I don't even mind some of the bugs, I'm just mad at "oh go grab an identical vase to that last one but from someone else's house...congrats now you're the leader of the thieves' guild haha." Gone are the days of going through someone's crawlspace to loosen a few bolts and drop a giant stuffed moose head on them, and why the fuck did y'all change wabbajack?!

Surely you can see that dressing up as a character like that is different from furries. First of all, there's a lot more people that do that specifically for "halloween" or "for this photoshoot" or "for a con" than "let's go to Target on March 07th dressed as Slave Leia and do creepy stuff" which, yeah, I'd have similar questions about wtf was going on if that was a thing that ever happened. Like yeah if I go to comic con or whatever and people are dressed like comic characters? Ok. If I go to furcon or whatever and see furries, cool. If I go to the coffee shop and see either a furry or someone being creepily sexual as some comic person, you betcha I'm equally creeped out either way. Idk why it seems to be hard for people to parse.

"Ah, you vill not judge me for my kinks, bleh bleh bleh, vatch me suck ze blood from my victims in public, I don't care if you think ve should take it somewhere appropriate! Watch us do ze Mash, ve do ze Monster Mash right here in front ov everyone."

And yeah probably but that's less funny.

Wait, so you're fine with domestic abuse, racism, and making creepy unsolicited comments to women and girls, as long as it isn't in public where you're subjected to it but kept behind closed doors? Huh, well this took an unexpected turn. So, you're one of the nazi furries I see.

Most of society is saying that men doing those things is bad and they should stop, not using them to justify their own immoral behavior subjecting others to their kinks without consent. "Criminals rape people so I should be able to ignore consent too" really isn't a great position to hold.

Btw, sexual assault, racism, domestic violence, and catcalling are not "kinks," something is seriously wrong with you. CNC is, but the first C stands for consensual. Raceplay is, but that also is only between two consenting adults, the rest of the train doesn't need to hear you call your SO the N-word. BDSM sometimes can involve slapping or paddles and the like, but again that is between consenting adults, the train does not need to watch you smack your girlfriend around even if she says "thank you sir may I have another." Catcalling, idk, humiliation or praise kink I guess? Still only ok between consenting adults. Seeing a pattern here? CONSENTING ADULTS. Your absolute disregard for consent is frankly concerning.

That might be part of it, I have to admit people who want to fuck rainbow sprinkles or whatever that MLP horse's name is are also similarly creepy to me. I almost can understand if the cartoon is more humanoid but, like people who were going crazy over rule 34 of that cop rabbit? Dude..little weird, and not in a good way.

I agree those things can coexist, but when for a significant portion of the people it is sexual it is going to taint the meaning naturally. Especially if there's not really a clear delineation, like for example: diapers. There's many people (guaranteed most diaper wearers and I'm only talking adults), for whom it isn't sexual. If you see an old guy with a puff in his pants, you can assume pretty well he just medically needs them. But it's pretty easy to spot someone who, instead of needing them, is one of those ADBL guys if you see them on the subway. For furries, they all look the same, there is no "tell" like a bib and pacifier. If there was, I'd only be creeped out by the sexual ones, but I just can't tell, and the pageantry of it all just makes it all feel more like the ADBL crew.

Oh no I'm not saying "no kink allowed ever," that'd be crazy! I'm just saying "keep kink behind closed doors (at least reasonably, like, a sex club is technically 'public' but it's obviously OK, I mean like not at the park lol.)" Fair about McDonalds haha I haven't been myself in years, just an example of a public place where it's reasonable not to be subjected to others' kinks.

Yeah I do also think the vampire fetishists are pretty creepy, or can be especially depending how into it they are. Bloodplay is actually one of my few hard No's (along with scat because ew, and gun/knifeplay because not "safe"). But if they just want me to wear a cloak and bite their neck a little, and maybe say "I vant to fuck your butt" in a fake Romanian accent, I can work with that (well, can I without laughing remains to be seen lol).

Lol, the stabbing part was more of a joke, and as I said that isn't exclusive to furries but anyone with a full mask/full costume, but since furries fall into that category they're included, the anonymity does make it hard to report things, (which IRL would probably be like they grabbed someone's butt or something but sexual assault isn't as funny as stabbings as far as jokes go).

Very true, but it seems like it's a larger proportion than normal, though I must admit that could simply be because there are more say comic fans than furries, so the nazis are better drowned out, maybe. Still though I've seen enough that on the rare chance I do see another furry in the wild (well, I'll probably just stay away, but barring that) I'd have to figure out if they're one of the horny or racist ones before I feel comfortable with "ah no they seem like a...well not normal person but at least they won't hump my leg or bust out a 'roman salute.'"

How does that even work, btw? The nazi ones are all blonde dogs? Do they hate people who dress as rats/mice? Do they say "the scalies will not replace us?" Lmao sorry I can't resist making fun of nazis here and there haha.

I've said multiple times that this applies to all people, I even included an example of a straight couple exhibiting similarly creepy behaviors in my very first comment.

Frankly it only applies "more" in that there are more "straight people" than furries (which, by the way, is not a sexual orientation. First of all if YOU are to be believed "it isn't sexual" so how the fuck can it be a sexual orientation? Hmm? And second of all there are gay furries and straight furries etc, the sexual orientation is separate from the type of BDSM, latex, fursuit, or leather dog mask and chain an you're wearing.)

Narrow nothing, kink is fine, but it isn't appropriate in public. You just want to subject people to your kink against your will (which btw flies in the face of safe, sane, consensual.)

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Kissing and holding hands are widely accepted for straight people to do in public even amongst homophobes.

Amongst non homophobes, this extends to homosexual people.

Wearing fursuits, BDSM leather, latex, etc, is a large sexual step above kissing and holding hands, and are not comparable to those regardless of the sexuality of those kissing, can we at least agree on this? If not we have nothing further to discuss.

Here again in your last bit you attempt to paint me as a homophobe. I have a feeling we're done here dude, you are just full of bad faith arguments and hot air.

In my experience the kind of communists who want to shoot all the anarchists have a detailed knowledge of the history of shooting anarchists and talk openly about the fact that they'll shoot all the anarchists.

Yes, and the one time my mom caught me sneaking out at 1am when I was 16 was totally the only time I ever snuck out.

She still believes that one, too.

Kink in public being gross isn't just a me thing lol, it's a pretty widely shared opinion, just because you want to subject others to your kinks doesn't give you an automatic "I'm not being a creepy gross asshole free" card.

Again, I'm not saying we should imprison them or something like you seem to think, I'm just saying you're gross, creepy, and an asshole for subjecting people to your sexual behavior in public.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 7 hours ago (5 children)

Exactly, trying to paint me as a homophobe, by pretending people wearing fursuits is the same as homosexual people "kissing and holding hands" rather than closer to wearing leather or latex. Last I checked homosexuality isn't a fucking costume but by all means imply it, that's your bigotry you aren't aware you have. Again that's on you.

This is a farce lmao, furry != gay, you're operating under a false equivalency, gay is not a fetish and you equating the two is frankly WILD.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 7 hours ago (7 children)

It's not unnecessary, you brought it up! Why do you specify gay people kissing or holding hands then in your previous comment? Unnecessary to you right back then. So much "no u." You can't direct a conversation towards gay people just to claim that the guy replying is unnecessarily talking about gay people, that one is on you.

But yes, straight people, like MY ORIGINAL DOMINATRIX/SUB EXAMPLE, and the video I sent of the man licking a woman's boot, can also do creepy stuff. Try and keep up. Jfc, you have your sights set on trying to pin me as a homophobe so bad you can't see that I've been the one talking about straight people doing the creepy shit all along while you brought up the gay angle.

And because involving people in your kinks against their will is creepy whether your bits are showing or not, exhibit A: man licks boot on subway. Just do that shit in private (or private enough public locations, like a bar, con, club, etc). There's places for that, the subway, park, store, whatever, ain't it.

They were doing that "cute anime girl" type thing, idk, so maybe? Frankly, to refer back to my dominatrix example, I don't care if say this guy that comes up when you search "guy licks boot on subway" insists it's not sexual it's just because he has an oral fixation and I'm just sexualizing it, the people who do it sexual reasons have ruined it for him and it now carries connotations of a sexual nature. So a furry doing odd egirl type shit in public, whether they think it's sexual or not, comes off as such and gives me the creeps. It is what it is.

Gay people can also go way too far with sexual shit in public, there's actually a huge debate within the community about whether or not kink should be at pride events for example, and I'd say wearing a whole furry suit is more akin to wearing leather or latex BDSM gear than "holding hands or kissing," and your example is frankly disingenuous.

Howdy partners, got a weird western y'all might want to partake in here.

Falling In Love On The Path To Hell is a new ongoing comic series being released by Image Comics currently. Issue #4 came out last week, and reprints of 1, 2, and 3 are coming out next Wednesday (10/02/2024). If you're looking for physical copies, here's a site that will help you find your nearest local comic book stores.

The basic story so far, is MacRaith (that handsome devil up front with two Colt Navy 1851 revolvers) and Asami (that beautiful Samurai in the background) die, and wash up with the corpse tide on the shores of Purgatory. They're "alive" however, and get recruited to fight the hordes of hell (who come out every night when the river Styx dries up) by a strange Sikh named Mohan (that feller there with the sun for an eye). Things, however, may not be as they seem, nor how they're presented by Mohan, time will tell...

Content warning: Mature Audiences only. "Sexual violence" has been (almost, it was prevented) depicted already.

ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 09/18/2024 (gocollect.com)
 

New list is up! Let's see what we got this week..

Graveyard Club #1 - R. L. Stein, let's go!

Batman Day 2024 - Batman Elmer Fudd Special Noir #1 - What in the fuck is this? I'll have to get it, it's too insane not to.

Batman Day 2024 Batman The Long Halloween #0 - Heard this Long Halloween series rules, I need to read it, hopefully it gets a reprint about nowish..

Batman Day 2024 Batman The Long Halloween #1 - Well we're part way to a reprint, but I need all of em!

Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees TP - Alright I'm probably not picking this up because I have both the A and B covers of all the singles (not my usual MO), but I'm adding it as an honorable mention because if you don't have it yet you should 100% check this out at least. It's basically cute Richard Scarry style art with anthropomorphic animals, but the lead character is a serial killer. Huge problems arise in her world, can she stop it or not? I won't say, you'll have to read it to find out. I hope this gets picked up for more issues more than anything else out right now.

Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #4 - This series rules so far! Glad it's an ongoing now.

Ice Cream Man #41 - The series responsible for getting me into comics in the first place. It's like a sad song you can't stop listening to, or a bruise that you can't stop poking, it's depressing but so good. I like how they play with the format, like the issue that was a crossword puzzle, and the one that was all palindromes and could be read both front to back and back to front. This one looks to be a James Bond parody.

Moon Is Following Us #1 - I know nothing about this but it looks interesting.

Tin Can Society #1 - Might pick this up, the cover is intriguing.

Epitaphs From The Abyss #3 - Well issue 2 was better, but it's still no Creepshow. I'll continue it for one more at least. Looks like there's two new EC titles coming out soon too, a new SuspenStories and a new Weird Fantasy, both called something else but similar, of course.

Looks like that's it for me, what're you pulling this week?

Into The Unbeing Part One #4 - End of the road for this one. It's been interesting so far, some spelunkers going into a "cave" that may actually be a "head of some giant creature." I'm actually one behind but I'm going to read it here in a minute, just picked it up.

Groo Minstrel Melodies #1 - Idk much about Groo but I did read Mad back in the day, so I'm grabbing this.

Time Waits #1 - Idk much but DSTLRY stuff is usually worth a look.

Batman Gotham By Gaslight The Kryptonian Age #4 - This one has been alright so far.

Space Ghost #5 - Zorak is here! I love Zorak lmao, I can't stop thinking about The Brak Show and Space Ghost Coast to Coast while reading this and tbh it's a big reason if why I'm reading it haha.

Ain't No Grave #5 - End of the road. This series has been great, I like these weird westerns.

Geiger #6 - Hooray for Barney!

Precious Metal #4 - This series is weird as shit and I like the art.

That's it for me this week, what about you?

Subscription issues? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Anyone else having an issue where they have to resubscribe to a community every time the app closes? For some reason in eternity it keeps unsubbing me from !c/comicbooks@lemmy.world every time the app restarts itself, and I have to go resubscribe. None of this actually affects my account, I guess, because when I sign in with other apps I'm still subbed to it, eternity just removes it from my subs on boot and won't show the content in my subscriptions feed. Is there any way to fix this?

GoCollect Blog: ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 09/04/2024 (gocollect.com)
 

New list is up! Sorry I'm a day later than usual, I was "really sick" yesterday (totally not hungover if my boss is reading this!)

Let's see, decent list for me this week:

Animal Pound #5 - Last in this series, it's been great! A modern retelling of Animal Farm by George Orwell

Minor Arcana #1 - Jeff Lemire back at it after the conclusion of Fishflies. Flishflies rules, this sounds like it'll follow the trend. A woman who's mom is a psychic (but she never believed that much) has to move back home and take over the family business (or something like that). Turns out there may be something to it after all...

Dawnrunner #5 - End of the road for this too but I hope it gets picked up, eldritch kaiju vs mechs with consciousness and pilots.

Helen Of Wyndhorn #4 - This series has been great too. Helen's father, a writer, dies and she has to move back into her grandfather's palatial estate. Turns out the fae world her dad wrote "fiction" about is anything but, and she has been traveling through it with her grandfather doing stuff.

Plastic Man No More #1 - Idk much about Plastic Man but I've heard it's funny, I'll give it a shot.

Blood Brothers Mother #2 - Good western! I'm definitely going to finish this one out.

Cruel Universe #2 - The first one was great, hope that continues!

Well looks like that about wraps it up for me. Pretty excited about all of these! What're you pulling?

ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 08/28/2024 (gocollect.com)
 

New list is up! Good one for me this week!

Batman Off-World #5 - This is still running? Bout damn forgot about this one!

Convert #1 - "Science Officer Orrin Kutela finds himself stranded on a distant planet, starving and haunted by the ghosts of his dead crew. On the verge of death, he makes an astonishing discovery. Veteran writer John Arcudi (Rumble, B.P.R.D.) and illustrator Savanna Finley bring you a sci-fi/fantasy comic like no other." Sounds interesting enough!

Drawing Blood #5 - Drawing Blood! Raining Blood plays. Kevin Eastman rules.

Sacrificers #11 - Sacrificers! Pigeon has been fucking shit up, Soluna is having a rough time, can't wait to see what this issue brings!

Universal Monsters Frankenstein #1 - The Creature reboot was good, I'll try this one too.

What're you pulling?

ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 08/21/2024 (gocollect.com)
 

Fresh list is up! Looks like a short one for me this week but that's ok!

My Bad Escape From Peculiar Island #4 - This one is stupid and weird and I've been digging it, Thomas Jefferson vs some guy lmao.

Epitaphs From The Abyss #2 - This one I was so excited for the first issue but instead of having good stories it felt like it was just preaching to me sponsored by the DNC. It doesn't matter if I agree with many of the "lessons" they were trying to "teach me" either, it felt very condescending in a "hello fellow kids" way like some kind of food pyramid comic from the 90s. And the icing on the cake is the goddamn "weird fantasy" reboot Cruel Universe had "scarier" stories than this "horror" reboot! I'm going to give it another issue or two but this might get dropped pretty fast.

Standstill #1 - Not gonna lie I'm only slightly interested in this but since there's not much else for me this week I may check it out. Guy steals a time stopping device and commits crimes, the inventor has to stop him. Could be good though, we'll see!

That's it for me, what's on your lists this week?

Help burning CDs? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I'm having an issue trying to burn a music CD for use in my (very old, I know I know) car. I'm running FedoraKDE (40) and Brasero, a Liteon brand external optical DVDRW drive, CD-R (TDK brand), and a Framework 16.

The issue I'm having seems to be that the blank disks(maybe?) aren't recognized automatically by Fedora, when I pop a full commercially released CD in it'll play/rip, but with a blank disk nothing happens, and I don't know where to "save" the "image" of this album I'm creating in Brasero to get it on the disk.

Someone on a random linux forum told some other guy to run cdrecord -checkdrive which says my drive is at /dev/sr0 with a blank disk, but that's as far as I've gotten. Do I choose sr0 as the place to save it? It says "something something overwrite" when I try which makes me wary, it seems it wants to overwrite "sr0" itself and either bork my drive or install, but maybe?

I'm positive it's just something simple I'm missing, any help would be greatly appreciated and I can answer questions and run commands if needed (but I don't actually have WIFI rn, so I'll have to have the package for said command already.)

Thanks in advance.

Current best lemmy clients (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Hey I figured I'd make a post and see the state of current lemmy appage, since I'm looking for a good one. So far I've used Jerboa, Thunder, Eternity, and Voyager.

Eternity seems to be a dead project, it's full of bugs and hasn't recieved an update since The Exodus

Thunder seems ok and is what I'm using right now, but I can't seem to send direct messages, and can't "Don't blur NSFW preview on NSFW comms" which sucks. The messaging is the dealbreaker for me.

Voyager I used momentarily but the UI was not my favorite.

Jerboa seems OK if unpolished (which is ok to me) but I don't trust the rabid idealogue that makes it and using another instance of his site is one thing, but installing an app is another. Has it been audited to confirm lack of spyware?

Ideally through this I can find one with instance blocking, DMs, and a decent UI. What're your experiences with the current state of lemmy apps?

List is up! Come amd get it!

From The World Of Minor Threats Barfly #2 (Of 4)(Cover B Evan Dorkin) - Our protagonist Shiteater is back in issue #2! And I love Evan Dorkin.

Into The Unbeing Part One #3 - This has been weird, I like weird.

Batman Gotham By Gaslight The Kryptonian Age #3 - Some decent Batman so far. Idk what elseworlds is actually, but this is that.

From The DC Vault Death In The Family Robin Lives #2 (Of 4) -Great old Batman! Need more classic rereleases like this, I've missed all of them.

Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #3 - This book is fucking cool. No two ways about it. So cool in fact it's now billed as "Your new favorite ongoing" by Image, looks like it has been extended, and I'm here for it! Issue #5's teaser says "This series is stabby, shooty, and horny, and you know you need it," and that's a pretty good summary lol.

Geiger #5 - Super Fallout Man vs The Cannibals in a quest to save his dog. Let's go! Get your dog back buddy!

Precious Metal #3 (Little Bird Series) - Issue #1 was actually my intro to the Little Birdiverse, but I now have all the back issues. I think I'm going yo finish out Precious Metal since iirc it is a prequel, and then start on Little Bird.

Dick Tracy #4 - Been digging this one.

That's it for me this week, what's on your list?

Way to log start up? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Is there a way to log all the stuff on start up to a text file so I can read it? It goes by way too fast! Mine shows some blue warnings but I can't read them.

To be clear I mean the part that explains what is starting or failing, like if you hit [ESC] during start up or don't have plymouth, not the plymouth splash screens.

ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 08/07/2024 (gocollect.com)
 

List is up! Short one for me, but that's all good!

Lester Of The Lesser Gods #3 - Last one of the series, this one is truly stupid, but it gets at least one good laugh out of me every issue so far

Ain't No Grave #4 - This series is great, dying cowboy lady on the way to kill death.

Space Ghost #4 - Space Ghost rules! I wish there was a fake funny letters column in the style of Space Ghost Coast to Coast but can't win em all.

EC Cruel Universe #1 - It's here. I was actually pretty disappointed by the first Epitaphs of the Abyss, I'm gonna give them both a few issues, but I hope it gets a bit better. As for Epitaphs if it stays the same I'll just stick to Creepshow (which is amazing and getting a Vol 3 this fall!) so no love lost!

That's it for me, what's on your lists?
