The Annoyance of Furries: Witchiebunny

Meet Witchiebunny, a furry who spends an inordinate amount of time defending and being defensive about her indefensible fandom and fellows.

I don't claim to be one that has a lot of common sense, but even I can say that commen sense tells you, if you spend this much time apologizing for, and making excuses for, and explaining your fandom and your hobby/interest, it's probably a bad fandom and a bad interest.

Here's a pointed bit of evidence of that fact. Here, Witchiebunny gives us the old tired explanation that people like Chewfox and Tomcat, who appeared on national TV to declare that furry is without question a fetish thing, are the exceptions and in the minority. "Sex sells! And furry isn't all about that!" Witchie loudly proclaims. Look, Witchie, honey - if you have to have this conversation over, and over, and over and dismiss person upon person from your furry fandumb as being in the minority and an exception to the rule, you eventually give us the impression that they are in fact the majority, for how often you have to engage in damage control.

I'll say that again in the short version, so none of you get any tl;dr out of this. If you have to keep make excuses for weirdo after weirdo from your fandom, over and over again, they are the rule and not the exception. Get the picture, furries?

The thing here is, Witchie seems to be a smart person. She's studying and going to college, she's a good communicator and she writes well. But good underlord she spends a lot of time on a lot of worthless crap and useless people. I can only hope she finally breaks away from the furry losers and applies herself to better things.

Wow, positive thought from such a negative cavern dweller, there, to end on. Oh well - until next time, sunlight users!
