maktak Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Asking a question prompted by an Instagram story. This person was asked (in German — but provided an English translation) if they have any "no-goes in the fur universe" (wording may not be exact — I didn't save the story before it expired). This person then put the asker on blast on their stories, lambasting them a "time-waster" who isn't a good participant in the community. I am notoriously bad at reading the room, so I'm looking for help reading this situation — what happened here? Why did this person react so strongly to the question? My best guess is that it's some precursor to begging behavior ("so you're okay with all that? you should do x, y, z...").

maktak Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 Let me try again. AliceInFurs1 runs a fur Instagram. Somebody asked her, "are there any no-goes in the fur universe?" This upset her a lot. She posted about it on her stories and called the guy a time-waster. I sincerely don't understand what was wrong with the question. Would somebody please have a go at explaining it?
FullLengthFox Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Maybe she understood it like: "does morality even exist in the fur universe?" , some kind of anti-fur remark. 1

Taking contextual notes from this possible explanation, I can extrapolate that maybe this person in question suggested to a group of fur wearers that they should stop wearing fur and instead promote faux in her stitched video? And everyone else in the community was like, “Oh to hell with that person. That is the ultimate betrayal to suggest something like that to a community like this.” perhaps this is the explanation you are looking for? I have not seen the original video since you did not provide it and I can only guess from the limited amount of inferences given here 1
maktak Posted January 28 Author Posted January 28 The story has already expired and I didn't save it — but this explanation seems plausible. Thank you both!
FoxFurStory_35 Posted January 29 Posted January 29 That’s too bad a simple question lead to that uncomfortable response. Alice is an active member in the Insta fur community and seems positive and nice. Perhaps she misinterpreted the “no go in the fur universe” as wearing fur should be a hard NO. Some people don’t ready carefully. Some misinterpret messages. Tones are lost on texts, comments and messages. Just chalk it up to a miscommunication. Don’t feel discouraged, it happens. Keep on being active in the fur community.
