A healthy dose of controversy

I have a fursona. And before you unfollow/unwatch me on unjustified grounds, I’d like to say something.

Furries are not bad. The furdom is not bad. Fursonas are not bad. Not all furries like yiff, much like not every 4channer watches porn/surfs /b/ and faps, not every Anonymous is a hacker, not every /b/tard is a paedophile, and not every newfag cannot triforce.

I for one have barely even seen any porn, let alone yiff, nor am I interested in seeing more of it. I do not surf /b/ while fapping. I know HTML/XHTML and CSS, but I have barely even touched Python and C++, or any other programming language that can be used for hacking. I am not a paedophile, and…

Okay, well, maybe I’m an average newfag.

However, if your opinion is that a furry is a person who gets sexually turned on by animals, then I am by your definition not a furry in any sort of way. I’m into the fandom because I enjoy drawing/designing/looking at well-designed animal characters with human attributes. Hey, I enjoy films/comics/games with animal characters. Are Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Bone, Link from The Legend of Zelda, Blacksad, every Pokémon ever, every enemy in the Mario games, Spyro the Dragon, Sly Cooper, Ratchet from Ratchet & Clank, Daxter from Jak & Daxter, Crash Bandicoot, Star Fox, Aslan from Narnia, Remus Lupin from Harry Potter (and just about everyone with a patronus, as well as every animagus), furries too? Thought so.

I have a fursona because I think it’s fun to design a cartoon animal character that’s an internet representation of me. I’m no good at drawing humans, and I don’t feel comfortable with having a photo, nor a drawing, of my human self on the internet. And besides, it’s all in good fun.

If I were the kind of furry that most of you define as furry, then Remis Kalvan (for that is my alter ego’s name) would 1. have sex with every furry on Earth every day, and 2. he would be the main character of Project Eléntra. (For those that don’t know, it’s a huge comic project I’ve been working on for three years.) Oh, yeah, and Project Eléntra would essentially be a gay, furry orgy with some bloody fights and stuff.

…I am not like that, nor do I desire to be. I’m just a completely regular person who’s having fun designing a fursona. And if you, after reading all that, are still going to unwatch/unfollow/hate me, then go ahead. I assume that you followed me in the first place because of one/both of two things:

1. You like my art and would like to see more of it.

2. You like me as a person and would like to communicate with me.

If you for some reason stop liking me/my art because I have a fursona, then you’re not a person I do nor will care for, and so I would just like to tell you to kindly get the fuck off my blog.
