[@malikharrell2488]

I feel you. I've always checked her out on Instagram. Even followed her. As an artist myself and a lover of furry art, I loved seeing the many artworks that she posted on there along with her cute fursuit pics. Then all of this happened. Like this caught me by surprise. I didn't know her all that well, but from what I've seen publicly, she seemed like a caring sweet woman with a love for art and fursuit design. At least thats what it looked like on the outside anyway... Who knew she would be guilty of doing such sick things. Its the kind of behavior that gives us furries such a bad rep. Its so sad to see cause I liked her at one point. Now I'm just disappointed and I hope she gets help. I'm glad her former friends came together to put it out there warning other furs that she's doing these horrible things and needs to be stopped. Its just one of those situations where you also have to stop and ask yourself "Why did it take them so long to bring all of this to light?" I mean I guess they had to gather the evidence and stuff, but have they just been allowing her to do this all this time if they were aware of it? Cause from some of the evidence I've seen, some of it dates back almost a decade ago.

[@TheFoxFromSplashMountain]

Being in this fandom has taught me a very important lesson. Don't. Trust. Anyone. It seems almost every day, one of my favourite furs are being outed as disgusting creeps. It's the reason I'm not very active in the fandom anymore, it's just disturbing to think how many of these people are hiding right under our noses.

[@RosheenQuynh]

Not trusting anyone isn't good. Everyone needs a support circle to get through hard times. If you don't be vulnerable with anyone, the isolation will kill you. We're social creatures. Putting up walls just... isn't a good idea. Edit: Also, oneself isn't wholly trustworthy, we are our own worst enemy most times; that's why true friends are there, to show you love when you can't do so yourself.

[@FruitBatsLyra]

@@FruitBatsLyra As someone who was betrayed by someone I wasn't expecting to be betrayed by, I wholeheartedly agree with what you said. I think the important thing to do is to trust cautiously. Until there's definitive proof a person will be a forever friend, you cannot trust completely. My forever friends gave me proof so I definitely trust them completely with my life.

People should get the information about her out there and after it's wide spread... ignore her, forget she was ever part of the fandom, if financially possible people stop wearing her fursuits, remove photos of her from a Furry social medias, just make it like she was never here that's the best way to do it and it works.

I'm sorry, but if all the allegations being made against DHC are true, they do in fact need to be "run out of the fandom" as it was put. They should not be allowed to participate in any kind of community, period. Online or otherwise. And it should be made illegal for them to own, foster, look after, or work with any kind of animals for the rest of their life. And they need to face criminal charges for what they have done in regards to sexual assault, activity with minors, and animal abuse and neglect. These are not the kind of things we should grant any kind of understanding, lenience, or second chances towards. Once law enforcement is brought in, if they say DHC should be granted a second chance in certain areas after x amount of time in therapy or with some kind of restraining order or whatever, THEN we can talk about understanding and a gentler approach.

Biiiiig yikes for all this. I don't mind art being done, but doing stuff irl and hurting rl animals? Fuck that noise. Also, much like his pawprint statement, don't assume everyone that rps and/or has artwork of such things is a zoophile irl. Art and rp is fictional and should stay as such.

[@local_anxiety_rat1276]

Exactly! Its important to remember things like yiff are still characters that can consent and make rational decisions while real animals can not!

@@local_anxiety_rat1276 Exactly! My fursona in feral form is still sentient and can consent. RL animals cannot and to do that to them is legit abuse.

@@claramiqo7691 SEE this is what I’m talking about feral characters and people who make them get backlash because it’s a “loophole” in reality feral characters have human intellect who can consent

This makes me so disgusted and sad, I’ve left the fandom multiple times because a lot of people seem to be bad in the fandom…but I love drawing ocs so it really sucks to even be in the same fandom as people like these

[@lawsavior5042]

these are still allegations. the "evidence " being posted on twitter was just a google doc of he said/she said

[@wolfe8035]

You've basically made a video about how a highly valued fursuit maker/company turns out to be an outright narcissist.

[@tubbyqueen]

I don’t think I want a fur suit from them any more.. not if it’s been touched by anyone like that

[@misha_B_Barkin]

Really glad to see someone made a video about this!! I was debating on talking about this on my own channel, but you covered all the bases and then some! Awesome video!

[@woofnuggiez]

Why does it seem like every furry I ever kind of liked turns out to be an actual dog f*cker and p3do. It makes me worry about being somewhat in the fandom, is every furry secretly like this? Or does it just end up happening from being too involved in it? I don't know. I have no idea if I should defend the fandom anymore, tbh. I love the cuteness and fun of it, but I can't associate myself with these kinds of people. :(

[@advertisedmanpower7155]

now ima start claiming people with paw tattoos as zoophiles as a joke to myself

[@HughJanusDaHorseshoeCrab]

you know what, just for this, I'm going to hug a cactus

[@Zamerus]

While it's admirable for them to say not to run this person out of the fandom. Baseline zoofiles don't have a place here, and in my personal opinion *should* be ejected because what they're doing or have done is awful

[@undeaddoeinc.407]

I'd just like to mention that Syber (MadeFurYou) hasn't said a word about her best friend Lucky Coyote in this. But did say something about Wild-Life fursuits defending them at first then retracting saying she doesn't support that shit. Sooo.... where's her post on Lucky? Her best friend. The person she visited a lot, invited to her wedding, got suit from AND upgraded? I think Syber has been really quiet about this and that should be brought to light as well.

[@wiibrockster]

It's a shame really. I actually really liked their fursuits...

[@gemtail3125]

She just sounds like either a total sociopath or a narcissist.... Sounds like this one needs therapy AND jail time. I'm really glad I did not follow through with buying a fursuit from them.

[@sassyhusky3168]

This is really unfortunate, their suits are very HQ and are well know in the community but damn I hope she gets some sense on the type of image she's portraying for herself AND the fandom and changes for the better

[@Sniwott]

Nearly 11k subs 👀

[@SpitfireTheWolf]

Really sad to see that not only were they one of the most popular fursuit makers but that it took them months to finally get a response only to have Blonde to deny everything and read everything from a script rather than saying words that should have come out of her mouth genuinely. It's really sad, but I have no sympathy for people who do this type of behavior

[@JinxNightcore]

I can't understand how people can do things like this it's absolutely disgusting and sad

As of june 2024, DHC's twitter page is all but dead, their facebook page is dead, and their FA account is dead as well, safe to say I think they figured out they arn't welcome here.

[@soysaucekitty]

.-. Since 2009 I wanted a suit from DHC.. rip.

[@caitlinsnowfrost8244]

Yikes, I really used to love DHC's fursuits- I found them super cute and expressive and nice. I really wish this fandom didn't have so many problematic people. Also, on a more positive note (because we need some of that), your 'sona is really cute!

[@Heizena]

I literally, just, what? How am I supposed to react to this?

[@DimensionalDynamo]

This is why I’m having a insanely hard time about deciding who I should commission for my suit (I am planning on getting one) to be honest I’ll probably just over research EVERYTHING.

[@Littlemeast12Animations]

I recommend either “Skyehigh studios” or “Neffertity”! They are both very good fursuit makers.

[@kittysoftpaws3677]

I normally ask I Trans person if they're ok with me referring to them by their original name if im used to calling them that but if they explicitly ask me not to I'll try not to
