Ok, I’m going to ask you to stop what you’re doing.

Right now.

Just stop.

And watch this video.

I’m tired of being labelled as something I’m not, and so (with credit to MythicalRedFox on youtube) I am posting this video, right here for everyone to see.

People hear “Furry” and immediately think of some freaks in animal costumes “getting it on”.

STOP THAT. OK. JUST STOP THAT NOW.

If you’re one of “those guys/girls” that immediately stereotypes someone who is a furry as a freak, animal fucker, and overall less than a human being: this video is for you. So watch it, god damn it! 

It’s been too long. Too long have people thought that they knew what furries are, when really they know the internet rumor. And that’s all it is: A rumor. 

As for people that follow my blog regularly, you know just what the fandom can be like, seeing how beautiful artwork can be used to create something inspirational, and it’s because of this that I’m going to ask you guys to do something for me.

You will rarely hear me ask you to do this, everyone, so please help me this one time, if never again:

REBLOG THIS VIDEO.

IF YOU EVER SEE IT ON YOUR DASH: REBLOG IT.

THIS VIDEO NEEDS TO GO EVEN MORE VIRAL THAN IT ALREADY HAS ON YOUTUBE, AND TUMBLR IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO DO IT!

Thanks to everyone who’s helped me in the past, you guys all mean more to me than you could ever imagine.

Dude. Stahp. Seriously, stop. Right there. Just stop.

I’m kinda let down by this. It got me all hopeful at first but then it jumped the rails halfway through. This still alienates a fair amount of moderates like me who want to identify with the fandom but would generally prefer to avoid certain stigmas.

Comparing it to other fandoms like Dr Who is perfect. That is exactly correct. Stick with that! When they got to fursonas however, the kid described it as what we want to be? No, dude! Stop it! A fursona is just a fan character! It’s the equivalent of someone drawing themselves as a vulcan because they like Star Trek. Don’t muddy the waters here. Stick to the fandom analogy.

I lost it when the dude started talking about pets and furries having some kind of draw towards them because of the fandom. Stop right the fuck there. My pet situation isn’t because I like furry cartoons. I don’t feel a spiritual connection with them that transcends normal ‘human’ capacity (like being furry gives you animal affinity super powers). I just like pets, dude! I’d continue but I simply turned the video off after that.

So disappointed. It started so well! But le sigh- it’s getting so hard for the moderates to remain represented in this fandom. It’s why so many folks are afraid to identify as furs.

so this guy right here is one class-a asshole

he stated, as above, that he had created this artwork

after he gained 100s of RTs and favs, it appeared on my timeline and i recognised it as the work of Vince Low, who created a series of pieces in this style, paying homage to celebrities, mainly actors, with dyslexia

I read through the replies to his tweet, including “wow”s and “i’m so jealous of your art skill”s, and only spotted one other person who realised this was in fact not this guy’s art, though he completely dismissed this person’s comment saying “that guy stole my picture”……

so, me already being sick of this art theft shit, as i see it every day on the web, piped up

and you can read above (excuse the bad quality) that he completely dismissed me, saying i was “jealous”

ha

what angers me most is that he’s getting praise from 100s of people, and they will keep praising him because they won’t see the tweets where me and the one other person pull him up on it

ALSO, I GAVE THE FUCKER PROOF THAT IT WAS NOT HIS WORK. DOWNRIGHT, PROOF FROM AN ONLINE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE THAT THE WORK WAS BY VINCE LOW, AND THE LITTLE DICKHOLE STILL DENIED IT

some may say i’m overreacting, and that i shouldn’t use such foul language, but i am completely sick of this bullshit. i’ve had this happen to me in the past, and it made me less inclined to create art to share on this site.

when you create something you’re proud of, that you put a lot of work into, and someone credits it as their own and people believe them and continue to praise them, even after they’ve been shown proof that they’re lying.. it is one of the most crushing things to ever experience, i know.

so if you experience something like this, it may not make a difference, but you need to at least try to expose the assholes and voice the truth

and please signal boost!!!

we need to try and stop this bullshit, because it is a serious issue.

it gets less better.

Normally it’s none of my business and I steer clear. You hear the stories, the rumors, you chuckle and you move on. But when they start coming after people you like, shit gets really personal real fast. Call it shell shock if you will but after attempting to wade through that fuckpile of hate, I had to blow off some steam because god fucking damn. It’s one thing to be a douche but it’s a whole ‘nother level of fucked up to arrange causing people actual fiscal and physical harm because you don’t like them.

The fuck is wrong with 4chan?

Seriously, like what the fuck? And I’m not talking about the common troll, I mean the seriously fucked up, intolerant, racist, sexist, douche bag ass hats that are spawned in that cess pool and spill out into the rest of our neat and tidy internet and shit all over it. Seriously, fuck those guys with barbed wire dildos. Now I’m not saying that you’re a cunt biter if you come from that site but it sure ain’t helping your case either.
