How to reduce toxicity in the fandom and in general.

Awoo everybody! This is Gold N. Retriver posting about how to reduce toxicity.

  1. Question yourself and others.
  2. Acknowlege the issue upfront(do not hide)!
    If you allow the toxicity to continue by not taking action when something terrible is happening or being represented in a bad way, you are doing worse. Always report. Do not become part of the problem and do not do anything similar of supporting.
  3. Do not be victim
    People will believe you less.
  4. Be kind to the victim.
    Be honest and kind to the victim.

My First True Post

Hello everyone, I am Gold N. Retriver and this is my cuddly blog.

My real life blog is: REDACTED.

My involvement in the fandom

I am a member of the fandom(SFW-only, although I do like SFW vore like the Sea Whelks from SpongeBob, the most vored character is definitely Sheldon J. Plankton. Apparently SpongeBob has a lot of SFW vore, I am just interested in how digestion would feel).

Gender and sexuality

I am (mostly and biologically) male. Sometimes, I identify as vague(it/it). I am autigender and autistic. My defination of autigender is not following some/all gender norms while being autistic. Example: I used to watch every episode of Unikitty. Sure, I did mostly male things, however I do not care about if it is gendered. I just want to get my nails painted Very Peri(PANTONE’s color of the year 2022). I am bi.

Why am I in the fandom?

Anthro is cute sometimes. There is toxicity everywhere. The fandom gets the most blame although there are more toxic things. No, it is not a ### thing(some people in the fandom do use it that way). I wanted to represent how our friends and pets evolve with us and we evolve with them and through a few turns I went into the fandom. I now regularly browse r/furry_irl and other furry subreddits and draw sometimes.

farewell

I hope this was a good introduction. I have no idea when I will make another post.
