![Furries InkblitzoON MFF @Inkblitzer I think that the people spreading hate on #furryandproud should consider re-evaluating their hobbies. Furries are out here supporting each other, lifting each other up and showing the world that there's more to life than hate. We're growing and bringing color to dull days. dhve 8:58 PM Nov 21, 2019 Twitter Web App](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/648/170/480.jpg)

Some, however, were not as enthusiastic about the campaign. User @PartyPrat posted screenshots from a person who spread some negative rumors about ArtWorkTee, saying they had done some negative things in the past (shown below, left). They also posted an interaction where ArtWorkTee denied that the proceeds would go to charity, which caused a Twitter user to accuse him of lying in the campaign (shown below, right).

Twitter[3] user @Kirus refuted the claims. They wrote "Here is some proof that they paid an artist a further $300 after they felt like they weren't paid enough, I should mention that censoring the Twitter Handles and Names is done as I have no way of knowing whether they want to remain anonymous or be open."
