No longer on Buzzly

Posted by Jade-Everstone - February 6th, 2022


Edit: another update: seems the staff quickly picked up no one wanted that type of content on the site & has banned it/made a statement

https://buzzly.art/news/clearing-the-air


however, the fact it did blow up this much & some staff did try to excuse it keeps me wary of using the site

---

Edit 3/17/22: holy shit I was right to stay away from the site after that. Took down all my art off that site & bc they didn't add a way to close your account I'm just going to delete/remove all links for now.


I'll also link this thread on TH as it's a pretty huge masterlist of what's going on/reciepts: https://toyhou.se/~forums/11.general-off-topic/282392.buzzly-has-a-big-yikes-update

A small update on my Buzzly account: unfortunately after recent news, I don't feel comfortable using the site and will be dropping it as an active place


for context: the site staff are ok with incest & nazi imagery in a romanticized content & have been doing mental gymnastics to excuse not banning it (comparing it to just gore art for example)


EDIT: Link to a thread with screenshots/more proof https://twitter.com/horseangst/status/1490524003903041537


I am disappointed. I've avoided "DA alternatives" because of bs like this at the past & I set aside my gripes to give this place a chance.


It's still a wait-and-see bc this just got out, but after this I'm going back to not trusting new platforms, especially "DA alternatives". Think of it this way, joining older sites like Newgrounds has been great & I don't regret it. Meanwhile every "New art site" like Artfol, Sheezy, and now Buzzly gets into shit/has a catch within less than a year of being out.


Comments

Something about those alternative dA websites make it seem like they have full potential. They all have potential to be something special, the problem is how badly they market themselves, and from how extremely comfortable the artist community feels in their Twitter bubbles. And now, the controversies that surround the website creator(s) make up for each website's future reputation. Glad to have you come back on here.

Yeah, like there should be more sites out there that aren't bigger social medias, but with how many new sites go this route its hard to trust.
(Though on being back on NG, haven't left since I got here lol ;)

I don't know how I got here, but I'll say something that needs to be said. Newgrounds has a horrible problem with incest and zoophilia. There are entire tags dedicated to them and I cannot stand no one talking about it. I hope someone here agrees, I hope it's not just me
