Dear Journal....
I was on tumblr yesterday, as I usually am most days and was going on the furry tag when I stumbled upon this post. http://jordihall.tumblr.com/post/27033979882/uh According to the user, a few furries were saying how sexy the picture was (when only one furry blog liked the post, didnt even reblog it). I decided to message back saying, "Just because a person likes your photo does not mean theyre using it for sexual desires. Just be happy and greatful for the attention its getting and educate yourself about the furry fandom please before you make assumptions."
Well in return I get this lovely message back:
"I'm sorry, did you see the messages that I received from people telling me how turned on they were, and to post more pictures from the scene? No, you didn't. Assuming, much? And as for my original post: I made it very clear. I do not care, at all, what furries do in their bedrooms. But what I do care about, is them utilizing my photography into something that it is not made for. I know enough about "furry fandom" to know that I don't want my name attached to someone's blog about their attraction. I am a working photojournalist, and I do not want any kind of association with the furry lifestyle. Back off."
I asked her for proof and she gave me none, so I replied with, "Im in no way accusing you of being wrong at being insulted if some really is ‘turned on’ by your picture. I agree thats kinda extremely disgusting to be attracted to that sort of thing. I as a furry am an animals right activist, ad many furries are, and in no way condone the exploitation of animals for sexual desires. All Im just saying is that not all furries are out there to do kinky bedroom shit and grovel over dead animals. There might be one or two bad eggs in the fandom but that does not mean we are all terrible people, and I wish you would just educate yourself on that before slandering the entire fandom over it and having a negative view over the majority of the furry fandom. Sorry if I came off rude or anything, as that is not my intent, I just wish to make that clear. I just want to inform you that this is not a professional way to handle this situation and judgement is not the greatest route to take if you wish to have a successful career."
Idk, am i in the wrong here? I mean there are quite a bit of furries that are know for and have admitted to weird sexual desires wihich i find normal in the furry community, and it is true death and pain are one of those, but I feel like her judge mental view over furries is making her talk out of her ass....
This is one thing I hate about how people judge. I mean I've been judged all my life. I'm not the most social of people and therefore I'm ridiculed as weird in public and so on. But it's even worse when one of the things i'm most strongly attached to is constantly attacked.. idk it's hard to defend you know? Ugh idk i know a lot of you guys have to deal with this too so thats why im sharing it with you,...
tl;dr
judging something you barely know about does not make you professional
