An important update:

Due to a specific person being a complete child, comments are going to be screened by default.

This is only temporary, and I apologize for the inconvenience- this is going to be a pain in the ass for me, too, but multiple people have come forward about fears of doxxing, and this is the only way to make sure any doxxing is contained.

(This basically will force the doxxer to make a DW account to post any doxxing attempts unscreened, and will let me more reliably report them to DW staff/authorities.)

Again, I apologize, and will be working to unscreen comments as fast as possible, but I'm only one person.

(Vasemod has had some personal issues come up, so I am the only mod atm. Please bear with me until this bit of annoyance has passed.)

It's sad to see people can't even post in semi-private discords without dramamongerers. Do you know what a joke is.

OP

They don't want to be identified by their typing style. Given that this whole situation is about Weevil's friend group harassing someone on site, I felt harassment was a valid concern.

Hey, it's perfectly fair to bring out new evidence of past crimes, especially when they act like the did nothing wrong. They did something wrong. Users have a right to know.

But I wouldn't be so smug in their place. They do it again, that whole incident is probably noted on their account internally. Staff probably won't be so merciful if they do it again.

I just avoid the whole lot of them personally.

I agree it's not a warbonnet, but the hoopoe's crest is sideways. If they did take inspiration from real bird crests, and not Quetzalcoatl alone, I think the red-fan parrot (from northern South America) and especially royal flycatchers (from Central and South America) are good candidates.

'Users have a right to know' except they don't? This is between weevil and Alyx and it's resolved, besides, we don't even know if these aren't edited in the first place.

it's kind of embarrassing how blatantly obvious it is that you guys are part of their coterie of ass kissers. you're all so fucking annoying and i certainly don't want to hear more about your drama either, but the innocent act is making everyone else hate you even more than they already do. please go back to your groupchat, leave all the other servers, and give us some peace and fucking quiet.

AYRT lol my point was not that learning Japanese by itself is bad, it’s that it’s often combined with an almost unhealthy obsession with their culture or people. The people I was talking about that I know personally we’re 20 something white guys who REALLY liked Asian women and watched a lot of hentai.

When the user wronged already resolved it with the people that did wrong, you just look like you were bored and a bit pathetic on a Friday night. 👎

I think you missed the context of what I said. Learning Japanese isn’t weird if you like the language and the culture and want to communicate with the people. Learning Japanese IS weird if you’re doing it because you "identify" as a Japanese person when you’re not, or because you find Asian people sexy and you’re obsessed with them. There’s a line between normal and weird, and the people I knew we’re firmly in the weird territory.

For me, my mind immediately went to harpy eagles which are also South American, but I agree that the red-fan parrot is an even better example.

ok I think everyone who claims "that crest should just be redrawn" has no idea how much work went into this, what an organizing mess it would be, and how much it would even cost.
almost every gene has to be redrawn, and on top of that there's masses of usermade accents now, either submitted, or in the earth contest thread that will no longer work once redrawn. artists that spend the last weeks, months working on the genes will be paid to redraw genes they had already worked on.
removing the fae bulge years ago is an easy fix. redrawing something big like this is not.
"shouldn't be too hard to add more feathers" my ass. especially on the female pose where the crest covers a lot of the back wing.

ngl it's a little wild that you're pulling out "everything is a misunderstanding" in response to screenshots showing that's absolutely not the case

Again, sounds like your run of the mill weeb. They're cringe, but not doing much besides that, because we all know they think "2D women are better than 3D women" or something like that.

DA i tried looking for "fae bulge" in the forums and found THIS instead. apparently there's slight differences between the dressing room art and the scrying workshop/official art.

There was no drama tbh? They just removed the bulge faes had one day and everything was cool, iirc. i also can't even tell you anymore when that was, i'm betting it was at least 6-7 years ago. so if there was drama it must have completely slipped my mind now.
https://www.deviantart.com/neondragon/art/Fae-Dragons-85133674 can't find proper pics, such as old tumblr posts of people showing off their faes, but the old fae artwork undel uploaded on dA before FR was even a thing still shows the bulge.
