What originally attracted me to the furry community was the promise of a beautiful positivity and joi de vivre where everyone can just be happy and play and love one another without limits. It was a disappointment to immediately learn it not only came with the usual human baggage but it amplified it.

@SteveTheDragon
It probably did have all of that initially. But then they got political, and in a really bad way. And I'm sure you've seen the result much better than me.

@alyx oh it was bad even before that.

@alyx @SteveTheDragon i thnk a good 98 percent of my interactions with others over the course of my life were people only fucking with me. Which turned me into the bitter asshole you see today.

@SteveTheDragon
I can certainly feel the bitterness in you, but so far, I haven't thought of you as an asshole.
