dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip - Waiting for the Beat to Kick In
Even the nicest of guys have some nasty within' 'em
You don't have to be backlit to be the villain
Whether it's greed, lust or plain vindictiveness
There's a level of malevolence inside of all of us
And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final sign off,
My friends, I'll keep it short,
This fandom, I'm going to layoff,
I've been here for six years,
Some would say that's quite well done,
But yes, just to recap, goodbye fur fandom.
They say that the best way to leave a fandom properly is in silence.
Much like I hope to do with my life, I go out singing, dancing and surrounded by friends.
WHY?
It probably became clear with my hiatus a few weeks back - and the conclusions eventually drawn from it - that I am personally unhappy with the current state of the furry fandom, for reasons I do not wish to elaborate on here (for fear of sparking all manner of drama). While I have made some attempts to reorient my approach and way of thinking, it honestly doesn't seem to be worth the time, I'm just trying to prolong my presence somewhere I don't want to be. Stockholm Syndrome, I called it previously. So I'm going cold turkey.

BUT I'M YOUR FRIEND! :(
Allow me to clarify some things however, this is not about the people, mostly not about people anyway. If you're my friend in the fandom then you're still my friend, I'm just not in the fandom anymore. If your friendship with me was dependent on us both being furries, it wasn't a very good friendship - was it?
You're all totally free to add other Twitter accounts and other messengers, lots of my other accounts elsewhere will remain active pretty much indefinitely.
CONCLUSION
I'm going to be around today. After that everything goes quiet.
Make your peace.

I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving for the time being. Hopefully one day you will feel like you will be able to return. We'll always welcome you with open arms, man. ^^ (It's a shame I never got to properly meet you in RL either, but maybe one day~)

Depends. If the friendship were about furries, it could still be an important friendship considering yours and their involvement at one time or another.

As one of the first people I truly connected with in the fandom (and one of the first furries I met IRL), I wish you an unlimited amount of best. I know not your reasons, but totally defend your right to go. I'll see you around on the 'normal' channels - take it easy.

Well, be seeing you one place or another, I suppose.

It's a shame to see you go... but I hope to see you around elsewhere nonetheless.

How did I miss this? This is the best news I've ever heard. After trying so hard to pretend you're important to furries and failing, you've finally given up and moved on.
