An Open Letter to Murrsuit Haters
10 years ago
I recently came across a blog on Tumblr that is dedicated to outing (if you will) murrsuiters for the intent of creating a list of fursuiters to avoid at conventions and in public. As I kept scrolling and reading through the blog, I began to get an uneasy feeling, which quickly turned to disappointment. More searching led to multiple blogs and the such that are intent on alienating their own.
I find this highly offensive and against everything being a furry stands for. The whole point of being a furry is we all share a common interest, and we all go to conventions to be around people who have these same interests, and to make new friends. Seeing people publicly humiliating others for what they do in their free time is one thing, but to have it evolve into a schism within a community that just wants to be accepted and left alone, this is appalling and borderline disgusting.
They specifically target the more famous murrsuiters, I won't say any names to protect their privacy. But they take screenshots of their adult videos and paste them over pictures of the suiters interacting with children, you know, letting them touch their muzzles and the such, and they say that it's the most disgusting thing that they can do.
Saying that a murrsuiter shouldn't interact with kids because they've had sex in their suit is like saying you shouldn't interact with kids if you've masturbated. Your hands have been somewhere naughty, just like their suits, so what's the difference?
I'm sorry, their logic just isn't making much sense. It's not right to alienate ANYONE in this way, let alone one of your own. Anyone else feel this way?

What really bugs me about that blog is they treat it like a sexual offender's registry, sort of like "if you see these people at a con, stay away from them because they've had sex in that suit" sort of thing. I'm like, who gives a damn? You've had sex, so have they, what's the difference? I guess that's the ugly side of the fandom showing.
