So...

by
First of all...yeah...I'm alive. Just been lurking around.

Recently I added someone with a very cute art style to my watchlist, said user even watched me back, but not long after that this person posted a journal saying he/she was leaving IB and deleting the few pics posted due to getting a lot of "hate messages".

That made me want to write this journal. I think I understand what that person was feeling, there's only so much hatred one can stand before wanting to run away from all of it. It's a shame I didn't even had time to say something thought I doubt if would have changed the outcome.

Everywhere I turn I seem to bump into furry-hate stuff, there I am listening to a completely unrelated podcast or watching a movie/videogame review and *BOOM* things like "death to furries" and "the furry disease" popup out of nowhere.

I've considered doing the same and deleting all my stuff a couple of times. I'm always concerned someone would use it against me so I avoid most sorts of online interactions out of fear, I already have near zero social interactions iRL now I can't even be on the internet in peace.

*shrugs* oh well...just wanted to let it out. Sorry for all the BS.

I've always had this feeling that a "furry witch-hunt" could happen but had a little hope it wouldn't...guess I was wrong.

It was always weird how many furry-loathing furries have existed in the fandom all these years. Thankfully you can solve most nuisance people with block/banning.

Avoiding social media helps too. The best way to find friends is through the friends you already know!

I try to filter out most stuff from social media...I also try NOT TO access any furry-related material in social media just in case.

Nice to hear from you. I think I know the artist you're talking about since I can't seem to find his art anymore in my favs gallery. Such a shame, since his stuff was pretty cute T.T

Guess I am oblivious to the current hate going on, wherever it is. Was any of this directed at you recently?

Not really...probably because I have been avoiding letting people know I like furry stuff. I feel like the moment I let that happen I would be targeted as well.

As I said I have been "bumping into" a lot of furry-hate out of nowhere. =\

Anyways...how have you been?

I have a feeling some of it may be paranoia you are dealing with, and also just thinking about how Albert or Gene would handle such stuff now... Suspect he would just be kind and honest on what he likes or not hide what he draws, and if it bothers someone that bad, so be it. Continue doing what he loves. A few toxic/negative people should not shame you on what you love to do or draw or watch etc.

There are far more who like the stuff than not.

As for me? eh. Moods are a struggle. But keeping the chin up best I can and keep progressing. Chatting more with whomever is up for chats which helps.

Maybe you have a point about the paranoia but oddly enough I was not really thinking about how Albert would deal with it though I too believe he wouldn't let that get to him.
