Rest in Peace, RoareyRaccoon.

I just found out that he apparently passed away. I didn't know him closely, but he was one of my favorite furry artists honestly. I know he wasn't the most liked in this community but from the few interactions him and I had, he was nice to me.

I would've absolutely loved to buy art from him, really hurts to know I'll never get that chance...

Seriously, my deepest condolences to his loved ones and anyone else he was closer with. I'm sorry for your loss...

Cutting down a much longer post to something less eye-strainingly long.

Refamiliarized myself with him on hearing the news, decided that I should be wary of old drama and dogpiling mentality, looked around saw things that defied expectations if just the drama was to be believed
People with similar stories. About how yes he did what he did, have certain opinions, make The Unicorn. But that he was unwilling to devalue people he disagreed with just for the disagreement, and was willing to have polite and calm discussion. Just being set in his opinion, for whatever reason.
And I have guesses for the reason.

I've just been around long enough to see people be a lot nastier with a lot less. Like actively nasty.

And I think it's very important to measure a person by the lengths they're willing to go to assert their opinion, on a practical level. Because after all once you act on an opinion, it is no longer just an opinion but a tangible thing that can affect others.

Having an opposing opinion on something major but not being willing to devalue your adversary as a person and even getting mad for their sakes if somebody devalues them...
vs
Having an opposing opinion on something minor and having a personal disagreement with somebody, but blowing it out of proportion to the point where you have to take that disagreement to xhitter and start throwing volatile information into a very reactive space where people LOVE to blab. Potentially skewing details in the process.

Everything is relative. Discerning motive and intent is as much key as determining what "too far" and "irredeemably too far" is.

In summary. People can say what they want about the guy for the unicorn. I don't blame them for feeling threatened by one of our own posting something like that.
Just wish that a higher volume of better people tried, calmly and rationally, to convince him. Rather than angry loudmouths screaming at him to change his point of view just to match theirs, without considering that a sour approach can gird someone against a mindset or viewpoint that is even for their own benefit.

I wish I could've been one of the better people, but you know what they say about hindsight.

I hope he at least had some measure of peace and sense of belonging with his loved ones. And I hope they aren't harassed, not even by a single person who would feel it'd be ""funny"" to taunt them over it.

Alls I know is that I don't really feel I'm qualified to say anything other than what I usually feel when one of us goes, with or without unfinished business. However much it feels like a platitude at this point.

This sucks.
Fuck's sake.
