[Fluffy Tails]

But he is from 2013, surely he has existed long enough to be a bittervet, right?

On topic though, I realize that perhaps my posts regarding this topic haven't been too coherent, but I did not assume that at that point the whole subject would be blown out of proportion as it is now.

Look, I am speaking as a furry here. The general community of the Fandom is just as tardish as Disco is at times. It also has a huge roleplay focus. This is why you will find Furries in RP communities all the time. Some only go as far as using their own or borrowed art related to the fandom in their avatars or siggies, others decide to flaunt it. I will flat out say it - I do not feel comfortable roleplaying a human character. If I do, it often ends up a parody of a movie character or somehow otherwise being associated with one. My last proper character was probably either Mort or Dgahr - two characters within the span of eight years of Disco.

This is no doubt true for other furries and I can sort of relate to SMI with his qq over it. But at the same time there is a thing called ''respect towards the original lore''. If we are using a game and its original lore for our roleplay platform, it is up to players to utilize what is given to them in order to achieve their RP. Copy-pasting your ''fursona'' into Disco is not only lazy, but also shows complete lack of respect towards the setting you want to roleplay in.

There is also the problem with "Haters can bite me" attitude that the fandom has acheived over the time. That they are somehow entitled to creative freedom and have ''gotten used to the fact that people will qq about their characters, but those people can just suck it.''. Yes you are entitled to creative freedom, but within the constraints of the community you are a part of. This was the case in 84 and nothing has changed now. It was SMI's own fault for trying to crowbar his furry character into Disco. He was warned about that, I even remember a similar thread popping up in 2010 where this was discussed. It was then when the admins were pretty much ''meh'' on the subject and said that unless it disrupts the general RP atmosphere, it can be ignored and ''tolerated''.

I think the reason this has gotten attention and was ''fixed'' was because we are trying to bleach the gene pool and lift the standard of Discovery roleplay from the nosedive that it has been in for a while now. Silly names first, furries now. This is a good change and if we need to stomp over a few people to achieve that Disco survives as a RP server for another few years - so be it.

Yello Sindroms been such a long time.

Yeah Ive been here for a while and this acct was an alt since my first went awol lol.
But I agree with this also, trying to crowbar stuff in is a no no in most games since the communities go loony bout it.
Honestly despite some furries supposedly doing very good RP -I got not clue just what most are saying- I think games should be around there lore honestly. I mean look at star wars for one hell of an example. As mentioned the Cathar race of cat like furries that actually FIT in said lore rather than a random walking talking fox driving a space ship doing RP. Anyways the whole haters can bite me, that's just never gonna end online as much as I hate to say since it gets very very annoying for that attitude.

Btw wuts up with people thinking I'm trolling xD I just droppped by to voice my opinions on behalf of a few peeps I know, if you got an issue with me a "Very bitter vet" posting then you can ******************** and bring it up with the admins lol. I still remember Jensen, Ktayn, @Ae -Admin- screw spelling his name, SummerMcLoving, along with the peeps I used to know being Jeremy Hunter, Tabris, Snakelancer (Trademarked) He knows why I didn't do a proper TM :p, Conrad, the Judges, And my RL bud Shizune... So... who here thinks I'm trolling hmm? Cause I can assure you I don't bring words to a plasma fight. Anyways This whole cluster F has got peoples panties in a bunch and I literally have it settled. I mean my buds are laughing their rears off in my chats since I made this whole fiasco drop in a matter of 6 posts or less and in the most obvious way that even a caveman who reads it would understand.
