Someone once told me that it's "classist" to advocate for people to have indoor cats because you need to buy them lots of expensive toys. Marcel has been playing with the discarded stem of a fresh green bean for 20 minutes. 🤷♀️
In long, VR creators are just trying to live in unprecedented times like the rest of us. They exist in a scary new space that people haven't normalized spending money on. Peeps gotta get paid if we hope for them to stick around. Always support small creators acting in good faith if you can!
But... when you try to use some of these big company leverage tricks to drive down piracy suddenly you start to look not so different to some people, and that is the core of what hit the Druffle team. It's important to remember that these anti consumerist steps hurt everyone. Nobody liked it.
When you pirate from a massive company they feel nothing, they assume that this sort of thing happens and the cost is built in to those that DO pay. But for a small creator the math hurts a lot more. So I do beg people who pirate models to consider buying them properly if they like them.
As the 48 hour Druffle gate news cycle comes to an end (in the best way it could, good on them for that) I feel like it's worth highlighting something that most creators uncomfortably understand and just deal with. It is _impossible_ to prevent having your avatar shared after it is bought. 🧵
Thoughts on the Druffle avatar, apparently the DRM thing is real despite claims it wasn't, but on top of that, I talked directly with one of the people involved in creating the avatar and they had no idea the DRM was a part of it until the day of release. Not a good look.
So I worked on my Druffle edit for almost 16 hours by now and I'm just NOW learning about the security issues and vibe codes? Like come the fuck onnnnnnnnnnnnuhhhh 😭
if this isnt a red flag idk what is. also in your case, try deleting the unity install (not the projects) and reinstalling it. worst case the projects if you kept them separate should be unharmed save for the one you put the druffle into. its why unity keeps project files isolated from each other.
unity shit itself when i imported the new druffle and nothing fixed it it corrupted my project, unity, AND vcc, so all my shit is just gone
Check out these Tos too. This DRM is hella sketch and I will not support the Druffle or make assets for it until this is removed and we can purchase the avatar in a traditional way.
an avatar in 2026 requiring discord account oAuth through a (seemingly) vibecoded plugin that reads sensitive data all the way up to your PCs TPM is WILD I was curious about the druffle, but DRM bordering on kernel-level anticheat is NOT something we should be comfortable with
Jerry from accounting bought it, said he's going to throw it in a river to "return it to it's natural habitat"
Pokémon Fishing Contest DS, which was briefly available in Japan for a few months back in 2005, only lasted on your own handheld until you powered it down. Now, a Nintendo DS test cartridge holding files for the long-lost game has sold for over $9,000. https://bit.ly/4w3GLYn
Reading the earliest chapter 5 ideas when I made it up in like 2016
The Nintendo Switch 3 is going to come pre-installed with a "How to insert cartridges into the system" video since way too many of you just aren't getting it.
please deprioritize twitter and use other social media
This fandom has a lot of parasocial interactions, which leads to people inflating their egos and attention-seeking and they will eventually do things for clout to keep fueling that attention-seeking behavior. Almost a majority of these people in the fandom take their limelight WAY too seriously.

I remember a Pittsburgh news outlet writing an article: "Oh great. A bunch of dirty, smelly, rude, sex-crazed animals are converging on Pittsburgh to get drunk, trash local establishments and assault innocent locals. But enough about the Kenny Chesney fans. In happier news, the furries are here!"
Places directly outside furry conventions: The Faggots have shown up why Are They here. Places near Anthrocon: Fuck yes the animal people are back. They have money. Rename the streets. cover our walls in your gay ass stickers. 14% ABV Wolf Piss slushy $11. we Love You

No party campaigned on age verification. Nobody the US voted for this. Nobody the EU voted for this. Nobody the UK voted for this. Nobody in Australia voted for this. Some don't even know it's happening. Meta lobbied for this and got their way within a few years. Let this radicalize you.
Huge L for the government today. In fact, you could say a huge L L for the government today.
