A change in pace
5 years ago
First off, I'm fine (somewhat) and don't have this nasty virus that's been causing quite a stir globally. And despite curfews and quarantines in place, I still have to go to work as per usual.
With the currant situation at hand, I guess I have alot of thinking to do personally. And I have to get this off my chest and don't care if it sounds like I'm whining or not or whatever. With all this unrest, all while topped with a global pandemic which is still going strong, suffice it to say things are fucked all around. This is the point where I try to say something uplifting, and been praying for a peace of mind though out all this, but...I got nothing. Just not a damn thing, and it's not like anyone would listen or read this anyway. It's to the point where it starts to have me think; should I change my username and possibly give away my main OC Copman? Cause to be honest, I feel ashamed to have such name right now.
Please believe me, it's not like I had my eyes wide shut for the past years when things like this happen, I'm not that stupid or naive. For serious lack of better ways to put it, I always thought police, despite every flaw imaginable and true, were one of the good guys. Obviously there are plenty of others, much better, but still. I've been into anything cop related ever since I was a kid, while everyone else had their superheroes and what not, this one somewhat was mine. I always hate seeing and hearing things like this on the streets, the news, movies, ect. of cops doing things like this and getting away with it cause it's just not right in every level.
I never was able to become a cop myself. Why? Outside from the harsh realities, I personally didn't think I'm physically or menially able to take on such a job, and sometimes feel like all this time I've been into cops and such is a waste and a joke when it's merely a personal hobby. Still is even now.
I've heard stories, and have friends who are rocky with cops and for good reason, making me wonder sometimes if I'm worthy of their friendship or to simply chat alone. My eyes are wide open to things like this, which is why my mind right now is screwed.
Guess that's one of the reasons why my OC Copman was formed; a crime fighting superhero in police form. So far with what's going on, let alone my lack of ideas on how to keep this main OC up and going, I honestly don't know what to do. I've been contemplating on abandoning him, selling him to someone who might do a hell of alot better than I ever can for him, and changing my username all together so people won't feel uncomfortable whenever they see it.
I know and understand such decisions like these are mine and mine alone and yet I still ask, to those that know me for a long time; for everything I've done from creating these OCs and such, am I a fake or a joke to you all? I may be many things, but I can't be that stupid or naive to the harsh truths even way back then. I feel like one sick joke.

I'd say the safest measure is to hide away the mantle for a bit, but keep the character, because he is still you at the end of the day.
I'm not judging you.
Tbh, just cause your fursona has a fictional job as a police officer doesn't mean that you should have to retire them or anything. Instead what you should do is ignore the haters, who will surely see where they have gone wrong and stop doing this stuff, and keep being yourself.
Tbh these protests have gotten so out of hand that they are no longer for a peaceful cause, instead they are more imo, for just straight up Anarchy and that is not good whatsoever.
And the guys who are thinking that ACAB, or COP=Bad, do they even realize that in this world there is good and bad in all sorts? Like there are also good cops too, and they DO, do their job correctly, they DO protect the public against criminals, they ARE helpful. It's like, there isn't a straight cut between good/bad, there is so much grey in this world that it can be hard to find people who are straight up good or evil.
Those people seem to fail to realise that without the police, or with them being defunded, crime will go out of control, gangs will roam the streets, people will just straight up be killed for no reason, and even worse stuff than that.
But yeah, back to my main point, honestly dude, you shouldn't have to worry about those asshats who are causing this or making you feel like you have been living a lie with your fursona, at the end of the day who are they to judge you for what you do fictionally?, I mean my Fursona is a fictional pilot for TUI Airways, but by no means does that mean I am to blame for every plane crash irl. More people need to see the divide between fiction and reality.
But yeah, just ignore the hate, and keep being yourself.
Btw, if you haven't already, you should check out a YouTuber called The Donut Operator, I think you will like his content, especially the 'cop prevents forever sleep vid' which that alone proves that NACAB (Not all cops are bad).
But yeah, take care dude, stay safe and keep being yourself in these uncertain times. Rise above the hate.
selling him to someone who might do a hell of alot better than I ever can for him
I just want to say that if you ever plan on selling your OC, just tell me. I wouldn't mind making a comic book series about him. I also believe that it is important to say that I won't use him in fetish situations though. Plus I will be honest, I have to understand how purchasing works, so I would have knowledge for potential commissioners in the future. You were always nice to me, so I trust you.
That being said, I am not pushing you and it is only your decision. Have a nice day!
