Sometimes I appreciate having friends both online and offline who take their time out of their own lives to spend 4 hours trying to talk me out of a bad place.
I dunno if this is the kind of site where ya pour out stuff like this but I feel like it needs to be said. With the craziness thats going on with FA being hijacked by some pathetic troll thats using an account on X-formerly twitter- to spew out more hate towards the furry community actually affected me more than I like to admit as I'm Mildly autistic, my social skills online are vastly different from how I interact with actual people, I stutter and speak as if I'm constantly hyped on sugar and caffeine.
So seeing all this crap about how all Furrys are pedos and zoophiles actually had me question myself to the point where I was locking myself in my room to be alone with some....very dark thoughts, I'm just very thankful my sister called up some friends to drag me out, lot of tears, lot of shouting and a lot of everything was let loose in just a few short 4 hours followed by some healing food and gaming then more cheering up from online friends
All I have to say to all this, no fandoms perfect, no community is innoccent, there will always be a bad egg in the bunch, the trick is to not let it spoil your decision based on some idiot trying to push his ideals.
.....I was not expecting but much appreaciated
You have way more courage than I do for posting this, as many things that burden my mind I just can't find myself to dump it all here albeit in a status or blog post.
Not saying this in against the idea, it's just I don't have it in me to do so, but I'm grateful that you were willing to do so and your sister/friends have my upmost respect and praise for being there for you, and you in turn for having the strength.
I'm like that as well, bottling things up and keeping them to myself, but I just felt like this needed to be vented out and yeah I do feel a lot better that this has been dumped out.
Not like I'm insisting you do the same, we all have different ways of coping as we're all built different, you're you and you know what works for you. So yeah, thanks for the praise, greatly appreciated and welcomed
