'cause they're fake, lmao.
But seriously. This is something that I've been thinking about for a long time now.
Unfortunately I'm starting to become dissatisfied with my artistic talent, due to relying on this...somewhat controversial fandom.
I don't hate it, necessarily. It's just pitiful how some people actually treat this as a carefree cult.
I still love and respect my friends.
But some of the decisions others make, whether it's physically, emotionally, or financially...it gets so out of hand.
So I know what you're thinking. Just leave entirely.
But what good would that do?
I'm no quitter. But sometimes there's a limit as to how much I can withstand in one sitting.
I don't want to be involved with people who only care about porn and collecting art as if it was a sport.
THIS ISN'T INCLUDING EVERYONE. But some things just have to be said.
I don't wish to socialize with those who treat artists like gods (or pawns, depending on the person). It's really disappointing to know that there are popufurs out there who forget about their irl troubles and decide to indulge themselves with porn of their so-called 'characters', simply for the purpose of gaining popularity.
I know that not every person within this fandom has that mentality. But the amount that /does/ exist is already too much in my opinion.
But I digress. What does this have to do with me?
Well, it's affecting my artistic motivation. Like, I don't want others' first impressions of Panini to consider her a slut.
I only interpret that prophecy because I've asked others if I tend to milk her personality a little too much. From one perspective, she'll most likely be seen as a carefree individual who just so happens to partake in provocative actions and gestures, although not entirely aware of the propaganda that follows.
From another perspective, however...she can just be your everyday furry prostitute with no character whatsoever.
I think a bit of revamping is in order.
Does this mean that Panini will be gone forever? Not likely.
But I refuse to allow her to be affiliated with the negatives of this community. It's already bad enough as it is.
TL;DR
No art of Panini for a while.
IRC name will be changed to MCI for the time being.
Thank you.

Well, I support ya either way. If you need any help gettin' the creative juices flowing again, or you need somebody to talk to, or anything like that, I'll try my best to help. ;w;
But aaaaah I know I've been super distant lately and I apologize
I honestly didn't have the balls to mention it publicly until I realized it was affecting the morale of my own alternate fursona. xD
...whatever it is? o-o;
