So I went and looked up that news story on the forums, and about 80% of the replies to that thread were, in a nice way, calling me stupid for suiting at a library, when all I did was refill my water bottle and shake a girl's hand. This is what I posted.
Holy Christ, everyone is making assumptions! This is kind of irritating. I was suiting at a place not far from the library and needed to refill my water bottle. I went into the library, filled up my water bottle, and noticed a little girl standing next to me. I shook her hand and let go, then left the library, no children in tow, at least as far as I could tell with my restricted vision. Somehow, the staff took that as ZOMG A PEDOPHILE'S LEADING A CHILD AWAY TO GO RAPE HER! I'm not saying the child didn't follow me, I don't know if she did or not, but the only contact I had with that little girl was a handshake. I was not suiting at the library, it was a pit stop. I just wish people would stop criticizing me for petty rumors they heard on the news and over the Internet, neither of which you can trust with honesty. It makes me feel awful to know that people out there see me as a criminal, when all I really did was stop in there for about 5 minutes, with no intention of anything but getting some water. Just goes to show how stupid and oblivious society can be when it comes to the truth. It also makes me very upset to see that this fandom, one of the most supportive out there, is also choosing to criticize me for something I didn't do, and do it harshly at that. Going far enough to call me stupid and immediately assume that the news has the entire story, even from the point of view of the furry, whose identity they don't even know, is insulting to me and to the fandom. I honestly expected more support from you guys, but this is very upsetting and disappointing. It breaks my heart to see that people in this fandom are so quick to judge when they don't even know the whole story.
tl;dr: you guys are being way too judgemental for something you know nothing about, and I think you should get your facts straight before calling someone out like this.

I don't even know why people bother to watch the news, even when war is going on the media is obviously going to make the enemy sound like like the devil when they're people like us too, both with different point of views and fighting for who knows what. But I mean really, can people not think for themselves anymore? And it's absurd to say "well you shouldn't be suiting at a library" considering there are children anywhere and everywhere. It's not the place that really matters.

society should stick their heads up their rear ends. Judging someone is wrong. especially if they dont know the whole story.

Well, the thing is, society never gets the whole story, so they learn to trust what they hear on the news.
