qajp threads also had stickies, public bans against anti-anime threads, kemono musume threads moved to /qa/ and even had a hand in getting sachiko on the front page. It's exaggerated claim they "fostered" soijaks in particular when they fostered all groups.

Past that: Moderation on /qa/ had this cycle where a random mod visited at random intervals, deletes everything he personally didn't like, then get his ass blasted when he came back next day and the things he deleted where back. This is the further from "strong moderation" as I'd describe it.
That "personal mod attention" cycle was stable when the board was only 20 retards fighting. When that number went from 20 to 200 stability went out the window. Rampant raid threads ram their course before mods could discover them. If /qa/ had a couple janitors, that wouldn't have happened.

The only people who got strongly moderated were script spamming 24/7. They likely got their browser fingerprinted and singled out for IP nukes. It was less "strong moderation" and more them not realizing the giant BAN ME sign on their back.

"NTA but" is language. An evolution of common imageboard lexicum. The other anon ran the statistics on how it spread

A simple explanation (goalpost moving)
Negev doesn't count because we can put her in an oven.
Kemono Friends don't count because they're Kemono Friends.
Uh, there's probably more. But rest assured the ones that ARE selected by anons are done so out of taste, probably. That is the difference between the unwashed gachasluts and jaypissu's chosen creatura.

Cute! Ganbare, Kemonomimi-chan!

>kemono* hours
Fixed.

Furry is like Western art, there's detail in the face such as the inclusion of noses. Kemono is like other Japanese art: low detail apart from eyes. The difference between a human girl and a kemono is a slightly larger black dot for the nose.

The front page says it's running Vichan, but it's actually running JSchan.

Kemono is basically furry+anime. Kemono artists draw characters with bigger eyes, small snouts and more human features compared to the average western furry art. If furries usually are drawn like humanized animals, with kemono it's the opposite and the characters are "animalized" humans.

>>150312
No, this makes complete sense. Kemono basically means furry, like anime means cartoon.

Kemono is borderline furry anyways

>>150296
Yes, this is definitely kemono and not furry. I am being entirely sarcastic. This is one of their banners. There are furries all over the site. If the admin doesn't want furries he may need to reconsider if maybe he is a furry.

>>150296
This is shown on the board background as part of the board CSS. I would normally call this furry. How they differentiate furry and kemono?

>>150291
>>150284
Eh, this is semantics.
I've looked through all staggering 48 posts on the board and it looks like kemono to me not furry.
The fact they the admin says they don't want furries in is enough for me.
Furry is disgusting.
Kemono is cute.
So I will yurusu.

>It's explicitly not a furry imageboard though
but it's all furry images, even the background image is a furry.
It's a kemono board in name only as is, that's a furry board.

>>150266
Interesting
It's explicitly not a furry imageboard though. I was expecting /trash/ but it's cute actually.
>So, like furries?
>Yes, and no.
>While the kemoner (jap. ケモナー — "kemono fan") community shares the core subject and has some similarities with its western counterpart, it came into existence and developed independently, and has significant cultural differences, most easily recognized by the art style, but going far beyond that. ... In fact, as there is already no shortage of places and communities dedicated to the western furry works, including imageboards, please, avoid using this website for sharing or extensively discussing non-kemono works.
But you are right It is too obscure of a topic to sustain a whole site I think.

is this the first mainstream full kemono gacha character

Kemonomimis in the bath:

Is that a twitter screenshot of a texting conversation?

It's a bit misleading because of the few Touhou events that happen every year. Unless those were cancelled? I doubt it, though.
It's pretty much a new era with Korean and Chinese gacha and global vtuber stuff and well... I don't like it, but you kind of just have to accept that the world changes as time passes. I strongly disagree with the Japanese on this, but that's how it goes. It started with the boatsluts and Fate gacha stuff so this is just a natural reg-, er progression.
There's still a bunch of good stuff coming out, just a smaller percentage that I'd be interested in. Even Kemono Friends technically started as a gacha so theoretically something good can come along again.

rare doujinshi kemonomimi loli pout

e621 (the major furry booru) just did a complete purge of all "young humanoid" stuff. https://e621.net/forum_topics/45501
That's a bunch of Pokemon and kemono stuff wiped out I'm sure.

I'll do one better than just watching the new monogatari for myself, I'll make sure I take all of /qa/ with me! Going in Nisio order I'll be streaming all of the Monogatari series starting next Friday, and continuing every Friday and maybe occasional Sundays up until we're finished going in arcs. First two streams will probably be the longest and be all of Bakemonogatari on Friday 5/10 @ 6:00PM EST, followed by all of Kizu the next Friday 5/17 @ 6:00PM EST. The others I'll do based on what feels right.

DON'T MISS IT

I'm nominating Sengoku Youko for the stream in advance. It's a great manga by Mizukami Satoshi, the same guy who made Hoshi no Samidare and Spirit Circle.
You may remember Hoshi no Samidare from around a year ago in the stream (it was called Lucifer and the biscuit hammer), but that was just a really shit adaptation of another great manga, however, looking at the PV and studio (same studio that did utawarerumono!!) for Sengoku Youko, it will probably be a really good adaptation this time!
Anyway, Sengoku Youko is overall a serious story, with a lot of emotional moments, but all the characters interact in pretty fun ways most of the time. It's both dramatic and fun, so it'll probably be really good for the stream.
Also it has a cute kemonomimi girl

>Okay, but do you mean koo'ohn, kuwon, or kwon? Could be any of them!
THOSE ARE ALL THE SAME!


>For you, what does it rhyme with?
Um... uhhh... what rhymes with kemono friends... See mono trends?

I.. I'm sorry. I tried to read through this, but it's like.. it's like advanced math being explained to an elementary school kid when there's a cool dog outside the window. I read through the sentences but no neurons were linked inside my head.

>~ ⟨/qa/non⟩ (419, but only 53 prior to 2020)
>This one's ambiguous because it could either be k'non /kəˈnɒn/ or cue-anon /ˌkjuː əˈnɒn/
KUON! It should be pronounced Kuon! OH MY GOD THE SIGNS WERE THERE ALL ALONG!

Personally, I liked /qa/mono friends since 4/qa/'s rebirth and the release of Kemono Friends somehow happened at the same time.

##### Monophthongs
#####

Monophthongs have a general trend towards being open, sitting at the bottom of the mouth, save for the schwa which is central. All of these sounds are similar to the single /a/ phoneme found in other languages, such as Japanese, in for example kamikaze's /ˌkæmɪˈkɑːzi/ (also ⟨/qa/mikaze⟩ (2)) and viceversa. Also visible in taco, parmesan, aficionado, etc.

~ /æ/
¥⟨/qa/t⟩ (48), ⟨/qa/ptain⟩ (18), ⟨/qa/pitans⟩ (4), /qa/ng (7) [both gang and kang], ⟨/qa/ncer⟩ (136), ⟨/qa/ggot⟩ (68)
Extremely straightforward, basically THE a-sound anyone first thinks of, it's not even necessary to provide a transcription. All closed and stressed syllables.

~ /ɑ, ɒ/
¥⟨/qa/mrade⟩ (17), ⟨/qa/id⟩ (9), ⟨/qa/di⟩ (6)
I'm here bunching together the PALM and LOT/LOCK vowels, which are free and checked respectively, regardless of length because of the father-bother merger affecting a great deal of dialects, which has combined the two into an unrounded /ɑ/ that is actually moved quite a bit forward in many cases. It's rather complicated, this video explains it alongside another intersecting merger:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sALAE6iqLWk
Moving on, comrade starts with /kɒm-, kɑːm-/, depending on the dialect (like calm). The other two words are rather obscure Arabic terms, the first one (also written as caïd) has a hiatus in the middle as it's actually pronounced /kɑːˈiːd/ or /ˈkɑː.ɪd/, while qadi is simply /ˈkɑːdi/.

Got sidetracked by some games and Lala, but back to sculpting.
I'm like 40% happy with the feet and don't want to obsess over them, so I moved on to lower leg. After messing around with the geometry I looked at a bunch of leg diagrams and remembered that there's actually two big calf muscles back there. It's something you never seen in real life in women and very rare in men, but realism is not my goal so I decided to do a danbooru search for "muscular_woman" and "butt" because it seemed like the easiest way to see the back of legs. ("legs" is not a very good tag)
Of the 90 pages I did see about four images with the distinction made, with one of them being a Kemono Friend of all things, so I decided that it can look good. (probably shouldn't have given myself that restriction in hindsight).

The vast majority of the time you see a 3D model of something, it's a straight grid pattern on the limbs, with an occasional breakup on the knees and elbows. That's really not what I want because I want clear lines between muscles so it's easier to morph and would have a better shape at exaggerated proportions.
Bleh. It looks really crappy here, but you can at least see that I'm trying to curve things around the muscle's shape instead of it being a straight line down.
This is giving me a lot more work, but the goal is that I have one body and I will manipulate it to create bodies that are thin, fat, muscular and so on. Skinny and fat are both really really easy, but muscular... Well, at least I'm not going after realism or I'd be in serious trouble.

I decided that it's too hard to draw muscles on a flat leg, so after taking this screenshot I'm going back in zbrush to sculpt something to "trace" with retopology.

The velociraptors in the Jurassic park Franchise are not actually velociraptors, they are dromaeosaurs. Kemono Friends does not have a velociraptor so I can't show you what one actually looks like.

Does that mean kemonomimi is part of our shared human experience?
