I think I’m just going to give certain folks what they want and utterly remove myself from the furry fandom at large. I’ll still be here but that’s it. I got involved with a lot of bad shit over the years and I regret pretty much everything aside from the friends I made and still have to this day. This little community is all I need, and evidently any healing that needs to happen can’t happen with me around.

So aside from this mastodon instance and the little circle I’ve been a part of here, and my close circle of friends on our private discord, I’m just pulling out. I’m done with the stress and the drama and the bullshit. It’s not worth it just to get further involved with fandom BS that does nothing but cause everybody involved a headache.

Like I said the other day, I’m done being public-facing, it’s just not worth it. If people want to take out-of-context screenshots from years ago or blatantly lie and gaslight me and my friends to get their way, let them. They can have the furry fandom, and I’ll stick to me and mine.

@Aarkethrix I mean that's essentially what I did a few years ago and been much happier since.
