Had to come all the way to Weasyl to say it but DANG I enjoyed reading World war Z (WAY better then the bad movie), thanks again!
-
Thanks it is a nickname I earned from having my ass kicked and not giving a shit till the guy hitting me missed and crunched his fist through a PC monitor. After that I laughed and said "You can't fuck with me I am dangerous" meaning pun but being Dane the next day everyone called me DANEgerous and it has stuck.
-
Hi Ransom :) sorry about the huff on FA. They're insane for their choices and unfair stuff. I'm happy to have a Weasyl too.
-
Insanity might be right. Others have claimed that mental illness (sociopathy, specifically) may legitimately be part of the cause of their behaviour. I can't say, but regardless of their reasoning, their shit shouldn't be tolerated.
Thanks for voicing your support!
-
well whichever it is, the point stands that something is up with them admins and its affecting the site full of people who just want to display their work which they poured their effort into D:
-
It's ridiculous. The stereotype of furries being sexual deviants is a whole hell of a lot harder to disprove when the owner of the most popular furry site possesses a documented history of aiding sexual predators, and the same site's coder has his own track record of scummy behaviour and is widely thought to be a rapist. Don't forget that a convention exists around that site. The whole thing is just awful for all of us.

Oh hey, hi how are you? Um you may not know me but i've read your thing about FA. I left FA, not completely, and i joined weasyl because of the fact that I sensed something was going to occurred. Although i did not know that the said person/group that has caused a controversy was involved with a type of rape i never heard, because i don't like to be involved in drama, i find the fact rather disturbing and how the admins don't care is quite uncomfortable and unacceptable. Any who I just wanted to greet you and give ya a kudos for standing up to the whole situation.
-
Hiring someone widely-believed to be a rapist is an incredibly foolish move, and when considering his victims are members on that site, is downright evil. Censoring criticism of this is ridiculous too. If you need a shining example of the polar opposite of a role model, it's easily found on FA's staff.
Thanks for your encouragement. It's good to see you here on Weasyl.

Earned a watch from me good sir! I found my way here from your tumblr post!
I'm quite tempted to clear my gallery and post your tumblr just so i get myself banned as well, lol. I'm by no means a big name artist there (my watcher count is only 700+ and i don't post anything anymore), so i doubt i'll be truly missed, but fuck.. Glad to have you over here on Weasyl and I look forward to seeing your work!-
Go for it! Seven-hundred isn't much less than the number of people I had watching me on FA, but it was apparently enough for that journal to erupt in popularity. You don't have to be the most popular artist — I'm certainly not — but you're not a lone voice. We're a collective of pissed-off people who won't stand for this bullshit in our own community! Every individual who voices their disapproval helps.
By all mean, definitely go ahead and clear your gallery. You can crosspost submissions easily with Waxpost, and transfer your watch list with SOFT (formerly hilariously named "Fender Bender"). I just suggest leaving one of these as your featured submission and/or profile image. Don't forget to clear all of your notes too, including emptying the trash folder. Make sure the journal post is the last step you take, in case you get suspended or banned for it.
Great to have you here on Weasyl. Thank you so much for your empathy.
-
I'm actually well aware of Waxpost! I've been suggesting it to others whom i've seen with concerns about cross-posting being a major hassle :3 I've even tried using it previously, but for some reason it wasn't working for me. I may just say fuck it and just re-upload select pieces (namely character sheets and gifts)
Had no idea about SOFT's original name though! XD That is hilarious.. I hadn't even though about deleting my notes though, but thank you for suggesting it!
I suppose you're right though about being a collective voice on the matter. I just really hope that in the end it's worth it. Personally, for me, I'd just be happy with them removing Zaush from staff, or better yet, if he willingly stepped the fuck down, but i don't see either happening any time soon..
I can deal with the constant broken promises of site improvement, but having the lead administration completely ignore the public outcry is unacceptable, and down right disturbing.. Add to that, the victim shaming/blaming that is being spewed by everyone, it's all beyond not ok and just the final straw of many...
I've even read several journals from artists i truly admired saying 'Good riddance, more business for me!' in regards to all of the bigger name artists jumping ship... Which just... sickens me.. :|Anyway.. XD Sorry for spamming your shouts! I can keep chatting through notes if you'd prefer.

my pleasure nwn I got banned for linking to your tumblr post about your censored journal on fa c: it sucks but eh, stuff happens. neer is still a big fat disgusting fuck though.
-
You're awesome. Speaking out against such a monster is amazing, and kudos to you. :)
Have a follow, and by god that last note from you on FA to 'Neer was hilarious. XD-
Hahaha, that really makes me smile. I'm glad it was on record to make others laugh too.
Thank you so much for the kindness!
-
-
-
I wouldn't have found your gallery if it wasn't for all of this FA drama! So I guess something good came out of it.
Rock on for leaving that puke stain on the fabric of the internet.
-
There is one (actually many) things I can be thankful for the migration is that I happen upon yet more artists I've never seen before; great gallery, and definitely worth the follow.

You're welcome and thanks for your journals making the situation that's happening a little bit more clearer overall.

You might have seen this. In case you haven't: https://www.change.org/petitions/sean-piche-remove-adam-wan-from-his-position-as-development-head

Guess that couldn't hurt as a gauge to the community's collective outrage, though I'd be surprised if Dragoneer adhered to it. He's stuck so far up his own ass he's in danger of choking on his own head. I do want Zaush gone and banned, but then there's the greater problem of Dragoneer, himself. He's just as much of a scumbag, and needs to be ejected from that site and the fandom as hard as anyone.
-
-
Well I've had this sitting here since the Private Beta days. I guess it just sits here waiting for the FA ship to eventually sink.
But hey, no problem. If I didn't fully agree with you, I wouldn't have said jack. But your journal was just choc full of 'YES'. The place is a festering pile of shit and it's not worth the trouble anymore. Hopefully this place doesn't go the same way in years to come.
-
-
Thank you so much, haha! I feel this sums up my exit.
-
-
-
I've seen you around for a while [like one day out with Dee he was doodling things for you] but had to follow ya after this shitfest. I had. a related incident in my past making this a really sore subject, and your takedown of it all was just spectacular C:
-
Jesus, a personalized thank you. I might just have to leave that one up. Keep on keepin' on, Ransom.
-
You're very welcome, hun :3 I saw your journal before it got taken down. Keep on doing the great stuff you do!
-
You are awesome, so you've earned a follow from me :) I'm glad to see someone sticking up for something they believe in, and for that thing being a good cause!
-
-
Ah no problem man! I just caught up on all the issues, myself, and even I feel like I might leave FA...not permanently, but I'm certainly moving over to Weasyl and DA more often now. I've had many issues with FA in the past as well, it's just really not a good place. At all. I wish I didn't have so many friends on it, or I WOULD leave completely...Ugh. Dragoneer disgusts me. I just read all about him on the bad-furry blog thing. I can't...Just ew.
-

-
-
Thanks for following me back--I like your art style! I was also very impressed by your recent journal. Thanks for speaking up!
-
Saw your journal before it got deleted - mad props for standing up like this, a bit too harsh with some words but overall well said!
-
nothin to it! add my name to the list of people giving you props and support for your recent journals and posts
-
-
Not a problem, glad someone wasn't afraid to stand up against the bullshit on FA; definitely worth following here
-
You're welcome man, my heart and praise go out to everyone working to get people here and away from FA. I sent your journal around as much as I could before they took it down. And I've had the Tumblr version passed along to me.
I'm glad more and more people are working to get everyone passed along.
-
No problem! I felt like supporting you because you'd made the switch from FA. Great art, hope to see more of it soon!
-
No problem, dude. You have a nice art style and your FA-related Tumblr posts are amazing. Much respect. And that last burn: OUCH. I let out an audible "Oooooh!" when I saw it. Nicely done! Haha.
-
Your tumblr post addressing the whole FA exodus is fantastic. Kudos for those who decide to try and make a difference!
-
I'm with you whenever you go, seriously we need more people like you willing to stand up. Too bad the douches took down your journal, though I did screenshot the entire thing. Seriously, I'm with you. +follow

-
Well Project Pheonix is off to a good start, they've burned their own site to ashes. Now if only they could get that resurrection part down...
-
-
grrrr i left a comment saying you're awesome on your journal but it looks like it was removed.. that's just.. ugh. anyway, thanks for posting that journal, and thanks for taking a stand.
-
I believe this link could not be more relevant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XgpxxUbk8Q
-
they sure didn't waste any time removing your journal. Got lucky and saw it on my phone earlier, otherwise I'd have not known you left. glad to see you here though
-
-
Many have said similar, and though I may not have known of you beforehand, you've earned my respect.
-
I am proud of you. What an inspiration to the rest of us. Thank you for compiling all that evidence. I already linked Ferality's/Dragoneer's convversation from YiffyLeaks to my Twitter, but you assembled all the evidence into one nice easy-to-swallow pill. I will be directing people to your Tumblr post who claim they don't know anything.
-
Those people are junk and they needed to be called out. I was hoping to it would provide a thorough collection of evidence of their misdeeds, and a convincing-enough argument for others to not put up with their shitty behaviour. I really didn't expect this many people to take notice, nor did I expect all the praise that came with it. I thought maybe a handful of my friends would see, the journal would get swiftly deleted, and then the crosspost on Tumblr would blow over, but hundreds of people have commented on and liked/reblogged it. It's more than I ever thought would happen, and it is really encouraging to see so many people are as disgusted and enraged as I've been.
-

-
Same boat as Viral_Divinity. Found you from following a link to that awesome journal and totally gonna be following you here! :D
-
I'm surprised I didn't see your art before, but glad I read what you posted through tumblr, especially glad you took the time to write it all out in such perfect wording, even though those idiots didn't deserve it(and reading the comments its obvious half of them didn't care/are still thinking it was consent and just..ugh). Im glad to have found someone who cares and takes a stand, its nice to find as another survivor.
-
The majority of the comments I've gotten regarding what I said have been positive. Maybe, collectively, people aren't as awful as we sometimes assume. Just look at everyone who's migrated here; so many people refuse to put up with their bullshit — it's way more than I had anticipated.
Especially as a survivor, I'm really glad that you liked what I wrote.
-
-
-
It's what I do. ( ºwº)9
Really, though, someone had to call Zaush and Dragoneer out. That bullshit is unacceptable. What are they gonna do? Suspend me from the site that I've abandoned?
-
-
Saw your journal on FA - I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you so damn much. Also giving you a watch because your art is really cool! <3

I don't think this situation is burning a bridge, rather than running quickly from a building that's going through a controlled demolition while there are still occupants...Right..?
-
-
Haha, read my farewell journal and tell me I didn't burn any bridges.
