for anyone who chose not to read the post:
- artist needed money for college, people from tumblr/dA told them their prices were too expensive and that no one would commission them.
- artist was desperate and logged on to their old Furaffinity account to take commissions
- artist got a shitton of commissions and everyone was supportive and encouraging
- people ended up tipping the artist 10-20$ per commission because they thought the artist was undercharging
tl;dr - furries supported artist and treated them better than the “pro-artist” sides of dA and tumblr.
so when’s cringe culture gonna wake up and realize that this weird baseless hatred of furries is largely rooted in the fact that it’s a community of 95% openly queer & sex-positive folk…
they ain’t never gonna wake up. cringe culture is here to hate, and hating furries is a smokescreen to cover up the fact that this is bigotry bullying the marginalized.
