A majority of my claims come from what I've seen of his behavior on discord and personal experience. I'm not in it currently but the archive on kemono would showcase a lot of his behavior. I've known ploxy since 2017, from his Pokemon trainer comic. So yeah, seen a lot of his personality. But if you disregard me, who's become jaded with him. A majority of the consensus people have, at least here, (other forums don't like him either but I don't frequent those) is that he's a whiny prick. This is just from reading all 28 pages of this thread. None of my own opinion. Naturally since we're all pirates we're gonna be pissed that he's making it so hard to pirate his work, but the bulk of it is his personality. Even us pirates feel empathy for the people currently supporting him, who he's constantly guilt tripping and inconveniencing. This at least, is a universally agreed upon consensus. Though Reichloli explained it better than I did.Hey everyone, could someone please be kind enough to explain the situation with Ploxy to me? I've been supporting for a while, but since I'm not such an old follower, I don't know how you all view him as an artist in general.
I've seen several comments, but I don't know which one would be the right one, lol. I'm starting to feel that what has been disclosed might be true
Nvm wasn't reich, it several others who said it before and I got mixed up.The point I was making was more so how ploxy at times, don't know if he still does it now, would hold his own content hostage and guilt trip his patrons about it. He has always made relatively simple loops but would at times be like "oh well, my patreon goals are low so unfortunately we can't have an animation this month, sorry guys, if only more people were paying me" or something to that effect, as if his furry content and animations weren't the reason he was relatively popular in the first place. It's like shooting yourself in the foot constantly with that guy.
ThisUgh, forgot he used to do this shit. Always left a bad taste in my mouth. He'd hold them hostage in tiers too; "If X people pledge, we get an animation a month. If X more people pledge then we get a coom loop. If X MORE people pledge, we can get sound" and there'd be months where we'd 'miss' the goals and were hit with the reminders.
I know that's standard Patreon/Subscribestar procedure, more income means they can do more things, but few were as in your face about it as Ploxy. Don't get me wrong i've supported him for a while, at least as far back as the Gardevoir comics, but the guilt-tripping crap was a sour spot for sure.
Lastly thisPloxy is a very particular artist who basically went from just general pokemon porn artist to over the top and very vocal shitposter to trying to appeal to too many groups while doing less and less furry/pokemon while trying to force genshin impact and ultimately becoming his own weakness because he can't just stick with a specific theme, and now has a voting system where there are just so many different groups of people with different tastes voting for so many things that only the most overrated characters tend to make it past the first round. Doesn't really give people much of a reason to stick around when you're stuck shit posting your own content because le funne /v/ memes when he made deception worse and worse to appeal to the shitposters who were making fun of his comic rather than laughing with him about it and meanwhile every month tends to be vastly different in terms of content. He acts like there's some sort of secret code he cant crack as to why he cant be successful and then basically makes it known he's doing it essentially for just the money and continues to lessen the content he does and essentially holds it hostage with substar goals.
Meanwhile other artists just do what they want to do, fuck the support, and find success doing it. Dimwitdog drops a near 5 minute video of an umbreon getting railed out of nowhere thats blowing up, zonkpunch continues to drop 3-5 minute videos even after losing who knows how much from a long hiatus due to family stuff, canaryprimary be making their spot on replicated style videos that are popular, but god forbid ploxy just bunker down and actually do something without requiring his fans pay him like 4k a month and low key blaming them for not empowering him with funds. I genuinely believed if he stopped forcing stupid faces that ruin the porn for the sake of comedy and stopped holding himself back under this weird notion that there arent enough fans to support him, he could just simply find success doing what originally made him seen in the first place, animations and sequences of loops, or even an actual video with different loops and progression like it seems he wants to do but "muh goals and profits, totally can't do it guys."
Oh, I see. Yes, I have noticed the behavior you mention, and I can agree with some of the things he does that are disliked. I like his animation style and the effort he manages to put into it, but it's true that his personality leaves a lot to be desired.A majority of my claims come from what I've seen of his behavior on discord and personal experience.
