I like raccoons. Raccoons are cute (That’s right, furries: It’s possible to find an animal cute without wanting to fuck it). As such, I also like pictures of cute raccoons which show cute raccoons being cute, like this one:
This article is not about these pictures.
I did some kind of test, which ended up becoming a sort of experiment in torture: I typed “raccoon” into the DeviantArt search bar. The results were horrendous. I’d like to show you them.
Raccoon In A Bikini by ~hollyann
Oh, look; it’s a raccoon in a bikini. The only good thing about this picture is that it doesn’t show an actual raccoon wearing a bikini.
A Raccoon by ~minnagowaseiryuu
What are the artist’s thoughts about his nightmarish piece of cookie-cutter inflation art?
Raccoons make good balloons *giggle*
MINNAGOWASEIRYUU, YOU SICK CYNICAL BASTARD.
Raccoon Kombat by ~FriskyWoods
We’ve moved from one fetish to another. Why is there a green raccoon? And WHY THE FUCK DO THEY WEAR DIAPERS? Not to mention that the joke is unfunny, and the distinct lack of “kombat”.
Remember: I found these pictures by simply searching “Raccoon” on DeviantArt.
Raccoon by *WereKatt
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
But seriously; her “head” looks completely deformed due to the horrible photomontage. Her eyes and mouth are aslope in comparison to the “nose”, and the “ears” are completely misplaced. Fuck you WereKatt, and fuck this awful Photoshopped abomination.
Ristin Raccoon by ~ozkangaroo
Of course furries have to ruin everything. This… I’m guessing, “guy”? He looks like he’s eating out of a trash can, so he associates with the “real raccoon environment” – despite the fact that he’s standing on two feet. The creator of the fursuit also takes fursuit commissions with a price of “$1300 – $2000″. What the fuck? Well, with such a price I guess the guy wearing this fursuit has been already punished.
Bottom line: Fuck furries.
I don’t care what you think about Werekatt’s racoon photomanip, I think it is pretty cool. Werekatt’s great at photomanips.
I do love racoons though.
@Nathan F: We don’t care what you think about Werekatt’s pathetic photomanip. It’s fucking terrible. Werekatt is awful at art. We do love raccoons, though. They are certainly more adorable than “racoons”, which you reference twice in your comment.
@Habermann: Werekatt’s photomanipulations are NOT pathetic, he is one of the best there is when it comes to photomanips, you should have seen his old site on transfur – it was the best tf themed site ever.
And if you don’t appreciate it, then shut the fuck up.
@Nathan F: lol u mad? And what the fuck is “transfur”? A site for transsexual furfags or something? Seems appropriate that an untalented animal-fucking hack would post his middle-school-grade “art” on a site like that.
@Habermann
I’m not mad but clearly you are. Yes, Transfur is a transformation based site but Werekatt is NOT untalented neither is his art middle grade school as you put it.
Here is the link to his old site:
http://web.archive.org/web/20061213092813/transform.to/~werekatt/start.html
On this very site he has various screencaps from transformation themed movies as well as tv shows, comics, and cartoons, video games as well as various artwork he and a bunch of friends did and very clever photomanipulations including one of Carmen Electra as a tigeress.
You know what your problem is? The problem is that you simply need to get a life, you’re just a jealous wannabe who has no talent of their own.
@Nathan F: lol. You’re just mad because you had to get told TWICE about “Fair Use” before it sunk into your thick skull that our reviews can’t be taken down.
http://forum.deviantart.com/community/rips/1443279/
http://forum.deviantart.com/community/rips/1439813/
You can defend your e-friend’s third-rate photomanips ’til you’re blue in the face, but you can’t change the fact that what we do is entirely legal, and that his “art” does, in fact, suck. And besides: You’re sounding more like an advertisement for him [by posting links to an archived page of his and praising other specific works of his] than someone who can actually be bothered to write up a legitimate defense for his works.
I know what fair use is. You’re as entertaining as a bad Jay Leno monologue.
@Nathan F: Of course you know what it is now: A system administrator from deviantART had to explain it to you in front of your peers and make you look like an idiot.
Habermann@ Sure it’s fair use, and you credit the artists but it’s not good credit – you give them bad credit in the form of oh too brutally honest critique. I don’t know who you think you are, but you are NO Siskel, Ebert or Roeper.
If you’re going to credit the artist, why not just say something nice about them rather than being Mr Nasty about it?
On the other hand, you might one day be the next Howard Stern.
@Nathan F: Are you saying the internet should only exist for positive comments and circlejerking, and that negative criticisms have no place?
In the full version of your recent journal entry where you copied and pasted the bulk of this new comment from (http://drmusic2-1.deviantart.com/journal/31374839/), you express your admiration for Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel. Did it ever occur to you that some of the most famous moments on their program were of them mocking awful films, without wasting time having to explain precisely why they were awful? Roger Ebert went so far as to name one of his own books “Your Movie Sucks”: A quote he had made in a review of a film in which he does not even acknowledge the film itself. That’s pretty much the ultimate expression in groundless hatred. Not to mention, you reference MST3K, which spent entire episodes making wisecracks and personally insulting actors / directors without going in-depth about the cinematography of the films they talked over. Clearly, the only reason you’re upset about our review in particular is because you want to fuck Werekatt.
Not only are you as boring and delusional as other patrons of our fellow internet have revealed you to be (As you’ve made mention of in your incredibly egotistical journal, seen at http://drmusic2-1.deviantart.com/journal/31374535/), but you are also a hypocrite. Stop quoting excerpts from your own journal entries, and stop waging wars against every website that dares to state opinions you don’t agree with.
@Habermann, listen i am not gay neither do I wish to fuck Werekatt. Werekatt already has a fiancee – and she also has her own site on DA.
The way Siskel and Ebert do it was in a professional way, they actually KNEW what they were doing – unlike you. I have read Roger’s book as well as a few other movie books he’s written.
MST3K was a fun show, the only reason they mocked movies was for pure fun and entertainment only. And besides it was only the really bad movies they mocked which were mainly all b grade sci fi and horror films. It is also well known for originating the term Nightmare Fuel which is known used on sites such as TVTropes.
I am not delusional or egotistical, i’m actually a pretty nice guy.
@Nathan F: Why the hell do you need to mention random facts and trivia whenever you make references? Do you have aspergers or something? If so, you are subhuman, and are incapable of having the emotional capacity necessary to be a “nice guy”. Nevermind the fact that having to reiterate the point that you are a “pretty nice guy” over and over again only goes to show how egotistical and self-centered you truly are.
And before you even try bothering to reply, i am quite an avid reader – I have not only all of Roger’s film books but i also have read Bruce Campbell’s autobiography If Chins Could Kill as well as Make Love The Bruce Campbell Way, I also thoroughly enjoyed Jay Leno’s book Leading With My Chin.
Listen, you can write all the reviews you want, but don’t be surprised if a big lawsuit comes up.
Also a lot of my friends, and my family think i am a nice person. I have donated to numerous charities.
@Nathan F: And what exactly will I be charged with? I thought you told me you understood the concept of Fair Use. Clearly, that was a lie, like the myths that you aren’t egotistical or delusional.
PS: If you hate Jay Leno’s monologue’s so much that you compare them to our articles, why’d you buy his book? Furthermore, why are we supposed to care what books you own? How are they related in any way to the discussion at hand? Keep your aspergers in check, bro.
Possibly all crimes against humanity. I do understand fair use and that’s no lie. I just wish that you’d understand that.
You can’t just judge a book by it’s cover, it is what is on the inside that counts.
Actually I do NOT hate Jay’s monologues, I think Jay is a great comedian, very underated. Jay’s book is a rather entertaining read.
@Habermann
You want to hurt me? Go right on ahead if it makes you feel any better. I’m an easy target. Yeah, you’re right, i talk too much, I also listen too much. I could be a cold hearted cynic like you. But i don’t like to hurt people’s feelings. You can say what you want about me, i’m not changing. I like me, my friends like me, my family likes me, because i’m the real article – what you see is what you get.
@Haberman, look if you truly love racoons then you’d love them no matter how they’re represented in art.
i talk too much
@ Nathan F, I don’t know if you’re mentally challenged, but let’s just make this clear to you:
1. Your friend’s art sucks. It’s bad. It’s done poorly and half-assed and looks that way, too. I can say this as someone who DOES photomanipulations and deals with photos in general as a living: it would take me five minutes in a cheap paint program to hack together such a junky image. I’ve seen better work tutoring kids out of highschool who haven’t even touched a computer before except to print out goddamn book reports they’ve typed up. The fact that you think it’s good only displays your ignorance about photomanipulation and nothing else.
2. There will be no lawsuit and there are no crimes here. This is criticism and making mockery of poor art. If he (I assume gender) hated Monet, he’d be perfectly within his rights to post Monet’s art here to mock it. No one from Monet’s family estate would have any legal right to debate its posting. If a famous artist has no legal rights to complain, why the hell would your hack with no real attention apart from his close friends be able to? Your friend posted his art on dA which follows the laws of the USA — according to section 107 in the US Copyright Office’s laws, this falls under fair use and is thus legal. Metokur.org is cleverly behind a Privacy Protect so I’m unable to lookup what country the website is in, but Fair Use is pretty common across the world. Either way, it translates to “chill the fuck out, Nathan.”
3. The world isn’t fluffy kittens and butterflies. Pull the stick out of your ass and realize that people have different opinions than you and that it’s no one’s responsibility to tiptoe around in case they hurt someone else’s feelings. Unless you’re twelve, you have no excuse for the butthurt other than being a childish prat. Also, no one gives a shit about what you read, what you own, or if you donate. Hell, no one cares if you’re a “nice guy.” Also, this isn’t your art. If your friend has problems, let HIM come and post and bitch about it instead of you white-knighting for him. Only the copyright holder himself can deal with copyright issues; you do not hold your friend’s copyright to his art, do you? If not, the correct response is to bugger off.
@ Haberman – This site is awesome. Keep going, and ignore fucktards like this.
Right on, Nathan! You show these jerks who’s boss!! Sue them for all they’re worth!!!
@Lmte
Thank you. Finally, someone on this site who is actually sane. I love animals all the same, especially koalas and pandas. And even if someone does a third rate photomanip of someone turning into one i’ll always treasure and respect them.
I mean so what if someone doesn’t know how to do a snout or beak when they do photomanips of someone turning into an animal or bird? That has to be THE most difficulting part of the photomanip.
@Henry
If you think you’re so good at doing photomanips i’d like to see you do better. Come on, put your money where your mouth is.
@Henry
1. So maybe my friend is no “Piccasso” or “Rambrant” , maybe he’s not a “rich sucessful millionaire” or “famous”. Well maybe he’s not “the norm”, maybe he doesn’t “do beautiful paintings” or even “work at an animation studio” , and maybe his work is not “perfect” or “award winning”, but it is good. So maybe he’s not “a cartoonist” or an “animator”. So maybe he can’t “create a mastepiece”. It doesn’t matter if the art is good or not, we can’t ALL be as good as Matt Groening can we? His photomanips may not be “masterpieces” or even “art museum material” but god damm it, they are really clever and one of the reasons why i admire his work so much.
2. While I cannot argue with you on legal terms, I’d have to say that no matter what this site was put up to do, it is no purpose other to mock “bad art”. I mean, come on if you think you guys can do better then I dare you to try.
3. I DO realise that people have different opinions and i respect that. And you’re right, the world is not all sunshine and butterflies as you put it. The world is made of several different things. But the bible does say…”For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” It’s not the quality of the art that matters – all that matters is that they pulled their heart and soul into that piece.
@Habermann
If you think you can do better than I dare you to try and do a photomanip. Come on, put the money where your mouth is.
Or are you chicken?
@Lmte
Thank you. That is what i am here for. For whenever a fellow DA artist is being ridiculed by some dick who has his own “blog” , I will be there. Whenever someone’s reputation is being ruined on this site…i will be there, whenever Habermann publishes an offense article I will be there.
Remember if you ever get sick of this boring old hellhole you can always visit my blog at:
http://madworldofdocm.blogspot.com/
APPLAUSE PLS!!!
This is funn
D
Yep, it is.
@Habermann
I’m going to defend Werekatt here again and this time without pointless pop culture references as you put it.
Look it doesn’t matter what you think about it. That’s just YOUR opinion which doesn’t count for much.
This isn’t grade school, when something sucks, it just sucks. There’s no personal best sticker.
@Antony O
That may be so but that doesn’t make it right.
Hey Nathan, your mouths dirty. WASH IT WITH LEAD
Sounds like Nathan needs some .50 caliber aspirin
oh my god, that photomanip is horrid.
and Nathan, google fair use, critique is a fair use of material.
The sole decent piece on it was the tail but then again, how hard is it to fuck up the tail?
Nathan F everyone on the internet knows you are a loser, your family knows you are a loser, YOU know you are a loser. Do yourself and everyone a favour and crawl into a fucking hole and die.
@anonymous
Technically are the bigger loser here, not me. In fact i saw you on The Biggest Loser just a few weeks ago.
You make the contestants on The Biggest Loser ALL look like winners. Get creative with a razor blade and your wrists please.
@Anonymous
What? No way. Sorry i’m not an emo. I’m not into that stuff.
Nathan F we’re running a pool on why you are so fucked up, could you answer some questions?
Were you Molested by a fat, hairy man as a child?
You must have been molested by somebody.
@Anonymous
No I wasn’t. Anything Encylcopedia Dramatica says about me is a lie, nothing like that happened. This interview is over.
@Nathan F: How can you call the ED article a bunch of lies when the large bulk of the article consists of your own quotes, complete with screenshots? You think that just because you start taking down journal entries when ED starts reposting them, you can pretend you never posted them in the first place? You’re the biggest liar of all here, telling people you were born as an imaginary monster and then having the balls to tell people that you weren’t born as THAT imaginary monster, but as another imaginary monster instead! Own up to your own fucking lies, and stop blaming the Internet for all of your troubles.
@EDiot
Typical EDiots. Sorry i have the “say you opposite of what you mean disease”
Do you have Herpies too?
It’s likely the fat man who molested you gave you an STD in addition to your severe psychological problems. Even though you’re probably never going to have sex, you should still get tested.
Uh noooooooo….i don’t.
You don’t have sex? We knew that already: Your mother edited Encyclopedia Dramatica to say “Nathan constantly masturbates to ‘uncle Buck’”.
Back on topic how did you get to be so fucked up?
Technically it’s never built to really last, thus i see no point in it. Please no more stupid questions about how “fucked up” you think i am.
No everyone KNOWS that you are fucked up. There’s no question about that. The question was how that happened.
Was the fat guy who molested you Australian? Is that what the Koala pictures are all about?
@Anonymous
Look I was NOT molested, I do NOT have herpes, and I am NOT fucked up in a way. I became a weregrinch after Jim Carrey bit me.
And I just happen to like koalas, they’re my favourite animal and they are quite underated. Certainly better than any of those ugly ass animals you or anyone else here likes like snakes or weasels which suits Habermann perfectly.
“Look I was NOT molested, I do NOT have herpes, and I am NOT fucked up in a way. I became a weregrinch after Jim Carrey bit me.”
C’mon Nathan, everyone can tell both those sentences are bullshit.
@Anonymous
Tell me, are you the kind of guy who believes everything you read on ED? If so…if ED told you that you should jump off a cliff, naked and with no parachute would you do it?
