Required Reading: A Warning To Furries and Why I Am Leaving
Yes, I realise I'm 'leaving' the fandom in a pretty dumb way. But the main takeaway from this is: I do not want to be used as little more than a sex toy anymore. If we are good friends, or if we can talk about anything that's NOT centric around furry, then I will gladly keep you in my contacts list.
The issue more than anything is I have lost my self-respect because of the many people who pressed the issue of yiff around me, even after my warning that I didn't want it. People were perfectly okay with continuing to abuse me despite how I felt (I get the feeling people never really read the warning, if you thought I enjoyed the yiff you're dead wrong), and every attempt to remove myself from the problem people over the past year or so has only resulted in having more of those people around me.
I hope you can respect my decision and reasoning to leave. Especially while I'm studying in TAFE, I don't need to be distracted with drama and more yiff when I'm supposed to be researching.
I may return in the future but I would only keep to clean RP, even if I RP at all. But don't hold me to that.
For a while I need to focus on my future instead of servicing horny furs. Sorry.

Anyway, I'm sorry that this sort of stuff happened to you. If the people around you try to use you like that, then leaving them behind might be a good decision. Like, I know you from other places, and I think you're an ok guy. You can find new acquaintances who don't see you as an object.
Anyway, good luck.
Thinking about this a little more, this will probably be more of a break than anything else. I don't want to detach myself from aforementioned awesome people, but I definitely could do with less people only wanting one thing. :/
