When you become too involved with something, it becomes too easy to associate elements from what you're doing as the norm, which is why it's imperative to have an outside in perspective, otherwise you'd get lost in it.

We all poke fun at it all the time, daily. However, most people don't devote three quarters of their posts to complaining about furries unironically. Like, I fucking get it. I've been here long enough to know the community as a whole isn't great. However, I can't fathom why you'd stick around if all you do is complain. If you have such a bad time, do something else. I don't identify with most furries. I'm perfectly okay with this. I don't need the fandom to conform to me. I don't need to be a majority. The fandom can be whatever the fuck it wants because I will still find my place to have fun (which is here. You guys are great). I don't see the point in being upset with the community all the fucking time. I don't see the point in bitching about things I can't change. I don't see the point in worrying about our appearance to the outside. It's not ever going to be universally socially acceptable.

Of course dude, I do live in both after all. But you claim that you don't act socially awkward yet there is evidence to the contrary. E.g: while discussing a babyfur topic over at FAF you claim a lab blowing up at the tent city you're staying at which in no way had any relation to the original topic.

Maybe those at the bottom have come to terms that they are shitty people and have found that being happy does not require another's approval. I just came to the conclusion that society is going to bitch me out over what I do or don't do either way. "What? You denied gunning for the traditional college route? You went to technical school? You're stupid! You're a failure at life! You're never going to get anywhere with an attitude like that!" "How can you possibly not be chivalrous? You're a man! Stick to your gender's traditional roles! Be a leader! Serve women! Be this! Be that!" "How can you stand being introverted? You should work on your social skills! Be more social! Get crazy! Be outgoing! You'll learn to like it over time!" "You're not a patriot? You hate America! You're anti-American! Where's your nationalist spirit?" "You oppose unchecked mass immigration to the US? You're not liberal enough!" "You're not interested in keeping out every single immigrant? Holy smokes, you're a filthy libtard! Unlock your inner Trump!" "You're a black atheist? Time to brand you as a racial outcast!" I'm not sure if I'm just not normie enough for most people or if I just possess a passive "social apathy" aura that drives most people into savage frenzies the moment they sniff out the stinking non-conformist in me or something. Or maybe I ask too many questions. Or perhaps it's both. Whatever it is, I'm fairly confident that it's cemented in my genetic code and therefore is virtually (at least for now) impossible to alter. I mean I get it: humans have a biological imperative to maintain group cohesion and solidarity by enforcing strict standards of social conformity in order to maximize the group's survival potential and minimize the odds of a rogue element fucking everything up for everyone (or at least that's what I suspect what all of this pro-normie shit has its origins in)---but holy fuck does it grate on my nerves sometimes. And now you see why I act fake all the time. It's the best winning strategy that yields consistently positive results. How else am I going to get people to do things for me? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrGravitas Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 It's kind of heart warming to see the team pull together against this push for expanded after-hours monitoring. They're finally learning to push for what they can get, not just meekly ask for what seems reasonable (hint: they under cut and fall all over themselves by trying to seem 'reasonable') or accepting what they are given. They are learning to bargain as equals rather than underlings. All the better that it benefits me with twice the effectiveness at a sixth the effort on my part ^.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Lee Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I want to art. I am fully aware that good arting requires a ton of practice to become good. I also believe there is some innate talent there as well, that some are better than others because of the kind of brain (and possibly meyers briggs personality) they have, so it's somewhat easier for them, even if it requires practice. I just think arting about everything that bugs me, about the things that frustrate me, would be a great way of coping with things. I'm getting my frustrations on everything onto paper so I can get it out and vent it. I'd probably also art a lot of the songs that make me happy as well.

For me, and I can't speak for anyone else on this matter, creating art is a very relaxing activity because I can shut out all other distractions in my life and focus entirely on the pure joy of making something. Not really caring about the results. Its cathartic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
