Because of some recent drama in the furry fandom, people have been asking me if I will be leaving Furaffinity and what I think about the whole situation. I've been trying to bite my tongue and avoid going into detail about what I think, but as more and more people are bringing up the subject, saying something about it seems unavoidable. So, this is my response...
Once upon a time, I found a nice little fandom that had a lot of misunderstood people in it. They were called furries. And I watched as mobs of unfathomably ignorant fuckballs pointed and cast judgement on these people without even knowing the first thing about them. They called them animal fuckers, perverts, sexual deviants and sometimes even child molesters. They fired furry employees, disowned them from their families and went about making their lives as much of a hell as possible just for being who they were. They had no proof, no evidence, no reason to believe the furries were these dangerously twisted people. The vast majority of them had never even met a furry or talked with one. However, if you confronted them with their lack of any actual data on the subject, their reply was that they "saw it on the news", or "watched it on CSI" or "read it on the internet", therefore it must be true. Thus, without knowing a thing about the furries they were judging, they continued to judge them relentlessly for the simple reason that they wanted to, without giving one single, minute shit about whom it may be hurting or if it was even the truth. And, as we quickly discovered, nothing we said or did would ever change their minds. They had turned into bullshit-babbling, sub-slime douchepots.
Seeing the way the furries were treated, I wanted to defend them from the brainless prejudice of the ignorant masses, and it was a job I very much enjoyed doing. So why is it that now, years later, I find myself defending others from the furries who have hence become the exact same bullshit-babbling, sub-slime douchepots?
I have now seen 4 people I know within the fandom being accused of horrendous crimes with no shread of proof or evidence. In all cases, there were no police reports filed, no physical evidence, no witnessess. Yet the mob of furries with torches and pitchforks would rather have a monster to shout at than to take two seconds to give a single squirt of piss about the fact that they know nothing about the person being accused or what the truth actually is. Twitchfox's e-mail about DerpMoo's blog regarding the coversation his friend PigBonk overheard between MonkeeD1ck and StumpFuck recalling that girl they knew who dated a guy who used to know the ex-girlfriend of the person in question is enough evidence for them, so they'll continue to judge.
This unmitigated, baseless hatred is what I fought against when furries were in its crosshairs and the same furries are now using it against their own kind. And now, they're intent on showing their disgust for one of these dreamed up monsters by leaving the largest furry art web site in the world.
So, what I think of this situation?
The great majority of furries have taken this steaming pile of drama at face value and have long since shrugged it off. The biggest part of the fandom is the fun, creative, mostly-happy fandom it usually is. However, there is still a small portion of bullshit-babbling, sub-slime douchepots. And now they're getting up and walking away! So... where's the bad news? If every brainless idiot in your town stood up and said, "We're morons! So we're going to another town!"... how would this not be the best day ever? ...(except for the other town, of course.)
So my answer is I will absolutely NOT be leaving FA! And I fully encourage anyone who can actually be confident in their right to judge a person based on drama-generated, internet horse shit to please, go ahead and jump ship. I've been looking for a way to seperate furries from idiot furries for years. It'll save me a lot of trouble if you just did it yourselves. Make your own site and keep your bullshit faux activism entertainment over there. I'll even liscence www.bullshit-babbling-sub-slime-douchepots.com to you so the rest of us can know to avoid it.
As a final note: I'm completely aware that the retards perpetuating this drama will likely point to selected phrases and half-sentences in this blog and say, "SEEEEEE?!?!?!! Proof that 2 Gryphon supports RAPE! And hates all women! And cheats on his taxes and..... I dunno... gargles with the minty sperm of the nearly-extinct, green beaked tit moose, or something. And to you, I say the same thing that I do to the people who judge YOU as FURRIES based on nothing more than their need to be entertained by the newest bullshit, self-rightious crusade...
Gobble my fucking balls! Like... right now. Just gobble them. And make a noise like "blublublublublu" when you do it. It will amuse me. I will record it and use it as a sample in my new DJ mix called, "The Sounds Of Stoopid". I'll make kerbillions.
There. I've said my peace. Now, back to real life...
