Is that a furry rule?

[-] i_dont_want_to 13 points 1 day ago

A friend of mine said that he wanted to get with a wolf. I asked him (out of genuine curiosity) if it was a furry thing.

Nope, it's gay slang; like bear or otter. I got a chuckle out of him though!

[-] Moose@moose.best 17 points 1 day ago

There are two wolves inside you 🥴

[-] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 105 points 2 days ago

Aaaahh please use punctuation

It would make it infinitely more understandable if you wrote:

Normalize saying "is that a furry thing?" whenever a guy says he is an alpha

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago

You. Couldn't, understand! That.?

[-] Sea_pop@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Nah I had trouble as well. I don't like having to adopt an altered mindset to read something.

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

There should be a comma after "Nah." Are you an "alpha" trying to distract from the conversation?

[-] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

This, i almost had a stroke. Or at least i thought i was having one.

Yeah, my brain jammed trying to understand the first sentence which wasn't, in fact, a sentence.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 7 points 2 days ago

No, because periods at the end of a sentence are unnecessary if there are no further sentences.

Though a period for the first sentence in my comment would've made sense

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

Double standard.

"You're an alpha? I happen to be a power bottom, pretty boy! Why don't you come back to my place later and I'll put on my mursuit." seductive wink

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 days ago

Mursuits imply the existence of goldsuits and frankincensesuits.

[-] Draconic_NEO@pawb.social 45 points 2 days ago

Alpha isn't a real thing in the way it was originally described, wolf packs are a family stricture not a group of random dudes following the toughest ones. The "alphas" so to speak, are the parents and the "betas" are the children. We need to stop using outdated terminology from a retracted study in common language.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 31 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

That's why we should normalize asking "is it a furry thing?"

Dressing up in animal costumes to fuck has as much to do with real wolves as alpha/beta pack dynamics.

[-] Draconic_NEO@pawb.social 6 points 2 days ago

Very true, would probably get them to drop it quickly too.

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

"Alpha/Beta" kinda makes sense to describe the manosphere when you consider the context of the study. If you force a bunch of unfamiliar wolves together in an abusive environment, cruel hierarchies can develop. If you live in a society that alienates, dehumanizes, and forces inhumane scarcity, people might find comfort in hierarchical power dynamics. It's not natural to desire to be an alpha, but the result of a manufactured environment.

[-] PeachyMcPeachface 20 points 2 days ago

Good luck convincing the manosphere to drop it

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago

Calling it a "furry thing" is very likely to be successful if done in sufficient quantity

[-] Draconic_NEO@pawb.social 8 points 2 days ago

They'd do it in a heartbeat if people started thinking it was a furry thing.

[-] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 day ago

They’d do it in a heartbeat if people started ~~thinking~~ saying it was a furry thing.

In particular, once women start calling openly them out for being furries , they'll drop the issue. XD

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Since when have these people cared about the opinions of women

[-] Draconic_NEO@pawb.social 2 points 22 hours ago

Since they enjoyed heterosexual sex with them, and only if it could lead to the possibility of having sex with them. Actually they only ever care if there's potential for them to have sex (if they consider the lady attractive) otherwise they couldn't care less.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

I think the term as they mean it originated from wolf behavior in captivity rather than in the wild.

[-] shani66@ani.social 13 points 2 days ago

It's actually an omegaverse thing you uncultured fool

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

Isn't that the point?

[-] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Same with mewing and anything that ends in maxxing

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I feel like people who use those terms are less likely to care about being "weird"

[-] AmberRose@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Oh His extra ordinary 🙂🤨
