I must ask one simple question: Why are there those who want the furry fandom to die, forcing the community websites into near constant states of unusablity via DDOs-ing, and referring to physical violence, like the chemical attack on a furcon a couple of months ago? What exactly have we done that is so wrong? I mean, if we were to be referred as a race, these would technically be hate crimes, and that, simply put, is not cool, not at all. Of course, one can only assume that the person/persons responsible were banned from the various furry sites (SF, Here, FA, Weasyl, F-List, E621, to name a few), and are seeking retaliation/retribution, but this isn't right. If you've been banned from a site, there's probably a good reason for it, like repeatedly breaking the Code Of Conduct, for example. Of course, though, these attacks have only gotten to the severity they're at now as of late, from mid September to now. Why is it that we can't get along, in the twenty first century, of the second millennium since the death of Jesus Christ? Regardless of the various news stories that show furries in a bad light, we're not ALL that fucked up! Then again, there are some who do this just for the hell of it, and to those who are that kind of low, I only have three simple, easy to understand words: Go. Fuck. Yourselves. We have no beef with you, so why must you try to ruin our days by constantly spamming the various sites, which are one of the only ways we can actually connect, aside from going to cons, which not all of us can do. As a proud member of this fandom, no, family, I can only request from everyone, furry or not, to set aside our differences, and look inside and realize, "Oh, wait, I'm pretty fucked up, too." I will be keeping comments open for discussion.
