>"friend" artist gives me the impression they barely get by and may soon lose their job, purchase commissions and donate to their Patreon to help them out

>realize they are using that money to support other Patreon artists and purchase overpriced import anime toys

Why do furries do this shit? If I give someone money I can barely afford to let go of out of pretense only to see they're blowing it on crap, I get pissed. This is way too common. It's the Allan syndrome, but it's not unique to him. I can't tell you how many times I see artists posting "I'm about to end up on the street" beg journals only to brag about their new TVs or whatever 1-2 weeks later and no one ever calls them out. Fap material must be so precious, despite the internet being packed so full of it that if no one made hentai ever again you'd still have 500 years worth of pics to beat off to, that they will let artists swindle them.

Begging Patreon bux so you can support others on Patreon in return is bullshit.

I mean come on OP, you should never take anyone's ebegging seriously, unless you make lots of money yourself giving to random people is just silly.

I just never donate to anything so I'm never outraged by the stories of iphone sandwiches and 25k coffee machines.

However, I admit it's scummy to be an ebegger too, I have a Patreon and I get $9 per video which I greatly appreciate but I never claim like 'oh I'm not gonna be able to make rent' and shit.


 No.38786

Most people are completely incapable of handling money. Usually if you give someone a fat stack of cash, they'll immediately blow it on stupid shit and then be back to poverty levels. If they often struggle with money then they'll never learn to save or preserve it instead of spending it the same way they normally would.

Never give money to someone unless you're getting something it's worth back, especially if you do not know that person IRL.

Patreon needs to fucking die anyway. Furries use it as a paysite.

>tfw poor, but also a massive cheepskate

>tfw living in what you consider luxary because you're a massive cheapskate that only buys things on sale, and are actually wanted

>tfw have plenty of money saved up, and all major wants purchased

People need to learn not to spend their coin at the slightest provocation. Buying fur art is a good example. Just simply don't, commissions are never worth it, it's a fucking waste of money.


 No.38840

I'm only bothered by the word "donation" being used to describe it. It's more of a purchase than a donation. It's meant to pay for their time via crowdfund.

They put enough time into their work they can afford luxury, because their audience sees their service as being valuable enough for such wealth. This is not an invalid transaction, and no one is harmed by it.


 No.38841

>>38840

Ah, hit post on accident. Meant to add that in the cases provided in OP, It does harm because it leads the consumer to make a misinformed purchase. I think such users should be banned for ruining the reputation of crowdfunding.

Because they know other people will come through the floodgates to donate to them and eat their shit up no matter what.

Some people aren't self-centered assholes who truly believe the world owes them simply because they exist.

A better question would be: why aren't YOU doing it? Since you seem perfectly fine with the idea of lying and deceiving people for your own personal gain.

Some people in this world find this practice abhorrent and if they even accidentally partake in it, they'd be overwhelmed by guilt.

But yeah, in short: this >>39120

Because it's actually not the easy. Being able to emotionally manipulate people at that level is a skill that, for the most part, you have to be born with. Same as being able to become a CEO or salesperson. It's especially impossible for anyone on the autism spectrum because they can't understand subtle emotions, and so can't lie to people or express themselves in ways other than logic. It also makes them incredibly SUSCEPTIBLE to this kind of manipulation; as they are always literal and exact with their speech, they subconsciously assume everyone else is, too. It means that if someone shows up blubbering about being broke because of whatever reason, they're more inclined to believe them.

Bullshit.

When it comes to money transactions, muh feels shouldn't be involved. Does that make me autistic? If yes, how come I'm one of the least susceptible person to this kind of jewery? If not, how come I don't feel like just lying to everyfuckingbody to get free cash?

And how come someone whose brain only works through logic be emotionally manipulated? At the very least I'd expect a 50/50 split between people who get jewed and people who call out the jewery, but no, it's always a 99/1 split in favor of people getting jewed and assholes getting free money.

>how come someone whose brain only works through logic be emotionally manipulated?

Because they only THINK they're only affected by logic. No human being can completely remove their emotions unless they're full psychopath. Autistic people actually have extremely powerful and reactive emotions, but by the time they are adults they learn to repress them so they don't go around screaming all the time like autistic kids do. Being repressed, they forget they are there.

A good emotional appeal always has a grain of rationality to it, just like a good lie has a grain of truth to it. If you concentrate on that tiny bit of logic, you're fooled into thinking that is what's swayed your decision, when it's really the sob story tugging on your heartstrings, and the logic is faulty. The issue is, the subconscious emotional reaction is preventing you from recognizing the fault in the logic. This is the same thing that happens to everyone, but with autistic people they think they won't be affected, so they can't analyze their own reactions properly.

A normal person might step back and think, "Wait, is this guy for real?" while the autistic person thinks, "My mind only works through logic; I can't be emotionally manipulated."

you're the fucking asshole who brought it in here, "slang" my ass, it's anti-semitic shit you /pol/ fags sling around as if your forced memes held water or were based on facts.

The anon you're replying to didn't write the post you got so upset about. That would be me.

Nobody gives a shit about muh political correctness on imageboards, get that through your thick skull or go back on sites where they give you upboats for your PC mentality.

>Christians are more likely to scam you, if not oppress/kill you.

It's because niggers are "Christians", too :^)

Just about every post you've made is politically charged and it seems you're more interested in that than discussing anything furry related.

Please relax and take the advice you got or you'll start receiving bans for attempting to incite derails.

Makes sense.

Still, instead of complaining on imageboards, I could just scam furries out of their money. But no, because the belief that people should be paid according to their work and skills is so fucking ingrained in my mind and that apparently makes me stupid. It also makes my blood boil.

Having a shred of integrity in this god-forsaken world fucking sucks.
