You are NOT a Fox!

Description

Feeling depressed tonight, so I need to vent some emotion into a drawing. 

Had someone tell me this a while back, reprimanding me for being a furry, and telling me that I "am not a fox." I "am a human being with certain responsibilities." Yes. I do understand that, and I never once thought I was an actual fox. It's something fun for online, and part of a culture I identify with. I'm well aware I'm a human. This person found out I was a furry, googled it, then thought I was part of something bad and awful.

To be honest, I still haven't forgiven this person to this day. And that's not right of me. It's extra baggage that I carry around. But it is really difficult for me to let go of something that I feel impacted me in such a negative way. I haven't figured out how to let go yet, and part of me doesn't want to let go. I admit it. It's easy to be angry and bitter. Very easy. But it's something I would like to do. To let go.

Maybe someday I'll tell the whole story, or maybe not. But, I don't want this to be too negative. I love happy emotions and I love making people happy, not sad.

Let's talk about the drawing!

I could have made the yellow more spiky, and I should have to signify yelling! But, it is what it is. The red is for anger and shouting, while the black is for depression and sadness. 
Also! My hair isn't pink! This was actually due to me forgetting to color it pink at first, and as I was about to go back and fix that, I decided not to. This picture represents myself in the past, before I made certain changes to my fox and my appearance and such, so I decided to leave it the color of my fur, just the way it was back then.

(Also, I need to note. This is older vent art. I'm not feeling upset, atm. But I still enjoy the nature of this drawing).

*Sigh* I hate it when people think that Furries think they are animals, we know we aren't animals (for the most part) It's just a hobby! would you think that someone thinks they're a wizard just because their D&D character is one? (If the answer is yes, seriously?)
