I'm not going to post this kind of thing often, but...
Pro tip :
It's generally seen as horribly insensitive and trashy by polite society to name drop a recently deceased person to win points in a petty internet argument.
I've been in the fandom since the late 80s and I like to believe I've kept up with most of the talented folks here.
But this is the first I've heard of this person. She seems to have a narcissistic attitude about a lot of things. I even listened to some of her music, and frankly I'm not a fan.
Just a reminder that a follow does not imply agreement on every, or even any, issue
And if any of my followers disagree with me on this, I shall enjoy polite and intelligent discourse about it
I flat out don't understand this viewpoint. I've been into furry since 1999 and I was introduced to a furry music playlist the other day, and when I realised the lyrical content had nothing to do with furries I just... accepted this and presumed the artists are furries and enjoyed the music.
I wanted to make the typical quip about how trashy Cassidy is, but I’m just gonna point out anybody that needs to drop names to get attention is, clearly, not worth the attention. All this clout chasing is giving the younguns a bad idea bout how to live.
is this person trying to argue that "furry music" is music with furry things in it (samples from furry media i guess? i dunno) not simply music made by furries? because if so that's pretty stupid, on top of the grossness of what you've pointed out
That's a sucky opinion and a dick move. It feels like trying to gatekeep people for not having a sona or a suit. As far as I'm concerned, the only two conditions to be a furry are wanting to be one and accepting the furry community.
And there they stand, by their rusting, vine-choked gate, screaming about how they are the judge and jury of what is and isn't. Getting more furious as people simply walk around them and their gate, and don't seem to pay them any mind.
They can keep the gate all they want, there aren't any walls.
"This person who has passed away and thus cannot contradict me would definitely agree with all my opinions and would totally think you suck. For shame!"
Fuck that noise. Using a person's name like a ghoulish marionette to score points in an argument is disgusting.
