/vore/ - Vore Board

Normally I nuke request threads, but faf is a douche.

After like 3-4 years, The ending of Bad Maid 2 comic was released publically, since he tags every single version with an id to bann who shares.

The vore scene was ATROCIOUS, after everyone wanting to see it so badly, it was one of the biggest let downs ever. I see why he didn't want anyone to share it.

Honestly don't even want it for myself, just don't like the thought of this individual getting paid for this content, especially in the way he wants to be. Just seems scummy, I think paywalling 'art' in general is abhorrent and would never do it myself, but this kind of anti-consumer scheme is the worst and is sort of a slap in the face to any artist in the genre.

"I think paywalling art is abhorrent" is a stance i think you should re-evaluate my friend… what ALL art should be free? theatre? paintings? video games? movies? porn?

Then you say it's "a slap in the face to any artist in the genre.".

Other artist are not being hurt by faf, they do not give a shit. Artist just want to get paid my dude. WE are actively slapping them in the face by sharing their paid shit.

and yes. faf is a massive cunt.

>I think paywalling 'art' in general is abhorrent

Bad take. There are good ways and bad ways to do paywalls

Good ways to do paywalls:

1.) Merchandise: packs or comics specifically made to sell, fine as long as you're also putting out other free art

2.) Early access: letting people see new art long before it goes public (but it will eventually go public). Should be worth saying that it shouldn't be a massive delay - some artists advertise "early access" when they've been keeping art behind the paywall for literal years, it's especially bad when the artist doesn't put out much content in general.

3.) Premium/Bonus Content: giving people who pay in the ability to see WIPs, vote on future content, make requests, have members-only streams or recordings, members-only Discord servers, access to high resolution files, and/or the working files.

Bad ways to do paywalls:

- Disappearing behind the paywall, not releasing anything public besides advertisements for your paywall, you're not going to gain a following, you're not going to attract new viewers/customers and you're more likely to get your content pirated.

- Being extremely anti-consumer, witch hunting for "leakers", enacting group punishment on customers

- Selling content sight unseen, without any description of what to expect in terms of subject matter, or how long a comic might be

Faf falls under all of the worst kinds of paywall behaviour.

It's just my opinion, I don't think you should have to share your art publicly, but I think you ought to. I have no qualms with early accessing stuff or doing commissions. I think artists should be able to get paid for their work, but hoarding it for monetary gain makes you less of a person in my eyes.

I don't care how controversial that is, I'm a person of principal, so I'd never expect someone to have to pay in order to see anything I've created either. Art for the sake of art and all that,

This sums up my feelings rather well, and is why its painful to see the bad ways transition into just plain self destructive practices

Artists get paid because people want to see us succeed and provide MORE content that they can enjoy. Selling it like a product / service / resource isn't the root on why art is "purchased". It's an inflated niche that is fabricated out of information and creativity.

People pay artists money for the same reason you put coal in a train-engine to run. Objectively-speaking art (things like video games, tv, movies and images) has no material value. It can be copied, pasted and remade endlessly- especially online.

Faf hurts everyone (maybe just microscopically for now) when he makes the art itself a product that he then sells slowly and with legal-threats to ensure their worth/value.
