NaNo Novel: Here Falls The Thunder
Sometimes, you folks in the fandom here really piss me off. It's nothing personal, I'm glad I met you guys, and that I'm a part of his group. Otherwise who knows where'd I be. But there are moments in which being around you all makes me want to bang my head into a wall and induce a concussion.
For example:
1) Most notably, this cub porn shit. I had a best friend of mine leave, because he "doesn't want to be on a website which supports pedophilia". I want to grab him and throttle him silly. What the hell?! You're going to leave over something as ridiculous as porn?! There are worse kinks out there than pedophilia, dammnit. Vore, Scat, Watersports, Bondage (Yes I said bondage, if you think I'm wrong, get in line). So now I lose a friend. I'm not mad at FA, no I'm mad at him for being so immature
2) Sometimes I have to stop and realize you're all a bunch of smut-loving furs. You either want to see sex, or nudity. I know that's not always the case, but damn, sometimes I look at the pics you guys watch, and shake my head. Now, I realize I'm being a hypcrite a bit, since my fave list is full of the same thing, but I realize that, unless you draw extremely well, or you draw smut, you get zip for attention.
Not that I'm an attention whore, but case in point, on my own FA Page, look at my two pictures, then notice where the majority of the comments are on. That's right, the nude pic. And it wasn't meant to be porno-graphic, merely a character model. I know that it's not as good as my first pic...but cmon...I get nothing.
3) I stopped drawing, because my fucking art teacher made us draw supermodels in magazine ads and bowls of fruit. That wasn't what I wanted to draw. I did some drawing of my own, but I found that I couldn't draw something original, something of my own. I found I could draw what was already drawn. I did some characters from Suikoden 2, Wild Arms 2, and a character from Chrono Cross. I also drew Mew and Mewtwo...back when the First Movie came out.
However, I became disillusioned with drawing, and since I couldn't get proper instruction, and didn't have the motivation to train myself (I wasn't even aware of the fandom at the time) I decided to switch over to writing as my medium of expression. And of course, when I enter the fandom, I find that, the written word holds little attention for the fandom, who, like humanity are general, are a visually oriented species. Which means my writing, unless containing smut of reasonable quality...is largely ignored.
Thus, I end my rant, as my fustration has been worked out of my system.

I also understand about the writing issue. I actually have over a hundred poems and a handful of short stories, but I decided against posting them in my gallery. Yeah, I did post about 10 poems, but got little attention. *shrugs* Doesn't bother me too much, but a little.
Just hang in there. ^_^ We're not all bad; there are some good individuals out there... just hard to find them sometimes.
But drawing supermodels isn't such a bad way to practice your anatomy (because you see all the bones)...
About furries:
Chill. :P
Theres hypocrisy EVERYWHERE. Just think about the anime fandom:
Everyone bashes furry for being weird, but a whole lotta weird fetishes have their biggest fanbase in anime... :B
Also, you're generalizing.
Just because some furs draw smut doesn't mean they have to approve pedophilia...
It's all about personal viewpoints.
Some people just don't like it. When people cannibalize each other and shit in each other's face, it usually involves dead people or ones that are already spoiled anyhow.
But when there's children in the game, it all ends up in screwed childhoods, finally in screwed people. O.o
And for some the act of DRAWING it is already bad enough.
K? ^^
As to the smut and stuff, well, hey, I enjoy it and I can't help that. I certainly appreciate what artists and writers do, though, regardless of content. However, I've never been one to give art much focus at all in any form (short of music, I suppose). A few seconds to look and I've enjoyed it. I also never liked reading much, even on topics I enjoy (and that includes fetishes) I just don't have the focus for it.
And why you won't draw, is beyond me ]:8P If you enjoy it, do it, who cares what it is.
I remember whenever I try drawing anime artwork, it gets little or no attention. So I stopped anime submissions on Y! gallery, but also, yes smut gets a lot more attention.
And also, I get VERY FEW comments but I'll get a buttload of watchers...I never got that at all. I kinda wish I came into the fandom earlier, really...
