{DRAMA RANT!!}
10 years ago
i've been seeing a lot of crap being posted in the fandom lately hating on a few "popufurs", a few of whom I happen to be friends with. it needs to stop. has it ever occurred to you [and you know who i'm talking about] that maybe, JUST Maybe, they didn't intend to become highly popular in the fandom on purpose and that they're just posting what they want to post just for the sake of posting what they like to do, see, hear, or watch is what ends up getting them known out there? I know a few of the more well known popufurs may be in it now FOR the popularity, but not all are, only a few. (not gonna name them as it'll just summon the white knights of hate in the comments)
attacking/ discriminating against their fursuit/ their fursona/ their personality/ their friendships/ them wont get you popularity, it'll just label you a hater and a troll and will do the complete opposite of making you famous, yes it'll make you infamous but not AT ALL in a good way.
its literally getting rediculous. a few of my friends are popular furries and are being bullied by others just because they're popular and they're starting to have enough. one even had to purge their friend list on facebook TWICE to get rid of bullies and they still get hate comments.
so in closing of my mini rant, LAY OFF THE POPUFURS!!! Hating on them all over the actions of a small few wont do nothing but hurt their feelings even though they literally did nothing wrong to deserve the hate in the first place. GOOD NIGHT!

OP
im not a popular furry. i dont want to be one either. i just want to share my artwork and things i like in the fandom and post pics of my suits bcause i like it. it makes me feel free from the crap i deal with at work and at home irl right now but i've started to get bullied over my suits alot, where i end up either deleting the post, blocking the commenter from commenting on it or just leaving the group. im getting ticked off a lot and it is starting to over stress me out. i have dangerously low blood pressure and, just like high blodd pressure, too much stress is VERY bad for someone with very low blood pressure (especially one who's overweight but still has low bp, lower than a thin person)

sad that this community is suppose to be better then most, accepting all for who they are what they -sigh- just goes to show ppl cant really be what they should be, i hope your friends being bullied can get over this, and move on, not saying they should its how they can/have to deal with, felt i should have just replied to to the journal with words of support and hope for the best
