Virtue Signalers and the Cancel Culture Idiocy | Ode to Felix Velvet

Well, it finally happened.

The virtue signaling "animal-right's activists" made it onto my page. Two cow hearts, five cow kidneys, chicken livers, and some stomach later...the octopus was the one that officially broke the proverbial straw. Sigh, ya know, I truly am ashamed that Americans nowadays would rather jump in their feelings so fast than break down a situation by logic.

Still, that sentence within itself SHOULD not even be an issue. As you all know, I respect everyone and care not for what someone believes, practices or does, but I would like to think that I've created a community in which everyone can enjoy art and depravity without moral warriors galloping in on their soapbox. Fear not, it will not deter me from doing what I love. I suppose I found the irony quite hilarious, considering all throughout my page is a plethora of carcasses, blood, and insects. Meh, what do I know...

In all seriousness, though, if you all are familiar with the dark artist, Felix Velvet, then you know he's taken a brief sabbatical from art. I don't know the full details, but Felix came under fire from just about everyone that claims they were a good, loving Christian, or anyone that claimed to have a higher-sense of self...though I'm still trying to figure that one out. He received death threats, criticisms, and even had people attacking his loved ones. It's disgusting. And when you think about it...who is really the dark one? I love Felix's work, and in a lot of ways, he influenced a great deal of what I've done, and inspired a whole niche altogether.

When I hear these pussies (yes, they are pussies) accusing dark artists of performing the devil's work and engaging in cruel behavior (yes, because I literally rented a trolley, fished the Atlantic, and killed that octopus in my tub...FML), it's strange. How is such behavior on their part much different than what they are accusing us of? I think it's so sad that people like Felix have to hide from the world because people are threatening his life. These disgusting beings that chastise the bizarre are no different than us, and frankly, I've yet to hear any dark artist I support say that someone deserved death or was awful because of what they've done. Nobody is perfect, and believe me when I tell you that I don't pretend to be; however, I don't think it's fair that these people are allowed to frolic about like the pansies they are, claiming their morality is the correct way of living. Whether you're a vegan, carnivore, or something in between--the world of art is not something that one's diet should ever be inserted. Literally, it makes zero fucking sense to me.

Ah, my friends, 'tis a strange world we live in, but it's the support of people like you all that keep those fires burning and not fading into the dark. As for Felix, I sincerely wish that he had the support that I have. What I mean by that is, you all have been there for me and been more of a family that my own. (Besides mom and sister) I don't know if Felix is getting the love he deserves, but as you all can ascertain, it's a risky and fucked up road pursuing dark art. With all the things transpiring in the world--with the talk of equality, fairness, and acceptance...what about us?

What about the people that are bizarre, eerie, unique, and estranged from the light? Do we not deserve love?

I think we do, and I guess, I'll always fight for those who are not accepted in this cruel world. The meek may inherit the earth, but the strange will bless the stars, and I'd rather be a star.

I love you guys. Don't ever let some fucking Karen tell you that you're wrong. Besides, at least you don't drive a minivan. ❤️
