You know there are times where it would be nice to be recognized in a crowd of fursuits at a convention, or someone noticing my work online, but 99% of the time I am really, really glad I am a nobody in this fandom, or just online in general. I am just a nobody making stuff and sharing photos of my creations on the internet. People often forget that what you post online is forever, not only that but you have to remember that if you post something in a public place, WHERE EVERY SOUL CAN SEE, people have a fair shot at making fun of you.

Internet is forever

Don't post things you wouldn't want others to see.

These rules are very important. So don't get butt hurt when you were the one advertising your stupidity in the first place. So basically, don't be stupid, stupid. If you are going to get upset over every little thing said about you, your fandom, anything you like, or a person you like, then you need to stay away from the internet. Having pride in something is fine, but don't let it blind you. It's okay to change your opinion of something based on new information.

I'm glad I don't have people making fun of me.
I'm glad I don't have thousands of people wanting to be my friend just for free stuff.
I'm glad I don;t have my own Encyclopedia Dramatica page on me.
I'm glad I don't have artist bewares on me.

I'm even glad no one wants to commission me. I like being a nobody. Attention and popularity is overrated anyway. I can go to a con and do what I want, when I want without a flock of followers tailing me wherever I go.

/end rant.
