- I just caught myself writing a few paragraphs long comment on [Lobsters](https://lobste.rs) without really understanding what the author of the comment meant in the broader context of the discussion,
|
||||
after which I deleted my comment and gave myself a pat on the back for avoiding accidentally derailing the discussion.
|
||||
|
||||
% id = "01HREVZNAHRC9BJZJPH9RE21PE"
|
||||
- this is an unfortunate side effect of the tree-based structure of Lobsters.
|
||||
as much as I like tree-based forums, as they let you focus on many different (off-)topics without cluttering the main thread,
|
||||
it's damn near impossible to keep the broader context of _what the discussion is about_ when the thread nests more than 3 levels deep.

- therefore, if you ever find yourself writing an essay about just how wrong someone is, think to yourself: am I _really_ understanding what's going on in this discussion?
|
||||
and if not - maybe just shut up and let the rest of the idiots fan the flames instead.

- at some point I realized browsing memes adds nothing to my life, and I just stopped doing it.

obviously something had to take their place in killing time, and that became... reading [Lobste.rs](https://lobste.rs).

it's really pleasant to the touch.

+ if I could, I would hug out all the cats in the world.
|

unfortunately I'm allergic to cats, but at least I can imagine the enjoyment.
|

- actually, I _do_ hug my parents' cats somewhat regularly when I visit them.
|
||||
it's just that I get a rash 5 minutes after hugging them to my face :oh:
|

|

- honestly, it makes me think life would be a lot more pleasant if at least some of us had fur irl.
|

so why don't we?
|

|

- biology, evolution, and all that boring stuff of course...
|

- [_this dance is like a weapon of self-defense against the present tense_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPAZV8y4B44){.secret}
|
||||
|
||||
+ realising my love of fur has been a huge source of internal conflicts for some time.
|
||||
|
||||
- overcoming [fear of the unknown][page:philosophy/fear-of-the-unknown] isn't exactly the most easy or pleasant mental exercise.
|
||||
|
||||
- but being able to imagine I'm a humanoid cat lets me not worry about actual deficiencies of my body.
|
||||
|
||||
- I was born with atopic dermatitis, and my skin has always been a source of problems.
|
||||
|
||||
+ in early childhood I'd get horrible rashes, sometimes so painful and graphic I do not want to describe them here.
|
||||
|
||||
- especially before doctors recommended me good emollients to moisturise my skin with.
|
||||
my atopic dermatitis manifests itself as intense itching and skin dryness; moisturising is important in making it bearable
|
||||
|
||||
- some kids would ask me "what happened to you?" out of curiosity.
|
||||
I'd respond "nothing, it's just my illness."
|
||||
|
||||
- nowadays I take experimental meds which lower the symptoms to a manageable level.
|
||||
I actually started liking how I look after I started undergoing treatment.
|
||||
probably because my skin isn't inflamed all the damn time, so I can shift my focus from my face feeling red hot to actually appreciating how it looks.
|
||||
|
||||
- I view being a furry not as a rejection of my body, but rather as an augmentation of it.
|
||||
|
||||
- this is more or less why my fursona is so mundane.
|
||||
it's just me with cat features ---w---
|
||||
|
||||
+ I have an anime human-looking face rather than a snout.
|
||||
I think it's cuter that way :3
|
||||
|
||||
- technically anime-style faces _do_ resemble snouts slightly; they're just very short.
|
||||
(how fitting for a cat.)
|
||||
|
||||
- there are lots of cool things about the human body.
|
||||
the motor skill of your hands is kind of insane.
|
||||
unless you have some disability of course.
|
||||
|
||||
- but the customisation options are just so boooring! everybody looks pretty much the same.
|
||||
|
||||
+ you get to customise your shape and color of your hair, but not the size and placement of your ears, or the level and color of your floof?
|
||||
|
||||
- human floof so ugly and coarse ---w---
|
||||
|
||||
- and you don't even get a cute tail {-that constantly gets caught on closing doors _OW FUCK_-}
|
||||
|
||||
- all the other animals have those, so why not us?
|
||||
|
||||
- like I know they're not practical from a hunter-gatherer sort of standpoint, but we live in a society.
|
||||
|
||||
- I'll admit my first conscious exposure to furries was not _the most normal_ thing in the world.
|
||||
|
||||
- we were playing Geometry Dash with a friend at school, and we encountered a level that had some furry porn in it :oh:
|
||||
|
||||
- I was a pretty non-assertive kid at the time, so I conformed to his reactions (basically disgust.)
|
||||
|
||||
- except... later I thought about it, and the more I let the idea of a furry sink in, the more I liked it.
|
||||
yet the more I thought about that _thing_ (ugh) we encountered, the more I hated myself for thinking furries were cool.
|
||||
|
||||
- that's probably what led to me being anti-furry for a good while.
|
||||
|
||||
- so wanting to be a furry built up in me for 5--6 years. (it started around 2017--2018)
|
||||
|
||||
- the tipping point was after I played Deltarune and really liked Ralsei.
|
||||
"is it wrong to like a furry character from a game?"
|
||||
|
||||
- still my favourite fluffy kindboy ---w---
|
||||
|
||||
- a few months later...
|
||||
I stumbled upon [this blog post from soatok](https://soatok.blog/2020/04/23/never-underestimate-the-furry-fandom/) and it made me realise just how fucking deep I was in my anti-furry Mariana trench.
|
||||
|
||||
- why _of course_ furries are not harmful you dumbass!
|
||||
what even made you think that?
|
||||
|
||||
- maybe it's time to swim out of there before the pressure crushes you?
|
||||
|
||||
- soon enough I thought, "[_hehehehe \*mydli\* \*mydli\*_][pic:01JCE80BJC51R6706Z1GD7VNA2] let's have some fun with my online identity!"
|
||||
|
||||
I started this website.
|
||||
|
||||
- at first I didn't mention anything about being a furry.
|
||||
I started using Ralsei as my online avatar and persona, because he's a pretty aesthetically pleasing character.
|
||||
not wanting to steal other people's art, I also started drawing around that time.
|
||||
|
||||
- a few months later, I slowly started [crawling out of my shell and hittin' truth](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxfN-dFyzEQ){.secret}.
|
||||
I added a little branch to the treehouse _mildly suggesting_ I was a furry to people who were curious enough to click around, and finally, over a year later, in September this year [I came out with a fursona][branch:01JCE80BJC51R6706Z1GD7VNA2].
|
||||
|
||||
- as of writing this I'm still not displaying it very proudly on my website (my drawing skills are a constant work in progress!) but having it as my profile pic everywhere puts me at ease. ---w---
|
||||
|
||||
- I feel a lot more comfortable saying this now:
|
||||
|
||||
+ ## I am a furry, and I'm proud of it!

that one word tells you so much more about my nature than "I build things."

+ by the way here's a funny: <https://godly.website/>
|

have fun browsing bad UX design xoxo

% id = "01JBAK3T1Z8K7DZJZY3S0CJGWH"
|

- explore the [directory](https://godly.website/directory)---a list of categories, each of which is a link that takes up the entire width of the screen,
|
||||
so you never have any space to autoscroll with your middle mouse button
|
||||
|
||||
% id = "01JBAK3T1Z506G168Q7GPW78QS"
|
||||
- the fact the categories include boring garbage such as: "Agency", "E-commerce", "Startup", "Development", "Mobile App", "Finance", "SaaS",
|
||||
and of course the badges on the front page start with "AI" and "Web3" tells you a lot about the creators.

- at some point I realized browsing memes adds nothing to my life, and I just stopped doing it.
|

obviously something had to take their place in killing time, and that became... reading [Lobste.rs](https://lobste.rs).
|
||||
I think that's a net positive since you can genuinely learn a lot from people's writing about computing, but getting time for that required abandoning memes.

- I just caught myself writing a few paragraphs long comment on [Lobsters](https://lobste.rs) without really understanding what the author of the comment meant in the broader context of the discussion,
|
||||
after which I deleted my comment and gave myself a pat on the back for avoiding accidentally derailing the discussion.

% id = "01HREVZNAHRC9BJZJPH9RE21PE"
|
||||
- this is an unfortunate side effect of the tree-based structure of Lobsters.
|
||||
as much as I like tree-based forums, as they let you focus on many different (off-)topics without cluttering the main thread,
|
||||
it's damn near impossible to keep the broader context of _what the discussion is about_ when the thread nests more than 3 levels deep.
|
||||
|

% id = "01HREVZNAH96KPDQAW1YW1FGC5"
|
||||
- therefore, if you ever find yourself writing an essay about just how wrong someone is, think to yourself: am I _really_ understanding what's going on in this discussion?
|
||||
and if not - maybe just shut up and let the rest of the idiots fan the flames instead.
