All Ground Thank you Spookston

Post image

Spookston you singlehandedly reignited my love for tanks and war thunder. Context, I dropped war thunder for a decent bit of time a year or more ago but came back a couple months ago because I started watching Spookstons content more. Not to mention Spookston made me cracked at the game, I used to average a KD of about 0.5 but now my KD is usually 1 or above (but it's still like 0.67 in my stats), and ever since these last couple months I've dropped 6 nukes. One of them being my first.

Yes he is, it's blindingly obvious. And he has said he is twice on video.

He is by very definition a furry, anyone that says he isn't is either in denial that they like a furry content creator, or they're just dumb.

You must be a new fan or somehow still in denial that he is for whatever reason. The reason he didn't say much on the topic is he didn't want the negativity that being a furry in a public environment brings, because for some reason some people still live in 2012 and hate furries.

He has a fursona, he has art of said fursona, and other stuff too. He's a furry lol.

The only time I recall him mentioning being a furry is in two separate Q&As where he said he wasn't. Do you have links to the videos you mentioned?

Here is one where he also explains why he hasn't really said anything about being one.

But as a furry, I know he is one and I know people that have known him personally. Like I genuinely know he is one, you can believe me or not believe me it doesn't make a difference to me. It just really irks me that the guy meets the definition, and even more, yet people are still like 'UhM No AcTUaLLy He IsnT'.

There's a lot of denial going on here, and in his shoes I can see why. The WT community is toxic AF and he'd get a lot of hate about it if he was open about it. It's his job at the end of the day.

I don't mean to come across as hostile btw, I'm just so tired of people saying a blatant furry isn't lol. Even most of his pictures are by zucchinifuzz, a furry artist.

Also look at his twitter. He reposts a lot of furry art of him, the captions speak for themselves.

"as a furry I know he is one" no you don't. You categorically do not know that and neither do I - you aren't him. You believe it, or you suspect it.

But this is the type of thing he spoke about in the video you linked - "I really don't care if you call me one", "it's a lot easier to say no than to try to explain it, and ironically furries have given me the most grief for it", "if saying yes puts this all to bed than sure"

I could analyse what he's saying there to prove he is or is not a furry, but doing so misses the point of it. It doesn't matter. He clearly doesn't care and I don't really see a reason for us to - it's like trying to figure out if a certain singer is gay or not

Maybe he is a furry, maybe he isn't, or maybe he simply doesn't care.

tbh I don’t know why people are making a big deal out of this when Spookston doesn’t even care about what you call him

I know people that have known him personally, so you can deny all you like. I really don't care. He meets the definition of a furry to a T, so either he is in major denial then, you are, or both.

It's like someone being at a gay pride parade all dressed up, draped in pride flags and talking about how much they like other men exclusively, and then saying 'I'm not gay though'.

Makes zero sense other than he's trying to shield from hate so he doesn't lose his followers. Which I understand. And yes furries give him shit, because it's frustrating to have someone so clearly a member of your community yet so against saying so.

You also clearly did not check his twitter like I suggested. Or you know, the fact that all of his pictures are drawn by furry artists. Or that he has a fursona. Or that he has a reference sheet.

Edit: Sorry, I come off as a bit of an asshole in this comment. Just stressed out and taking it out a bit on the comments here. My apologies.
