You know, furry fans do tend to catch a lot of flak wherever they go.
Sometimes, you have to feel sorry for them. There are so MANY
stereotypes that just get continuously reinforced about furries,
mostly because a lot of them are all people see of the fandom-
obsessives and wierdos, fetishists, loudmouths, idiots, and jerks. And
that's just what I've been called this week. Lol.
Still, to get back on the subject, it just seems that the situation
got blown out of proportion. So a bunch of idiots got together for
their daily circle-jerk again, and one of them said something stupid,
like always. I don't see the problem, besides what's always being said
about any and every furry artist- rumors and meaningless speculation.
If Des wants to respond to idiocy, then she can gain satisfaction, but
what will she lose? Fans' faith in her. We respect her work, and we
don't want to see it end over such a relatively small matter. And what
will this really change? A couple of people will be properly
chastened, and come away from the experience completely clueless
anyway. Why waste time and effort on such idiocy when it does little
to no good? Let it go, brush it off, and create more of your own work
to showcase the difference in styles. That's my advice, at least, as
an avid fan and complete nobody in the furry fandom.
P.S.- Oh, and what is MFM, by the way?
