Felice Fawn

On Encyclopedia dramatica occasionally when they say something really shocking they'll say "offended?" and if you click on that it takes you to a page full of disgusting photos and videos (i.e gore, gross porn, animal cruelty, etc). I didn't link it just posted a warning because it is gross and wouldnt want anyone to accidentally find it.

eeew. ok, don't need that definitely. i followed the "furry" link bc i didn't know what that is and saw something really disgusting. enough for today ;)
 
I really don't want to search "furries sex" so can someone just tell me what it is? I have a morbid curiosity but after clicking the "offended" link on ED I'm too scared to search for anything again!!

Furries are people who are fans of anthropomorphic animals (think Disney's Robin Hood). Some of them just like the aesthetic or idea of part animal, part human creatures, but there are some that find it sexually attractive, and thus make porn of it. Usually it's drawn porn but occasionally you'll find pictures of people in animal suits fucking or, like on the furries page on ED, a guy having sex with a plush toy raccoon.

To tie this back to Felice Fawn apparently she used to draw crappy furry art.
 
At first, I feel you and I'm proud and glad that you are so strong to fight battles like that. I know how it feels.
But like the others said, it's not about having scars and just be open about it. But what she does is triggering people, showing off her scars like "OMG I'm so sick, look at me" and glamourizing it.

Of course you can show your scars, I BEG you to show your scars and don't let it make you feel ashamed or something like that. But that what she does, showing off her selfharm and eating disorder like some kind of nice accessory, is just unacceptable and terrible.

Much love to you, dear!
I know that some people are judgmental about other people's SI scars, and that in and of itself really bothers me. I think most people have experienced some sort of self-hatred at some point, and along with it the impulse to self-harm, and so most people understand how and why those scars exist. So most people aren't judgmental. But the few that are are should stop judging others and thank their lucky stars that they've been given a life in which they haven't yet felt the need to hurt themselves because their life sucked that bad.

It sucks to have scars, of course, because they're like a tattoo you don't like and can't hide. And because those scars tell the world about a private struggle that you'd rather not make public. But there is nothing morally wrong with you for cutting yourself, and you are not crazy or weird or sick. Self-harm is a completely natural impulse for people who are suffering and experiencing a lot of self-hatred. It's not healthy, but neither are most of the coping responses that people have to emotional suffering.

I know this is not related to Felice Fawn, but I just wanted to say that to you and other people who have SI scars and feel ashamed of them.
 
Sorry, meant this ^^ in response to @aurore and @jbeyes!

thanks for the response, it's a process I think. And its true, I've got a friend that whenever she's feeling like shit and can't cope with her life she drinks. She's not an alcoholic(yet), but that's the way she deals with her problems, but society has a different look on alcohol, and if you are a 23 year old, it can pass as "I'm really just having fun!" when you are actually intentionally hurting yourself too.

Ooops, sorry, I probably should've mentioned that this is a very offensive website and almost every link will invovle horrific porn.

And if you are by any chance into that stuff, You're Welcome.

:lol:

The worst page on there other than offended is the one about indigenous australians - it was so bad i think the government tried to get it banned from coming up at all for australians.
 
@vlada
You put the words out of my mouth, exept for the last part: self-harming is seen as a sign of weekness. It shows that you can't bear the world. Of course, nobody can blame you for it, but you will be judge. It is like this around me.

Completely off topic, but all you girls talking about showing your scars really inspires me. I have horrible scars on my upper right thigh :)blush:) and I have only ever shown my boyfriend (of 4 years). I hate them because I can't wear bikini bottoms, or even get changed in front of girlfriends.

But maybe I'll have your confidence some day. I really hope so :kiss:

I personally love people's scars (including self-harm ones, as long as the individual is no longer self-harming). I think they tell interesting stories, whether you had a horrible accident falling out of a cherry tree (a guy I know) or whether you've battled some inner demons and conquered them. They make you who you are, and serve as a reminder of what you've been through. This is maybe a stupid contribution since they are so trivial, but I have small appendectomy scars from a laproscopic surgery I had a few years ago, and I love them. Scars add character!
 
Scars add character!

I agree that they definitely add character, but some people can't handle scars...not the ones that are self inflicted. I guess it depends the person, but sometimes its just too hard saying the truth about them because people around me won't be able to handle the fact that I cut myself... And I could be all proud and say "F THEM!" but the truth is that I would be alone in a heartbeat. I would not want to put the bargain of this issue on my siblings, my parents, it would be just too hard for them. But I get what you mean, I also do agree, some scars may actually be sexy, but for me it depends...

I absolutely get where you're coming from. I think whether or not you're comfortable showing your scars is entirely a personal desicion that depends very much on who you're surrounded by, your current situation, your degree of recovery, etc. Especially because mentioning this kind of stuff can make others very uncomfortable or be a source of embarrasment, especially if you come from a family that tends to keep these things on the down-low.

I have a friend with a past of self-harming, and she no longer does it, but she has residual scars. She doesn't flaunt them, but she doesn't attempt to hide them either, and I really respect her for being honest if/when people ask about them. I guess, for me, I'm at a life stage where people can either take me or leave me as I am. I am fine with people disliking things about me, and the people I surround myself with will recieve the honest, truest side of me, since I have no desire to be around those who won't accept this. That said, I am lucky enough/cursed (depending on how you look at it) at come from a very open, honest family. For example, my father is an alcoholic in recovery, and whenever someone offers him a drink, he will say, "No thanks, Im an alcoholic!" With no apology, no trace of shame, just offering it as a fact of life. I'm the same way when it comes to my GAD/OCD - I don't try to hide my anxiety issues or my past history with depression. I used to, but I find it much easier and more freeing to discuss them with people if they become an issue OR if they're pertinent in some other way. Same goes for my fiance, who battles depression - I don't sugar coat this if it's necessary for me to speak about it (but I don't necessarily offer the information freely if it's not relevant). But again, I am lucky enough to have very open relationships with plenty of free discourse with my family, my friends, and even my boss, so it makes it easy. Also, I never, ever was in this place a few years ago - I used to be much more sensitive about these issues, until I realized that very few people are perfectly well adjusted and not dealing with their own shit - so why not connect with others and admit your imperfections, I guess is my philosophy.
 
Well this thread has really become all about self harm lol, so I'll just add my 2c. Disclaimer/confession--I've been a cutter for 5+ years. Here is something that those who are younger/in school may not realize perhaps. Its all very well to talk about if you should show scars in various social situations, to various people in your life, friends, SOs, relatives and so on, but once you're older and attempting some sort of professional life and career, scars are one huge big taboo. And what I mean is, you simply cannot go to an interview in a short sleeved or 3/4 sleeved top if you have zebra stripes up and down your arms, no matter if they are faded (in my case they are blatantly obvious, even though some are 5/6+ years old) and no matter if it is 100+ degrees outside. What I'm trying to say is that in this case its not about showing character, or not being afraid to discuss past issues, or all these other things you girls mentioned, when it comes to an interview, or a job, its simply not accepted. You can flaunt other types of self harm at jobs (which is the irony here since alot of these are actually more harmful than cutting) I've had jobs where everyone would go for drinks and some would blatantly get wasted multiple times a week, so alcoholism is sort of culturally ok. Same goes for prescription drug use/abuse, overeating/binge eating, etc all of this you can display (depending how long you've been at a job and how relaxed the atmosphere is). But cutting? Absolutely not. Thats what I've found anyway at the jobs I've been in. I suppose it does depend too how bad the scarring is, I mean a few cuts here and there perhaps is ok. But like I said, zebra stripes up and down your arms means you will be wearing long sleeves in any weather and at all times of the year if you are in a work/professional setting. Something to think about for the younger girls on here.
 
there's a big "FAT" on my right thigh :cry:

I hope that the scars and this thought will trail away :meh:

Back to Felice, girls?
Self-harming is such a huge subject, I really liked reading your experiences and points of view, althought it wasn't pleasing to know the pain we're suffering/used to suffer from. Nevertheless, it is quite off-topic :eek:
 
(sorry for the double post)
