A call to arms.

EDIT: The original journal entry by Razor was removed at the request of the establishment where FurBQ was held.
This. THIS. I have NO WORDS.
For those of you who have not clicked on the link yet, here's a brief recap to urge you to do so: FurBQ is a charity event held in Jew Jersey. Or it was, seeing as the FurBQ is no longer allowed to happen due to the ridiculous, selfish and downright destructive behaviour of a pair of fur suiters who decided to showcase their sexual activities on the hood of a vehicle while at the charity. The damages to the reputation of our fandom, as well as to the charity itself (which is no longer being supported in that town), and to the venue which was generously hosting it, are quite a lot indeed. Several people are in risk of losing their jobs and the establishment was fined for the behaviour, when they themselves had nothing to do with two people's need to have sex in full view of city officials and children.
Out of respect for
razor_wulff and his wishes, posted in his journal about the matter, I am not listing the dollar amount of the damages in mine or any specific details about what happened. Just take my word for it when I say that it is a lot of money.
Honestly, I have to shake my head. Every group on the planet is judged by the worst in their lot, and over the course of history we have seen a lot of our species' "worst". This blatant disregard for basic common decency is one more of the reasons I despair for humanity, because you would honestly have to be some kind of malicious fuck to deliberately ruin a charity drive.
BUT HERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS.
reaux started a ChipIn donation box to help the venue where the charity was being held, along with the individuals our fandom's actions have intentionally hurt. I am posting this link because I implore you, the part of our fandom which is comprised of sane, decent beings, to click on this link and spare a dollar. You do not have to give 5, 10, or 20 bucks. And you certainly do not have to give more than that. But if a hundred people give one dollar, that is one hundred dollars that this donation did not have before.
Every dollar, every cent, counts.
