I've gone through that.
Why.
I used to be quite popular
[spoken faster]-ish
[normal speed] but when I told people I was a furry, I was relentlessly bullied.
And it's not like a staff member would understand.
One thing I F**KING HATE among everyone from Gen X and earlier...
"What's a furry?" "A what?"
Then, when a student (typically anti-furry or "harbringer") tells them, it's a f**king stereotype.
This. Leaves. Me. Furious.
Then, when I tell them why I'm upset, I get the blame.
I officially hate society.
This stream is my one and only safe place.
