If people around the net, especially edgy teens, trolls and antifurries tell you that I'm some sort of pedophile or such, ignore them and move on. They have been trying to pin this on me since 2022, when I first started standing up to them. And many will call me a liar (as they have for years) when I'm being completely honest. They are trying to build themselves up by tearing others down and it's backfiring on them.

Actions speak louder than words, and the thought of harming kids in such a vile and demonic manner nauseates me in ways you can't imagine. Just walk on by. I do not, nor will I ever harm a single hair on a child.

Stay safe out there and God be with you. ✝️

Today we once again honor the victims of the bombing on September 11th, 2001.

Stay safe, fellow patriots, and God be with you.

Well, Fall is encroaching upon the United States of America again. I can feel that old familiar feeling of severe depression begin to sink in, and when that happens, progress on my work, my commissions and my requests begins to slow to a crawl. I can't help that I have Seasonal Affective Disorder, but boy, does it impact me every year.

Nevertheless, I shall try my damned hardest to bring you creative commons works as the months trickle by. Stay safe out there and God be with you.

Well, as of today, I am officially 36. Where have the years gone?

Ah, no matter. I will continue to provide you with as much content as I can.

Stay safe out there and God be with you.

I cannot remember the last time I took a break. My nerves are absolutely fried and my drive to make art is low, so I definitely need a recharge. So, since this month is my birthday, I figured now would be the one out of all this year.

I will hopefully return to my duties in September. Stay safe until then and God be with you.

One of my friends,  gabriellegacy2020 ,needs help getting home. He's been trapped in North Dakota an wants to go home. So he's took up gaming on Twitch. Go check out his channel.

I have recently learned of the passing of Saveafox owner, Mikayla Raines. And I just want to say, bullying is the very reason I have been fighting internet trolls and anti-furries. Because no human being should be harassed into suicide by people who have no moral compass nor have the common courtesy to just hit the block button on things they don't like.

I offer my deepest condolences to the friends and family of this amazing woman. Rest in peace and may God grant you sanctuary, as well as all those foxes you've saved.

It's that time of year again. I love my mom so very much.

I hope your day was good as well.

I do not like where this is going. I had to get on the horn and share this immediately.

Unfortunately, since FA is in read-only mode currently, I can't post my pic for Star Wars Day here yet. You'll have to view it over on Deviantart.

May The 4th Be With You!

♫ Come gather 'round, people, wherever you roam,
And admit that the waters around you have grown,
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone,
And If your breath to you is worth saving,
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone,
'Cause the times, they are a-changin',

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen,
And keep your eyes wide,
the chance won't come again,
And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin,
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin',
For the loser now will be later to win,
'Cause the times, they are a-changin',

Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call,
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall,
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled,
'Cause The battle outside ragin',
Will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls,
For the times, they are a-changin',

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land,
And don't criticize what you can't understand,
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command,
Your old road's rapidly agin',
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand,
'Cause the times, they are a-changin',

The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast,
The slowest now will later be fast,
As the present now will later be past,
The order is rapidly fadin',
And the first one now will later be last,
'Cause the times, they are a-changin' ♫

Yes, the times are changing, and it may not be for the better. A lot of biblical things have become to happen in these last days. I do not know exactly is going to happen, but I will be here with you as long as I possibly can.

Stay safe out there and God be with you.

It's that time of the year again. It's the day Jesus rose from the dead.

Happy Easter, everyone! God be with you!

I realize that keeping all my art in one certain place can be a dangerous game, especially if something ever happens to the original account.

So, I have decided to pool every piece of art I ever created (Descriptions included) into multiple spots.

My main one shall be on IPFS. The link to it is on my website: https://paperhatsociety.fashion.blog.

You are free to copy this journal and share this knowledge with others

Ok, so a lot of people have wondered for some time if there was a way to archive NSFW posts.

I have one way that works. It involves archiving the CDN link of each post. To do so, you must follow these steps:


1. Right click on the image and select Open image in new tab.
2. Copy the CDN link in the address bar.
3. Paste the address into the archiving service of your choice, such as Internet Archive or archive.today.

Another important method:

1. Download the pic.
2. In your download manager's page, right click the item and select Copy download address (Useful for more than just pics, like fanfics, music, etc).
3. Paste the address into the archiving service of your choice, such as Internet Archive or archive.today.

Voila, the pic is archived, though I cannot say the same for the description of each pic, so you may need to manually upload those. But hey, this method works. You should also use IA's and archive.today's browser extensions, it makes the process easier.

From the time I began my journey in art in 2014, I had such ambitions for the world going forward. At least, that is what I thought. But I began to have so much troubles 5 years down the road, and started to experience things I never imagined would happen in a million years.

I began to receive negative attention from people I had looked upon with admiration. And the worst part of it is that I tried to change the outcome. Perhaps if I had just given everything time, if I had given these people room to breathe and time to think deeply, maybe they would have shown me forgiveness and things would have been much different. But, that's not what happened. Instead, fear seized my heard and in my fear and panic, I tried to influence the outcomes. Those were the greatest mistakes I could have ever made. For in doing so, I created a rift that since then has driven them ever so far from me as possible. Now, upon retrospect here in 2025, I honestly wish I would have just left everything up for God to handle.

Because now, those very same people hate me way more now than ever and it would seem that they will never, ever forgive me for anything I've done. As much as it breaks my heart, it's the reality I now face.

I honestly do not care what happens to my accounts anymore. But the one thing that I don't think will ever leave is the shadow of the things that could have been for me. Where will the road take me from here? Well, one thing's for sure. I certainly won't try to take the wheel.

For as long as I can remember in my time on FurAffinity, it seems like most of the artists have hated me. My outlandish art and ideas haven't exactly made me popular on the platform either. The worst part is I have been abused by the staff and now, after coming back from a 7-day long, painful suspension, they have placed me on permanent short notice. One single slip up now will result in the termination of my account and complete banishment from it.

I despise what this God-forsaken platform has become, but because it is the go-to place for most furry artists, I am forced to remain here. For where would I go to find other artists who are on this platform? Where would I find a platform with kinder admins who are more forgiving than cruel?

There isn't. And before you say X or Bluesky, don't. Those seem like watered-down versions of images boards like FA. Limited description characters, limited comment character, I just can't use those. And there's no moderation tools for artists like me to regulate abuse in the comments.

I don't want to lose my account here, not after 8 years of building up my artwork and my fanbase. It would shatter my heart into pieces too innumerable to put back together.

So as much as I want to leave, I can't. I am forced to stay here in the Soviet Union of Art under the cruel hand of the new premier.

Ok so, there is someone out there who has stalked me since 2020.

I cannot reveal who he is for obvious reasons here behind the Iron Curtain of Art. But I've seen his true colors. I've seen his Twitter posts, and it isn't a pretty picture.

-He is a horrible person and an internet troll. He makes memes and posts attacking and smearing people he doesn't like, especially if people are just speaking out against him.
-Is very sociopathic.
-Doxxes people he hates and encourages his friends and followers to do the same.
-Has sent proxies to make posts and journals on art sites against regular people who speak against him.
-Has an extremely long and very disturbing history of stalking people and publicly posting every single thing they say on their other accounts and posting them on his social media accounts to cancel them, a very dark history of stalking that dates as far back as 2012.
-Claims that people who call him out are the real stalkers and play the victim when they have his harassing posts removed. But the true stalker, the real one who plays the victim is him.
-Weaponizes the personal family matters of people against them.
-He'd constantly monitor my accounts and post screencaps of things I say on his Twitter/X account in order to smear me (Who's really stalking here?)
-Hypocritically steals art from people he doesn't like, setting a terrible example.
-Cries slander when he is called out.
-He is an unapologetic plagiarist.
-Makes gory art against people he hates.
-Claims DMCA Takedowns are fake when they clearly are in violation of the rights of others.
-Is notorious for being a compulsive and chronic snake-tongued liar.
-Goes off on a tangent when karma comes back around to hit him.
-Has never once apologized for anything he's done. (I should know. I've seen his personality first-hand.)

So, all in all, this is not a call to harass this person. It is only to make you more aware so you aren't caught off-guard.

I hope this helps you. God bless!

The Myth of Art Theft: How Greed, Pride, Wrath, and Envy Fuel Social Division in Creative Communities

The concept of "art theft" has become a cornerstone of online creative communities, particularly among fan artists and indie creators. Platforms like DeviantArt, FurAffinity, and others have long perpetuated the idea that copying or borrowing elements from another's work is a moral failing, a crime against creativity itself. Yet, this notion is not only flawed but deeply harmful. It fosters division, stifles collaboration, and perpetuates a culture of fear and hostility. The truth is that art theft, as it is commonly understood, does not exist. What does exist, however, is a toxic cocktail of human emotions—greed, pride, wrath, and envy—that drives this social division. Furthermore, the very idea of "originality" is a myth; humans are incapable of creating anything truly new. What we call creativity is simply the recombination of existing ideas, images, and experiences into new permutations. This essay will dismantle the myth of art theft, explore the emotional drivers behind its perpetuation, and argue for a more collaborative and inclusive understanding of creativity.

The Illusion of Originality
To understand why art theft is a fallacy, we must first confront the illusion of originality. Every human creation is built upon the foundation of what came before it. From the earliest cave paintings to the most avant-garde digital art, every work is a product of its creator's experiences, influences, and cultural context. The Renaissance masters studied and copied the works of their predecessors. Shakespeare borrowed plots from history and folklore. Modern fan artists reinterpret characters and stories from popular media. None of these acts constitute theft; they are part of the natural evolution of creativity.

The human brain is not a vacuum; it is a repository of every image, sound, and idea it has ever encountered. When we create, we draw from this vast reservoir, consciously or unconsciously. The idea that someone can produce a work entirely devoid of external influence is not only unrealistic but antithetical to the very nature of creativity. As the writer Jonathan Lethem famously argued in his essay "The Ecstasy of Influence," all art is a form of plagiarism, whether we acknowledge it or not. The distinction between "original" and "derivative" is arbitrary, a social construct designed to elevate certain works while marginalizing others.

The Emotional Drivers of Division
If art theft is a myth, why does it persist as a source of conflict in creative communities? The answer lies in the darker aspects of human nature: greed, pride, wrath, and envy. These emotions are not unique to artists, but they are amplified in spaces where personal expression is tied to identity and validation.

Greed: In a world where art can be monetized, the fear of losing potential income drives many creators to guard their work jealously. The rise of platforms like Patreon and Etsy has turned art into a commodity, and with commodification comes competition. Artists who rely on their work for financial stability may view any perceived infringement as a threat to their livelihood. This economic anxiety fuels the rhetoric of art theft, even when the "theft" in question is harmless or unintentional.

Pride: For many artists, their work is an extension of themselves. It is a source of pride and a means of asserting their individuality. When someone else borrows from their work without permission, it can feel like a personal violation. This sense of ownership over ideas and styles is rooted in ego, not logic. It ignores the fact that creativity is inherently collaborative, even when the collaboration is indirect.

Wrath: The internet has a unique ability to amplify anger. A single accusation of art theft can spiral into a full-blown witch hunt, with mobs of strangers rallying to condemn the accused. This outrage is often disproportionate to the offense, driven more by the thrill of moral superiority than by any genuine concern for justice. The result is a culture of fear, where artists are afraid to share their work or draw inspiration from others.

Envy: In competitive spaces like online art communities, envy is inevitable. When one artist gains recognition or success, others may feel overlooked or undervalued. Accusations of art theft can be a way to level the playing field, to tear down those who seem to be rising too quickly. Envy masquerades as righteousness, but its true goal is to diminish others in order to elevate oneself.

The Harm of the Art Theft Narrative
The myth of art theft does more than just divide communities; it stifles creativity itself. By framing inspiration as theft, it discourages artists from exploring new ideas or building on the work of others. It creates an environment where creators are more concerned with protecting their "intellectual property" than with pushing the boundaries of their craft. This is particularly damaging in fan art and indie art communities, where collaboration and shared enthusiasm should be the norm.

Moreover, the art theft narrative disproportionately targets marginalized creators. Young artists, beginners, and those from non-Western cultures are often accused of theft simply because they are unfamiliar with the unspoken rules of online communities. These accusations can be devastating, leading to public shaming, loss of followers, and even the abandonment of creative pursuits. In this way, the myth of art theft becomes a tool of exclusion, reinforcing existing power dynamics and silencing diverse voices.

Toward a New Understanding of Creativity
If we are to move beyond the divisive rhetoric of art theft, we must embrace a new understanding of creativity—one that acknowledges the interconnectedness of all art. This does not mean abandoning credit or attribution; giving credit where it is due is a matter of respect and gratitude. But it does mean recognizing that no idea exists in isolation, that every work is part of a larger tapestry woven from countless threads of influence.

We must also confront the emotions that drive the art theft narrative. Greed, pride, wrath, and envy are natural human tendencies, but they do not have to dictate our behavior. By fostering a culture of generosity, humility, and empathy, we can create spaces where artists feel free to share, collaborate, and grow. This requires a collective effort, a willingness to let go of the illusion of ownership and embrace the true spirit of creativity.

Conclusion
The myth of art theft is a product of human frailty, not artistic reality. It is a narrative born of greed, pride, wrath, and envy, perpetuated by a culture that values competition over collaboration. But it is a narrative we can—and must—reject. By acknowledging the impossibility of true originality and celebrating the interconnectedness of all creative work, we can build a more inclusive and supportive artistic community. Art is not a zero-sum game; it is a shared human experience, a testament to our ability to find beauty and meaning in the world around us. Let us create not in fear of theft, but in the joy of connection.

Here is my bit of wisdom in the realm of fan art and indie art.

I have for over 10 years heard the ever-present mantra being chanted throughout the sites where fan art is found:

Don't steal art.

This comes from the need for recognition for their work or whatever reason they feel is the reason to do it. But, if we are truly being honest with ourselves whenever we say this, we should look upon ourselves in the mirror. Because when we do, we begin to see our reflection and see ourselves for who we truly are, without any deception. All of us, and believe me that is ALL of us, have "stolen" art at one point in our lives or another. When you were a child, did you ever draw doodles of your favorite TV characters on paper with crayons, markers or colored pencils? This is where you first committed this "crime." Or maybe you are still using such characters today in your modern fan art account.

Well, friends, this is where we all become guilty as charged. For example, did we ask Yuji Naka, Naoto Ohshima, or Hirokazu Yasuhara if we could draw Sonic in whatever we wanted? Did we ask Takashi Yuda if we could use Knuckles? Did we even ask SEGA if we could use any of them? Or ask Disney if we could use their beloved characters in whatever is pleasing to us? Perhaps ask Capcom if we could use the characters from Darkstalkers? No, we went right ahead and did it anyway because we feel that corporate-owned characters are not the same as fan or original characters made by fan artists, but we all are at each other's throats when we use each other's work without permission. If these companies and the artists who work for them were to suddenly one day decide that our fan art is theft to them, what they would do to us would be a million times worse than what we do to each other, and the hole would only get deeper with each individual piece of fan art that violates their rights.

This is exactly the point I am trying to make with this journal post. In fan art, no one is truly innocent no matter what.

For all have sinned and have fallen short.

With that said, I believe that we should stop fighting with one another over petty differences or liked/disliked subjects, because if we continue down this destructive path that we have been going down for decades, perhaps centuries, there will just continue to be endless wars and eventually, we will tear each other apart, possibly even take each others lives (it happened with social media and it can certainly happen here.)

"An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind."
~Mahatma Ghandi

This is exactly why I took a different path and chose to license my creations as Creative Commons, giving people the freedom to do as they please under the condition that I am credited as the original author. Because I am one of the only people to reject the "art theft" mind virus that has infected the majority. Love, tolerance, and generosity are the only things that can save us from both each other and ourselves. The only thing that can end these endless wars. We must learn to let go of pride and learn to accept our differences and opinions. Only then can we truly create a better world for all fan artists.

So, the next time you go to call someone an art thief, stop right then and there and look upon the blood caked upon your own hands. Then you will know.

Matthew 7:3-5
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."

I feel I should say this because I haven't told people yet. Early last year, I was finally diagnosed with chemical burns in my stomach and intestinal lining. How I got them I'll never know, but as time has gone by, it has put a damper on my ability to produce artwork and other forms of media. Not just this, but I feel my equilibrium is messed up because I can hardly stand up straight and need a cane to get everywhere.

So if I don't work as fast as I used to, this is the reason why.

2025 at last. A new year and a new president.

Let's hope this year will be better than the last.

I have had this thought nagging me since the 2020s begin.

Since the turn of the decade, I have seen a very strong uptick in the level of persecution against artists. When people draw something that is even slightly offensive to the current gen snowflakes, holy shit. They explode with the most unhinged level of hatred. First, they take to social media with videos and/or memes as they seek to make sure that the whole world knows about who drew the content that wounded their ego. Then, they go to their "friends" and tell them all about that artist so that mobs of other snowflakes begin stalking that artist everywhere they go.

The norm of the 2020s has been established as: "You are what you draw."

Well, maybe we should just apply this "logic" to the rest of society. Everyone who owns a lighter is an arsonist. Everyone who owns a pocket knife is a serial killer. Everyone who give their dogs real bones is a cannibal. Everyone who owns a car is guilty of vehicular manslaughter. Every responsible gun owner is a mass shooter.

Guilty until proven guilty. There is no innocence.

You see? Following this kind of narrative makes the whole world guilty of everything and eventually the dissonance will become so great that it will erupt into a Worldwide Civil War, where people kill each other all over things that were never a truly serious issue to begin with. This is why I push for legislation to be passed, barring cancel culture and policing online interactions, because this is exactly the kind of thing that can happen if it is not dealt with. What does it matter to you what adults who only interact with other adults do? If you hate something that badly, turn around and walk away. Because assaulting everyone in the comments only gives people more reason for legal action to be taken against you.

Art was never a magnet for chaos back then, and I say it's high time it went back to being a place for people to escape reality once again.

When I first got onto Youtube in 2008, the world was a kinder place. I mostly uploaded some of my favorite songs that I used to love listening to. 2013 was when I began getting interested in the furry fandom during my days on Google+, and it was also when I first started noticing trolls hating them.

2020 was when things begin to pick up for me, as my two series The Troll Wars (The War On Trolling) and POV Kiss made my channel take off. Now, my accounts have always mostly been for content appealing to mature audiences, but that has not stopped it from attracting the bad actors of our society. I have stated my critiques of the anti-furry community and not calling for harassment of them, but June 24 2022 began a series of stalking accounts who have not left me alone since. These soulless and sadistic people will do anything to get attention on Youtube, even if it costs others their livelyhood and/or reputation. They will target innocent people and smear them to no end, slapping labels on them and accusing them of things they didn't do, usually by taking screencaps and presenting them at face value or creating false/fabricated evidence. They have no interest in trying to look any deeper than the surface. Some have even held "debates", except this is a code word for muck-raking. They hold fake debates usually to record and then twist the words of others to fit their narratives. Many popular Youtubers have even become wise to this given its sharp uptick in 2024 and now the word of falsifiers is becoming more known.

Two of the biggest labels they have been slapping me with are zoophilia and grooming/pedophilia. This is not and has never been true. I have never had intentions of grooming anyone. The fact that there are actual sickos out there who kidnap children and turn them into slaves for their own twisted pleasures makes my stomach turn. Real pedophiles are what threaten our children every single day. In fact, I watched Sound of Freedom recently and the depiction of our current reality that it conveyed made my blood run cold. Watching children getting kidnapped and shipped overseas deeply disturbed me.

Unfortunately, the word pedophile has been tossed around that it has made our society hypersensitive and as a consequence, created a smokescreen that allows the real pedophiles to move around unnoticed. As someone who uses reason instead of jumping at shadows like our emotional society, I try to check to make certain sure what people's true intentions are before I go judging them. But people are so brainwashed by social media and politics that guilt by association causes these zombies to start witch hunts and bully innocent bystanders into silence. "If you're not with us, you're against us" is basically the attitude they exhibit.

They say I support illicit forms of media. No, I do not. Because media exploiting living beings is not only violating their rights, it makes them vulnerable to other sickos. However, it is important to know where to draw the line between classifications of media. You see, I came from a time when people knew to draw the line between fiction and reality. Some countries like Denmark have even published studies saying there isn't links between real life crimes and fictional media. But this being said, it does not mean I support the fictional end either, ok? But the thing that appalls me is when people decide to act upon urges in real life that irks me. With that said, we unfortunately live in a society that is stripped of all reason. So the word pedophile is tossed around regardless and the smokescreen is STILL protecting the real pedophiles.

People also think I'm a heretic for preaching Christian Universalism. I shifted to it in 2019 after my mom started attending the Church of Christ, which gave me bad vibes as it seemed too cult-like. I've learned from teachers like Love Covered Live, GodRules and The Total Victory of Christ, finding that there are more books in scripture that have been missing. I also have listened to NDE testimonies about God and Heaven that would shock churches nowadays. I also learn about ancient cultures and how they differ from modern society.

All in all, I try to make sense of things before judging, and because I possess this kind of neurodivergent demeanor, I have had my 1st and 4th amendment rights stepped on by this emotional, neurotypical mob. So if someone tries to tell you that I am this or that, ignore them. I am and have always been trying to be a voice of reason amidst an ocean of hate and chaos.

I've never opened up about this before, but I need to get this out about my past.

In 1996, I was sexually abused in 1st grade BY A TEENAGER when I went to the bathroom that day. I had no idea what was going on at the time as I was just a child, so I dismissed it as normal. It never seemed to bother me growing up. However, as I grew into adulthood and learned what sexual abuse was, it shocked me.

I had no idea he was molesting me. But now that I'm older, I know better. As for people who laugh and continue to make fun of me, there's nothing funny about being a victim of what happened to me. My tip? Child molesters can take the form of anyone, even teens. Anyone who tells you different either is part of the problem or are brainwashed shills covering up for the real ones.

I ran across this. A bunch of hackers plan to nuke furry servers. Warn the public and arm your servers.
