Though the artist themself marked this as General on FA, I did indeed spend an inordinate amount of time staring at that thar plumpy dumpy, examining every penstroke for the slightest trace of genitalia. Having found none, I decided to leave this post unmarked, racy though the art undoubtedly is.

Part of me agrees with your assessment, and wonders whether the line on questionable content is indeed stricter on Pawb than FA or E621.

The other half of me views asserts that such a shamelessly uncovered hind is not out of question for general-audiences content (e.g. cartoons), views such nudity-dissonance to be an unavoidable part of the Anthro-version experience and its accompanying jokes (“chicken breasts” is another obvious one of the same vein), and fully insists that the general public needs to see dat ass for their Furry exposure therapy.

Truly, I am torn.

Synth Orca? Duuude that’s so cool 💖

Good on you for personally commissioning art, SolarPunk is awesome 💚💛

Hey, it was a fresh new Lemmy community, just waiting to be Konquered

afaik Imgur stuff stays up forever, unless the post is copyright-claimed, NSFW, or otherwise violates the content policy

I think you meant to post this on WAMfurs, oopsie

EDIT: changed my mind, it is indeed a Furry version of said photoshoot, under my own rules I stand corrected <3

EDIT2: Commissioner’s upload confirms it’s based on the irl photoshoot: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38641791/

Whoever said they were non-functional? Perhaps his tail is prehensile. Perhaps he can grasp objects with those little pincers, shuffling objects from his tail up to his neck, like a conveyor belt made of Xenomorph flesh.

Would make a neat party trick, surely.

Honestly, I disagree – a dissolving sand Apple evokes less “exciting showcase of future Apple products” and more “slight existential dread”. Unless they were intending for an artsy Warhol “it just looks cool, no meaning behind it” thingy.

Either way, I’m glad Cider improved it 👍

SF has had a lot of stuff added since 2019, but fulfilling Tier quotas, Space Elevator parts & M.A.M. research should be enough to baby-step you through it. And of course, there’s no real time limit (especially once you’ve got coal power running).

If you’re feeling genuinely stuck, try:

• using the Codex (O on keyboard) to help plan factories
• physically making in-game plans using Signs (buy them in the Awesome Shop)
• read up on the official SF Wiki https://satisfactory.wiki.gg (may have minor spoilers)
• exploring the island for biomass, Crash Sites, caves, collectibles, etc.
• use online tools to help you plan factory throughput (e.g. SatisfactoryProductionPlanner.com & the Interactive Map)

Time to find some HDDs for alt. recipes :P

Leaves without giving Mal0 a hug? That’s just rude >:C

Auto same-URL crossposting, on top of auto-hiding crosspost dupes on the main feed? Dang, Lemmy just gets better and better 💖

I’d suggest the crosspost button instead (copy icon between the “Save post” star and the “More” ellipsis)

Very good analysis of Furry from the outside, nicely done 👍 Some thoughts I had as I watched it:

• Most of the pearl-clutching about Furries seems to come from Puritan countries, esp. USA & UK. Other countries? Quite the opposite. Examples off the top of my head:

  • Orangina citrus soda (French ad agency FFL Paris)
  • German beer Füchschen (literally, “Foxy”)
  • Mexican baseball mascot lapdancing in the crowd

• Notions of “children”'s mascots almost never occur to any of us Furs, except for the obvious Rule 34 moments. It more feels like, without consciously thinking about it, my childhood interests grew up with me. Does nostalgia play a role? Perhaps some unstated rebellion against squeaky-clean Puritan and Corpo media?

• Xenophilia & neophilia are probably the strongest drivers, conscious or not. Every day in this fandom, someone comes up with something both strange and wonderful.

• Accordingly, Furry art is a wondrous baptism-by-fire of Queer acceptance (also conscious or not), especially regarding body-positivity. As one gets used to seeing an 8-foot fox with 3 pairs of watermelon-size breasts & multiple tentacle dicks, the discomfort of trans and intersex bodies falls away. (I admit to my shame that transmen once made me uncomfortable; Furry art slowly slapped me out of it.)

• It’s both flattering and amusing to have “deeper meaning” / “deep sense of self” ascribed to our silly cartoon animals. Most days it feels like Furry simply is, no hidden depths needed. Is all art like this?   “Just shat out this portrait of some lady over the weekend, it’s whatever” ~Leonardo da Vinci, probably

Art.

I said “Python developers”, not “python developers” :)

Also it’s the artist’s fault XP

Retehi the Coyote actually, not Wile E. Still adorbs tho <3

Agreed, HelixJack is almost exclusively Toony style. Though I disagree about Trunchbull – though it’s been a few years since I last check their gallery, what I’ve seen from Trunch is either a style imitation of Kemono Inukai or a more painterly style possibly inspired by early-mid 20th-c. pinup paintings.

This one in particular though, being a very straightforward Furryfied version of something, I obv had to post here :P
