Press space key to go next. For mobile peeps, I'll add the story here as well. Hi! As you can clearly see, I came active again after a period of 3-6 months. The reason I went offline? Well, bullying. So I gave a basic description on my profile, but I'll explain it here. There were these kids at my new school. I met a lot of non-judgemental kids as well, so don't go targeting them (oop, I guess you don't know them, but whatever). They saw my Toxic color in entry and looked at me like I was an alien. Which, I guess I was. This one girl, let's call her Natasha; she looked me up and down and asked me: "Are you a furry?" My face turned red and I shut my laptop and said, "Ofc not." Because really, I'm not. And she goes "But you're drawing animals. And cats. Or whatever GARBAGE that is." And me, being kinda angry, goes. "That doesn't make me a furry, ya know." So they say "Sure, yeah. We know you're a furry, just like those therian kids. And I get more mad, because ya know? They don't really have a right. The bell rings, and 'Natasha' leaves me alone. I put my computer away and leave for class. When I open my laptop in class, "Natasha" is assigned next to me. So the drawing is on my screen, and she goes. "Ew. That's the furry drawing!" So ofc, I delete it as fast as possible, but no one really hears her. And I go on with my day. Just as it can't get worse, "Natasha" walks up AGAIN and asks, "are you a furry?" I frikin lose it. I go, "No, I'm not a furry, you d@mmy (sorry for language, scratch, please don't take my post down T-T), and i won't be. I'M JUST DRAWING ANIMALS, FOR PETES SAKE!!!!" And she goes, "Jeeeez. Don't be so sensitive." I walk away, miffed and tired. Like geez. Learn the difference. Then I log onto scratch and type in, "I'm inactive now. Thanks for supporting me." I become semi-active for a bit, then back to inactive. THANKS FOR MAKING IT DOWN HERE!!!! And reading my story and why I went inactive. Now you know the details. SHOUTOUT TO @wolf15243 AGAIN FOR BEING A SUPPORTIVE BESTIE!!! :) I don't know really what to do in that situation. It's happened before... but it wasn't this bad. Please no mean comments, or I'll report them. Alr, thanks. And I have a final message. Everyone who reads this, please try to understand. PEOPLE WHO DRAW ANIMALS ARE NOT FURRIES OR THERIANS AUTOMATICALLY!!!! Like actually. I get enough stereotypes at school for being Asian, and WE DONT NEED MORE! NEITHER FOR ANY OTHER RACE OR RELIGION. The only way we can stop this is if we spread the word. I'm not asking or demanding anything. I'm requesting if you call people furries, please stop. Don't. Yes, some Scratchers may be furries, but we're not. I'm begging you. Thanks, ~Mimi :)
