Well, since I seem to be getting over an illness, and I'm feeling all rialed what with work imploding and the World(tm) and all, it's time for a rant on two topics.
First, a sadness. Yes, it makes me sad. Not angry, or irritated, just...sad. I remember, being's a youngin'...or youngER at least...and watching cartoons and even taping them in hopes of finding some nice stomp scenes. Of course, being young and stupid, it was almost cool because it was a challenge, and heck, before porn started to flood the Internets, it's the only way I could get stompy stuff. But what did that boil down to? Basically, being a second-class citizen, trying to scrape away goodies from Society(tm) that were for me. And sure, porn is porn, but...look at it. Nipping at the heels of society NO JOKES PLEASE, and hoping us lowly macrophiles can get something to enjoy.
Naturally, I decided to do something about it. First, by making LD5, and second, by making stuff that's fucking MACRO already! A nice macro-oriented muck, and Faibanx 3D. No longer did I want to settle for "Look at how I can almost do macro stuff in this game/program!" Enough of trying to get Second Life or UT or gmod to do something it's not really designed for. I want to create a macrophile multi-user simulation program...and trust me, it's not dead. I've already done a sweep of the resources I've collected over the years since the last demo example program, and it won't take me long to put out another proof-of-concept.
So, even while I try to get Faibanx 3D in order, it saddens me when I hear people all excited about how you can stack growth/shrink powers in Champions Online to try and simulate macro stuff. It's like I'm trying to open up a Red Cross station to feed the masses and some wretches come up to me after shuffling through a garbage can showing me all the moldy food they just found to eat. It Saddens Me(tm).
But enough said on that. Only way I'm going to fix this macrophile problem is to work on F3D, so it's just up to me to make it happen. But it's similar on topic to another rant I did on Faibanx earlier today. And that's the sad state of macrophiles at cons.
Now I won't name any names, of course, but there was a time, again when I was younger, that there were no furry khans. Furries were this looked-down-upon group of people cowering in the corner or the back rooms at sci-fi cons or anime clubs. So what did they start doing? Well, thankfully they started to grow some spines and be almost proud of what they were and started cons.
In the early days, as I recall, they embraced the true nature of it: it was a sexual thing, and it was for adults only. Somewhere along the way, though, probably due to incidents with authorities or just plain fear, they apparently decided to make it appeal to 'a broader audience' or whatever they like to say to avoid issues. Of course, being a lazy person myself, I don't entirely blame them, but it's like a gay pride march where no one would be allowed to show public affection and only show how gays were good at cooking and interior decorating or something. Let's face it, you can't argue it -- FurAffinity is around for PORN, not for meaningful development of socio-economic strata. And (sigh) YES you can be all serious and deep while twisting in your lust for hoo-has and ding dongs, and that's fine, but the point is still the ding-has.
Anyway, I just find it irritating that even apart from furries having cons up the wazoo now, how are macrophiles (and pron-loving furries) viewed? Oh, they're still huddling in the corner, in the back room, FORBIDDEN (say it like Jor-El) to be viewed by the general public. Still the second-class citizens. Still in the closet.
And yes, what saddens me most of all is that one of the guys who runs the biggest furry khan...a guy who used to take me to the 'back room' at anime meetings to show me the furry stuff when I was young, and invite me to sleep over at his place and look at a book of macro pr0n he's collected...he pretends like he's a pure soul who's a notable public figure without any deviance whatsoever. Does his wikipedia page say what a famous pervert he is? No, it makes him sound like fucking Mother Theresa!
And NO, I'm not saying everyone needs to dance around flailing cocks or anything. Of course I don't flaunt macro crap at my workplace. But if I was in charge of holding a khan that was supposed to be a place where I'd feel welcome for my desires...well, having it all just be a glam-sham-wing-dang-doodle farce where you STILL have to feel guilty is not what I'd do. Taking down a third of the Berlin wall doesn't really cut it.
Finally, no, I still have a lot of respect for the guy. Even though he's a virtual doormat NO JOKES PLEASE just so he can be in the limelight and have arr-teests lavish him with porn -- behind the scenes, of course -- when I think about it, I guess I'm still disappointed in the decisions he's made. Yeah, I know, there's plenty of argument the other way...but still, I'm not wrong, am I?
And no, I won't use a cruel, despicable, but I think very appropriate and dastardly clever stab/joke and reveal for certain who I'm talking about by nicknaming him "Uncle Tom"...but I sure would like to. Meh, but like I said, I'm just full of piss and vinegar today. I think I gots the menstrual cramps real hard.

And I make giant stuff in SL all the time! Sure its not NEARLY as big as I'd like it to be, but 75 feet or so really adds up when everyone else is a midget.
However, since I got the cool Orson Wells clap gif, that makes up for it. 
But to reply to Razor...uh, I thought I made it clear I wasn't advocating we wear the
