Gays. Black people. Non Christians. Your exact statement has been said about all of them.
Furries don't think they're non human hon.
Furrys don't claim they're actually animals.
So, sometimes I pretend to be a wizard and roll some dice about it. If one of my players showed up in armor it’d be badass. It’s a hobby. Few things are more cringe than furry hate.
No because they should bathe and take their body pillow to a group around that. Idgaf what kind of hat they wear though.
That’s the thing here, furry events are the time and place for furry stuff. It’s like how people dress weird and hit each other in dungeons and wrestling rings. People dress weird and say strange things in religious buildings. People dress weird, talk weird, pretend to be someone they aren’t, and often stink at Renaissance festivals. Times and places. I’m not gonna judge their hobby just like I won’t judge the SCA
Yeah that’s how I’ve always seen it. But it is a hobby they use as a stand in for queer people a lot. They love to say anti furry things and then use it as a justification before also doing transphobia. They’ve been correlating the two for at least a decade. And there’s also homophobia present in a lot of anti furry sentiment.
Bullshit. That's the same shit used against drag queens and crossdressers. People who were instrumental to lgbtq history. I'd have thought someone "not straight" would've known better.
I'd suggest you read the g/acc manifesto. Some people do believe they're animals and should be encouraged to express their kinship with them. Queering society as such is something you should be all for if you're "not straight". I say this as a trans woman who's been around the community for a decade- identity is fucking complicated. Reductive logic like this is NOT applicable and actively harmful, even. therian/xenogender people, you're fucking awesome and I love you all.
The "movement" has historically BEEN A PART OF EVERY RANDOM ALT THING and is growing to do exactly that! Acceptance is important. But I bet you get real butthurt when you see somebody dressed up like a cartoon animal at pride, huh?
I believe the "help" in the best of countries is lacking because of ignorance and stigma and the best people fitting that description are the other half of that problem. But also let people be animals or fairies or cryptids or what have you, the world is bleak enough and we're all unhinged in our own ways. Like honestly it's this, acceptance and tolerance pushed to new extremes (something I think we socially as humans totally underdo) OR depressing military cyborgs + authoritarianism in the cards if not a more mundane climate crisis and/or world resource war...maybe even all of the above? Anyways -thanks for considering my thoughts and I really, really do recommend this as a good read regarding the actual definitions of gender and sexuality and why nuance and inclusivity in regards to this topic is so important: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/vikky-storm-the-gender-accelerationist-manifesto
...... Hey, how bad are your delusions that you think chocolate is people?
TIL religion is an immutable personal characteristic
True, but it's obviously different from race, sex, etc. It's closer to nationality, because it affects your upbringing but can change over time.
