Exactly.Besides, I'm more interested in furry characters being CHARACTERS, not meaty fuckpuppets or lit up with more garish colors than the 1980s, like most furry characters are unfortunately.At this point, it's really not a matter of whether your characters are humans or elves or furries or ponies or hedgehogs. To me, it's about how the character's portrayed, not what they are.

^ I agree with this 100%.

Always bugged me the way that fandoms like the furry fandom are always associated with smut. I mean, when I first discovered furries, I didn't even realize that was a thing. I just thought they looked cool and made interesting characters, and became very confused and slightly traumatized whenever I would look up certain Digimon on the Internet (which I now realize are very furry-like in design) and have Google Images bombard me with porn.

Kind of reminds me of this thing that happened a couple years back with this guy I knew. He accidentally ran into MLP for the first time on the Internet, but was afraid to admit how much he liked it. At first I kind of teased him about it, saying things like "Hey everyone look this guy's a brony!", just cuz I mess with him all the time and we're cool about it. But then it went on for like a week and I realized how legitimately afraid he was of being called a brony or even being associated with the adult MLP fandom. While at first I thought he was just afraid of people knowing he liked a show for little girls, I eventually realized he was afraid because he assumed "brony" meant you enjoyed MLP Rule 34...

It took a while, but I managed to help him understand that this is not the case, and there are a lot of MLP fans out there who are perfectly decent human beings. Since then, he's come out of his shell about all of it, and now he's a very happy man with a Rainbow Dash backpack who makes remixes of MLP songs on Youtube. In fact, he's almost as obsessed as Nat, and people have a hard time believing me when I try telling them what he used to be like when he first found the show.

No, of course not. I imagine quite a few people, myself included, have done it. But like you said, it's about telling a story first and foremost. It's just there's so. Much. Smut. The vast majority of RPs in 1x1 right now are basically Craigslist ads, and that's kinda fucked up. I don't know why those people don't realize that it's inappropro and is a big part of the reason we lost the oldguild. If you gotta do smut, take it somewhere that's not public. Ain't rocket science.

There really should be a sticky at the top of the 1x1 section saying, "Your smut is the reason oldGuild got wiped from the net. Tone it the fuck down." Preferably making all that the title and the actual post content a simple "^".

Well that's a shame.My friend was totally thinking of getting into roleplaying and we were going to do a 1x1, guess I'm stearing clear of THAT section though.

You know, if you already have a partner in mind for a 1x1 RP, then I really don't see why the rest of what's in that section should interrupt your roleplaying at all. Once you get an idea for the RP, you can make a thread there, and then all your RPing is in one thread with no incoming influence from any of the others.

Nothing stopping you.

I hope not. I'm first in favor of 1x1 being stricken off the face of the world. If the majority can't take care of nice things, despite repeated warnings, loss of the old site and more, then fuck. Kill that shit. Because otherwise, the rest of us are liable to be punished in the events they... Iunno, end up getting our revenue killed >_>

You know, some of us still have perfectly acceptable roleplays in that section.

You know what's really bad about this? Old guild 1x1 didn't get me banned.New Guild 1x1 is legitimately worse than old guild 1x1.

I'm not surprised. We don't have a report button anymore.

Welcome Back to the Guild

Posted. Sorry for the delay. Renovations are almost done, so I should be more present than currently after tomorrow.Also, nice pic, Kaga. Rhett & Link are pretty cool.

Hah, thanks. When I saw Rhett wearing that wig, I just couldn't resist. XD

Well, shit. Looks like Spam turned into Off Topic

I was a little worried that would happen when I decided to make a thread about politics.

I hoped the ridiculousness of the content would offset things, but no... :/

New York and California are somewhat reviled in general conversation. Same way people stigmatize the south, which is probably worse in a lot of ways. I would probably do the same thing if I didn't have family from the south and realize what kind of prejudice they face in other parts of the country.

News to me. I mean I've seen people bash on California and the South and such, but not really NY before. *shrugs*

I feel you on that. I have a whole host of issues with what my state is doing, especially Brown opening us up to private prisons. I still love my state though.

I don't even follow politics that well. The yogurt thing just caught my eye on the front page of the newspaper a couple mornings ago.

I've just never heard people bashing on New York so much before now. I mean, what I said in the OP was sort of directed at politicians in general. But regarding the debate that has broken out in this very thread... The issues don't seem to be nearly as bad as people are making them out to be. I live here, and I never particularly hated the things going on here.
