It has just come to my attention that Travis has created a new deviantART account under the name of PanicComics and he announced his newly made account on this tread. I’m going to quote the most important parts of what he said in the thread:
“OFFICIAL PANIC COMICS ‘SITE’ HERE!!!”
“You're probably asking ‘why deviantart, isn't it dead?’ Exactly. Personally, I'd rather have an audience of like-minded people on a dead site than have everyone and their grandma's dog on a popular place, with all the drama that comes with that.”
“Also from here on out, any comics/stories I make will be on there, so I don't spam y'all's timelines with Josh's bare ass backing away from his screaming relatives (or whatever). I'll pin links to the stories on there, but other than that, this account will only be for art stuff”
“With all this outta the way, please visit my dA (I'm still working on it) and enjoy!”
Personally, I fail to see how deviantART is “dead” site. Just because the site is run incompetent admins, that there are bad people on that site (such as Travis), there are submissions that Travis doesn’t agree with (e.g. furry art, amateur art, memes, etc.) that complies with the site rules and the likes doesn’t mean that the site is dead. If anything, deviantART is still alive. It just needs to be put on the right track and it can start with the admins getting acts to together and for them to take care of actual problems, such as bad users like Travis.
I don’t know what he means by “like-minded people” but I have the high suspicion that they might be just like his older followers that are on deviantART that can be found on his DoubleTwithaB account. Come to think of it, his older followers that have watched his original deviantART account could eventually discover his newly made one!
In regarding to his “harmless” stories that he made on Twitter in recent memory that he would upload to his new dA account and his “art” that would be uploaded to the Twitter account that he’s currently using, he may make stories that are just as bad as his “art” since he’s already made some hate “art” in the past. That and he may create new hate “art” on his Twitter account and to reupload his older works to there.
So like Travis said, his new dA is a work in progress which means that even more suspicious activity could be brewing up. As a matter of fact, Travis has made some new hate “art” on his original deviantART account, attacking the furry community! I couldn’t see the newly made hate “art” due to the fact that it has a mature filter, but I’m guessing that the “art” would stereotype all furries into something that they are not and that said stereotypes would be untrue. (Note: he has stereotyped furries from before, along with other fandoms, such as My Little Pony fans, Sonic fans, etc.) His recent activity further proves that he needs to be banned from social media permanently and to have all his “art” deleted, no matter how harmful or harmless it is.
So with that said, expect to see some changes to the petition’s description anytime soon!
