their operations on Fur Affinity and we have and will continue to monitor and take action against any user who promotes or encourages illegal activites and violence on our website as per our rules. Concerning the Alt-Left, there is no evidence one exists, and the Alt-Light or New Right has specifically distanced themselves from the Alt-Right and openly rejected hate and identity politics."

At this time, we could not find enough evidence to consider Antifa a hate group

So I guess openly calling people to violence, shoving over the elderly, throwing bricks into crowds, and cracking people over the skulls with bike locks aren't good enough to make you a hate or terrorist group.

Concerning the Alt-Left, there is no evidence one exists

YES THERE IS. The shit you're doing right now is evidence of it. It's called Social Justice, and you're bending the knee to it.

Today's idiot day on Overwatch, so changing gears. Going to play Total War: Warhammer 2 with my RL best friend instead. Starting at 1PM Central time!

https://www.twitch.tv/stripeybuttwill/

Just in case anyone gives a damn and wants to chat or whatever. Also considering hosting a couple of RPGs as well, the Star Wars and Genesys games by Fantasy Flight Games. Don't be a douche, don't cause drama.

I just bought my local store's last copy of the old Dark Vengeance box set. It's Dark Angels miniatures - a complete space marine squad, a squad of three bikers, a squad of five Deathwing Terminators, a Librarian (Psyker), and a Captain in power armor. If anyone is interested in them, I'm looking to sell them - or even trade for art. Additionally, for extra, I can assemble and even convert (customize) them to your liking! Just hit me up with an offer. :)

And I'm celebrating it with thinning hair and muscle spasms in my lower back (or a pinched nerve, hope to find out tomorrow). Oh, and Tom Petty dying. Looking fantadtic already. @_@

Skunk boy held by tentacles, one wrapped around his penis and another lining up, ready to sound him. >3> Anyone have it?

...feeling rather depressed now. I was on Second Life, exploring the sims around my home one, and I came across a parcel called Mousehole. Turns out the girl I still care about, Nori Ovis ( http://norimouse.tumblr.com/ ) owns/lives on said parcel. I tried to leave a small object with a note and stuff on it, but...within about half an hour, I was ejected again. Nearly a year and a half now, and just...I can’t shake it. I don’t know what I did wrong. I don’t know what I might’ve said that would’ve made her dislike me so much, and it just...it hurts so much every time I think about it. I genuinely cared for her.

...I still do, too. I just wish she’d just...tell me what happened, why things have to be like this.

My Real Life best friend has decided to try earning some extra spending money by doing writing! He mostly does stuff over on HF, and he's rather open content-wise; if you have any questions about it, direct them to him at c44365@gmail.com!

Here's a taste of something he threw together featuring my ferret twins, Samantha & Samuel Roberts!

I broke my freaking middle toe on my right foot last night. Just...whacked it just right on the leg of a metal-framed futon. This really sucks. @_@
