apology to the furries :(

Hey guys, it's me again. It's been a LONG while since i've posted anything here, apart from status updates. Also, that Song of The Week blog that I made a few months ago? I decided to abandon that. Unfortunately i can't really keep a weekly routine and end up forgetting everything. Haha.

 

Ok, now i want to talk about something serious. Ever since I was like, 5 or something , I was a huge fan of cartoon animal characters that could walk and talk like people. As you know, there are TONS of kids shows that featured walking and talking animals that I was a huge fan of when I was younger, such as Looney Tunes, Flushed Away, Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, and many other great shows and movies that I enjoyed I cannot possibly fit into the list. I was also a fan of video games that included animals like Sonic The Hedgehog. So yeah, my early life was pretty much dominated by colorful kids shows with anthropomorphic animals and would spend hours everyday watching them.

 

During 2013, that's when I started to forget about my obsession with anthropomorphic animals. I didn't lose interest, i still had it. My obsession with kids shows with animals was just "packed away" for some reason. That was also the year that I discovered what a Furry is. All because I was being such a close minded idiot I just decided to stereotype them as sexual predators who would do stuff children or some shit. Because I was close minded, I would often go on furry videos on YouTube and troll them in the comments section, telling them to kill themselves, and how they were pedos and rapists etc. Even in real life I told all my friends and misguided them into making them think that furries were a bunch of sick f**ks and needed to be killed for doing stuff to animals or something like that. They were all horrified by how I described them so they were hating on them too.

 

However, during this year, 2016, something flicked a switch in my head. Disney released a trailer for a new animated film featuring anthropomorphic animals. The movie was Zootopia (i'm pretty sure you guys know what it is). That's when I learned the word 'anthropomorphic'. I knew there was a fancy word to describe cartoon animals that dress up and act like people and that's when I remembered my early days when I was hooked onto stuff like that. I flashed back to the days I would watch Kung Fu Panda and Looney Tunes on a daily basis. I got so much nostalgia and suddenly unleashed my obsession with anthropomorphic animals once again after so many years. I was like "No way! I seriously gotta see this movie!". So i did. I watched the movie with my friends and I have to say, Zootopia is by far my No.1 favourite movie. It was better than anything i've seen in my life!

 

Ever since that day, I was proud to call myself a Furry. However, I remembered all the stupid shit I said about furries in the past online and in real life. I the realised what a furry truly is. They weren't sexual predators, pedos, or murderers. I decided to open my mind more and look at the positives. The furries were actually the nicest and most open minded and caring communtiy when I learned MORE about them. Things got even better. I also discovered that this entire furry community has the exact same interests as I did! They were also fans of Looney Tunes, Sonic the Hedgehog etc. just like myself! I no longer felt alone. I could finally be a part of one HUGE community full of people who enjoy the same stuff I do and interact with them!

 

Looking back at what I had done in the past, all of that stupid shit I said about furries online and in real life, i utterly regret it. All the damage that I have done, I don't think I can fix it. Typing up 'furry' in the search bar on youtube, the too results are cringe conpilations, which are a collection of awkward and embarrasing stuff people do. Before, I was laughing at these videos, but now, it saddens me. It reminded me of the monster I was in the past to these guys. I decided to tell my friends to forget about what i said about the fandom and told them truth about it. Hen I told them that i'm one myself now.

 

In conclusion, I just want to say that i am truly sorry for being a close minded asshole to you guys, if you are a furry. And if you don't forgive me, i don't blame you. I've been a total ass and I admit, I f**ked up real bad.

 

Right now, i am trying to find out how i can make uo for everything and i just want to say that, i'm proud to be a furry and promise i'll never look down upon you ever again.

Aww.. I can see you've done a terrible dead back then but it's okay. I made the same mistake too. When I was young I thought these creatures were like angels from above. As I grew up, I disliked them because they were getting too overrated and I saw them everywhere. I decided to abuse them and call them "fake" But in 2015 I changed my ways and became one myself. I still feel guilty for doing what I did.. I know you feel guilty as well but.. Like in the song, she says

 

"I keep falling down, I keep on hitting the ground but I always get up to see what's next" or

"I keep on making them everyday, those new mistakes."

I honestly don't think you need to go and try to make things right, everybody makes mistakes. As long as you own up to thode mistakes, then I believe that you should be on the right path of things, but if you feel that it's necessary to make up for it, just spread the positive message of the Fandom, showing others that many stereotypes are incorrect and to inform them of the truths behind it.

Anyways, you seem like a good person and you shouldn't let your past control your future. *hugs and what not*

You're not alone, I used to be the exact same way with bronies, look at me now lol :)

 

We all do things that we regret but that doesn't make us bad people, it just makes us human. What happens in the past stays in the past and the biggest effect it has on us in the present day is teaching us how to work around our mistakes and how to not make them again.

I may not call myself a furry, but here's a little quote that I came up with.

 

"Solve problems as problems themselves arise."

 

As someone said above, there's no need to apologize. Mistakes happen and your deeds are redeemed by how much you've changed, not by how many words you type. As long as you feel you've changed and are willing to show you're a better person, people will forgive you.

Zootopia is an amazing movie, it gave me so much happiness, like MLP, I have always been a furry, but I did have the same though about bronies, before I watched the show, now I have come to admire this fandom. As a furry I say, don't fret, most of us do not hold grudges, and are quick to forgive, just like Nick forgave Judy and became friends again, you are a fine example of exemplary human honour.
