Internet, I am Disappoint

breezeshadowInternet. I understand that when you don't like someone, you really truly don't like them. But there are way better ways to insult someone than to insult other innocent people in the process, and also, many of these people aren't deserving of your insults.
For instance, the crowd-funding projects by furries to raise money for a humane society? Why is that so awful? Because you don't like seeing people wearing fursuits? Shockingly enough, not every fur is into bestiality. Did you know that not all furries dress in fursuits either? It's true! And furthermore, you're hating them raising money for a GOOD CAUSE because oh no they consider themselves to have the mind/spirit/etc of an animal. Horror. How dare they... Support charities or something.
Oh and also. So someone writes a book with no humans in it that's a fantasy. And wants a Kickstarter for it. Okay, so maybe they won't get their funding, but whatever. But to then say "this seems to appeal mainly to the “i identify as a greysexual autistic swan” demographic"? Um, excuse me?
If someone wants to identify as a greysexual autistic swan, I do believe that is their own fucking business, and you do not have a right to judge them unless they're being a whiny asswipe about it trying to get attention as a special snowflake. Even then? Judged them for their behavior, not their identity. As someone who identifies as asexual, has autistic siblings, and has dated two furries, this really offends me, and many other people who, heaven forbid, are different from you.
Don't call bronies "broken autistic adults" because the idea of grown men liking some bizarre cartoon about ponies offends you. They're not broken, or autistic. They just have different tastes. Maybe SOME Of them are weird creepers, but that still does not make them autistic.
And to the NaNoWriMo blog, while I for the most part like your posts, yes it IS possible for a character to end up doing something or being something you weren't expecting. Alden and Bertram were not originally intended to be a gay couple. Gareth was not originally gay. Some things just sort of come out over time in the course of writing. Going "OMG I don't want these characters to be together but they JUST ARE" is a bit overkill, but other things are not so implausible. Oh and people who participate in NaNoWriMo aren't automatically loser writers. I kind of regret anonymously supporting you after seeming some of your posts.
So everyone get the fuck off of your high horse. Stop insulting people you dislike or just don't understand. Not all furries are into bestiality. I guarantee most bronies aren't autistic. Greysexual is not some sort of hipster Tumblr thing. I swear, every time I think I have found a Tumblr or blog that is mocking people who deserve it and is intellectual, they spew out some "OMG LOOK AT THOSE RETARDED FURRIES SOMEONE PUT THEM DOWN AUTISTIC WANKERS" bullshit and I want to smash something.
Bloody hell, internet. Bloody. Hell.

Date: 2012-12-04 12:20 pm (UTC)Also: A greysexual autistic swan happens to be one of my buddies on here, and I have a feeling that since sie has been outspoken in the therian/furry communities, someone may have been making a deliberate dig at hir if they made that response, so... *fumes*
Bleh. People are turds, and next time your brain is trying to tell you bad things about yourself, reference this post as an example of how not-a-turd you are, since you actually accept other people instead of blanket hating them for being part of different subcultures.
ETA: WOW, I didn't address the writing or furries part of this?
1. Man, my characters NEVER go where I expect them to. I write, they wind up doing whatever the fuck they want.
2. Furries are some of the most generous people that I know when it comes to charitable giving. You'll never see a con that DOESN'T involve some kind of big fundraiser for a rescue org.
