So... Seeing everyone's posts means a lot. For the longest time I thought I was the only one who was ostracized from their family when I came out at 18. Living out of my car, overcoming barriers that no 18 year should have to made me feel shattered.
CS kids going to furry conventions thinking they'll just network with a guy with a suit and get a prestigious job at apple and instead they're at the rave surrounded by guys wearing only a puphood and a jockstrap
ALT 2-panel comic:
Panel 1: A large, black-furred lion kneels over a submissive Dalmatian. Assuming the “position”. The lion coos lustfully, “Damn baby—I’m gonna split you like firewood…”
Panel 2: The Dalmatian looks back at the lion over his shoulder, expressing concern for his own well-being. “Oh—please don’t do that. I actually don’t have health insurance.”
