Sam Fennah / FailSafe42 - Atheist furry who dropped out of college; sperged to Bionicle fans about God not existing #SAVEBOB

[JustMeLol2021]

You can see the evolution of his fetish art over time.
If you look at the early designs you can see how his ocs were more "normal" monsters. But he remodeled it and with it brought that sexual content.
Just look at Winifred or even Lucy herself, in her early designs they looked fine by his standards, but he remodeled them and now they have these huge hips and thick bodies.
Now it's getting to a worse point, just look at the new Hyzenthlay, she went from being a half normal squirrel to having that horrendous humanoid body. Or that new oc he showed recently, that besides nipples, she has that area with pubic hair.
The only ones that had that kind of body from the beginning were Helgan and Celia.

I think that's what pisses me off the most about Fennah's work, the lack of diversity with the character designs. His fans love to kiss his ass, and because of this if you leave a comment with actual criticism then his fans will try to make up excuses. I miss when Lucy looked more ferret-like, now she's more humanoid. However, I guess it does make since for them to all have similar body types because they're meant to be the same species. What also pisses me off is Sam's inability to make alien creatures look like alien creatures instead of... idk but they don't look alien enough to me. Fontaine and Ludwig look neat to me because they actually look like aliens, most of his designs just look too basic to me. Whenever I design my Eldritch characters, I always try to make them look as surreal as possible because they're ELDRITCH CREATURES. They're not meant to look normal, go crazy and make them look weird as fuck! That's part of the fun! When creating a alien character, you should want people to say stuff like "Wow, that looks creepy" NOT "Oh , I want that thing to sit on my face" cause then that defeats the whole concept.

But he definitely doesn't understand what is and isn't appropriate for a creative project that children/teenagers can access.

I've always had a bit of a split opinion on this. On one hand I found porn on the internet as a kid when I was like 12 and grew up in the golden age of New Grounds. So on one hand the idea of "no sexual fetish stuff where kids can find it" sounds like a impossible dream.

Kids have been stealing dad's porn stash for generations, so the only way to completely keep it away from kids is to not make it. Which rubs me the wrong way. It's too restricting and open to some abuse of overly puritan moral arbitrators, which only will ever lead to witch hunting.

On the other hand I feel the important part is how he flags himself and what he intends to attract and cultivate in an audience.

His book is going to be, by advertisment, 18+, and he makes a point to point this out in multiple places and on the top of his Twitter page. He seems intent on clear advertisment of such. So that, at the very least, puts him within the domain of "he told you it ain't for kids" and as such unless he gets rid of said tag I will not attack his book as inappropriate for children, but only for the book.

The rest of it needs better labeling. He doesn't seem to discourage minors on his Twitter, he isn't age restricting his YouTube videos, I've never once seen a NSFW warning from him, none of his accounts seem to be obviously marked as 18+, and I've never seen anything trying to attract a 18+ audience. In fact, music videos like his "animation tests" with the music choices he likes to have predominantly appeal to a 14+ audience.

Now if you go digging into his YouTube about section we find this:

18+ content! Watch with caution!

Which is buried in the section of his channel I'm sure less than 1k of his 251k subscribers have even read once. This is not as clearly advertised as his book. It is insufficient, and practically hidden. It is like putting the content warning at the end of the book. It's almost like it's there absolve him when he's called out on his audience including so many minors.

If he just flagged his video content appropriately on YouTube I would give him a pass and write it off as "he did his part, now it's kids lying about their age. That's beyond the reasonable responsibilities and expectations we can have for Sammy boy".

And yes, I've set the bar pretty damn low here. Yet it is a bar most degenerate furfags with their galaxies of perversion and fetishes have been able to not only meet, but surpass in many cases. Fennah's failure to clear the bar has no excuse. He's likely aware of and counting on his minor filled audience to keep his ego afloat. He's made no earnest attempts to dissuade the underaged viewers from watching and finding his content.

The fact that any teenager would want to read about dummy thicc aliens ejaculating on decapitated corpses is deeply concerning in and of itself. Fennah seems to have a whole torture porn thing going on, I can't imagine what minors think when they come across Fennah's channel. His channel isn't age restricted (COUGH which is bullshit), which means literally anyone regardless of their age can just blindly waltz into his channel. Just look at his Winifred animation! How the hell did that video not get flagged??? All the torture porn is in plain sight, Winifred is literally sitting on a throne of decapitated bodies and all the while she's surrounded by Kivs with their heads on pikes and their long ass tongues hanging out. You mean to tell me YouTube didn't take a look at his Winifred animation and flag that awful shit? If I was a minor and I suddenly found a video with a thicc furry dragon singing on a throne of dead bodies with heads on pikes, I would be fucking traumatized. It gets to a point where his content isn't even edgy anymore, it's just straight up fucking psychopathic and YouTube doesn't even bat an eye.

Thankfully Fontaine didn't get completely fetishized or Shuck, but thats most likely Fennah is a more female "focused" modeler anyway

None of his male characters are really "sexual", fortunately here at least it varies with the bodies.
The only one that more or less has an "attractive" body would be Yeshua, although he didn't suffer such a drastic change among the models.

Also, that reminds me of that meme about how in videogames the males of a species are drawn as normal, while the females are ultra sexualized women. (Maybe Felicity was the only exeption, for now)

Yea with how overdesigned and complex some of his male creature designs are, they still feel like a after thought when compared to the constant love and praise and attention his gives to his female creatures, for good or for ill.

Seems like Fennah is looking for someone to voice a character real soon

Bronx accent? That's new... I wonder what he's planning now. I'm sure he's still working on the First Night animated series, so maybe that's why he's casting another voice actress. What do y'all expect First Night will be like? Fennah already stated that First Night is a reboot of Satellite City, there's gonna be more gore and the characters will act more like their counterparts in the book. I honestly don't know what to expect, all I know is that it's gonna be a wild ride. Also, off topic but one of Fennah's fans got pissy about someone asking for him to put an age restriction on some of his more graphic content like the Winifred animation test. Y'know... that animation test he did with Winifred sitting on a throne of corpses surrounded by heads on pikes... yeah that.

If he's going to be keeping Yeshua and Mystique, they're both (currently) American, so I guess it sorta makes sense. Could be for that weird massive nipple rabbit Kiv?

Well, that confirms one thing. Fennah is probably very straight. Though because I can never remember the names of all his critters I looked up Yeshua and looked for a tweet mentioning redesign [ARCHIVE] in the Google summary to try and see his before and after quickly and in one place. I took a look at his responses to see if there were any complaints that could provide some old milk, and saw this:

What the actual fuck internet?

Honestly, I like this design's idea over all, it is a bit feminine looking, lacks any clearly masculine structures for something so humanlike, but I have noticed that Fennah actually is quite good at posing many armed creatures. Their arms often move in ways that seem odd at first, but actually would help account for balance and to show their natural comfort and coordination with them. The tails feel a bit excessive however and look almost like ribbons more than anything, far too flexible and long, and it over all is very obviously based on a kitsune. Legs are a bit over long though, but that is because they look to be approximately human length legs, with digitigrade feet which means they look even longer than they actually are.

For reader convenience here are the before and after shots:

Have a quick biology sperg for fun:

Spoiler: Let me make this easy for you to scroll pass

Only the teeth, which appear to be artificial replacements, have immediate issues from a glance at colouration, the fur is a bit odd in colour, but nothing horrendous. A similar colouration can be found among a variety of omnivores and predators, it is quite suited for autumn and rocky or dirt covered environments. This thing would be fine in a forest. The obvious inspiration is the fennec fox, or to narrow it down further, the Kitsune of Japanese mythology, and well, the colouration is just as fitting here as it is for a real fox, even if it is a bit different. I can't complain about anything here related to colour, other than the pattern is a bit odd, being stripped like that on the tails would draw increased attention to it, but only up close, so maybe they are warning bands for predators who get close enough to pick a fight?

As for its leg structure, it is once again digitigrade, however it is better optimized for a bipedal stride. This allows his head to sit vertically on his neck. He likely is quite intelligent as a result, or would be if that brain power wasn't being occupied with the excessive sensory information from the four eyes and four ears he possesses and all those limbs. I'll get to this later. This leg structure is not optimized for power however, despite the fact that is what digitigrade is best for. As far as jumping, running, and moving sneakily, it has disadvantages in each of them, however it is likely an excellent sprinter, as this leg structure is good for having a long stride as it sprints, and stands quite tall, it also would likely be a decent enough climber due to the long legs, and digitigrade structure making it easier to find footholds. It does have one issue however, it likely can't remain its sprint for long.

See humans evolved to hunt by using a rather unique tactic. Our evolutionary hunting method isn't to be fast as we chase prey, instead we can run for a really long time. We can just keep running after something and keep ourselves cool through sweating. Other animals, especially those with fur, can't do so and therefore need to stop and pant to cool themselves off. Humans, when we pant, it is to catch our breath and it is also like turning our cooling systems to maximum overdrive. We can keep our body temperatures low while on the move due to sweat, but we still get quite hot, just not enough to bring us down as quickly as other animals. By panting we can rapidly drop our temperature since we can combine it with sweating and be ready to go far sooner than other animals can be. This means if we decide to chase a prey animal it will win the sprint, but by the time we're feeling like we need to take a breather, it died of over exertion and we're strolling up to the body to eat it. Humans win marathons, everyone else wins the dash. This creature has a leg structure that is good for marathons, but it has fur, which traps heat inside of itself, and prevents sweating to rapidly cool itself down. So it would actually be awful at both a dash and a marathon.

Moving on, the multitude of upper limbs means it has an abundance of grasping appendages to attack and carry prey as well as to help when it is time to climb or to forage for fruits, fungus and vegetables to eat. It's vertical mobility must not be dismissed. Food found in trees, rock faces, along cliffs, and other hard to reach places would not be difficult to aquire thanks to having for arms and hands. It could easily climb to such places, find an acceptable point to anchor itself, then gather and eat any food that may be there. It could also carry any food it has into these places and easily eat it away from predators who might attempt to steal the food or kill and eat our specimen here. Using so many limbs, however, would require a highly developed brain, and the brain power required to coordinate them would be occupied and impede its ability to be used for more advanced intellect, simply because less of the brain would be free.

Now, let us quickly clear the issue of the tails. A quick count shows us something interesting, there are nine of them. Ignoring the "Hey look Fennah is a fucking weeb complete with a Kitsune OC" aspect, this creates some weird issues, first it is the coordination issue, which means this things brain must be really well developed, but so much of its brain power is being put into these things that it further limits how much it can spare for higher thought functions. Now, normally tails are formed as an extension of the spine, but since there are nine of them we can assume only one would be formed from an extension of the spine. The rest are appendages that would form similarly to the limbs of a cephalopod, except they probably have bones. Now a creature with so many tails, despite the issues of needing a highly developed brain to coordinate them, they would actually help this creature be incredibly stable. The purpose of tails is generally to provide a tool to help adjust the center of gravity to help stabilize and balance a creature, and occasionally to act as a grasping appendage. Having so many tails means that the ability to adjust ones balance is beyond that of any creature I know of, and if they are capable of grasping, which fur would impede, it means this boy is an even better climber than I previously implied.

The thing is, a creature maintaining its balance actually takes up a good amount of brain power. Your brain is, on the fly, running all the physics calculations needed to keep you standing up. It does so my helping you adjust your stance, move your limbs to change your balance, bend your spine in very precise angles, tilt your head a certain way, change the setting of your shoulder, et c. and adding a tail means even more of these calculations need to be done, but just a tail isn't too much more, nine tails however exponentially increases the complexity, because this means that it also needs to account for how them crossing affects your balance, any weight that they may be bearing if something is held in or placed on them might be affecting you, at what exact angle they need to bend, at what rate they need to sway as you walk, et c.. All of this demands this thing to be so fucking big brained that if you cut away all these tails, the extra pair of eyes and ears, and the spare set of arms, it'd have such a highly developed brain it would make humans look comparable to tiny screaming monkeys in relative intellect with the freed up processing power! It is also worth noting, this fucker is digitigrade feet that is really important, because digitigrade feet, even with this more human leg structure, are optimized for power and shock absorption in exchange for stability. This means it is far easier to push this thing over than a human. The reason most bipeds have plantigrade feet is because it is more stable and harder for us to fall over with them, quadrupeds can afford to trade out the added stability of plantigrade feet for the gains in power and shock absorption from digitigrade feet. That means those tails are actually even more important as it walks so it doesn't fall over, and coordinating them all to keep such an unbalanced platform upright is further taxing those brain cells.

The eyes having that form of pupil doesn't really cause any major issues. They can likely open far wider than those of say a cat or human, though they might find it slightly harder to adjust to bright lights, making this creature prefer a nocturnal life style, stretching from dusk until dawn. This eye shape would likely be discouraged in any diurnal creature's evolution, unless it came from a world that was in perpetual overcast, but seriously, there is nothing about this eye structure that causes complaint. Having more of them would make him better at judging the position of prey, and assuming only top or bottom blink at a time, he'd be a terrifying predator when stalking and seeking out his prey.

The ears, being so large with that dish like shape, are actually likely very good at picking up sound. Having two pairs would also mean that he could narrow down the position of other creatures by sound alone. Much like an owl, the difference in height between ear holes helps further pin point the source of the sound, and by rotating the direction of its ears it can better capture and pin point the location than even an owl could.

Combining what we can tell from eyes and ears, this thing would be nearly impossible to hide from, it would be able to hear your position as you tried to sneak up on it or away from it, and then pin point your position, then once it looked at you it would be able to very accurately account for the distance you are from it before it dashed in to close for the kill, or made the dash to run away. However, these factors, along with all of its limbs and the shit ton of tails, mean it probably isn't that great at higher level brain functions, like at all.

See there is only so much room in a skull, and only so compact a highly evolved brain can be before sacrifices must be made. All the brain space being used for those tails, the arms, the eyes, and the ears, as well as any other senses it has, is brain space that can't be used for structures that let it do things like language, logic, reason, problem solve, plan, remember things, and so on. This creates a weird dichotomy. To exist like this it needs to have an insanely well developed brain, something capable of processing an absurd amount of information, but since it needs to do so much processing just to move and sense the world around it, it can't spare the space for other things.

Now it is clear by the shape of its teeth and claws, as well as the amount and placement of muscle, leg structure, and colouration, this is not a purely predatory animal. Instead it is clearly an omnivore, likely existing somewhere around the upper middle of its local food chain. So at least it can properly fuel that highly developed brain it is. Even if it is a moron. I felt like I should point out that we can tell what its diet looks like from these details. It isn't all that important.

EDIT: I want to point out, it would be capable of reading, writing, and speaking. It wouldn't be of animal level intellect. Just that of a literally retarded human. IQ of around 70-85 depending on the individual.

EDIT FOR TL;DR: Yeshua would need an insanely well developed and highly evolved brain, and has the ability to support the weight of one, but it wouldn't be used for higher thought processes like humans do, instead much of it would be dedicated to coordinating appendages, maintaining balance, and processing sensory information. It is over designed to the point that it is wasteful from a biological process.

Also, that reminds me of that meme about how in videogames the males of a species are drawn as normal, while the females are ultra sexualized women. (Maybe Felicity was the only exeption, for now)

Combining what we can tell from eyes and ears, this thing would be nearly impossible to hide from, it would be able to hear your position as you tried to sneak up on it or away from it, and then pin point your position, then once it looked at you it would be able to very accurately account for the distance you are from it before it dashed in to close for the kill, or made the dash to run away. However, these factors, along with all of its limbs and the shit ton of tails, mean it probably isn't that great at higher level brain functions, like at all.

See there is only so much room in a skull, and only so compact a highly evolved brain can be before sacrifices must be made. All the brain space being used for those tails, the arms, the eyes, and the ears, as well as any other senses it has, is brain space that can't be used for structures that let it do things like language, logic, reason, problem solve, plan, remember things, and so on. This creates a weird dichotomy. To exist like this it needs to have an insanely well developed brain, something capable of processing an absurd amount of information, but since it needs to do so much processing just to move and sense the world around it, it can't spare the space for other things.

Now it is clear by the shape of its teeth and claws, as well as the amount and placement of muscle, leg structure, and colouration, this is not a purely predatory animal. Instead it is clearly an omnivore, likely existing somewhere around the upper middle of its local food chain. So at least it can properly fuel that highly developed brain it is. Even if it is a moron. I felt like I should point out that we can tell what its diet looks like from these details. It isn't all that important.

Wow, you sure do talk a lot... but you have a lot of interesting things to say and so I'm not even mad lol. I never noticed how Yeshua's design looked similar to a Kitsune fox, I just wish you could shorten these paragraphs down a notch cause it's so much information to take in. XD

If I take the time to say something, I think it out and say it. Fucking Twitter and cellphones making kids think everything needs to be short and done with, or thinking it can all be boiled down in a few sentences.

Though I will admit, that was a long one, and it went through two quick restructures to shorten it all down. There is a reason I flag it as a sperg. It was something I expected to be quick, but as I examined it further and double checked the science it just kept going deeper. The reason I do this to Fennah's crap is because he insists that these are "biologically evolved" creatures. Which means I have an excuse to squeeze some fun out of them by holding them to those standards.

It is like a joke about taking a naked chicken and calling it a man. It is funny because "that is clearly not a man, it's a chicken! Lawl eks dee so randumb", then you learn about Diogenes Laërtius, who, after Plato defined a man as "A featherless biped" walked into his academy and held up a plucked chicken and said "Behold! A man!". When you broaden your understanding and go deeper, it gets a bit funnier. There is another layer to the joke.

Likewise, Fennah's creations get a bit more silly when you hold them to the standards he claims they should be held to, the standards of biological evolution. For example Yeshua likely has a brain developed far beyond the point of that of a human, and is likely capable of speech and such, but he'd also have the intellect of a literal retard because of how over designed he is.

Well I wasn't trying to make ya mad there bud, I was just saying lol. You make a lot of good points about Fennah's work though.

So I've been following this thread for some weeks now, and I'm a huge lover of Fennah's work, but not of him. I follow the thread out of curiosity and also because I want to learn as much about writing/storytelling/character design as possible.

There are some questions I can answer, as mostly I know of everything that Fennah posts and look through comments sometimes or ask questions myself.

(1): Fennah wants to self-publish. I informated myself a year or so ago about self-publishing and I kind of worry that the book will be expensive as self-publishing in physical is sure as hell expensive + when it comes to sending overseas.

(2): Fennah posted in the comments a explanation of his sexual pose on the game pixel test post.

(3): The pencil-like drawings of the characters are for a character guide which will be released alongside the book.

I just thought I'll add things that were overlooked or that people questioned here.

Honestly, I find it funny too. I also like to research all that biological crap for my stuff and it's always funny to try to look at fictional things from that side.
It was gratifying to have read all that, there were even things I was completely unaware of. Good one.

When I first started reading through this thread, it mostly consisted of people making fun of Fennah. Now there seems to be this big turnaround recently with people going into deep rants about the biology of his world n' characters. I thought you guys hated his content? I'm confused... what side are you guys on? I mean I can go either way, I just didn't think this thread was gonna get this "preachy" lol. No offense, y'all make some good points of course... just want to have a better understanding of what this thread is for now.

For my part I simply scoff at the poor content of a person with an inflated ego.
I don't hate his content because to me it's absurd to burn my head with stuff like that.

I guess others have some similar point, and if we just focus on analyzing the things he does, how terrible they are and how hilarious they become when we see the attitude and statements of their author.

 

[AngryTreeRat]

Oh I know, just me drunk posting and making a jab at a world that likes things short and sweet. Forgot my /s.

As for making good points about his work, well Fennah puts in effort, just all in the wrong places, and as a result I feel compelled to give him the same effort back as I pick on him.

You want to know the dumb part? I learned a lot of this while researching stuff for making monsters for Dungeons and Dragons as a DM, yet it feels somehow more wasted that I am using all of this to post about Fennah's fap material. Still haven't learned real actual magic or how to summon a demon through DnD though, so I feel cheated and like the '80s lied to me.

This site is simple yet complicated. You see, we exist to laugh at and mock these cows. We do not touch, we simply observe and ridicule. However the important thing is we ridicule the reality of the cows, we don't hate blindly, we don't make stuff up, we simply take a fact, and we milk it for all the fun it gives, making fun of it as we go. You could stop at saying "look at this dumb rabbit thing with massive nipples, thicc thighs and pubic hair" and be done, and for some that is enough, but I like to examine it a bit deeper, not out of malice, but out a playful sadistic pleasure of turning Fennah's own claims of "biological evolution" against him as I cut into his wiggling monstrosities.

I respect Fennah's technical abilities and creativity. I won't ever pretend I think less of something he does than I do, or claim he is without talent. He has plenty of talent and I would honestly hire him if I needed a concept artist and thought I could afford and tolerate him. I do however see the issues his work has, and it is funny to pick on him for it. I don't like his content, it isn't to my tastes at all, but I respect the quality where it exists and possess the knowledge to mock it where it doesn't. He's so wonderful because he's not completely awful like other art cows. He's one of my favourite artcows because he's not completely incompetent, instead his ego prevents him from doing better. If he considered the criticism given to him in good faith and addressed the issues he has, I truly believe he'd find more success. He simply refuses to be better. The best lolcows are those who could escape their fate with a bit of introspection and addressing their own issues yet choose to stay the course. He puts in a lot of effort, just not in the right places.

I personally don't hate Sammy boy, I can't speak for others, but no I quite love him. I love him because he provides me with so much entertainment when he acts like an ass hat on his twitter, when his ego starts to grow out of control, when his designs have flaws for me to pick apart, or when his fans say depraved shit. How could I hate someone who brings me so much joy? If I have the time I have every intention of buying his book and sadistically mocking it, at least in the places where it deserves such, here for all to see! I wish Fennah a long and entertaining life and career!

Also I must stress, there is a difference between sadistic mockery and malicious mockery. Malice implies the goal is to harm and attack the subject for its own sake. Doing so sadistically simply means I take joy in the cruelty of what I am doing. A subtle, but important difference.

I wish we could put an "infected" tag on this thread.

It's a bunch of wobbly oversexed deviant art OCs created by an edgelord who refuses to admit he's making hardcore fetish material and thinks he's better than major animation studios. Ain't that fucking deep.

IMO there's no point in being critical of something if you can back that up with creative critique. Sure, I can't do 3D model, but that doesn't invalidate my opinion of poor workmanship on someone else.
I don't think many people like Fennah, because he's a bloody dickhead
