I draw/model creatures, critters, and furries; sometimes normal, other-times not normal (fat). The content of this account is for people at or over the age of 18. It is also not for the squeamish or puritanical.

It’s not personal, but if you watch me and have no posts, replies, nor even an avatar I will block you. I might review your account later to see if you developed it any, or I might not and just forget.

The world is full of scams, scum, and bots, so I have to do what I have to do.

Mastodon, FA, Transfur, e621, etc basically anything that isn’t overly corporate.

Bots help.

Is every trending topic on Tumblr reframed in service of their crap? Common experience on Twitter: Two white guys brawling? “Must have been influenced by [hard R]s.” Cue back and forth insults. Scroll down a while to get to people who actually comment on the video itself.

Good.

Besides hypocrisy, if we encourage a culture of intolerance it *will* backfire. The purity spiral eats furries for breakfast.

Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!

I guess we’re going back to money orders in P.O. Boxes…

It’s nice being right.

Torvus @bigtorvus.bsky.social · Aug 21

The lines will be drawn politically, blocking anything that can be made to look scary in that moment.

Anyone genuinely interested in doing right by people know enough to leave well enough alone. Parents should police their kid’s internet usage. They don’t need the government’s help.

In defining porn, I speak of it as a generalization of what most people think about. Obviously furry porn existed (as did the backlash), but it wasn’t something normal people thought about until that episode of CSI.

Torvus @bigtorvus.bsky.social · Aug 20

Much of what I like/draw would barely be considered porn 25 years ago, but because everyone’s online now, everyone knows that anything can be porn. Porn then is a sexy naked lady or dude. Porn now is anything that anyone likes too much. Art will get censored from people getting too much into it.

PSA: Store shelves in America may or may not be emptying out next week. Depending on your political alignment or crunchiness, this may or may not be good.

You might want to consider buying necessary things in advance this week.

I know why. He’s been filling the buffer with excess mass since January. To prevent a deadly buffer overflow the system dumped it on the next user.

By pure chance that happened to the original owner. Someone got lucky (or unlucky… you never know people).

You’ll have to run transporters in SLI mode for this guy.

Mmm… you’ve given me an idea. Maybe something will come of it. Maybe not.

There's one guy, and I'm waiting to see what he'll say when the shelves empty and work dries up. He's smart, but super a macho trad type. He has a good heart and I shouldn't talk about people like that.

Torvus @bigtorvus.bsky.social · Apr 27

I should rethink that. While true in the past, a couple were friends who changed 2010-2016 and no-longer speak to me. In '10-15 I even sought them out to understand. I was a hopeless centrist; even voted Republican in '12... So I'm not really all that smart, and I'm not really all that much better.

Whenever I feel like that, I blame myself for not working hard enough to get away from people like that.

It’s not all bad. There are some great people in my life. But I also know way too many who I wouldn’t have anything to do with if I didn’t have to.

Nope! For this to be truly 1:1, it must be something no one else understands, yet squicky enough that they’d use pseudonyms, or adsonas.
