Maybe exiting the fandom
11 months ago
Sadly in around 3 short months I maybe forced to start leaving the fandom I've been apart of almost 20 years.
From my earliest days on furcadia I feel that with the upcoming implementation of project 2025 that the fandom, being involved with the fandom maybe to dangerous.
Some of you may remember I use to be more willing to go to cons and meets but with the rise of fascism in the US I have felt less and less safe. Every time I see a friend with something like (Name)@(furrycon) or something along those lines. I worry that con will be the first attacked by some right wing, red hatted looser.
Now I worry that that will become national policy.
Ill wait as long as I can but don't be surprised if I disappear one day.
Its been fun, stay safe and fight the upcoming good fight

Nothing is certain just yet. Not while there are at least a few people willing to stand up. From the few people on the admin. who are not under that guy's thumb to the people who are willing to go on the streets and protest for their rights.
As long as there is resistance, no person will be able to just go and do as they please.
If you eventually decide to leave, it will be sad, but it will be your decision. But don't do it just yet. Wait and see. Maybe it will all turn around. For now, like Edmond Danté, wait and hope.
Wait and hope that the common sense and the basic human decency will prevail.
It is pretty much what I am doing now.
But, I should let you know that I don't live in America, so maybe my advise is somewhat worthless considering I am not in immediate risk...
Even if the worst happens there, the fandom will carry on, outside of the US. and hopefully you'd be able to get to a safer country.

Now, I know you don't follow sports, but to me, that's a hint.

Canada has three major furry conventions: CanFURence, Furnal Equinox and VancouFur.
