FREEDOM~! (i won't letcha down~)

siiike~ i lied!

Well it is the month of American independence from Great Britain,
if i move back over there its technically a 'reclaim' right ?

' Brine, don't Bullshit us, where ya been ? '

sorry imaginary conversation i'm having with myself,
i needed a break from the Fandom, so 3 months was it i guess??
plus i was/am very busy... but i am hard on the fandom only because i
desperately want to see it improve. i feel the same way about the homosexual
community.

i don't feel appreciated, its my own esteem and self image issues i know,
but with no real gratifying feedback/reception of something i worked so hard
on its like why continue ? that and my reputation is FUCKED based on lies and
things beyond my control... i could understand if it was something i ACTUALLY
did, and there are enough fuck ups to put together an argument that i'm an
indecent person, but comparatively to others in the fandom i think i come out
the same or maybe slightly ahead, just because i try to make up for my
short-comings by being generous, helpful, and super accommodating.

i feel a target of hate because i'm not consumed by typical furry apathy,
the distilled hopelessness one feels about their outlook on life, there are
things we'd like to do one day, and then there are Goals, things we ARE
GOING TO DO. So i do everything i can, i BUST MY ASS to get what i've got
i'm not some rich kid, and it wasn't handed to me, i'm not imbued with
some superhuman intellect, i just use my own logic and rational to come up
with a means to an end.

Work a job, work hard, work as many hours as you can, plan for the future,
save, and set yourself up for Success, don't set yourself up for failure.
Thats been my feeling and my plan since i started my job and i continue
to live by that... Just find your ambition, your inner-spark thats gonna
change your life, make you wanna live for a better tomorrow! Do everything
in your power, and if its not in your power, then CLAIM IT, know in your heart
in your SOUL that you're gonna take what you need, and DO ANYTHING it takes to get there.
Call in that Favor, but don't beg, you've got to be at the end of the rope
before you result to taking from someone else. And count how many times you've
been at the end of your rope ? are they so frequent per year? then there has got to be
a change, better planning... but you can't sit in your own waste and feel
sorry for yourself and only wish things were better.

So thats one of the things wrong with the fandom, but there are other things,
also... Mainly the hypersensitive, hyper-reactive nature of furries which is
primarily a function of blatant ignoranace and stupidity.

A concrete example is the repetition of ridiculous idiotic statements,
i heard a guy in a furry chatroom say that if evil Sibe makes it on Dr.Phil
he's going to quit the fandom. There are so many things wrong with that statement.

1 - don't base your membership in the fandom on other people IN the fandom.
otherwise you should just go on and quit.

2 - the condition of IF he is to appear on a TV show? what does his appearance
and the public acknowledgement of his existence have to do with your furry membership?

3 - Based on the topic of the show he is an extremely unlikely candidate for appearance.

4 - Most people don't even know what he is " guilty of "... copyright infringement, literally a crime near 99% of the fandom has taken part of to
some degree.

i could go on but the point is, we choose ignorance, and Repeat ignorance with out a 2nd thought and i call bullshit.

There's the whole thing with Zausch and FA/Weasyl which is another shining
example of furry ignorance overload.

And then there's me and my reputations and personal experience of
being cussed out by total strangers based on fiction. and the willful
propagation of misinformation.

And back to my 1st point That Quitting if Dr. Phil makes us look bad,
people OBVIOUSLY have never SEEN the show or understand the format or
what its about and how he tries to HELP PEOPLE not tear them down or make
them look Ridiculous - which so many furries are capable of doing on their own.
That original concept came off of a FACEBOOK post, and was simply repeated
by an idiot incapable of independent thought.



Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of intellectuals and sound rational
thinkers in the Fandom, that doesn't make everyone of us Scholars...

We need to think for ourselves and learn not to judge people we don't know.

Message of Love, Tolerance, and Acceptance... Falls on Deaf ears commonly,
why ??? TL:DR

Well maybe a stern Criticism will be read... doubtful...

i love all of you, and i hope you will find your way...
