Shoutout to   Zen_Fetcher for this idea.

I will start by shouting out where to find me. Twitter/X (@MorukamiABDL) and BlueSky(@morukami.bsky.social). If I start posting anywhere else, I'll mention it there or here if I'm still around.
That's not what this post is about. I'm not posting my socials and praying the mods don't find my work and ban me for an arbitrary reason.
Actually, I dare them to check me out. Read through pages of pages of my work. Let's see if you can stomach it just to see if I fall under your "rules" :)

I wanna talk about how FA helped me find some great friends and increased my confidence in this side of me.

I lurked on FA for quite a number of years. Back in my younger years, FA helped me start to explore this side of me. Helped me see if this was just a curiosity or something more. I browsed. I read. I enjoyed.
And through this site, I plucked up the courage to try diapers for the first time. Like, right before the pandemic too. It was life changing, and I soon began to explore more. Mainly just lurking, seeing what I liked. But it was a welcoming community of talented artists and writers and let me see where this would go.

It was also through this site that I found a server with other like-minded individuals. Despite my worries, I interacted with others with the same interests. I became validated in my feelings. I started to make friends. And it just felt nice...to know I wasn't a complete freak for enjoying this.

All because of FA, I had friends who made me feel loved, even with the deepest, strangest parts of me.

Before I joined the server, I also got the courage to write stories through this site. Writing had just been a hobby of mine throughout middle and high school. It didn't match up to some of my other passions, but every now and then I got the itch to put words on a page and flesh out the pictures that danced through my ADHD, incredibly vivid mind.
And people liked them. More than that, they loved it. When I shared these stories, these skills with members of the server, and then friends from said server...they loved it too.
I could connect with people through my writing. Yeah it was very NSFW but there's something just so fun about mashing people's buttons and sharing a love for something like diapers. Or suits. Or sissy. Or any other fetish. Just with my words, creating scenarios, I connected with people.

All because of FA, I could connect with people in a way I never could in my day to day life.

And now, it feels like FA doesn't want me. Doesn't want the people I connected with. Doesn't want my passion and my love and just my presence, and the presence of those who helped me become more confident than I've ever been in my life. I gained so much through this site and now it wants me to pack my bags?

No. No, I will not go. Not unless you force me out. Show to me and to everyone here that you'd rather stand by your ridiculous biases, and thinly-veiled claims of "protecting the children", and overall bullshit, then the people that only just want to connect. To share. To grow. To love. To be a community. Isn't that what furry is? Community?
So no, I will not bend to your attempted intimidation and hopes of driving us all out, FA Mods. We are all furry. We are part of the community.
I will not make it easy for you. Show to everyone just how far you'll go. Show everyone what we THINK you are, but hope you aren't. I fucking dare you.

And if I'm forced out...at least I know I never gave up on the community. And the people running this site did.
