I Don't Want to Leave FA, But I Think I Have To...
7 years ago
General
So I just found that Furaffinity just updated their Code of Conduct (COC) publicly declaring war on Alt-Right and completely dismissing Antifa Furs. Bear in mind that I'm not exactly someone that aligns with the Alt-Right, but I haven't had the level of issues that leftists claim to be having.
The biggest load the bullshit hypocrisy is the fact that Furaffinity flat-out REFUSES to acknowledge Antifa as a threat to this community. I'm sorry, but if you even so much as watch this video for even as much as a few minutes, you would find that they are not only cancerous in mindset, but actual full-blown terrorists.

With that said, it's hard to utter all the words I feel, but I think this is a good time for conservatives like me to go on an exodus. Hell, if I have to go to Inkbunny...which I've had bad experiences with personally...that might even be better than this shithole of a safe space for liberal segregationists.
But I'm not 100% sure yet. If anything, I'll give it some time. I mean I don't want to leave for the sake of how I know quite a few people here. But if Furaffinity doesn't welcome people like me with certain opinionated thoughts, then why stay? Really it just comes to show that the furry community is no longer accepting. If that incident with the little girl getting bullied by adults in a furry convention is any indicator of how intolerant they've become, I don't know what is. And yet, you have furries shower the girl with fanart and free badges, which is seriously a big win for undoing any wrong in this community.
That's just it! I want justice to prevail like it did for that convention. True these adults might not get charged anytime soon, but at least people come together to make right that which is wrong. My proposal is that you let the Furaffinity staff know that this is insufferable. Be civil about it, but be friggin' blunt as well. If that doesn't work...well...let's come together to find our own place to commute. Certainly I'm not the only one that is considering leaving right now.
So yeah, again I'm not sure if I'm leaving immediately but this is a fair warning that I'm planning on it. I know I'm not Alt-Right, but I don't feel safe here anymore. If any of you have a response to this, feel free to let me know. Thanks for sticking with me and I'll see you later!

Additionally, please note "Antifa" is a very loose term. Some people use that label and employ political violence. Other people (which if I had to guess are a majority of furries using that label) are just edgy young people who hate fascism and think Antifa is a cool thing to call themselves (or they don't even realize the violence done under that label). Unless people are actually causing problems in the fandom I would avoid caving into drama. There doesn't really need to be any here, I don't think.
If anything the fandom could use less drama, not more.
