Proving Tom Fischbach's Innocence
Hello, I'm Ybg!
I'll prove that Tom Fischbach is a good man, and that he's not, and never would be, a degenerate.
Despite everything people might say about his work, this guy is a samaritan who's never let anyone down. He always draws for his fans and loves what does. On the left is a photo of our king. On the right is cover art of his controversial comic. Do you really think this sweet man, the brother of our beloved Markiplier, would be a degenerate?
Furry Allegations
First of all, I want to address the fact that he makes furry art but claims he isn't a furry.
According to Wikifur.com, despite Tom Fischbach's great involvement in furry art, he doesn't have much interest in the fandom itself and "he doesn't consider himself a 'furry.'" I would also like to point out "furry fandom" has the word "fandom" in it because this specific word sets Fischbach apart from furries. Cambridge Dictionary defines fandom as "a group of fans of someone or something," and a fan as "someone who admires and supports a person, sport, sports team, etc." I do not believe Fischbach admires nor supports the furry fandom, instead it is my belief he is neutral. If the man doesn't claim he is a furry, then he can't be a furry, because he's not a fan.
Now, you may say he is a furry because he is going to furry conventions. I have to say, are you a furry simply because you go to a furcon? Look, his audience consists of furries because that is mainly what his work is about. He physically cannot go anywhere else to show his comic because very few non-furs, like me, are interested in it. What if you made a certain piece of work that consisted primarily of a specific group in society? Just because you aren't one of them doesn't mean you have to avoid their gatherings; they are your main consumers / audience.
TwoKinds (@TwoKinds), February 23, 2024For example, if a game developer includes LGBT+ characters in his game, does that necessarily render him part of the LGBT+ community? No! He is simply including LGBT+ characters and can have little to no affiliation with the community itself. Just like that scenario, you cannot proclaim Fischbach is a furry off the sole basis of his work.
Suggestive Themes in Twokinds
There seems to be an issue with a number of people on certain scenes Fischbach has made in Twokinds. For example, the fact that Flora is 11 years old may rub some readers the wrong way with how she interacts with Trace Legacy. Flora may be 11 in human years butshe is about 21-23 in Keidran Years. Does it not make sense for a 21-23 year old to be romantically involved with a24 year old? Her short lifespan renders her an adult at the age of 11, and because she is not human, it should be no reason to stop her from loving Trace. It could be a reasonable issue had she been a human but she is physically different–her body just goes through life faster–and if Trace and her want each other, then so be it, because there is nothing wrong with it.
Now, there are some scenes that depict what some consider inimate relations without giving consent. Now consent is a very important thing in all romantic relationships, but Flora and Trace have a specific bond. They are basically okay with each other whenever and wherever, it's almost like they've given each other automatic consent. In the case that one of them isn't feeling so hot, they could simply say, "hey, I'm not really feeling it right now, sorry." They both love each other very much so I doubt they wouldn't understand.
