Reality is harsh right now. It's gotten bad, and not just in the furry fandom. The best I can say is, find your own group of open minded friends who you can have respectful and honest discussions with. You learn more about people with how they react to ideas they DON'T like. Good luck out there <3

And in this fandom the definitions of those things change with the wind. At a some point you will meet psychos who will use compassion as a mask in order to exact revenge on people they label as "bullies". We've all been bullied and felt pain before, but some have let resentment take control.

The furry fandom grew a lot more hostile in the 20 or so years I've been a part of it. It was not like this in '05

Some basics - Don't encourage, excuse or defend violence, Don't be hateful, and don't label/slander people. Seems simple enough but be careful, its a minefield out there.

I think—if I’m reading it right—it’s actually meant as a positive mantra! A lot of artists (myself included) struggle to even start because of the fear it won’t turn out “good.” It’s like buying a fresh sketchbook and then freezing up at that first blank page. (1/2)

Dylan Carbonell @dylancartoonell.bsky.social · Aug 19

I’m confused: Do people think “Make it exist now, make it good later” is a bad mantra? Do people think great art just bursts from the skull fully formed?

….is there anybody who can make that happen? If so tell me how! XD

I also believe in the mantra of Jake the dog, "Sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something"

It's ok to feel unsatisfied, that's a part of the journey. A rather long part of it, but essential to growing. Early crappy art is the manure in which future flowers will grow :3

OH omg I feel dumb lol. Yeah no I think most people would be really good about that tbh. We're a pretty high trust fandom overall i think? This honestly sounds like a fine idea :3

Sorry I had a totally different idea of "self service" lol.

ThatCatCid @cidcat.bsky.social · Aug 18

@tartii.com to be clear, we're talkin about an unattended booth ehere people can take a sticker and leave cash in a lockbox, or order from a tablet with their cards without any face to face interaction? Cause that's what I'm envisioning when I hear the term self serve or am I misunderstanding?

Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but I'm against the whole concept of self-serve at a con. To me the point is to talk to people, and make friends and socialize. But i also refuse self checkout at the grocery store for the same reason. Yep, just that socially starved and lonely 😹
