I pretty much agree with this. For me, anthropomorphics was always
about cartoon animals or even aliens. That's it. But somewhere
along the way, all the kiddy-diddlers, animal-fuckers, extreme
fetishists and wannabe's suddenly hopped aboard and changed the
fandom into what it is now. I know of many people who have left
because it just got to be too weird for them; it was no longer fun
and lively. People now spit venom on chan boards, rip artist's work
and share it with countless others before the artist has even sold
five copies of the product, and there seem to be waaaaay too many
mentally unstable individuals parading the hallways these days.
I've never swayed from what I've always done in this genre. I
don't have any online diaries or other accounts on places like FA or
DA or (insert name of trendy art site here). I like the way things
used to be in the fandom, and I'll continue to do things that way. I
would imagine some folks might make fun of this tactic, but the way I
see it, there are bound to be others who feel the same way, and at
least they'll have this place to come to to escape the stupidity
which is invading so many other places.
