Yes, please save me, daddy UwU

They're all awful... like all of humanity, but in their own way. Disgusting

It's quite true, but people won't take it seriously if you offend them so much. You'll get banned for hate.

And no one is going to read all of this. You need to make it easier to read, somehow.

Like half of this is just you being a prude that's mad other people go to parties and have friends

Being a prude is good, What are you yapping about XD

*I was a furry since 1992 up to about 2008, and let me tell you, I have seen it all.

And you're still here because...?

Everybody sucks, its just that some suck more than others
kek

But what are your thoughts on yaoi

So what do you want to tell people? To leave the fandom? Would that solve any problems? I am here because I like anthropomorphic characters and art in general and I have no problems whatsoever ignoring drama and erotic content. You are just throwing everyone into one pit of everything you hate.

This fandom has the most loose definition ever. Literally every person on earth can be called a "fan of anthropomorphic animals". The fandom has a bad reputition, that i'll give to you. It attracts all sorts of people and surely also a big amount of weirdos. Does that stop you from doing your thing? No. You probably just hang out with the wrong people. Do what you personally enjoy, if you see something illegal report it and otherwise let people do their thing as long as its harmless. Dragging everything further into the negative doesn't help anyone.

i left the fandom and replaced it with being a funny animal fan: same love of talking animals but without all of the MANY flaws of a "community". it's solely about the art and that's how it should be.

You should make this into a book

I'm glad you wrote this - it offers a nice peek at your views.

I think where a lot of people go wrong is not possessing a simple piece of advice:
"What you do should not be the sum total of what you are."


When you wrote "Lonely, isolated, socially inept, horny, and who use the furry fandom as an escapist fantasy." .... well... yes. This is a place where people like that can be with others for a little while doing something that they enjoy.


No one is allowed to break the law - and if you see something, say something.


There's a lot of losers in the fandom and there's a lot of weirdos in the fandom. If they're breaking a law, they need to be punished. If they aren't, they need to be allowed to live the way they want to.


It is unfortunate that you have so little else going on that you cannot find relevance outside of writing an angry polemic about a crowd that left you behind.



Now, to everyone who is reading the author's text with a sense of righteous indignation, don't be a loser and you won't be called one. Be a law-abiding, polite and useful member of society and no one will begrudge your furry activities off-the-clock.

You forgot how this "fandom" is so adamant about acceptance to the point where they allow actual kid-diddlers and the mentally disabled into this community instead of telling them to fuck off.

The latter is less of a problem and more of a burden, but you know what I mean.

Now that I re-read this I can't help to think that this rant is just buried under a load of self-righteous whinging and pearl-clutching. I doubt the claim that you're an ex-furry even has merit, but I doubt that you're even a furry at all and just looking to farm outrage from a bunch of gullible egotists.
You thought this rant was gonna be effective, but it's mostly just things minimal to no autism types can see and it looks like you're just complaining because you never got to wear a fursuit and fuck an underage south of the border rentboy at a con.

What a disappointment.

tl;dr
Abloo bloo bloo bloo

i'm having a stroke

but like, that's kind of like, your opinion man
you remind me of the athiests who try to spread athiesm... but why tho lol
would you rather there be no furries?

when i grew up i had no friends
and i found myself at 14 dating someone online who was 22. I don't blame furries. even though it was solely RP and he was a pedophile lmao. He had all kinds of problems and i was stuck with "love me or i'll cut myself" having to coddol a grown man. and yeah, there are a lot of toxic people on here. and it just seems to be a bigger and bigger magnet for more toxic people to take advantage of unattended children online. oops

but its kind of like sesame street like. all kinds of zany characters. but you learn from it. You can find yourself. I built an online lifestyle before i ever left my house to make real life friends. I haven't met anyone who is particularly life changing in the fandom, but I wouldn't even made it through grade school with at least one furry friend to talk to after school.

The furry fandom is a fucking mess. and thats why I belong here. I grew up unattended and neglected in a trash filled basement. Without the internet I wouldn't be any more intelligent than a dog. I've grown stronger and more able than most humans to have intellectual relationships than most people years before I've ever met people 'in the real world' I was always an outcast because of my hygeine.
But I'm an adult now and after working irl for years. Dating people and cleaning up. I've tried leaving the fandom after getting over my agoraphobia and I strangled my social anxiety with retail. Yet it didn't work. I still come crawling back to the fandom every few years empty handed and so many amazing and generous people open their wallets and buy artwork off me. That's why i spend so many hours and hours on each and every drawing its less than half minimum wage usually.

also dont spam this shit everywhere its sad. you look just as desperate for validation as every other furry on here lmao
but like that just my opinion man

ok boomer

None of this is incorrect. Almost all of this I have experienced in some way or another.
I wish I could go back to enjoying my time with furries, but can't anymore.

I don't really agree with everything in this, but I am faving it just for documentation and point of reference.

I love this text you deserve a +watch!

Let me play connection terminated on the world's smallest violin.

XD

unlike other fandoms, the majority of furries are painfully autistic and/or complete and utter social rejects. i think thats where 99% of the shit ones come from.

I agree with you on many occasions. Animals whom our sonas represents have only primal instincts, no morals, no hygiene, no differentiate for good or evil. Each one of us has mental or physical handicap, we weren't loved by our parents, we seek second alternative family, we never mature up. Community attracts troubled young people, some with antisocial disorders such as psychopathy,narcissism,autism, anxiety, misfit to real society ,world or simply stressed out in a hectic, market economy environment where image or otherwise "seklf-promo" to feed your ego and trying to be a celebrity in a fursuit compensates your loser ego, because you have miserable job, run the rat race, you are emotionally unstable and part of a minority, and you blame the world, yourself, you cause harm to others, yourself. It's chaotic, lacking morals, you have this instability and childish attitude, from 16 to 40 to 50 and never grow up, never mature up. As part of only your primal instincts sexual things, escapism which is a big truth, and the fact that you feel depressed and not of this world - you constantly push your limits, break rules, do the most evil things and casually commit a...self-destructive behaviour.

You know, as a kid I wasn't feeling loved, I was shoving deviations since my young age, I never understood my peers. I always delved to fantasy, first about monsters, demons, then I found furries' fandom as 14yo. Of course it was sexual picture that brough me there. Curiosity, my hurt ego, and the fact I wasn't loved by my parents, I felt lost in the real world and depressed. I thought this was my refugee. And it initially was...but, as you mentioned, it all happened. I was misused and even raped by older furry girls and men, but at the time I felt loved. I was showing off my sexuality, totally without any common sense, I had no shame. I was seking conflict, troll and being trolled, letting that immaturity, instability and self-damaging behaviour thrive in me.

Now...I feel empty,emotionally detached and I do mind the same things you described. But you know...even though I admit this is all chaotic, awkward and evil maybe....it has a purpose. To have an artistic mania...or have depression and say I feel hated and blame myself and outter world.

It's a real complex topic and philosophy, but this community is there for reason. It's not perfect, it's unique in a way, it's..."an error in Matrix" and feel alien. But..we are here and kind of stick to it. There are good periods and there are bad periods. It's us who write our life story, and it doesn't matter how we were, how many people we harmed, or we were harmed or feel harmed by others...it doesn't matter. Sometimes you need conflicted phenomenon to find yourself, in the chaos. Simply by accepting it's there and it exists. And then..accept yourself and smile. Be at ease. It is the lifepath we walk and the fantasy we escaped to because we refused to get old and mature up. Then we leave this world...and it continues. It's ours to decide if we lived a fruitful life, if we can forgive and go into the light...eventually.

THANK YOU. i used to be in the fandom but i left because the VAST majority of it is made up of degenerate drama queens with the brains of middle schoolers.

i used to be a huge supporter of furries and would always be the one to tell people that all the bad was just the small minority that not even the rest of the fandom likes but now i can't say that without straight up lying so i left.

BUT i still like talking animals and refuse to give that up so i became a funny animal fan: same basic concept but it's about the actual ART not the "community" and thus is only as degenerate as you personally decide to make it. if you want to talk to me about my fave talking animal movies or see my rad new lion tail then i'm all open for it but i will NOT talk about your weird inflation fetish or sexually harass tony the mother fucking tiger with you. the funny animal fandom doesn't require anything but the art that this basic interest was built on and it's far better than all the drama and porn that the furry fandom is flooded with.

thank you for your rant and i hope you find peace with funny animals instead because talking animals are great and it's ok to watch the lion king without wondering how big mufasa's dick is.
