      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.

    tfw you live with your parents, the door isn’t locked (could be dumbness, or parents being shitty about locked doors, as seen by mother entering the room without knocking), your screen is facing the door, it’s daytime, your mom is at home a lot and doesn’t knock and you’re drawing extra-spicy porn

    anon is an idiot.

        anon’s parents are idiots for raising them with no secure personal personal space. I know of no more certain way to churn out a certified freak.

          They also raised them with no situational awareness. Being this kind of dumbass will likely hurt them far more in the long run than being a ‘certified freak’.

            The kind of situational awareness you describe is wasted on people who would do best by changing their situation entirely, or whose parents need a wake-up call to realize that its time to learn to knock.

            “certified freak” is also relative. If I met them, while we couldn’t bond over deer vagina, I would probably just see them as a suitable new friend. Their parents, on the other hand.

            Hell, if their parents met me, they might be more thankful for the spawn they have by comparison. I would do my best to make sure of it.

              Situationial awareness is still necessary to recognize what kinds of situations are problematic and how to stage a wake-up call. Assuming anon is a teenager, there probably isn’t that much they can do to change their situation entirely.

            Step one: Have no similarly-aged sibling. It’s fairly unusual nowadays to share a room with a sibling that’s much younger than you, and a significant amount of people are only-children.

      My door growing up couldn’t even latch, much less lock. Though I was smart enough to ask my grandma if I could have my late grandpa’s giant old desk so that I could put it in the corner of my room and nobody could see what I was looking at or doing.

    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

      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.

      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.

        I didn’t even know what it was supposed to mean. Pronounced it like it was a German word.

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

        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.

    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.

            My mother was neck deep in “Satanic Panic” propaganda. Literally thought Pokemon was “Satanic.” I think the thing that set her off was the Japanese-style art, and Japan isn’t majority-Christian like the U.S. is.

            Don’t think that by explaining this I’m trying to make it make sense. The “sense” train derailed long before, but even more so when she decided that Pokemon had wiccan influence (which, by the way, isn’t the same as satanism, but again, it’s a foregone conclusion that none of this made any sense) for some random fucking reason.
