[Locked] FAKKU State of the Union 2016

I don't understand where you're getting at here. You were given a Western artist who shows there's a market, and you want to make it not count since they're successful?

Erotic comics have always had a market here in the US, and not just on the Furry or the anime/doujinshi market. Look at stuff like Barbarella, the majority of the stuff Last Gasp publishes, Alan Moore's Lost Girls, Milo Manara, Elementals (Bill Willingham), all of HEAVY METAL, and that's not even mentioning the successful kickstarters I've seen recently.

Doxy is a success story of an independent artists making it big without ever being published by a company, but don't think publishers aren't publishing erotic comics, and don't think the big names of the comic industry aren't writing them.

People can claim that "no one pays for porn", but you also have to realize these are also comics. That gives them a different sort of value to a particular type of collector and reader, and I can guarantee you most any adult comic fan has stumbled across erotic comics at some point.

Actually, Doxy grew his fame in the furry community. Doxy goes by another name: Onta. He's been a member of the furry community for years. He runs HardBlush and WetBlush, both subscription based services for furry porn contributed by a number of artists.

He's done some anthologies such as :
https://www.doujinshi.info/book/minnano-renamon-y100

And has released a number of his self-published books/doujinshi in both the US and Japan.

It's almost like the people who come into this thread to bitch don't know what the hell they're talking about. If no one paid for porn, there soon wouldn't be any new material coming out anymore.

I love it when lurkers come in and complain about stuff, despite knowing nothing about what they're complaining about. It's good times, makes for a good meme

Agreed. The subscription has been live for over 6 months and we've been selling books for almost 2 years. It's time for some people to move on.

Other than that while I do support the move and warming up a bit more to it, I still cannot bring myself to do it just yet. Keep up the good work though

Where are those people who said you'd be out of business within 6 months because not enough people would pay and you should just make all your money from ads, even though 90% of users have an adblocker?

They do.

That doesn't stop it from being scummy though. Its like breaking up with a shitty cheating ex; sure you move on, but that shitty cheating ex is still as scummy as ever.

I think it's more like those 'moving on' are the cheating ex. Scummy, cheating, but whinge that they are the victim, when clearly they aren't.

It's also blindingly obvious that people aren't moving on, because of accounts such as yours, and the alts where they come purely to whinge about something that is now 6 months old, and was announced years prior to becoming a thing. Your own ignorance through lack of care isn't a reason to be salty

Yes it is.

I lost $150 on an anti-consumer monopoly masquerading as a small company. The knowledge that I contributed to this travesty makes me ill and full of regret.

It's really not. If you're supposedly a fan/ follower of something, you don't go out on a limb and just randomly make baseless accusations, despite information being right under your nose telling you the whole story the entire time, which you clearly ignored, then decided to throw claims of conspiracy around purely because you didn't read anything.
90% of the people who are salty complain about things explained multiple times many many months prior to the transition, during the transition and post transition. Including why, how and when. And then they come in and complain that it happened suddenly, and it's just a cash grab, when it really isn't.
You calling it an anti-consumer monopoly just shows how little you know about the circumstances and how salty you are. You really should know the facts before you go off and throw mad tantrums.

Even more so, you're going against yourself saying that people are getting over it, by you staying here being salty

I do know the facts, which is the entire reason I'm here.

My penance is to warn others of this site so they do not make the same mistakes I did.

You do not know any facts, which has been made clear by your posts. And if you keep shitposting like you have been you will be banned.

The attempted slandering is real m8 and sadly a bad attempt at it.

que

Google-fu. You lack it.

But that requires work. Work, I don't wanna do!!
