thinking about how funny it is that nazis, pedophiles and zoophiles are welcomed with open arms in the furry community but i once tried to join a public furry discord and got immediately banned because "someone recognized me and was uncomfortable with me" (no further explanation)
the only time i ever get any sort of recognition is when someone bigger than me cares enough to promote me in some fashion (incl socially) and even then i'm usually not even directly addressed because ew who would want to talk to filthy old me
