Apology and a little bitterness
10 years ago
I'd like to say I'm sorry to anyone tired of all the species-tober shit. I wish I could go back and undo my damage. I started Foxtober alongside Sol and Bravo's "Skunktember" to be fun and promote foxes and fox art several years back (anyone who disagrees can try all they like to go find any post before mine and I promise you'll find jack shit). Everyone else missed the point and demanded it to be all about their species. Now it is a big horrid amalgamation everyone wants for themselves and the intent it started with has been diluted and a screamfest at one another.
This year after getting a "isn't celebrating foxes like asking for White History Month?" I'm saying fuck it.
I don't give a shit anymore.
I won't start anything new for furries lest it be another screamfest and everyone being turds about it.
So to the otters, the orcs, the orcas, the bucks, the tigers, the taurs, the everyfucking other thing you can have your month. You fucking ruined it for this furry and I want nothing more to do with it. May the damned holiday spirit fuck off. I'm going to go watch some horror movies and do something else this month.

Granted I've no interest in doing themed months either.
Although the only one I've seen that isn't species themed was ink-tober, and that's just a traditional picture every day for october.
Imagine you doing a new dance move, then everyone else copies it the next con, renames it as their original move, and other people fawn over it. Then when you do it, people say how lame you are and you should stop dancing.
Oklacon and RainFurrest are two major examples of Furries ruining everything.
To be honest, it's just like you said: it wasn't fun anymore, so thus my "it's not species month" tweet about a week ago.
Go Sharks.
dont worry about them and just do you.
I've always enjoyed your journals and writings and cartoony pics. Really sorry the whole experience has left you feeling bitter. You really just need to give everyone a toony lit stick of TNT and get away as fast as you can. It's the only way to blow some sense into them. :>
Here's hoping your spirits and mood can be lifted.
Good!
I missed foxies and skunkies?
NNOOOOOOooooooo!!
...does that count as screaming?
but yeah I've seen this and its's irritating as hell
