It surprises me just how many people around the world receive hate just because they are “a furry”. I don’t know if I am just one of the minorities who are lucky enough to have avoided such hate, or if it is simply just exaggeration. I mean, I have only read about all this hate on the internet (Facebook statuses, FAF threads, Twitter, Furry News and more) of furs expressing their experiences; however the internet is really just a big network of drama. Moreover, the internet seems to thrive on negative news – any negative news. I’m sure the positive stories are out there, but positive is boring so it never spreads further than the BFF and family. This is a shame really. I first came out to my colleagues that I am gay about 10 years ago, just after I got engaged. Everyone was so lovely about it. They welcomed my lifestyle, and embraced my partner (still together) and love hearing stories about our kids. This year, I came out as furry as well. Some of my colleagues didn’t know what a furry was (so I explained all about it – the good, the bad and the ugly), others had heard of the fandom before. Again I was supported, and they even like seeing my art work (even the adult stuff). I am known as “the wolf” in my office and I even sign off on my emails with ~The Wolf~ (internal staff emails only, not ones to clients of course lol). My work computer desktop is covered in furry art (SFW out of respect of course) and are even for asking updates on my fursuit that I haven’t started yet lol. Same with personal life as well, family and friends all accept me with no judgement. So, with that said, what is the deal with all this hate that I have personally not witnessed? Because I want to know – am I just lucky, or are things not really as bad as they seem?

I've been saying this for years and I say this again; I don't know how people can NOT be skeptic of everything they read on the internet when there's so many contradictory claims, so many "facts" and so much "proof". I can "prove" that the holocaust was committed by gays for fuck's sake. And today that whole stuff hit me right in the face, because I let my guard down. Basically, what I felt was a credible source said how awesome coconut oil is and how good it is for your body. So I bought some coconut oil to try it out. But then I check Wikipedia that says a FUCKTON OF PUBLIC HEALTH ORGANIZATION SAID COCONUT OIL WAS LITERALLY HITLER and I'm like... what the fuck? Was I fooled? Do both sides of the argument have a point? Is the truth in the middle? Because I thought that a pair of fitness guys who regularly work together with Jamie fuckin' Oliver would know this shit but here they are promoting something that health organizations worldwide say is bad for you. I don't fuckin' get it. And yet, SEVERAL of the first google results have lists with shit like "10 reasons why coconut oil is good for you" or whatever and I'm like... fuck you, internet, it can't be one way or another. I could also make something political about the dangers of this misinformation era we live in but I'll settle on coconut oil for now. Basically, fuck you internet and fuck you google. How am I supposed to know what's fact or what's fiction? It's because of you I'm terrified of believing anything on the internet 100%. HACK THE PLANET
