“the website” I kept referring to last week, furryfinity, –which I don’t like to mention by name on my own website but I am going to show pictures of other people naming it so I suspect clearing up what I am talking about may be useful– THIS week had its email addresses swiped and its domain redirected to its twitter account that had been fully compromised by some person posting alt right hogwash, arbitrary racism and illiterate meme kid garbage for a day or so while accusing others of being on the internet too much
it was called a “hack” but the dork didn’t have actual access to the site itself, just whatever could be gained by forcing through bad passwords on email accounts. Since the person hadn’t really hacked anything, eventually control was regained, and it was announced by the furryfinity owners (whose identity is yet uncertain because the previous owner is dead and no public staff list, much less line of succession, exists) like this:
Zero wing is an old corny reference but its usage indicates, even if inadvertently, that no obnoxious memester under the age of 30 is presently in command. I am sure those who criticized my illustration last week (there were a few, as usual from people I never would have heard from UNLESS I did something they didn’t like)) would point to this event and my continuing to use the website as proof that I should be more reverent of the administrators, whoever the heck they are, but really this shows how poorly they protect the website. They couldn’t get it back without waiting on the registrar. And doubtlessly neither could I in the same situation, but I am also not running a business through bimshwel.com nor begging for other people to bail out my business, so I have less obligation to the people paying me and less of a target on me for idiots committing crimes unrelated to copyright infringement for fun.
THAT site had been compromised loads of times while the previous owner lived and it still happened now that he is dead. The core data wasn’t accessed but only because the “hacker” was an idiot more interested in trying to impress users of the Kiwi Farm weirdo documentation/abuse forum (who weren’t impressed) with what he put on the twitter account and promote crypto currency scams (that nobody bought into) than doing actual damage to “the furries.”
this announcement seems to indicate that Rob Schneider was responsible. Apart from the age-related notice I just mentioned.
Several morons, two of which I literally never heard of and who don’t watch my page, tried to hijack my joke with lower effort references to more contemporarily notorious actors, then one mega moron who posted a huge what looked like a south park screenshot who i muted just to get it off my update feed, like they think I’ll thank them, delete my post, and then post their version instead with a credit or something. I prefer schneider for this since I have a longstanding disdain for his career, even before he became a republican bullet point shill. If I went with anyone else it would have been Marlon Wayans since they were both in about as many bad movies as each other amidst the same period but he hasn’t been nearly as awful otherwise.
Schneider also specifically “starred” in The Animal about a man (him) who inadvertently takes on animalistic traits and I can theoretically imagine him resenting furries for not making it as big a winner as non-existent film critic david manning proclaimed it to be. The best thing this movie did was right this moment making me remember fondly a time when artificial journalists actually got credit.
fricken and look at this picture. He looks like he should be on a bag of Hot Fries at a crummy convenience store, not enormous cinema screens. He looks like he should be doing blood-thinner commercials with Arnold Palmer except they got Kevin Nealon for that and Arnold Palmer is dead anyway. He looks like a Rankin-Bass christmas special puppet after half a century in a non-temperature-controlled storage unit. He looks like half a Dom Deluise, mass and charisma-wise.
then a day and several hours later Rob Schneider endorsed Trump for president, because obviously that is what’s going to do it, so suddenly I was informed that
it reminds of some local eminently teasable kid who became notorious after he proclaimed “YOU may have the muscles but WE have the brains!” and possibly whoever was antagonizing him thought it was so funny that there was no need to continue. Trump’s support base HAS to be a cult if they are willing to start pretending Rob Schneider has ever done anything positive and that anyone criticizing Rob is now the enemy who must be irascibly taken down. Or at least this one twit is banking on it so he might get his very first retweet. It looks like he’s been trying a while:
so I wear the world’s dorkiest, conformiest sweater to balance it out
