THE CAPS MEAN I'M EXTRA HOMELESS!
One of these days I'll have a wank that's not from FurAffinity. Today is not that day.

Allan (NOT WORK SAFE), unlike many of the users on FurAffinity, isn't an artist. Rather, he's someone who is best known for commissioning artists often and posting what he buys to his account. This is one thing that Allan is known for. Another thing that Allan is known for is being 37 and constantly begging for money or a place to live, as he seems to have a rather nasty habit of being kicked out of whatever home he crashes in. He's been accused of stealing, not even trying to find a job, and still buying commissions from artists at a fairly steady rate. Often very expensive commissions. Involving his black wolf DJ character shirtless and with his penis hanging out.

Today, Allan posts a journal with a very urgent message:

I AM SITTING IN FRONT OF http://www.comfortinn.com/hotel-brooklyn-new_york-NY275

I AM RELYING ON THEIR WIFI SIGNAL

I AM HOMELESS AND JOBLESS AND I NEED A TEMPORARY PLACE TO STAY

I AM FREEZING OUT HERE

SOMEONE, ANYONE PLEASE SEND HELP


At first, there are a lot of people expressing their concern over Allan's well-being. After awhile though, doubters start to trickle in.

rupertfox "WARNING! Allan is a well known sponger who begs for money and spends it on commissions and who moves from place to place taking advantage of peoples good nature to live in their place and eat their food without working. When they kick him out after getting fed up with his sponging, like here, he just tries to take advantage. WARNING!"

These doubters are promptly dogpiled by Allan's friends, but soon there are many more people expressing skepticism at the situation. For one thing, Allan had posted a commission he'd purchased just a few hours before making the journal. Some people suggest a local homeless shelter and are also scorned. Allan himself replies to a few people with a 'GO FUCK YOURSELF!' and letting them know they're blocked from his page. Which some people point out is an odd thing for him to have time to do.

SubmissiveTrout: "Why do people defend this guy? I don't understand it."
jeffkage:"BECAUSE WE'RE HIS FRIENDS Thats why we defend him. Maybe if you weren't such a dick you'd understand that"

It has gotten to the point that even the head admin of the site, Dragoneer, has come in to lecture Allan: "This is going to be the most un-admin like thing I'll ever write, but... Stop commissioning people. Pay your rent. Stop getting kicked the fuck out of where you live."

And so it goes.

ETA: On lulz.net (think /b/ for furries -- meaning VERY NOT WORK SAFE. Or brain safe. Don't browse there.) the topic is also being discussed. Among the comments is a supposed claim from someone who called to try and help Allan: "What angers me the most, is that I offered to help this person. As I was calling people I knew in New York, he began asking me, out of NOWHERE, "So, how do you want to draw my character?" Worthless."

ETA the Second: Dragoneer has banned Allan and posted a journal about why.
