10 years ago, I joined the Furry fandom, before leaving 3 years later. AMA

I just realized it was about 10 years ago, so might as well talk about it to "commemorate" it lol. In the summer of 2016 I discovered the fandom and became more and more attracted until "officially" joining the online community towards the end of the summer of that year. I remained for about 3 years until I decided to quit.

AMA about my time within the fandom, my experiences, thoughts, etc. I wasn't much active outside of online but i'll answer to the best of my capacities, knowledge, and experiences

Medieval stasis (sort of ) exists in our world, there's no problem with having it in yours if you explain it properly

I keep seeing the Medieval Stasis debate pop up every now and then, and every time I can't help but think the whole thing can easily be settle by taking inspiration into the real world. Because yes, medieval stasis did exist IRL and you can have it in your world by explain it the way it worked historically: reverse stasis

Let me illustrate with a few examples. Take a look at this image from 1480, this one from the 1460's, or this one from the same period. Do you know what they all represent? The siege of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 AD. Obviously, those depictions do not, in the slightest, represent what Romans or Jerusalem looked like in 70 AD, but they do represent however how people in the 15th century saw the past. Authors of the past didn't mind giving them a look that is contemporary to the late 15th century, because they didn't know better. To them, thinking of the past as a medieval stasis where ancient Romans were dressed, armored, and had technologies the same way as themselves, was not a problem in the slightest. They didn't envision that in 1 400 years, things had drastically changed in looks, mentalities, cultures, etc.

All of that to say, while I do think a ''true'' medieval stasis is a bit dumb and unrealistic, I would love to see a ''historical'' medieval stasis implemented into a story: the people from 3 000 years ago in your setting didn't necessarily live the exact same way as your heroes without change and evolution in the meantime, but your heroes see the people from 3 000 years ago in their very own contemporary way, which means that for them, they dressed the same, used the same weapons and armor, the same equipment, etc.

I think such an explanation for a medieval stasis would not only solve in a realistic and hisorically-grounded way the problem of why there's a stasis in your world, but also be very interestingly put together.

Do with this as you want, it was just my historian 2 cents

[Meta] Why are so many posts locked on the subreddit?

I've been scrolling a bit and noticed that a very great deal of posts that are only a few days old are locked. Looking through them or the comments, i cant find anything that could explain why its locked.

I know some subreddits automatically lock and archive posts after a while, but we're talking about posts that are less than a week old here.

What's the deal here?

Introducing Rule 9: No AI

Hello, r/ArmsandArmor users.

In recent weeks, we have noticed a rise in posts using AI as a creation tool for such posts. Those posts were followed by a heavy anti-AI sentiment shared by other users, either through comments or reports.

This sentiment is shared by the moderation team of the subreddit, and while we do have rule 8, it has its limits and as such we have decided to create a new rule:

>Rule 9: No AI
In order to keep the subreddit at a high quality level, all content generated by or with the help of AI is expressively prohibited.

This means that from this moment on, any post that uses AI as a creation or generation tool to create the posts - including images and texts - is strictly prohibited. This ban includes content out of Reddit (e.g. Youtube video links) shared to the subreddit. This also includes content that has been made even partly with the help of an AI. If you can't make the post yourself, you can't post it

The foundation of the quality content this subreddit strives for starts with human-made content, not prompts and magic word boxes that comes with its load of environmental and moral flaws. As such, we have decided to create this rule effective immediately.

We understand some users on the subreddit may be fans of AI-generated content, and we want to make things clear: you are not banned or forbidden to post and comment on the subreddit, AI content is. You have the right to disagree with this new rule and to express this disagreement, just remember to stay civil and respectful in that disagreement.
