If your looking for a TLDR, there is none. You're just going to have to read it.

Hi. I'm having issues with my parents and me being pansexual. I'm 15, male, and living in Southern Kentucky. Here's my story. In March, I decided to come out of the closet in an odd way. I used the game Team Fortress 2 to tell my friends. Overall, my friends supported me. I posted it to /r/tf2, where it got some attention. /r/tf2 was accepting, even though some didn't understand what Pansexual meant. I was PMed by Nathan Grayson, an editor of Kotaku. He wanted to interview me for an article about using tf2 to come out. The article published.

Flash forward to Thursday Night. I ask my dad (who doesn't know I'm pan, like my mother) if I can borrow the iPad. He says yes, and I unlock it, showing Safari... With the article open. Oh shit. I open up the browsing history, and I'm shocked. He was on the website furAffinity.net, which is a image sharer for the Furry Fandom. Now, I don't consider myself a large member of the fandom, however, my dad did some 'research', and... well... he found the dark side. The side that keeps the fandom bathed in controversy. The side that keeps me from being more involved in the fandom. The side i don't go to. It's almost midnight right now where I'm at. My parents haven't said anything about it. I'm freaking out. What if they kick me out? What if they think I'm some pervert? What if they think I am a bestialphilliac because of the fandom? I need help.

Oh, and dad, if your somehow reading this, talk to me.

EDIT: it's late, so if I don't reply, don't be alarmed, I fell asleep.

Should we have content warnings on our books? Advisory labels about topics covered between the covers? As a writer, should you feel the need to censor your work in fear of turning away readers?
