Foxpup's Merit Cycling Club

[tainted_love]

A few months ago I was engaged in a debate with one individual who wore this avatar:



Then I started noticing others wearing it, but didn't really think anything of it; it must be some club I'm not invited to join.  Then I stumbled onto two old-timers hurling insults at each other in the Reputation section, which lead me to this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5121375.0  I noticed that several high ranking members are wearing that avatar.

I believe that at least one high ranking individual is being paid to wear that avatar, but apparently others are wearing it to promote whatever this represents.  Based on the discussion between Foxpup and BayAreaCoins I concluded that Foxpup is a pornographer.  Is this true?  Is that what's being promoted by the avatar?  After learning this I did notice that the fox in the graphic does look sexualized,  I'm asking out of curiosity, and I'm anxious to hear from the people wearing the avatar.  What is it you're promoting?

OP, what does the text in the avatar say?
try reading it again, but really think about it this time.
does the word "merit" and "cycling" ring any bells?
that's the answer you are looking for.

Actually, you've got it backwards. Nearly everyone wearing that avatar is being paid to do so, and only a few have ever worn simply to promote whatever it represents. Even though all it represents is a practical joke that got way out of hand. It's just a friendly jab at those who accuse high-ranking forum members of merit cycling, that's all.

Based on the discussion between Foxpup and BayAreaCoins I concluded that Foxpup is a pornographer.  Is this true?

Of course it's true. All that porno with my name on it didn't graph itself, after all.

Is that what's being promoted by the avatar?

While altersex furry pornography isn't outright promoted by my avatar (except on a few special occasions), everyone in the club understands that I have a reputation to maintain and is supportive of my work.

Be honest, did you ever notice a fox that didn't?

EDIT: After checking OP's post history, it seems clear he would benefit from seeing what my work represents (it is that time of year again, after all):



Stay mad, bro. 🦊

Child boards?  Pornographer?  What the sick shit is this?  Did you just out yourself as a purveyor of kiddie porn?  Did one of the porn promoters just give you 37 merits for doing so?  Or do you folks just think that sort of thing is amusing?

Furry porn?  Never mind, pretend I didn't ask.  Thanks for answering my question.  It's helpful to know where the moral compass of others is pointing before dealing with them or engaging them in debate.

Be honest, did you ever notice a fox that didn't?

Um, yeah!  Like, every one I've ever seen!  Does it strike you as weird that bestiality isn't my thing?

Noted!

Haha, you have nothing that appeals to me let alone benefit me, I guarantee you that.  No, what you promote and provide is anything but beneficial, but I think you already know that.

Stay mad, bro. 🦊

Mad?  Not likely.  I will, however pray for you and all those who think it's appropriate, even humorous to promote degeneracy.  

Stay blessed, bro. ♱

Are you for real? If so, you should read Wiki: Child process.
You're currently posting in Reputation, which is a child board of Trading Discussion, which is a child board of Economy.

What do you think CPFP (Child Pays For Parent) means in Bitcoin? Child labor?

Are you suggesting that the members of Foxpup's merit cycling club exchange pornographic material and get paid for it?
I am really curious to see which post exactly led you to this conclusion.

But, I wanna say, even if I don't think I should really explain myself, that when I talked about the following, I was just messing around:

The "who" is very easy to realize.

The "why" is not very easy, but to get paid you must be a member of an exclusive club, where various shenanigans take place, among which, the most frequent ones are:

(a) merit cycling between the members.
(b) abnormal, kinky, sexual favours.
(c) every type of perversion is a bonus (as long as it's legal and consensual).

As a club, there are inside jokes that are all legal and nobody gets harmed by what happens in the foxhole.

Having a good sense of humour is a must for being a club member. Don't forget that the whole idea was at first (as Foxpup said) a joke.

Suggestions:
1. Don't take everything too seriously.
2. Don't believe every single post you read that blames other users.
3. Read other users' post history. The way someone posts explains a lot about their attitude and their overall way of thinking.

Finally, please note the following:
There is a reason why almost all of the members have a good reputation and high (sometimes too high) merit / trust ratings. They are all helpful users and great assets for the forum.

What a way for the OP to make a ridiculous fool of himself for god's sake.

I don't know if you've ever stopped to think that you're making some pretty rubbish accusations against probably the most reputable group of users on the forum (and when I say reputation I mean it as a global concept, not just referring to bitcointalk's reputation system).

The bad thing about forums is that sometimes honest people have to waste their time dismantling rubbish like this. I understand that those of the merit cycling avatar feel challenged but I think the best thing is the mentality nutildah expresses in the neutral tag he has left for the OP. I was going to leave another neutral tag but I don't think it adds anything. I'm going to put the OP on ignore which I think is the best thing to do.

What do you think CPFP (Child Pays For Parent) means in Bitcoin? Child labor?

I wonder how OP will react to term "slave/master" and "whitelist/blacklist" without knowing the context.

P.S. The context is digital computing.

What do you think CPFP (Child Pays For Parent) means in Bitcoin? Child labor?

All of us know it's inverse of child support .

Are you for real?

I'm just glad he didn't try to read too much into my username, which at this point can only be considered yet another joke nobody will get anymore. It definitely isn't an indicator of my age, which I'm sure OP will be relieved to learn is well above the age of consent to produce pornography in my jurisdiction.

Reserving my seat in the thread for when OP claims that the gang members are bots considering some posts happen at specific periods of time (the damn flux capacitor keeps leaking...)

I did notice that the fox in the graphic does look sexualized

Sounds like someone's really struggling with that closet door...

[tainted_love]

I expected to get roasted for posting this, especially by suckups who don't want to jeopardize their merit train.  What I didn't expect is for some in the merit cycling club to become so defensive.

Am I judgemental?  Of course I am.  Should you care what I think?  No, you shouldn't.  I certainly don't care what's thought of me by a bunch of immoral and ethicless individuals on the Sodom and Gomorrah of internet forums.  We seem to have it all here, gambling, usury, and pornography.  I hope you're proud of how progressive you've all become.

I got into bitcoin to help elevate humanity, end our dependence on Centralized Banking, reduce the power of corruption, end the slave trade otherwise known as "corporate jobs."  I've been blessed immeasurably by my adaptation.  Of course I'm aware of it's uses in illicit and unfavorable trades.  Freedom is an inherent part of our humanity.  We're all free to choose between the path of Supreme Guidance or that of evil.

I asked my question and got my answer.  I considered locking this thread, but I think I'll leave it open and let y'all continue to amuse yourselves at my your own expense.  But, I will ask one more, although rhetorical question before I leave you to it:  

Do any of you have daughters?

[apogio]

Do any of you have daughters?

Yeah. Not many, but at least one. What does this mean? Where do you wanna conclude?

[suchmoon]

Do any of you have daughters?

LOL I'm kinda tempted to show this condescending righteous trollfuckery to my daughter, I bet she'd get a good laugh. But OPSEC.

Well, let's just say that mine isn't able to understand anything just yet. But if she was, she 'd definitely laugh. But I guess we 're wasting our own time, chatting with this troll, no need to waste our children time as well.

[Foxpup]

Do any of you have daughters?

No, but I do have a niece, at least presumptively, she being far too young to tell if my gender confusion is hereditary. I'll be sure to let you know if it later turns out I have a nephew. What difference does it make anyway?

Lol, I must admit you do have a relatable and likable sense of humor.  I know what you're trying to do, but it's not going to work.

Despite what nutildah wrote on my feedback page I'm not hear to troll, at least not in this thread.  I didn't intend to embarrass any of you, or scold you, and I didn't mean to come off as condescending.  If none of that was clear, or I overstepped my intentions, then please accept my apology.  I started this thread to ask some thought provoking questions, and I hope some of you consider the answers while being completely honest with yourselves.

God Bless!

The only thing I am hoping, for you, not for us, is that the motive of this thread was that you were afraid that we may have been doing illegal stuff. In this case, I can justify you.

On the other hand, if your motive was that you were insulted by our sexuality, I don't accept the apology, because we have never (I repeat never) been violent, brutal or insulting against any other member.

Finally, you didn't manage to embarrass any of us. You don't have that amount of power over us.

// I will just ignore your question about our daughters, since you clearly asked it trying desperately to make a scene.

"Is it true that Foxpup is a pornographer?" is not a thought provoking question, and answering honestly did not require significant consideration on my part. You should have just asked about my gender like everyone else does, because that question's way more complicated. (Not that I would have answered; I don't like the idea of other people being less confused about my gender than I am. That just wouldn't be fair.)
