Contemplating Leaving FA Again
11 years ago
1) With the General-only filter, it's not tooooo bad. Very little pornography. However it still gets through.
2) Trying to keep my FA account disconnected from my actual life is getting harder and harder, especially knowing that second order people can find it by about a minute of looking, if they know where to look.
3) Being a "fur" carries a lot of negative connotation to it. Given the reputation of furries, getting a job would be hard if the employer happened to stumble upon my profile.
Some of the connotations I've heard from friends or from people talking about job searching (not from furs but from people at job fairs or conversations I overheard):
Furries are more likely to be pedophiles than average persons. (I've seen three different controversies over it in the last year.)
Furries have lower standards and bad work ethic (despite sometimes having wonderful arts).
Furries are more likely to be sexual predators.
Furries are more likely to be charged for sexual crime.
They all sound the same. So that alone is pretty bad.
4) Generally, employers don't like people that are heavily involved in fandoms whatsoever. Even having an FA profile is considered being into furry stuff.
5) I don't even consider myself a fur anymore.
6) FA is only good for two things: posting arts and whoring attention.
However, if I leave FA, I will have no place to post TGD other than my personal site, so that quandry is brought directly into my personal affairs.
