artist needed money for college, people from tumblr/dA told them their prices were too expensive and that no one would commission them.
artist was desperate and logged on to their old Furaffinity account to take commissions
artist got a shitton of commissions and everyone was supportive and encouraging
people ended up tipping the artist 10-20$ per commission because they thought the artist was undercharging
tl;dr - furries supported artist and treated them better than the “pro-artist” sides of dA and tumblr.
so when’s cringe culture gonna wake up and realize that this weird baseless hatred of furries is largely rooted in the fact that it’s a community of 95% openly queer & sex-positive folk…
Furry hatred is deceased, 2008 is over baby
and people like to point to the infamous confederate flag fursuit and the inappropriate behavior of some furies at conventions…. completely ignoring the fact that suits like that get banned from conventions, that “antifa furs” are very much a thing, and that most furries hate “cub porn” and bestiality and flaunting your kink in all-ages spaces.
not to mention all the money they raise for animal welfare and indigenous peoples legal funds!
and of course these people never seem to criticize anime convention goers for dressing as anime nazis and heiling for photos or using panels as an excuse to sexually harass cosplayers, and selling porn of underage characters in artist’s alley…. basically every problem they have with furries except there are way more anime conventions and this behavior is much more accepted, I guess because dressing up as a dog is what makes it immoral, right?
Furries aren’t the only ones who trash hotel rooms and make bad porn. They aren’t even the ones who do it the most.
