You know what would be really fucking nice?
If furry kink niches were a bit pickier about who they let in. Because there's always people with fucking rancid politics, or people who like to harass others with requests for art/RP/screencaps of the niche kink. And some of these people think they're entitled to interact with whoever they want and throw a whiny fit when someone rightly sees that they're a dick and don't want anything to do with them.
It gets even worse when said rancid politics and harassment people have good standing within the niche kink community. Sometimes they end up having the monopoly on a niche kink because they obsessively chronicle it (and I thank god they're not here on FA because the entire content of their DA would be against FA's ToS). Sometimes they get really popular for their commissions, their rancid political posts are just brushed under the rug, and someone you trusted who puts on a big show about how progressive they are gets one of those commissions.
And sometimes they barge in on your buddy's twitch stream out of nowhere, you recognize them for being a troublesome person and nip that shit in the bud, and then you get in trouble for banning them because "you didn't consult your buddy first" and "it looks like you just banned them for no reason." There is a fucking reason I banned them, I shouldn't have to fucking overexplain why I did it, and if anyone has a problem with me banning a person who is prone to bigotry and harassment, maybe they're not welcome on your stream either. Goddamn.
I'm not saying we have to be all politics all the time. But we can't avoid it entirely. And sometimes, if you want a community to be healthy and welcoming, you need to kick out the people who are being shitters. And if they refuse to learn their lesson and spend the rest of their lives alone and miserable over it... good. They fucking deserve it.
I'm not naming any names because first of all FA ToS, and second of all I don't want to be known as "the guy who started a harassment campaign." Would be pretty hypocritical of me if I complained about harassment then encouraged it myself.
What else would be really nice is if my life in general stopped going completely to fucking shit. How fucking fair is it that I have to be miserable and irritable constantly, and keep putting off and putting off things I want to do because both my forms of OCD keep getting set off? And yet shitty people get to feel happy and get what they want and not feel the same misery? Fuck all of this.
