A Rather Nice Story

--This is going to be a long and very offensive rant. I'm about to unabashedly tell you why I haven't been around at all for about a year. I may or may not actually come back to check for any responses. Yes, I'm alive and doing fine, for those of you who have been concerned.--
It's taken a long, long time to even get the stomach to bother coming back on here to post a journal about my current status.
A long story short, I've left the fandom. Thank every freaking sex addict and drama-queen that you know, and if you are one, thank your freaking self. I've had it with these douchewads.
My reason for coming on here this day is because since I've left, the unfinished business bothers my conscience somewhere in my dreams - and, as you can assume, I've woken up from yet another one.
I don't want to be associated with the sordid business that is the furry fandom. Because, regardless of how much denial it goes through, it IS a concentration of sex-addicts with little other motive than to masturbate. Now, not every furry is a sex-addict or drama-queen, because I've met a good handful of decent, pleasant ones, and I want to thank those of you who HAVE been decent to me during my time in the fandom. Thank you for not crawling into my pants. Thank you for staying sane and reasonable. I wish you didn't have to go through all the fandom's bullcrap.
There really isn't a complete escape from the fandom, because once you have that furry label, you will have every nasty trait of the fandom FOLLOWING you and waiting to rape you brutally in the ass when you really don't want it to. I'm glad I've got understanding friends in real life who at least don't associate me with all those negative traits, but the furry label is going to stick forever, and I hate it.
As some of you can tell already, I've also mostly quit Second Life. And I'm sure I don't need to reiterate myself as to why. But, at the same time, it's sort of hard not to want to go back on...mostly for the sake of having an avatar and running around in different simulators. I still am an ardent fan of dress-up and roleplay, which were two of my favorite pastimes while playing SL. The other half of my time was spent socializing (or trying to socialize, ick) with other furries. Not even decent furries. Just ones that were looking for their next fuck or fap material. Or ones that just wanted to rape everything that moved with their closed-minded opinions, like how everyone with a religion or special avatar parts should die, etc. Something cute and revolutionary like that. Because apparently, it is totally admirable and thoughtful to hate on people who may be different from you (ironic that I should say that; most of the fandom is that way in general, despite its claims of being so free and open-minded.)
On a slightly more positive side to this rant, I may not be gone forever. There may actually come a day where I'll gather my nerve and come back to the fandom. Just maybe. But that's not going to be for a long time, most likely.
I still like tasteful anthropomorphic art, and I still secretly like to draw anthros on rare occasion. And I might even return to Second Life at some point. But I'm obviously going to be very selective with the furries I associate with, cause I really don't want to wind up back in the same pothole I sank into before. I might even return here to FA to post my own artwork (I never closed this account because I know that there are people who still do enjoy my artwork, and it's a pet peeve of mine when pictures I enjoy get taken down for whatever reason.)
Even if I do return to the fandom, I will most likely NEVER be as involved in it as I once was. I will never identify as strongly with it, either. Art will be probably be my primary venue. As for any ideas of ever going to furry conventions? Those are quite gone. I don't think I could stand that amount of concentrated idiocy.
This mostly ends my rant for now, unless I decide to come back on later and rant some more or something.To those of you who were good friends of mine and have worried about me, I'm sorry to have worried you for so long. The other reason I posted this rant is so that you know what happened to me, and I'm hoping that you don't have to worry so much anymore. I have been hiding from Skype and MSN because I didn't even want to face anything furry-related, and also, in hopes of not getting sucked back into the disgusting drama-fest. I might come back on to Skype at some point in time, but that may not be for a long while. Again, I'm still very adverse to anything furry fandom-related, and it's going to take a while for me to get my nerve back.

I don't blame ya, I did the same thing, was gone for months and now, I'm slowly getting back onto the computer, on to FA and other furry things. I'm not ready to get back onto SL yet though (may -never- be).
Furries usually bring a cluster fuck of drama and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who was tired of getting sucked into it.
I do wish that things weren't that way for ya but it's understandable. Hope to see you around in the semi-near future, I love your art... and from what I've met and seen from you, you seemed like a great person.
Wishing you the best~!
