As is true for a lot of this kind of concerns

some people need to get a fucking grip.

Besides being so bitchy about it just begs for you to tailwrap them and let them have a face first sample to actually give a valid reason for complaints ;p

Yes. In the furry world I could absolutely do that. My concern is more for IRL stuff where no tail exists. The one where people could just stop hanging out with me on Twitch and such. That said, I'd rather be honest about it from the get-go so I don't have to be worried about someone coming out later and saying "Abby has a fart fetish!" and it be damaging.

I know what you mean darling. It's not easy being honest and open. I know from experience. People will look at you differently, treat you differently than they did before, and begin showing their true colors. It quite frankly stinks, and not in a fun way.. It's what I went through over on DeviantArt before telling the site as a whole to go to Hell.

The silver lining though? You'll gain a true following of people who enjoy you & your content for what it honestly is, as opposed to putting up a charade & not being honest with yourself. Don't ever settle for less when trying to be your best~

Honestly, I don't think anyone has treated me different thus far. Maybe I'm just lucky on that? Or maybe I'm just oblivious.

I think you're right for the second half though. Anyone who follows me now gets to know me truly for who I am. A loving person is explorative and open ❤️

Indeed ^w^

You're right, sweetie. ^!^ *Snuggles* 🦨🤗🥰💗🦨 You will be loved and embraced for who you are. ^!^ Because you're a wonderful skunk. ^!^
And if you're ever doubting that people will still love you even when you open up about being a stinky skunk, well I hope that other stinkers like me, Stinky, etc can help erase those doubts. ^!^ If anything, being more open about your diverse tastes will help bring in more people to accept you! ^!^
And it'll help you express your love in more ways. Stinky ways! 🦨💨💚 ^!^
