My sister says that furry artists are scammers. They claim that no professional artists accepts payment outside of cash and credit card.
My sister's boyfriend gave an example, a close friend of his from college who is a professional artist, who sells art at a minimum of $130 a piece for a drawing and photo, and $2000 for good paintings and photos.
Apparently, not receiving a physical copy of the art is another reason they claim the entire furry fandom is scam artists.
My sister is telling my mom to 'help me' not be taken advantage of by the furry fandom.
They want to be very strict in preventing me from ever commissioning anyone via debit cards and gift cards ever again.
They will fail.
The furry fandom is a major source of happiness for me and I will never allow them to take away my happiness.
Other things my family believes:
The church told us the furry fandom is an evil pagan beast cult.
The mental hospital told us the furry fandom is sexual deviants dedicated to drugs and alcohol.
CSI told us the furry fandom is filled with criminals.
Fox News told us the furry fandom is filled with sex fetishists.
Fuck what my family was told, they are taught lies and shit.
Well, in the USA, many things are taught about the furry fandom.
From the furry fandom being called bad things from churches, news stations, the famous CSI tv series that has been going on for decades, etc, and my family like most people, have a hard time finding all of it lies. They think everything said has some degree of truth to it.
Well, that's what I live with.
And my sister's boyfriend has added his own two-cents, making things worse.
But this stuff will never destroy my pride as a furry, or separate me from the furry fandom.
