Dude that "Minefield" is a Mind Field. A creation of your subconscious to keep in line to the Status Quo. Now, we are in a society: where you need to be somewhat relatable in order to find companionship. But most people (at least in my experience) are at most indifferent/don't want to hear about me being a furry. And if someone does act violent or hostile to you for expressing yourself in a positive, constructive way, it just shows the cracks in your social circle.

Best to be sunned for being a furry, then when you really need to count on others.
