being marginalized doesnt mean u cant be bad

any except they for OP

[wulferthinger]

oh hey wow cool link detailing the controversies salem wolfertingers been through mainly stalking his rape and grooming victim ex who he abused. please check it out if you wanna spend any time on my blog. thxies

about blog:

mainly a place to reblog salem wolfertinger's controversies and maybe. rarely. put my own two cents in. wont be too active.

I have a schizospectrum disorder and english isnt my first language and thus talk weird. please only correct me if i say incomprehensible stuff or say bigoted or straight up incorrect things (aka if theres grammar errors but you can get the gist of what Im saying leave it be)

I wont be commenting much on topics like his anti-black racism or topics relating to weight, because Im not black or necessarily fat or chubby and thus Id rather uplift those who are than comment on it myself.

Im not interested in redesigning or criticising his ocs, I have better, more original ideas and Id rather not put my art here as an identifier. I may criticise the trends in his art as a whole

anons on for now because I like attention <3

about op:

wulf (lowercase), any pronouns except they (including neos, preferred if u use em interchangably)

adult, artist, furry, trans, mentally ill, plural system, age regressor, psychosis haver, sexual abuse survivor, a lot of the things salem claims as an excuse for his bigotry.

non-american, non-black POC (non-existent according to him), physically disabled, thin but trying to gain weight (partially because I associate weight gain with recovery, partially bc fat people are just hot to me. unlike him I can admit it), openly sexual as a person

you dont need to know my AGAB and I dont use dysphoria or transitioning labels. Im comfortable in masculinity, femininity, any combination or absence of it therefore it doesnt matter to me n neither should it to you

used to be a huge follower back from when he was puppychan up until 2 years ago

I fully believe in recovery, healing, redemption, and that your minority status doesnt absolve you from criticism and active abusers and bigots shouldnt be platformed

its rlly annoying how Salem never just says "I drew my oc in this outfit cause it's cute and I like it" it's always "I'm making SURE I represent the REAL. FAT. PEOPLE. I KNOW. I'm doing my part in making fat people be SEEN." Just say you think impractical clothing is cute asf I like dj's outfit cause I love impractical clothing for characters I love cute over comfort because when it's fictional characters nothing matters. when I give my oc a skimpy ass dress for the winter I don't go I am giving REPRESENTATION. FOR THE ALL THE OTHER BIG TITTY TRANSMASCS. It's just me going yessss my persona is so cute pussy out for the snow!

No Salem art channels giving art/writing advice and advice for growing an audience isn’t lolcow culture,,,

“People should just post what they want!” Is a true statement but sadly that isn’t how you make a following or a career of your art. We do live in a capitalist society, it sucks but it’s what we live in. If you want to make a following of your art and money then there are ways to make that process easier and more viable. Salem is someone who makes most his money of the art he makes, I would think he’d have a bit more sympathy towards artists trying to make do in our society.

Salem making that post is so funny as well considering a huge chunk of his following only follow him because of his infamy of ‘being puppychan’ and Puppychan only blew up because Antoons was a prick to him 😭

Like it’s so funny someone who’s following came from all the drama he’s been in, is acting all high and mighty being like “just post what you want to post bleh :333 and you’ll make it big! :3 bnuny”. Does Salem not realize he’d just be another gay furry artist if he didn’t become infamous on twitter 😭

Why is he bitching about his YouTube recommended again. This arc is boring. But I like how he's complaining about videos that I can guarantee have disclaimers that say "You can do whatever you want with your characters, this is for serious character writing"

[wulferthinger]

lolcowing is when people give advice to people who want it and actively seek it

[wulferthinger]

(anon) oh my god thank you for pointing out the eyes thing. im asian and thought i was losing it for thinking its Really odd how he HAD to point out having almond eyes, a trait that is commonly found in various asian ethnicities... i dont remember his face well but i had a feeling he was straight up asianfishing. hes obsessed with taking asian features/specific charicatures and doing whatever he pleases with them. hes probably going to try and claim hes insecure and has internalized racism about his actual features or something and thats why he uses slanted almond eyes for his sona or whatever. feel free to disregard if this is nothing

its not outright problematic by itself however odd it is, non-east asian people can have almond or upturned eyes (just typically with a visible crease). but from a guy who has faked being chinese before, has dated a white person actively trying to pose as "asian-coded" for lack of a better word to the point his self-insert for her is half-japanese, CONSTANTLY lies about his real life body and conditions, and is otherwise friends with people actively objectifying the east-asian experience? at that point its a pattern and not a coincidence.

no amount of being an "otaku/weeb" can excuse trying to appropriate racial features you dont have

[wulferthinger]

(Anon pls also happy pride month!!)

I understand, wanting to go back and draw stuff that you normally did (ex: straight hair, skinny bodies) because either it’s an anatomy that you’re used to, or you personally only have straight hair, but I feel like the way Salem does it, is just him not trying to restrain himself from wanting to draw that but that’s only my opinion.

-✏️

i kinda get weight because thats an entire body thats already hard to learn as is (still the weights fluctuating AS WILDLY AS THEY DO in his art is weird) but ive NEVER struggled with textured or protective hair to the degree I felt I had to "straighten them out"

and happy pride from your local trans queer :D

[wulferthinger]

on the topic of salem asianfishing with his sona, id like to point out that he a long time ago- like a couple drawings of the truesona in, started giving himself a wide bunny nose and sloped face more akin to a proper rabbits face. made several posts about not being ashamed of his big black nose so he was going to make his truesona have a nice wide nose too you'll notice that immediately after, that nose has been getting smaller and daintier every drawing. so much for big nose pride

for someone who talks SO OFTEN about being proud of his physical traits (to the point he stopped talking about anything else) often he never seems to depict them as they are.

its genuinely sad to see BECAUSE I FULLY BELIEVE HE SHOULD BE PROUD OF HIS BODY as much as I believe anyone else should be proud of their body. it just sucks when he only loves his body in 4 paragraph text posts broken into 12 reblogs that has literally mostly misinformation, but never really SHOWS it in his art

[wulferthinger]

"hey this trans person in actively racist spaces who has a history of fetishizing eastern asian people and pretending to be asian is giving themselves stereotypically asian features in their art again. it wouldnt be far off to say theyre once again fetishizing asian people but in a less obvious way. it reminds me vaguely of this other niche racist trans group that commonly dehumanizes asian people"

"so youre implying you think all trans people wanna be androgynous white anime twinks? you make fun of trans men by comparing them to yaoi characters????"

[fartsstinka]

Salem being “anti censorship” whilst so getting into huge hissy fits whenever someone slightly dislikes or disagrees with him is so funny to me. He’s only anti censorship when it comes to the porn he likes.

[wulferthinger]

Ill say it outright. no carefully crafted leftist lingo -honestly tiring for me to try to make understandable as a schizo bilingual.- as a way to try to avoid flak from people just looking to hate me for criticising their fat fetishist child grooming bunny.

salem is asianfishing again. just subtler and quieter about it this time. why else would he depict his TRUESONA, a fursona meant to represent him in real life as close to physical as possible, have upturned almond eyes that he KEEPS pointing out when he has creased no-cantal-tilt round eyes in real life otherwise

"4chan/reddit user transfem mentality thinking estrogen will turn them into skinny anime girls" ... is this not just copying the "transmascs just want to transition into skinny anime boys" transphobic joke

thanks for finding the worst thing to nitpick my criticism for, anon.

saying sites like reddit and 4chan have rancid trans communities idolizing and trying to transition to anime characters and by extent their idea of an asian person does not mean "all trans people just wanna be skinny anime characters" thats a very bad faith interpertation of my words as a POC trans person actively trying to gain weight.

Ive been in the reddit spaces very briefly, Ive been called cute and called gender envy in very dehumanizing ways and had people come up to me to say "I wish I was japanese so I looked more skinny/feminine/androgynous" (Im not japanese)

they never saw me as just a fellow trans person, they saw me exactly as they see their lil anime mascots (looking at the brown haired menhera chan). as a fictional character and an ideal to "strive for"

not to say these people are only on 4chan or reddit. the internet is a vast place and so many people are shitty in ways they dont realize. reddit and 4chan is just easier to have these fetishizing spaces cultivate due to their site structures and general culture.

being transgender doesnt absolve you of racism. this is part of the entire reason I made this blog. the point was, entirely, "salem is fetishizing his idea of asian people" which he is. I will not be silent about orientalism, especially in queer communities, Im not sorry

[wulferthinger]

upon further examination I take this ask to be bait

bad faith analysis in one short sentence meant to anger and possbly get offending words from my mouth

unfortunately Im very vocal about my experiences with facing racism and how orientalism intertwines with all parts of western culture, including the trans community

[fartsstinka]

anon pls))

i wouldnt be suprised if salem brought back grendal but made him more sex appealing to spite these blogs … i mean isn’t that why he released the sloppy ass paws crossed all of a sudden? he’s listening 😓

[fartsstinka]

am i crazy for thinking salem is insanely exorsexist with the way he retcons or deletes every nonbinary oc he has and then posts about people with "blue hair nonbinary characters" whos characters only exist for authors to say they have representation (hypocrite much). like idk even if he isnt actively hating on nonbinary people its not a good look that his most popular post around the concept of someone being nonbinary is "transbian on cisbian on enbian porn"

He's bigoted towards everyone that's not him.

[wulferthinger]

i’m white and i honestly don’t care if people make or laugh at kill all white people jokes, i just don’t like when salem does because i know he means it as kill all white people except wis. she’s always the exception to his hatred of white people despite her history of past and current racism

majority of his friend group is white and hes constantly defending and siding with racist white people. I get kill all white people as the shout of rage it is but like. he has no space to say that when he actively chooses to hang around white people who he has said multiple times cant even respect him for being black.

its "kill all white people" until its his openly racist white friends and suddenly its "guys people arent racist on purpose we have to teach them to do better. its our job as black(the only POC ever) people. they cant use common sense or a search engine 🥺"

I wouldnt be surprised if he feels like hes on hostile grounds in his friend groups and takes it out on the internet. at that point its literally his job to leave and not ours to pity him for

Today I was drawing one of my GNC characters who is a man (not a trans man) in women's clothing and such. I was just minding my own business, drawing my precious OC, and when I finished, for some reason I remembered Salem's OCs, especially Hitch.

I used to know Salem VERY VAGUELY. I'd occasionally come across their drawings, and they drew well, and I really liked their style. But for some STRANGE reason, I never liked Hitch. Never. And I have pretty low standards when it comes to liking a character. I don't consider myself super demanding. I'm not interested in a character having a super complex purpose or a super complex personality. As long as the character is coherent, I'm happy and satisfied. The thing is, while I was drawing my OC, I was thinking about Hitch and how, well, they were a trans man and all that. I'll be honest here, but at first, I didn't think Hitch was a trans man, not because there weren't trans men who looked like Hitch, but because of how it was written or something like that. I could never, honestly, and I say this as a non-binary transmasculine person, see Hitch as a trans man.

My problem with Hitch is that, from my point of view, he seems more like Salem's fantasy than a representation of transmascs or trans men who don't identify with the male binary. I swear, he seems more like a sexual fantasy. Hitch's character revolves around being a cute, chubby guy, and that's it. Nothing more. And it doesn't bother me that Hitch is like that, it's just that, from my perspective, he's so sexualized and even fantastical. Hitch seems more and more effeminate every day (that doesn't bother me. I'm AFAB, I'm very feminine. I wear dresses, I wear makeup, and I love looking feminine) that he's WAY too far removed from being a trans man. It's like, I don't know, slapping the "Trans Man" label on an AFAB character without any attempt at writing behind it. And I don't know what Salem's problem is with masculinity, or why he doesn't like it, or whatever, but for me it wouldn't be bad at all if Hitch showed certain masculine traits (not in his appearance, it's not all about looks) and had a stronger and more coherent personality beyond "cute fat guy with boobs and pussy uwu".

I thought of all this because I was drawing my OC who is a very feminine, cute, and chubby man.

(I'd like to hear more opinions on this, because I find it interesting to read about queer identities that don't align with the gender binary or established social constructs, primarily those imposed by patriarchy. I hope to receive different points of view, and please, if you debate how I see Hitch, do so respectfully!!!! I used a translator and I hope you understand!!!)

🐱🎀

I agree with you 100%.

In my eyes Hitch is basically a manic pixie dream he/him. Everything about Hitch, as I was going to say in another post but axed because I had soon realized it was irrelevant, bears a striking resemblance to the "Born Sexy Yesterday" trope where someone (most typically a woman) is intentionally written as naive and childish yet still sexually appealing. It would be fine for him to be feminine, but the thing is, that's all he is character-wise. Idk. He's just a pin-up that's been given life and, I must reiterate, chose to be a boy.

[fartsstinka]

salem having over 50k followers and snarking at someone for liking his past art better is so funny. Like you know you can just not answer them right. not everyone is gonna like everything you do and when you post it and repost it 10 times you need to accept that and move onnnn instead of letting these things upset you over and over

i assume there was a language barrier and their comment came off harsher than intended? for someone who is always wagging his finger at others for observations he makes he is really quick to jump the gun and assume the worst about people. it only took me a second to deduce from "unick astetic" that this person probably has no idea their comment seemed rude

It has to be some sort of punishment ritual. "If you don't like EVERYTHING I DO, then I will publicly embarrass you. If you don't like my big titty beige rabbit, YOU ARE LITERALLY CONSPIRING WITH KIWIFARMS TO MURDER ME PERSONALLY!!"

[wulferthinger]

Hmmmm, I wonder what racial minority commonly stereotyped as having "almond shaped eyes" Salem might be fetishizing and acting like he has similar traits to.

whats with non-eastern people wanting to be eastern asian so bad.

oh wait I do its that 4chan/reddit user transfem mentality thinking estrogen will turn them into skinny anime girls seeping into the wider trans community

this is orientalism, nothing more
