Also I'm sorry that your friends betrayed you.

I can't force you to care. But lemme just end on saying that we are in this crappy never-ending shit loop because everyone thinks like you. Someone's gotta break this loop. I don't think I can, but I'll be damned if this isn't my best attempt. Do better.

I saw it today so eh Heh. I'm trying to help people when I'm just as broken as they are. But it still worked. I do have a few clear Ws. My guy, being there is all that counts. You don't need to be perfect. Just be there for your friends and those that you wanna help.

I know that from both my own past and from working with like 10 people that are well... of that sort. People can change.

Would you say making sure animals are safe and people don't wanna hurt them is part of your daily responsibility as a furry. I think it is my responsibility. Even if it means I have to basically do unpaid emotional counseling. People only change when their emotions change. 1/2

I personally reached out because he is who he is. But right now he's more emotionally closed off than a kitty that has been kicked 20 times by the previous owner. The fandom's outrage is understandable, but people need to think a bit before they post.

Yeah. But he is he and you are you. Agreed. Rebranding will never work. But, would it have hurt to reach out and ask him how he's doing and if he wants to talk about his problems? No one ever does that.

if you are completely right. It's a hard message to convey. At any rate, we are here in this situation because both parties failed to communicate. I'm sure everyone had their reasons, including the people who were raging about the leaks. Who wouldn't...

I'm sure at the time his lawyer told him "ignore it, don't acknowledge anything". I think legally speaking an apology would be doable _now_ but the fandom has shit on him for half a decade. Might make one less eager to say sorry. People react badly when you tell them they're bad people. Even 1/2

You think he can heal if everyone writes him off as a "red flag", not to mention the typical twitter abuse (walls of "kys" and all of that nonsense). That's why I said it's gotta be a mutual compromise.
