i keep seeing ppl call new anduin ugly and im do like it and the meanings coming frm his new look but i can get why some dont but they also jus made him look kinda like his va so i keep feelin so bad fr him when i see so many posts callin the new look ugly sdhgjjhkdsgh

RIGHT like i mean first of all y'all do know that like. there's a face model for Anduins character right. you're aware of that? lol he does kinda look more like Josh now as well...

but yeah I get why people don't like the look, Anduins long blonde hair was pretty iconic to his character - I also miss the hair. its just that there's actually a thematic, story-driven reason for why he looks the way he does. it's the people whining that apparently he just looks generic now bc WoW wants a generic protag look, while completely ignoring... i mean, Anduins entire story. this is a very basic comparison (in my defense I don't feel good) but it's like people complaining about Mulan cutting her hair. like. there was a reason for that people lmfao there's more to his character than flowing gold locks lmfao

Hi! I just wanted to say that it's kinda cool that, even though you've had negative/formative experiences with certain kinks/expressions that that you don’t hate on them.

I'm really hoping I'm not out of line, please tell me of I am! But, I'm a tag reader, so, I've seen the posts you've rebloged about furries and your experiences with them (which, I'm sorry, that's real Ungood) and you still seem really supportive of them.

Given today's spicy climate, it's really refreshing to see someone say that, even though an experience really soured something for them, they are still able to be objective (within their own limits) and be supportive.

It's encouraging. And, inspiring as a person with a LOT of, uh, hang ups.

I appreciate you. I also just like your blog and how freely you love things.

Wish you the best!

Not out of line! I appreciate the kind words.

I am absolutely supportive of the furry community! Always have been and always will be. It's an incredible community of such a diverse and creative group of people, and a highly queer one at that. In so many of the groups I've seen, it's one of the ones that's the most passionate. Wholly themselves and accepting of others.

It's just not a community I want to be a part of, at least not at this time. As you know, bad experiences. So I distanced myself a bit. I would never fault such a thing on an entire community when it was just a few people ruining it for me. People underestimate how vast the furry fandom is. They're not able to control EVERYONE that deems themselves a part of it. Especially since they are like cockroaches.

I mean. I'm literally a Warrior cats kid. I have a fursona. I'm obsessed with MLP. I think furry art is very inspiring, fursona designs are always so diverse and interesting. It's fun!!! This stuff is fun!!! I'm the last one you will find actually condemning furries.

But it's just like. A knitting group. Yes, I knit. They also knit, together, have a merry old time. However, Alyssa killed my berry bushes. I know Marc took my goddamn lawn gnome. Those are not the actions of everyone, but those two are bitches. So no Sherry I'm not coming to Saturday Sknitting.

So, tl;dr. Love the community, I'm just not a part of that community.

I'm never gonna understand how people can't interact with things that way. You can dislike something, and be wary of the people who do like it, WITHOUT being a jerk about it. You can still appreciate the beauty and art of something while acknowledging your negative experiences with it. I'm just preaching though so ✌

Thank you again and I appreciate it :)

In reference to your tags on the furry post: Personally find it weird that the consensus is 'any negative thought about furries is queerphobia/ableist' like, damn, there is a middle ground where people's lived experience, with some but not all furries, is just straight negative which then leads into an attitude of wariness overall.

The same furries that point out many furries are neurodivergent will turn around and ignore the fact that sometimes that neurodivergence can mean furries don't notice or just overstep the boundaries of those around them. An especially charged issue when many furries are also kinky as hell. I've personally been in discords with seperate n-s-f-w chats only to have random and intense content being suddenly dropped into gen chats by an overzealous furry, as like an example of the lack of boundary stuff. Idk I think people get very defensive about it due to the hate the furry community gets over actual bullshit reasons and so when a legitimate gripe comes up it goes full black and white thinking on it. "Many people do bad faith takes thus all takes that aren't positive about the community are always in bad faith" kinda vibes.

Also like in regards to the uh, animal abusing furries. Defo don't think all furries are like that but I think it's the vibe that people like that can get shielded and supported because of the all or nothing vibe of the community that's come as a response to getting flack for being different that's the issue, at least for me.

The response is usually 'we're not all like that' and 'actually the furry community hates people like that' it can all be very no true scottsman-like. You can even see it in the tags/reblogs of that post you reblogged even.

If the response was more like 'yeah I think maybe being in an overly supportive and reactive community gave them a bit too much freedom and space to be sus without examination and that's a thing we need to discuss going forward to avoid having/keeping people like this in the community' then I think it'd be less of a contentious issue. You gotta be shown to actively trying to root out bad actors instead of getting defensive, ya know? That's the frustration for me at least.

Absolutely right anon, and absolutely agreed!

I completely understand that the furry community gets a lot of undue hate - and yes, a lot of that hate is from ableism or queerphobia. I'm not denying that. But to discount everyone who might have a problem with the community as either easily manipulated and unaware, or a straight-up bigot, is incredibly unreasonable and unfair. It also ignores that yes, the fur community has huge issues - that you've very succinctly pointed out.

That is absolutely where I take issue, because it discounts the fact that people can just have negative experiences with that community. It pops a lampshade right over everything - everyone who dislikes the furry community is a bigot actually, and there are no other possible explanations for that. No other reason people could possibly dislike furries.

Like, sorry to say it, but the majority of the experiences I've had directly with the furry community have been negative. They've done some gross shit and disrespected my boundaries. No, I don't really appreciate being shown furry porn out in the open unprompted on three separate occasions. With different furries. That is not something I, or anyone, can change. So yeah, it's put a bad taste in my mouth. With the bullshit I've encountered, I'm justified in not really wanting to associate with that community. I really don't appreciate that the general consensus when someone dislikes them is that clearly that person is just an ableist asshole who hates neurodivergent people. It completely ignores the fact that the furry community is far from fucking perfect. Which is also honestly very telling on it's own about how much they refuse to acknowledge those issues. It is always deflections or hand waves.

Like you said, it's all a bunch of no true Scotsman fallacies. You worded it really well in the last paragraph because it's the same frustration I feel. No, not all furries are like that. Of course they're not. Yes, the vast majority of the furry community hate those people. I'm not saying that all furries condone that sort of behavior and that they should be persecuted, my stance is just "Furries are cool but I've had nothing but very negative experiences with that community so it's not something I want to interact with." That's it. I don't know why I have to be labeled a bigot for that.

I get it, it sucks to have those sorts of people putting a fucking stain on your community that is otherwise very fun and supportive (if prone to drama). There is also no way to truly control the community from having those kinds of people. But the solution to that problem isn't "but not all furries are like that so you're not allowed to dislike furries!!!" That completely ignores the problem and is disrespectful towards people who find the existence of those people a deal breaker.

I know for a fact two of the people who bragged to me about abusing their dogs are still fully accepted in their part of the community. Considering I was just some random outsider that happened to be there when they bragged about it, I HIGHLY doubt that people just aren't aware of it. That's not something that I can look past. Sorry.

(this post is a bit of a mess and I didn't address everything I wanted to but I'm at work in my defense lol)

#Anonymous #knick they knasks #i mean if anything its depressing and disappointing on my side too lol #like i love furry art i think its so cool and interesting!#furry art is fun the characters are so cool and the art is amazing #I! have a fursona! because its fun!#the only thing is I keep it to myself and my small group of friends #im not interested in associating with the community as a whole #thats IT why does that somehow make me a red flag!!!!#anyways lol #ty anon very well worded ask <3 summed up my own issues very well

Hello! <3 This might seem extremely random and I apologize if I weird you out, but do you still like Stancest or know any friend who does despite not interacting anymore? I was going through the Stancest tag on your blog and the last reblog is somewhat recent, that’s why I ask. I entered the fandom far too late and I miss people I could talk to. It’s okay if you don’t, I just had to ask out of sheer curiosity or I’d keep wondering.

Hi anon! Not random or weird so don't worry :)

I do still like the ship!! It is incredibly nostalgic for me because it was the first ship that ever got me to start writing fanfic. I'm not as invested in it anymore, I've mostly moved on interest-wise, but I still appreciate the ship a fair amount.

I don't know who all is still around, it's been a few years, but I do at least know of a Discord server that is dedicated to the ship. I sent the Admin a DM and they'd be glad to have you, I believe they still just do checks before adding anyone due to the nature of the ship. Please go ahead and DM me or send me an ask off anon so I can get your username and I can pass you along to him. I will NOT reveal it publicly if you're worried about that, don't worry. Trust me, I was one of the first to ship it, I know The Code. Even if you don't use Discord or join that server, I'm still sure they'd know better where to send you to start finding some other shippers in the fandom! Good luck bud! I know sometimes joining a fandom late can be rough so I hope you can find some people to hang out with and uncover all the good shit from the fandom :)

#knick they knasks #Anonymous #if you're not comfortable sharing your username thats alright also #just know there's not much more I can do without it!#all the people I used to hang out with around the ship have moved fandoms or moved on entirely so haha #no clue what the state of the Gravity Falls fandom is anymore tbh
