~Jabilo
Hi folks. Jabilo's player here. I'm a writer, roleplayer, aspiring artist. I am not a "personal fur." I am a fully grown and developed human male who, like many of you, enjoys gallivanting around in a fantasy persona within the sanctity of his own home. I do not "yiff," though I've been known to engage in good ole fashioned cybersex. I am the same Jabilo as the one on F-list.
I used to at least put up a pretense that I did and practiced art, but after many years of practice and getting absolutely nowhere, with no improvement whatsoever, I finally gave up and accepted my limits. Instead, I dabble in writing. In the creative world, writing is to art what art is to medical school, so as far as I'm concerned it's just a hobby and a heat sink for creative energy.
Sometimes, I like peoples art enough that I would LIKE to favorite more than one or two pieces, but I don't want to wind up like those people that just favorite everything in somebody's gallery. Instead, I may just watch you. Faving everything in somebody's gallery could come off as creepy.
Similarly, while I love commenting on peoples art, I don't like commenting on every piece or all the time. Sometimes, I'll skimp on commenting on a journal or upload or two by choice, simply to limit perception of brown nosing, stalking or insistence.
I'll also UNwatch, if asked.
If you thank me for the watch and I don't reply, it's not because I'm trying to be rude. It's sort of a thorny issue for some. I don't mind being thanked for watching you, but I may not always say you're welcome. No offense is intended by this!
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE GALLERY WILL CONTAIN HORRIBLE FETISH MATERIAL! Sometimes sexual, sometimes just situational and subjective fetish stuff! You've been warned.

Coming out as 'furry' is stupid.
4 months ago
Yeah, inflammatory personal opinion, but, like, this is just a fandom. If you "came out" as a Disney Fan and started cosplaying as Robin Hood the Fox, not just at conventions but walking around every day like that to work, school and social events, that'd be stupid. Outside of a costume party or something, I mean. Or Halloween. Stupid as cosplaying as Alan Rickman outside of being some sort of Snape Impersonator as a job or something.
It's not a religion, it's just a sentiment. It's a nice warm fuzzy corner of interests in fiction and fantasy that involves a heaping helping of liberal sexuality and aesthetic. It's.. it's really just not something to walk around in and advertise, like wearing a fursuit/mascot costume casually. That's just needlessly weird.
Coming out as a furry would be like coming out as a, "Snapewife." Just.... why would you share this? There is no justifiable reason to include other people in your particular interest, outside wanting them to enter that bubble you're in and validate you about it, and force their participation in that via validation. And over something as meaningless as a private pleasure. Not even something like a sexuality. Furry is entirely unnecessary for life, and unless you're also in the little fandom club, there's no reason to even encounter it in your families, immediate or extended.
All being a furry is, is effectively just a statement you roleplay on the internet or like fictional funny cartoon animal people. It shouldn't be your personality or a religion, and it shouldn't be a society. It's a hobby and an interest. That's it. It's where you go to write cheesy fanfiction about your favorite corporate products and the appropriate place to post that.
Your immediate or extended fam no more need to know this about you, than they need to know your videogame subcultures. If it's your career, that's one thing. "I pull in 40K+ a year drawing smut art or niche special club art," is something else.
Grandpa and Grandma/Memaw and Pepaw don't need to know you dress up as a funny woodland creature and dry hump another pal at a convention. Or casually drop "yiffy" or "everypony" into every other sentence. Just.. stop it. They don't need to know your Fursona to look that stuff up online and trace you back to find your smut accounts.
