    Hey! I don’t fit into this mold! I’m the guy from the Midwest who left the Midwest, went to Hollywood, had some decent success but not enough to justify staying in such an expensive part of the country (with a baby), moved back to the Midwest, did a bunch of shit jobs that used the skills I learned when in L.A. and now can’t work.

    So… um… yay me?

        Are you calling me a Juggalo, sir, madam or nonbinary person? Because I have dueled with pistols over less!

          It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be a juggalo, though. I’d say they’re pretty similar to furries. Though, that’s a guess since I’m not part of either group.

            I would hang out with a random juggalo over a random furry. There is a higher chance that the furry enjoys abusing animals, while juggalos typically only abuse their own brain cells.

                I am aware that not all furries are animal abusers. An uncomfortable amount of them are, unfortunately. Some of the most prominent furry ‘celebrities’ have been outed as zoophiles and predators, and they still have had a fanbase and are allowed to attend cons afterwards.

                That being said, I am just making a dark joke. One of my good friends is a furry who calls out and protests zoophiles in the furrydom. Most furries are pretty wholesome. I just don’t think we should hide the fact that a part of that community were drawn to it because they are sexually attracted to animals.

            I was mostly being facetious. I’m sure most of them are perfectly nice people like in most groups.

            I have certainly met my share of friendly furries.

          If you don’t feel like you fit into any of those four above categories, you’re gonna have to take your own picture of the aimless mayhem you’ve made of your life you described up there and make a fifth category.

            Without giving too much away, for a couple of examples, I did some VO work for Hanna-Barbera soon before Warner Bros. shut them down and (this will really show my age) a PS2 game.

              Well as an avowed fan of every voice actor ever, thanks for your work, and now I will forever be speculating on the pitch and timbre you might have delivered.

                Why thank you. I’d tell you more, but I give way too much information about myself around here as it is. Someone could pretty easily figure out who I am. I probably shouldn’t make it easier on them.
