    While this is probably fake, I did have a momentary recollection of my preteen days on the living room family computer surfing warez sites and, while my mom was visiting (me living with my dad), big ol’ horsecock popped up on a pop-up ad. She uh, she had a reaction. But, like a fucking normal person, I just explained that happens sometimes when you’re pirating shit.

    Yes, I’m old, this story is pre-ublock and no script, and before torrents were a thing. Pre-limewire too? Actually hol’up, how did 10 year old me know about warez…? Lol

      Fellow old man: We learned the words we needed to complete the spell. In those days internet usage was more art than science. You either learned or you did without. I learned the term so young because I needed a crack to stop having to swap discs in the D drive constantly.

      The days of downloading a movie, and having to watch some of it in private first to make sure it wasn’t porn labeled wrongly.

      It could be real. I’m an aspiring furry artist and have had to look up a lot of animal genitalia for research purposes.

      …I don’t still live with my parents however.

        Could be, though it’s not so much the type of inspiration so much as the lack of safeguards most people would have in place. I studied art for a bit before switching majors and know full well how important reference material is. Life drawing has nude human models, after all, so why not deer vagina?

        Although getting a live deer to pose for your class would be rather difficult, hehe.

      Old internet was wild. I remember I got scammed into convincing my mom to pay for WinMX, which was free. Upside, she thought my pirate-ass program was legit so when the whole Napster thing blew up, I was in the clear.

      Kid should have told the mother that he was studying to be a vet. I know a fella who works three months a year (during the breeding season), and for each little slice he makes in a doe, he nets somewhere between $300-$1000. A single rich rancher can have dozens or hundreds of deer that they want to selectively breed to get bigger, more ‘prize-worthy’ bucks that can fetch a high hunting fee for folks willing to pay for it. All the feller has to do is the last step of the IVF, not even the semen collection bit, so he shows up, works for about a week at each ranch, and moves on.

      It’s mind boggling how much money he brings in.

      Can you provide me with a query that would get me this information? Because furfeak (probably misspelled but this is really outside of my knowledge realm) does not yield many relevant results

        I’ve seen people asking for up to $500 for a commission. It was a pretty intricate commission, but they obviously get it. The ones that I just can’t believe are the very obvious character drawn naked, and then some clothes are added on top. Then a streamer style bullshit goes on where after they get X amount of money, a piece of clothing is removed. I’ve seen people, in an aggregate, toss thousands at those. Boggles my mind.

        Think they misspelled “furfreak” which is probably just a derogatory term for furries. You can Google furries at your own risk.

          I will pass, was just curious how much money could be made. I know some comic artists on reddit basically make their living based on that.

            A quick black and white art piece with someone’s character doing non-lewd things can be between 40 and 100USD depending on the artist. Custom color art pieces range between 150 and 300 depending on level of detail and how lewd you want the scene to be. If the scene is busy or a niche fetish, you can easily exceed 500. If you’re a popular artist, it just goes up from there.

        Well I’m the past people used the term “furfag” but that’s the wrong kind of derogatory. Furrys are bestiality adjacent; sexual orientation is irrelevant and not deserving of bigotry.

    My first thought was “why would it look any different from any other four legged mammal?” So I had to look it up. and yes, anon is a dumbass also on the fact that it does look exactly like you would expect.

    Furries are notoriously rich, so I think that’s the only out for someone who’s drawn themselves into this type of corner. It was business, not pleasure.

      the more niche a fetish is, the more money there can potentially be made because there’s no creators that “Create” in it. hence theres an inverse relationship to mainstream fetish and how much a typical content creator for it makes.

        Well, the people who want your art also have to both exist and have money to pay you if you want to make money. There’s probably a sweet spot. I’m not sure what it is, but the money to be made probably declines after a point.

          at some point yes, but that rabbit hole is very deep.

          for example, hard to prove if actually true or not, but the whole theory on nikocado avocado and his channel actually being a front to advertise for a secret feeder fetish crowd.

      I fucking love buboosenchan.

      She’s amazing.

      Although watching her I’m super reminded that she’s a tiktoker through and through and would like to let all of you know that a different tiktoker (etymologynerd) just released a book about how language is evolving to circumvent censorship particularly on tiktok and even discusses a few instances where the algorithm silenced his content. It’s called “algospeak” and is just soooo well researched and cited and I’m just enjoying it so much!
