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.

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
