It may be time for me to leve FA and the fandom in general.
8 years ago
This morning while going through submissions, I found I was blocked by someone and couldn't fav a piece of art. I was confused at first, then looking more closely, noticed what it was, it was someone who was offended at what I had to say about there being a lot of folks becoming trans because its the new fad and in thing to do. Though my discussion was involved and more about differences and problems caused by this new fad, it caused me to be banned permanently from the burdcrew telegram chat. Mind you I have been kicked out before because of things I said and did that, while not completely vulgar, was taken as too extreme and annoying for those who are overly sensitive. I had been behaving and keeping it civil, but this last bit cause too many who are overly sensitive and easily offended to cry and have me removed.
Why I bring this to attention is not to ask forgiveness or support or for those to defend me. I ask all who may feel that way to not do so as it will do no good and wouldn't matter anyways. This has become more of an insight to me about the current state of the furry fandom and the way people are in general currently. Its a fight against SJW's, Political Correctness, Overly sensitive special snowflakes, and people that can't take a joke or understand context. Its a fight I can't keep on battling or facing. Its something that I am not.
People that know me, know I am a kind hearted guy, stand up for whats truly right and against the wrong. Defend those that really need to be defended, and encourage others to stand for their selves. I also come off as being blunt, straight forward, crude, very politically incorrect, can be cold when blunt and forward, and not afraid to say whats on my mind. I have many times been tactless and direct. I call out bullshit when I see it. These are the things about me that make up who I am. At times, I wonder if I've become more callous, or if society as become more thin skinned and unable to brush off and move on from these things. It's like you can't say anything without someone being greatly offended and wanting someone punished for them being offended.
So, with all that said, I feel that there is no room within the furry fandom as it is in its current state for someone like me. I feel I just don't belong anywhere anymore with anyone. Maybe once I did, but too many I know have moved on and become less involved. I guess its my turn now.
I'll be thinking over whether to shut down my FA or just leave it as it is for the next few days. I just don't know if its worth it anymore really.

FA+









the transtrender jackasses are a minority - they're just a loud minority
trust me - the vast majority of the furry fandom are normies in that context, so getting upset over this is just not worth it
I know I'm blocked from at least two jokers here on the site because they're SJWs who can't handle an honest discussion on their opinions (like why one of them is an avowed dog and horse fucker)
dude - there is PLENTY of room in the furry fandom for you.
I might suggest the Crosstimecafe forum. its a forum for well over a dozen furry webcomics and their fan communities. While you're not allowed to talk politics there, then I can tell you with a reasonable amount of certainty that most of the people on that board would or did vote Trump - and nobody there uses custom pronouns - that should tell you all you need to know about the place.
also the furry webcomics there are really good :)
If they are blocking you without ever even talking to you, then they are likely people you wouldn't have wanted to talk to in the first place.
They love their self segregation and "safe spaces" so let them safe space and segregate themselves into obscurity. ^_^
No matter where you go htere's always going to be 2 kinds of people. The people who care and the people who troll.
I am sorry too hear about all this my friend, really. But dont let it be a factor that forces you to leave a fandom all togther. People (and i use the term loosely on their case) are not the majority of the fandom.
