Wow 30+ fursonas?! *dumb rant most should ignore!*

Welcome! This is where I write things and stuff!
Yeah you read that right. I just accidentally played "Detective" onto a furs page who had 35 fursonas. Just fursonas.
They then had a whole list of "other characters" that was like 20 characters long.
then another complete for ponies that had at least ten.......
Almost all of their art was porn as well...... almost all, like they would have two pictures instead of three pages is safe for work mode was on.
Well guys, I have met the walking embodiment of the kind of fur I hate and never want to deal with. I don't say this lightly either.
I found their page because they were causing a lot of trouble to a fursuit maker a few years back and I wanted to see if they ever got the suit they bitched so much about. It looks like they put up a huge stink over nothing and never got the suit but the art they had and the "fursonas" they had.....
Lets just say I haven't blocked an account and connecting accounts so fast in my life! Joking but not really.
I wouldn't care so much but 35 is excessive and just dumb. I understand one or two maybe three fursonas to really play up each character but if you have 35 different sides I probably already want nothing to do with you. How can you possibly care as much as you should about your fursona about 34 other characters at the same time. I could have this person wrong but from the stupid things they had posted and the *ahem* "fursonas" that they had I wanted nothing to do with them and blocked them before I started drama... bleh!
I just feel that you can't have that many "fursonas" and have any of them be your actual fursona let alone all of them at once. It feels like this person wants as many characters as possible so they never have to settle on one and they call them all fursonas because of what I was talking about the last time I talked about this.
I feel like this person uses fursona to describe any character that has any traits that even resemble traits they themselves have and this is simply stretching the word to cover ones own insecurities. I honestly think this person is very self centered or they wouldn't identify with so many characters so easily... I also think they make characters just to have characters of different species and colors so they always have something to draw instead of being a little more creative.
I only bring this up because their "fursonas" all have like three alter egos which are pretty much "Nina" "Nina evil" "Nina hoe" and other similar things that are almost redundant. I suppose I would be less critical if they weren't "fursonas" but were just characters because that's what they seem like. They could also use better names as some of them were BAD, like Egypt the Egyptian bad.... I just think this person could do a lot better but then I think of the big stink they put up and think I'm probably giving them too much credit.
I also have a problem with people who only have porn of their fursona(s). This person had an abundance of that. :/ I get that people like the roll playing side of it and such but this is a little ridiculous.
I guess I should put this under "furries ruin everything" even being furry x.x but it just upset me to think about how much my Runzi means to me and see this joker use the term on so many characters that probably don't mean anything but porn entertainment for them. I'm sure the character at the top of the list was probably their ACTUAL fursona but for whatever reason they felt they needed 34 others to fill some void. All I wish is that people would really respect the term fursona and not abuse the privilege of expressing oneself. It's like when assholes protest funerals because they "Have the right to", yes you do but you're completely abusing it like the douche nozzle you are! Whatever I need to stop yammering on about it and just move on.
Ok I think I'm about done... I'm only writing this to vent frustration so don't take this personally anyone! I'm just dumbfounded and saddened mostly :/ BLEH! I'll stop being a butt now!
oh well can't win them all X.x
on a side note my block list is up to like 7 accounts already O.o Don't know if that's a really good thing but i suppose it's pretty good for being on here the amount I have been :3 hahaha
This was also a lot longer than I thought O.o oops! Sorry for the long annoying post guys!
FA+

I think people have one sona that really is the animal embodiment of them, and then every one after that they lose a little bit of themselves when they have so many sonas, or honestly just dont know who they are.
Also after maybe two or three don't these fursonas seem too alike to each other? I mean they are supposed to be like you after all?
I could see people having a few, especially if they represent different aspects of ones personality, but at a certain point I think they are just "characters" and no longer personal.
I think after a few fursonas the characters are either not you anymore or are too alike each other? hmm
It is who I want to be, but for some reason I can't bring my normal self to be that way.
Something to think about anyway.
Unless there's something I don't understand because I'm not 100% furry.
I like the idea of adoptables but they definitely aren't sonas X3 Sonas should mean a lot more than just another cute character right?
I personally only have one fursona, the animal form of myself (which is how I perceive the term) and one character who is actually a memorial character of a dog I had for 14 years. My fursona and my character, though both very different from each other, mean a lot to me. I just don't see how a fursona/character could have any "life" when you have ~35 of them. That's just character abuse, man.
I have many characters but only two fursonas (by my standards) Runzi and her twin brother Runjo (the real me and if I were male) and I agree if you have that many characters there is no way you can give each of them any kind of life!
If you have multiple fursonas generally they show different side of you, Like for me male and female, but after a few different characters wouldn't the characters be too different from you to be fursonas or to alike each other to be their own characters?
