My recent meltdown was due to an incident on a CGI chat room. I was helping a couple of people set a shot for a scene involving green screen and compositing 3D rendered artifacts in blender for a short film and showed them a video I had made to give examples of what you have to do to with lighting and masking to make it look like the objects or characters are really in the scene instead of pasted in there.
Suddenly someone posts a picture from my FA gallery of the character in the video and screams “HE'S A FUR FAG!”
Normally this kind of stuff doesn't bother me, but this was a room full of professional level cgi artists and everyone started in on how I shouldn't be there because I was a furry and made pornography. Then to top it all off one of the people that I had been helping said, “Forget it, we won't learn anything useful from him. Can anyone else help us?”
It has finally made me realize there is no fucking place for me in this world. I'm still going to make my comics and art, still going to post them to FA and DA among other places but I'm no longer going to try getting artistic jobs or deal with the real world in any way any more.
All I want to do is entertain people give them something to smile or laugh about, but seems that is beyond my reach in this hellish world.

And they won't stop just because you let them win.
Keep trying. No mattter HOW much it hurts. That is the only thing that will actually stop them.
Sorry man. But there have always been people like that, and even if you WEREN'T the kind of artist you are, they'd still try to do these things to you.
Life is an act of contention and defiance. It always has been.
The important thing is that you remember that they are WRONG.
There are places you can find what you need. But they are rare, that's all. You have to keep trying.
So stand tall, walk the line, and hold your middle fingers out as you walk past these little bitches.
WHO CARES IF SOMEONE MAKES X-RATED JUNK?! IF they're willing to make something GREAT, then excellent, let them! But these guys... Augh, arrogant, egotistical, mindless, feral, stupid APES!!
You didn't deserve that. I hope that shrieker gets locked in a cage.
