Sob stories to sell fursuits... aka, Silver's moral quandry.
http://community.livejournal.com/fursuitauctions/1152172.html
Ok, I have to ask, Is it completely heartless of me to consider stuff like this in extremely bad taste? I know that this is quite horrible, but auctions for fursuits that include a story like this are becoming increasingly common, and I am just misanthropic enough to question whether or not this actually happened or if this person just shamelessly used the slimiest advertising pitch known to humanity...Even if it is genuine, I still think it's kinda shady. It's not that I mistrust furries, but people who throw out an atom bomb like this to strangers completely off the cuff? It just leaves my whiskers twitching.
So I ask you... are my thoughts justified or is this just callous misanthropy talking?
