Nothing is funnier then sparkledogs arguing over originality.

I know, right?

The worst part is this website is a 'everybody wins' attitude where you cant give criticism without being worse than hitler.

Dude, some fursuit builders, won't give names, can't receive actual, constructive criticism without you being blocked and harassed, it's lame!

The furry community is a massive cesspool of spoiled shitheads that think theyre perfect and infallible. and fursuit makers can be among the worst because people pay hundreds for half-assed work.
its awful.

Indeed, some only want to stick to canines, or equines. Some don't want to expand on what they could potentially do.

because if they make more than canines and equines they might have to actually put WORK into it for the same price.

welcome to my world

ehh, people choose who they wanna commission. And when it comes down to it, art and fursuits are both luxury items.

If people have the money and wanna get a suit, good on them for getting something that makes them happy. Sure, some suit makers are complete snobs, and some overcharge for bad suits(though it's not like you're forced to commission them or anything...), but not all of them are, and many are talented artists who provide a unique and amazing product for those who can afford it.

I know that from a certain pov that some suit makers can come across as downright cold, but as someone who's taken commissions for years, the people on the buying end are hardly nice either. It's not to imply that the artists may be rude because others are, but I'm sure many have weary patience for intolerable customers. These people use their business as primary income, usually, so money does matter, time is money, and supplies cost money too.

I can say I know of a very few fursuit builders who are actually not snobbish, the one who made my own partial is pretty nice.

yeah, that's just how it is, tbh.
But, when you think about it, fursuit artists have to deal with people who probably contact them on a daily basis for a suit quote, but never follow through on it. They also have to deal with making sure they satisfy their customers, order enough supplies, work within deadlines, ship out items, etc.

And yeah, they choose to get into that business, but it's a lot of work for very little profit, and I commend them for having any level of patience. When you think about it, the people they're dealing with is the furry community, and I'm sure many of us know exactly how terrible some of the people in our community are.

so, I'd probably be a bit of a snob too if I was an experienced suit builder, who not only has mastered a unique and awesome craft, but a technique that many people have no understanding of from a business perspective.

Amen

Finally some one said it *high5*

Well, someone had to say it. XD *highfives back*

I legit saw two suit makers post new rainbow husky suits today and oh man the drama people are spewing on my FB feed over it

That's exactly what I'm spoofing.

Honestly I don't even understand the necessity for rainbow sonas?? Like, you couldn't just stick with a reasonable colour palette, you just dumped a bunch of skittles on it and called it special.

But that's just me being nit-picky about the finer details of the drama cesspool that is the furry comm.

Well, for one... furries. Two, they must've wanted to taste that rainbow. ;)

I'm p sure that I've seen a rainbow dog thing around here with the name "skittles". Probably because he wants everybody to taste his rainbow.

Unfortunately FA has no golden stars to offer, but I can offer you a silver stein for that comment.

Dude just make you're own thing and everything is fine.

Exactly. Too much aaack. XD

Someone did the same to me with my lights...claimed a patent..

I based everything off of Open Source and CC (creative commons) license....

rawr!

Wow o.o

Lately Patent lawyers are big...

Yup. At least some furry artists have original designs. Though admittedly in my case, raccoons are in the top ten most selected species for fursonas and I had friends help make mine stand out a smidge, so I can't judge. But yeesh, I know some adults are like this so I should probably get a bag of candy and watch these fights unfold.

Haha yeah... I see a lot of this sort of thing on Twitter for the mostpart.

What about tumblr though? XD

I avoid Tumblr like the plague, I used to have a blog on there, but I deleted it.

Even the creator of tumblr hates his own creation actually.

That wouldn't surprise me.

I only liked it for the art blogs, and silly blogs... but then those blogs became very toxic.

I'm not kidding either. XD I was sort of impressed when I googled it.

I can't navigate that site. Deviantart and furafinity? Easy. Tumblr, noooo.
