I wholly disagree. If Jijix accepts his money, that's basically enabling Allan, which I think is pretty wrong. The guy needs to learn that having furries draw him is not tantamount to being popular.
I dunno, see, this one is kind of tricky. See, I need money to store for my education. I need it, I do. I am also not Allan's babysitter, nor his parent. It's not my place to advise him on how to behave.
At the same time, I am a human being with compassion. So... Yea.
Maybe so, but why should anyone else be held accountable for his stupidity? Either way he's not going to learn his lesson. If Jijix doesn't take his cash someone else probably will.
You'd think ending up homeless etc would be a hard enough brick wall already to knock sense into someone, but apparantly not.
As much as I hate ED, c'mon this guy was homeless and now he is getting furry commissions? I'd feel pretty guilty taking what money he has since amassed which can't be much if he was homeless in Jan.
Just in case you don't know what's going on; Allan is probably and most likely not actually homeless, he uses that facade to trick other furies into donating him money, to which he spends then on commissions and not food & shelter.
This kid has thousands of commissions, I estimate all were on average at least $10.00 and if so then he has about $30,000.00 in commissions all of which is other peoples art. EVEN IF it was $1.00 a commissions it's still $3000.00 and if it was $5.00 it would be $15,000.00.
I'd actually say it's about $20k myself. All from donations of other furies because he's always homeless, hungry, and needs their money. He plays off this fact and is in no way homeless, he's some fat-ass that's now sitting at home with thousands of commissions and possibly thousands of dollars.
Yes, take this douche's money, simply because anybody stupid enough to give him money deserves it stolen, and taking away his funds means at least the money went to SOME good cause; you need to go to school, he doesn't need the $60 or what-ever.
I know this is an old post, but I needed to say something. Too many of these comments made me really fucking sad.
It's a question of cash versus your conscience. If an artists knows they're dealing with someone with issues like this, if they choose cash over the fact that this clearly isn't someone that they should be doing dealings with because said person has an obvious issue that they need help for, then they're just a hustler.
The bottom line is that you know he has issues. And while I know someone's gonna scoff at this: If you're selling booze and some dude walks in, you sell him the booze. If some drunk walks in who needs a fucking bath and looks tired and hungry and clearly doesn't need more: then you have a choice to make. I wouldn't sell him the booze. That doesn't make me a nicer or better person than anyone else, it just means I understand what that shit is doing to him and I don't think it's right.

He's still running around trying to get pity from a few people and pestering mods on FA about his "wrongful" banning.

But that's me. So whatever.
