I guess I forgot to say this here so here's my goodbye post.
While I am still going to enjoy anthropomorphic art, I quit "furry fandom", at least the socializing. Actually it might be more accurate to say I was bullied out.
Perhaps an explanation is due:
I've always been Simba, that comes before furry. I was a "furry" for 22 years. I had seen people come and go, I'd seen generations of new people going through the same cyclical events in their lives as the generations previous, and I'd seen people "leave furry". But I never thought I would.
I sat on Anthrocon's board of directors for 3 years, and worked for the convention for 10 years. I worked for security at Midwest FurFest for 10 years. Furry fandom was my life.
Yet in the past 4-5 years I've gotten nothing but abuse from every attempt to socialize in this "community". If I talked in a chat it would turn into bullying me, and if I stood up to the bullies I would be banned. The only way I would be permitted to remain is if I never spoke. Well that's some stupid whore shit so I had enough. I'm sure I'm not the only one, and I'm sure there are people out there who, for whatever their reasons, don't have the nerve to say "Hey, fuck all of you I'm out.". You see them sitting quietly in chats, never contributing.
So next time people start their flowery bullshit about how furry is such an accepting place and everyone is welcome, remember my story. I was kicked out for existing. I was kicked out for standing up for myself. I was kicked out for standing up for others. I was kicked out for identifying and calling out the bullies. I was kicked out for rocking the boat of this disgusting child-rape culture. I was kicked out for being a threat to the whores who run the whole show.
I was kicked out for refusing to fucking die.
Or I left.. you can see it however you want. As I said earlier, I was Simba before "furry fandom" and I will be Simba after "furry fandom". This is, not my loss.
There is no furry "community", and cons are a con.
