Im back, but im not the same!

[Nrein]

This all reminds me of a conversation I had with some furry weeks ago.

He'd started freaking out on my because my fursona was too "plain and basic" and that it screamed that I had "no sense of style, creativity or imagination." Went on to say some other things that I won't repeat here. Suffice it to say, the ideal that a fursona *has* to be generalized into meaning a person is like or is of being the stereotype, is so... opposite of what furries preach they're against.  Most furries despise stereotypes and freak on most people who use them, yet most furries use the most amount of stereotypes x.x

To put my own two cents in, what does it matter how anyone else feels about they're choice of fursona so long as they're happy about it and feel it's right? It isn't  entirely "socially acceptable" to be a furry or associate with them period but you still are nixon, so keep that in mind.

Furries like to say they will repect and love everyone, bronies do to, but not all do, and its sad, this is a place to be yourself and get away from people who say you need to act a certain way, not be judged in another light,

why cant we all just be friends, because, as we all know, friendship IS magic,

ok, Lua back, more to say i guess.

First off,, as Cobalt's girlfriend I like to think I know him pretty well, and doubt a couple haters could hurt him, mentally or physically. Also, I would hope that IF they did, that I and his friends would be there to help him through it.

Secondly, aren't the forums, and other sites like this supposed to help  us? I thought they were hear to unite people of like interests and support community and friendship. At least, I thought, maybe I'm wrong, but that's why I'M here. But it's also my opinion that ponies are just a very specific sub group of furry, so shouldn't we pull together and help each other out?
I don't care if you are a brony,  a furry, or a "normal" human, I don't care if you have a simple fursona, or an insanely original one, we are all the same here, we are members of a single community, and we should show that, by sticking together. To  be honest, we have bigger problems than a fandom, or people in that fandom, so let's stop and think, show each other some love. If you don't like something, don't post. No one here is looking for a debate, Cobalt was simply offering to share his reason's for changing his fursona, and also, letting the community know what happened.

Sorry if any one feels insulted, targeted, offended or is in any way upset. Just expressing my views here. I hope we can all get along some day. but, first we need to get past stereotypes, and racism, and just general hate. Remember y'all there isn't anyone better than you, and you aren't better than anyone else, we are all human and we are all flawed, but that doesn't mean we can't learn to love each other.

Lua out/

Do you think I'm being mean? I'm serious here. Do you? I'm not trying to shoot him down.

[Cobalt Storm]

calling me un manly, insulting the things i like, and generaly diminishing me seems mean to me, and thats what it felt like, like you where insulting and diminishing me.

[pawz9]

I agree that's what it seemed like to me I know you probably didn't mean it that way but that's what it sounded like

[Cobalt Storm]

also, you said you are trying to warn me about hate i might get from people, but you dont understand that i dont need warning, i constantly get hate, from random people, friends, even my own parents, i just never thought i would get hate here, on a furry site.

[nixon/monto]

If think this is hate then peace, bye, I'm out. Sorry forget I said anything.

Everyone chill out. Srsly. I'm reading these posts and it SUCKS as an introduction thread.
