I don’t know how I ended up back here, and I feel like a sadsack for it, but I have to point out that you’re complaining about finding lots of porn on a porn site. What did you expect?

I know you (to all haters, including those in favour and those against Jay Naylor) have the right to express yourself, so does every human being, regardless of how crazy they dress for conventions, or their sexual orientation, nothing changes that fact. but everyone also has the right to be treated equally, so your opinions are fine, but please don’t go making stereotypes, saying “everyone that likes this is a loser, a freak and is disgusting furry fan” or “you are jealous of him, because blah blah blah…”.
Someone stated earlier “people honestly think furries are worth defending?” and to answer the why? the commenter suggested there: because they are also persons, people, humans with equal rights, as i have said above.

Better Days is a webcomic with it’s own story, characters and everything, so why do the self-called critics in the comments say this is complete and utter bullshit, epic blunder, however you want to call it. when you don’t state why, or base that in your opinion against furries, the comment is not useful and is just rage inducing to those who take them seriously. If you want to actually convince someone the comic’s a waste of time, then at least SAY your reasons, no matter how daft they are, don’t throw this kind of SPAM around without at least explaining.

everyone keep saying that Jay Naylor is a man who can barely take criticism, but IMO it is that he can’t take THIS kind of criticism, the criticism that is based not solely on the comic’s content and quality, but also on the genre, category, etc. of the webcomic. I agree he is a man who is hard against the ones who go against him, or the ones that tell him what he should and shouldn’t do. But i think the reason to this is that people who criticize his work on blogs, websites, and related media, portrays his work as shit. don’t get me wrong, It is bad to do what he does. But the comic is not directed towards “professional” critics, he does not seek approval from bloggers or critics. (kind of like the Resident Evil movies, according to most reviews, it is a complete fail. but in the fandom, the movies are relatively good received.)

Finally, if you want to analyze deeply into the comic, like another commenter said he likes to do (not directed to him), do it, but you should also think why do you want to do it. Is it just because I like psychology, or I want to learn more about him? or are your intentions more ill-oriented, and you want to find flaws in him?
also, Jay does use his comics to express his world view, and all that philosophical stuff and you can see it as bad, good, strange, whatever you want, but his work is artistic, so artist express themselves in their work, and don’t say it’s bad to do it because it’s a comic, it’s still art.

Right. Everyone is immune to criticism they don’t like. George Lucas tried that and fucked up the new trilogy as a result. You’re either a funny troll or a complete moron.

EmiKO, art, movies, politics, etc are ALWAYS under criticism of an audience of various education, experience, etc. So what’s the point of creating something without taking heat for it? We, as an audience, have a right to portray strengths and weaknesses of a creation because how the hell else is a writer, artist, director, etc supposed to learn from their mistakes and make them better or go with what works? This is in general, of course, since a majority of “artists” aka, furry artists, ignore all criticism and take it as trolling, kinda like you.

Speak to a black man attending Georgia as compared to Stanford. Big difference.

Actually, I am a moderate conservative that supports our troops, isn’t religious, believes in Capitalism, law, defense, and immigration legally (plus i have no problems with homosexuality, personal choice, etc). If Fisk were a hippie, this would be far worse than it is. My issue is that with all the conservative and religious undertone in this comic backed up with spontaneous sex between multiple partners and the overuse of objectivism, it makes this comic one big hypocrisy. Religion is over-spoken with birth control and sex in high school before marriage? Give me a BREAK (not saying sex before marriage is bad, mind you).

Look at e621, look at just about every furry comic out there, look at the fans and how they react to criticism. This isn’t some fucking lie or trolling, this is proven FACT. IT’S ALL SMUT. It’s a life of sexual gratification using anthromorphic creatures. It’s not special or any different from a guy into elves sexually, for example. He is not being small-minded, but you are from your lazy blind obliviousness to the reality of what the common furry fan is. And he is right, you can love it, but others won’t. Be grateful he acknowledges that at least otherwise I would agree he was being small-minded.

Furry fans have the most explicit and comical nerd rage out of all the geeks and losers of the world. This is their life, not just a hobby. That’s why they freak out when their lives (porn) are attacked

An ultra-conservative that believes in sex before marriage. That should have said enough to realize this comic is complete and utter bullshit
