Ok, over the past few months I have taken notice to how much furries don't like how they are portrayed in the media. Whether it be Mtv or CSI, overall we are portrayed negatively. I have noticed that when anyone ever tries to do a show on furries, they always pick the sexually demented ones. you know, the ones that make it in a fursuit or something like that. they pretty much make it appear as if we are the bad guys.
It's just another form of prejudice, people hating what is different. But I wonder, have any of you tried sending a message to Mtv asking them to appologize for what they had done. I ask this because I feel like need to, but i also feel it is too late seeing how the show aired last year.
So, what have any of you done to help out in the fight against this new form of malice? Have you discussed your views with anyone or have you just pretty much kept to yourself hoping the whole thing will blow over?
As for me, I see myself as a kind of coward. I haven't really done anything to discuss my furriness, but it's only because I despise conflict. It's just one of the many reasons I am a skunk; I hate fighting, I'd just rather let the whole thing blow over or out of proportion, whichever seems to come first.
