No longer supporting weasyl by Tofubread

This day was probably coming, but i cannot support this site from this day forward.

Since i have joined this site, i've only experienced disappointment and overhype for a site that doesn't work well for an artist like myself. While it's understandable the userbase is smaller, this site doesn't work well for artists who aren't well known, much like myself. Unless you're popular, the expected view count will be small and comments and favs will be seldom to none. The browsing system is still not that good, and while there was an update to make it better, it still focuses on tags, and that's not good for an art site.

Most of my issue from this site has come from the elitist attitudes i have experienced on this site, and it's been frustrating to see grown people acting like children. You know how you avoid drama? gaining information and accepting that people will have differing opinions. I've already had people assume that for some reason "oh, you support neer"; no, i don't. That's the assumption that i'm being given and being bitched at for this sort of thing. If that's how people want to be, i want no part of this community. At least with FA and DA, i had no issues within the exception of DA (in which i settled an argument with someone). Heck, WEASYL is where i had my first ART THEFT, and that shocked me.

I just can't support this site with how the community is on this site, and with that, i must take my leave. Best of luck to those who have this site as a backup in case shit happens, but i believe the only way i'll come back here is if the community changes its attitude to those with differing opinions; not accepting that makes them come off as entitled and childish.

Take care guys, and may things get better.

    Will miss you here, but you already know I'm more active on FA

    • Link

      Yeah, this i know XD

    It's really sad. Seems like art theft happens all around though.

    For what it's worth, I'll watch and comment on your art here as well, though yeah on FA I've gotten a lot more views.

      It's appreciated, though i need to work more on improving my art

  • Link

    yeah, this site's already chased a fair few people off with it's viewing and ignoring TOS/AUP violations already as well.

    kind of why i'm just sticking to FA since i enjoy the simplicity of it without all the dramamongers that are migrating from there to here now.

    hope you'll be well wherever ya wind up settling back on the webbernets again bud :)

      It'll be FA again, but i'm going to add sofurry to my gallery listing

        cool. :) FA is still my homebase as well--and if for any reason that IMVU stuff does go southward, at least i gave 'em a chance instead of just being a dramamonger, i say. ^^

          mhm. I just won't be on weasyl if that happens, since it's attracting those very people.

          • Link

            yeah. kinda why i avoid some various sites as well.

            but the way i see it: "furries leave their drama everywhere. it's like they defecate drama behind instead of poop."
            (it's that abundant x-x" )

            • Link

              Yeah,but it seems most prominent here

  • Link

    I guess I''ve been lucky enough to avoid the drama. Yay me! :D

        Hmm. That doesn't upset me. It seems like that is a perfectly reasonable piece of vent art. Many people were upset by the buyout, and expressing ones feelings in a nonviolent, and even creative manner is generally a very positive way to express oneself.

        Now I'm not saying there isn't some real drama whoring going on somewhere on weasel, there is everywhere of you look for it hard enough. I've just been lucky enough to not notice hardly any of it yet. :)
