When I knew her, she was about twentyish, and was moving in with my best friend. Apparently her parents weren't the sole force behind her breaking up with him--she was creeped out by him too.
I think I remember her showing me the story Isfahan read, but that was about eight years ago and my memory gets a little wiffle-bally since our priority was playing video games and watching Clone Wars for two weeks.
Edited to add: I should mention that at the time, she believed she was a multiple (one of those personalities was a grey wolf), and the friend she moved in with believed she was a white dragon. My friendship with them sort of started to fall apart when they bonded over being non-human, basically rejecting my plain human self like a bad skin graft.

About to listen to the second half, but I had to drop off this quote first, from a year or two back when my sister were discussing a crazy Ulillalia-esque furry:
Delcat: "Oh man! I discovered the single most important website ever: NATURE'S HARMONIC SIMULTANEOUS 4-DAY TIME CUBE!!! This site definitively debunks both the special theory of relativity and Greenwich villiage time. Before I read this site, I was a staunch believer in both. I'm totally serious. This site may look crazy, but it's really not. It really changed my thinking about most things." Delcat: TIMECUBE Delcat: DEAR FRIEND Megan: It always shows up sooner or later. Megan: Ulillalia has probably examined Timecube, found mathematical flaws in it, fixed it into an actual working thing, and then just put it in his mind game and bounced cartoon fruit off it.
I really can't argue with that assumption.

Its not so much listening to music at different speeds, but more exclusively listening to music that is incredibly long loops of music at different speeds.

Yay! The F Plus is back! (And so am I, but I won't get into it.)
I'm only partway through Part I, but there are so many all-time greats on here, and a several new ones to me as well. Time Cube is classic Internet crazy, as is Dave Gonterman. I discovered Time Cube back in 1998 when I had a gig looking for fun and/or weird web sites for ZDTV, and it still delivers the crazy, all these years later.
2 the Ranting Gryphon is what I've always considered the unpleasant combination of Furry fandom and cocaine, so I'm glad someone else noticed. Don't listen to his recordings if you have sharp objects nearby, for your own safety.

Now that I've had some time to digest this monster of an episode I have some stray thoughts I'd like to share:
1.) I am so glad you managed to sneak some of Dragonguyver's stuff in there. He's very near and dear to my heart as I can recall me and my cousin taking turns reading through his horrific attempt at a novel while doing our best Strong Sad impression and switching when one of us started cracking up.
2.) I also really like how 2's examples of real world horrors much worse than furry fetish porn are child molestation and...Women breastfeeding babies in public?
3.) Some of my favorite POE classics that didn't appear in this episode:
-Lord Rexington Fear Lacked the schtick most other exhibits had, his claim to fame instead being that he was just a very self-righteous shlub who failed at everything he did and still thought himself to be the shit. He looked like what would happen if Kirby swallowed Fabio and a tub of butter...
-Frostfang Manor Three morbidly obese furries/otherkin who lived in a broken down trailer filled with their own filth. A picture of one of them (Who went by the name of Pookie) fixing a computer in his underpants in the middle of a filthy room gained some popularity on the internet as the perfect depiction of the neckbearded shut-in. Also his ass took up his entire back
-MyTanookiSuitHasBalls/Hornytoad/NarutoisaDishBestServedCold/Alfred Shitcock Resident forum trainwreck: He came to POE to defend some random furry bullshit site that was featured and just sort of never left, despite being banned multiple times. He was a hardcore furry who legitimately wanted to have sex with animals, hated the police with a fiery passion for reasons that were never clearly explained and was convinced that we would genetically engineer real life furries in the coming decades because he read it in a science fiction novel. His most memorable bit of insanity was his stance on child pornography: That being he thought it should be legalized with his excuse beign that making it illegal impeded the efforts of "The Minutemen of Child Porn": Brave individuals who combed through kiddie porn in the hopes of identify the places they were shot so that they might mete out vigilante justice. Believed to have been killed by a haunted car...

Oh no no no. Martin Gale, starting from basic Newtonian physics, believes he's invented the most effective martial art known to man. That's about the most logic you'll get out of it; I can tell you he's assembled a pantheon of the most influential martial artists over the last 2,000 years, and put himself on it twice. Either he's a deservedly immodest utter martial arts badass, or a bit of a yutz who'd made a webpage that set the standard for schizophrenic web design for years to come. (Having seen a few of his videos, I can attest it's the latter, not the former.)
The dude you're thinking of is Francis E. Dek, who used to put up fliers and had them read by a DJ with the most amazing voice, one that inspired jealousy on my part.

I liked 2 okay also, so don't bury yourself in shame. And I'll even say a few things in his defense:
1. As far as F-plus subjects go, pretty self-deprecating. He refers to what he does as crap, and I don't know that I ever heard him describe what he did as comedy, so the fact that it's punchline-centric isn't a giant failing on his part.
2. His medium was definitely part performance. 2's rants worked because they were long and quick. He'd recite each one over fast techno and then edit out the breaths in between. I imagine the repetition the F-plus so rightfully pointed out was a lot less tedious to the listener because of this.
3. That was not his best rant. His twin pieces on vegetarians and carnivores were both sort of fun.
That being said, I'm embarrassed for him that he didn't bother to do more than two seconds of POE research to determine they weren't a Christian site, and I can definitely appreciate the weakness of his "trying-too-hard" style now in a way that I couldn't have when I was ten years younger.

As for this ep, I just...I...
I love you guys, gorrangit.
Things unfamiliar to me:
CAROLE (although I'm very familiar with voluntary amputees) Pinku Dead Wife Matthew Moulton (possibly, he seems familiar) Elven Holocaust
Everything else was a trip down memory lane. I can't believe I remember the Rat Porn Lady, I'd forgotten about it until now. That was one of my first exposures to the horrors of furry porn, back when I was 13 or so. My sister and I had just discovered PoE and we tried that site and I was like "I had a crush on Justin when I was four but it wasn't like this D8". I had no idea about the scrap going down behind the scenes, I didn't start looking at the forum posts for at least a year or two more.
Legolas by laura was the only (mostly) clean rite-of-passage fics on GodAwful Fanfiction. "Legolas-by-laura ending" became a working term for any fic that abruptly cut off.
One thing worth mentioning about 2 the Ranting Gryphon is that he highly endorsed Jack back in 2001 and Hopkins has never taken that liner-quote off his website. It's almost like he's lacking in unconditional praise these days. also this segment was horribly oppressive to me I was listening to it on Winamp iTunes scum actually I have literally no idea what people use for music these days it's seriously that bad help
And oh, finally, good ol' Davey Wifebeater Hopkins gets his fifteen minutes. I'm a Kate-Comics fan, and this came out the same day that someone crashed his forum defending the Tumblr and Dave pitched a massive fit. I dunno if he's seen this yet but the sequence of events is like a karma bear trap closing, I love it.
Question for Ridiculists/Mods: Since there's such a massive amount of content in this episode, would it be okay to make (or revive) topics for different exhibits on Notes From the Front Lines? I feel like people could use the room to spread out, light their pipes, and have some leisurely discussions.

my only real memory of 2 the ranting gryphon was a few years back when his episode about art theft was making the rounds. it may have just been that, you know, getting your art ripped off -> signature erased -> and seeing someone repost it for profit has happened to me and it pisses me off, but i did enjoy that rant. i tried to download a few more and...he failed to evolve on most subjects.
like his solution to the gas price crisis was everyone quit work and refuse to go out of your house. just kinda real shit ideas that would be fine, if they were coming out of the mouth of an 8 year old.
also this whole "PoE is a christian website" is super confusing to me, someone explain that cause i feel lost
is it just because of the word evil in the name people see 'evil' and just assume it meant 'christians hang out here'?

This episode of the podcast (and its thread) does raise a question I've always had:*
Does being a self-identified Furry make people psychotic, or are psychotic people just naturally driven to the Furry fandom? I mean, the examples in this podcast (Nekobe, 2 the Ranting Gryphon, Gonterman, etc., etc.) are far from unusual behavior in Furry circles. It's almost as if histrionics are second nature to having a fursona.
* Any furries of Ballp.it: please don't take this personally. It's just my observation as an outsider. Am I wrong?

I think it really depends, I think the thing is... for a lot of furries, being a furry is about the boners. And anyone who self-identifies by their fetish almost to the exclusion of everything else is utterly insane or at least incredibly socially awkward and someone you want to avoid.
"Spiritual" furry-ism seems to have largely floated over to merge with otherkin(a shame, I kinda miss it as something to giggle at, fare ye well, Astral Walmart), so basically all you're left with is people who make 90% of their social interaction centered around a fetish.

Part time/ex or whatever furry here
There are equally crazy people in any social group you could name. However the fact that for a large number of furries it is a fetish, and a large part of the community is about porn and constant sexual exposure leads into an escalation that we frequently see displayed in the related artwork.
For example I knew a kid I'll call Ben. Ben liked pokemon, Ben was an awkward kid and when Ben found himself transplanted to another state with no friends but his computer he moved onto the path to escalation. Ben found a group of people who liked Pokemon, could help him with his computer, and played him games, well that's great! But these friends also had fursonas and had artwork done. Gradualy Ben drew himself a fursona and became more and more involved in the group. The sense of group belonging drags you in and you don't even feel it. Its a combination of groupthink, peer pressure, and the need for community. Eventually Ben decided that instead of going to college he was going to just hang out online and talk to these friends. He ended up dating a complete cunt he met in the community and spent his entire savings on a trip to visit this guy.
Now as for myself I almost hit the same path. I was bored and wanted some friends so I met the same people. I broke away for a few reasons, when an artist against my wishes tried to draw porn of my character with my boyfriends character before we were dating, when one of the group leaders pulled/tried to pull a stunt similar to nekobe, and when I was harassed to give out the porn I allegedly had of my character (there was no porn)
TLDR Picture it like gravity. You want to belong, and be a group of friends. Gradually as you get closer and closer together you may lose your sense of decency, and because of that you might find yourself in a casual chat with friends talking about how you ruined you totally got that XXL chance the stallion down to the base and you have videos to prove it. The spiral of wanting to be in a community makes people crazy, when the community is around or encouraging someone who is already unstable or crazy you have a disaster waiting to happen.

Beautifully put. I flirted with the Furry community for much the same reasons when I was young and impressionable.
now your words just have me worried that the F-Plus community is going to drag me into some similar spiral...that I'll be up at 3 a.m. reading typos out of books to strangers on the street some day. Part time/ex or whatever furry here

You know, Nekobe's hapless hosts thought he was crazy and paranoid for assuming they were trying to lose him in traffic, but all I can think is that other, smarter people probably had the sense to actually do that. Why they gave him six hundred dollars to leave instead of luring him to an unfamiliar location and leaving him there, I do not understand.

But if it only has one compartment, the mayonazu (mayonnaise) could touch his gohan (rice)! That would be teriburu (awful).
The bento box post makes me want to put together some additional goon idiocy for submitting, but I can see a few problems already: 1. So much of it is either archived, gassed, or preserved in FYAD (all behind some kind of paywall), and 2. goons aren't exactly known for being concise. Still, there's so many fantastic posts on there.

The relatively little touches make it, like the weird furry speak ("pawing" people off) and how the people whose lives he was disrupting gave him, what was the running total, $600, a car wash and two hand-jobs, instead of the beating he so obviously needs.
How do you even "paw" someone off? Seems like a prehensile limb with an opposable thumb would be an important part of a hand-job, you couldn't really do that with a paw. Maybe it works differently with the suits, I don't know.

All I know is that when my sister's cat bats my face in the morning so I'll let him out, he invariably hooks my lip because his claws are partially extended and it's incredibly painful. And cats have the option of retracting their claws, unlike most other animals. The guy giving the "pawjobs" was what, a wolf? Ouch.

Goddammit.
They're (and I sigh) magic humaniform animals, who have the desired traits of both humans and the animal(s) of choice, and if that means having no (or retractable) claws for paw-jobs, that's not far out of reach.
In the context of a toothless asocial leech demanding sex from overly-generous strangers and being paid to leave after nearly a week, clawless paws is the least bit of insanity to latch onto.

FOUND IT
All music has a message. Even if it's just silly stuff, it has a message in it. And the message that music carries is one the absolute most important aspects of it. Because of the theatricisms and accessibility of music, it has an intense and widespread power to reach people and shape their minds, their feelings, their lives and society as a whole. I believe music, as well as art as a whole, to be a world-changing force, and that we must understand this if we want to make the world a better place.
I knew music made strong emotional connections with people, and that good music helped people enjoy their lives more, but it was, oddly enough, the last band you'd think of that made me realize music's true potential for massive cultural and personal influence: DragonForce. I'm going to come right out and say the phrase that will certianly be quoted in infamous catchphrasism but I will always stand by it: DragonForce changed my life. I used to be a lot like most of SA, a jaded, cynical pessimist with a completely contemptful attitude toward the future and believing in nothing. That this thing called "hope" was just a big fat lie spoon-fed to me by my parents, by my teachers, by all the sheep-herding media conglomerates. Indeed, it was my rage, my utter hatred for the world and complete disillusionment with life that drew me deep into the extremities of the metal underground. Later on I got into Manowar, whom I fell in love with like most here did, out of sheer irony. Soon to follow was discovering power metal, a genre a become fond with as it echoed my love for Japanese RPGs, and then DragonForce, who quickly became my favorite band. As I spent the next two years listening to them constantly, I began to notice something. This music was changing my attitude towards life. No longer was I flailing armageddon disciple. When listening to DragonForce, I actually started to believe in myself again. I saw myself not spending the rest of my life drinking and loving the pain of life away, but reaching out to people, spreading love and joy and fighting for everyhting good in the world. I realized this music was more than just a form of entertainment. This was a new voice of the youth.
For so long we've lived under the shadow of the grunge era. We've raised a nihilistic generation that doesn't give a shit and sees the world with callous eyes, rejecting faith, hope and love. To us, all these things are part of the commercial, imperialist machine that we reject. DragonForce, and power metal, have come to change all that. They know how we feel, the rage, the hatred, the pain and disillusionment. And they speak to us a message of light in darkness, of overcoming the struggles of the world with hopes for a brighter future. Metal is the language with which this message will reach out to the ones who have lost faith. The rage of hatred and domination becomes the fire of heroism. No longer are faith and dreams of love manufactured lies. In metal, everything beautiful is pure for those of us who know freedom to embrace once again. All these things we need more than ever in our current cultural and political climate, and that is why I believe power metal will be the new grunge, and that DragonForce will be the next Nirvana.
Also the Beatles were an infinitely better singles band than album band. Kuuenbu

Autogynephilia and MRA pretty much go hand-in-hand. Ever read transgender transformation fiction? Most of what I've seen doesn't just fetishize the physical transformation, it also inevitably turns the dude into a fucking idiotic bimbo who's supposed to be the epitome of womanhood (and is usually a sexual plaything, too).

Hand in... hand, you say? I have a feeling that hand's holding something else altogether.

Can I just say that I tried showing the Nekobe story to some local furries over dinner? It started off pretty well, with them laughing at how ridiculous everything was. When we got to day two of the story, they started to look exhausted. On day three, they were seething in rage that such a thing could have ever happened. By the end of the story, you could just see their hope in humanity dying in their eyes.
On the bright side, "yiff the otter" seems to have become a new catchphrase between us. Anytime something goes wrong, someone will call out "everything would have been fine if you had just let me yiff the otter!"

Thanks for necrobumping this so I can tell all of you folks how much I fucking love the whole "Real Digimon" saga. I still remember reading the Facepunch thread when we found out one of the ringleaders was actually on Facepunch, and it was that kid "probing the internet to make a map of the digiworld" by just pinging random servers and doing some dumb shit with it.

It is important that I revive this thread discussing an episode that came out over three years ago. This is one of my favorite episodes, and I've listened to it maybe ten times, and just today I noticed an oversight that can't be ignored any longer:
At minute 43, John Toast makes a pretty good joke in response to the assertion that human-Pokémon marriage is legal in Justin RPG's state. In this joke, he takes the common slogan "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve", and relates it to Pokémon by adding the suffix "-achu". Pretty good. BUT NOT IDEAL.
The best possible version of that joke would have been "It's Adam and Eve, not Adam and Eevee". I don't feel that I need to defend this position. Please re-edit this episode to include this joke instead.

There's now a feature film (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6939372/) based on the post by the Japanese guy whose wife would pretend to be dead when he came home. Here's the trailer:
