The whole furry thing is creepy as hell. It’s weird. Wanting to have sex with anthropomorphized animals is not a thing that should be normalized.
And it’s even creepier when they add things like “kitten” or showing anthropomorphized animal kids.
And thank you to Unruffled [they/them] / Flatworm7591 @lemmy.dbzer0.com for this sane and reasonable response.
And thanks to recursive_recursion who seems to be an alt of Flatworm for continuing that sane and reasonable response. Note that in over 1,400 comments here I’ve never once said a single word against trans people. Not once.
It really bothers me when people lie about racism. So many people really do experience it so much in life, and lying using false racism accusations as a sword and shield to make other people look bad and make themselves look like the victim is demeaning to every real instance people suffer.
Hopefully one day this person realizes that lying about transphobia for the same reasons does the same thing.
… You’re saying we have to protect women/blacks/queers/etc. from people because sometimes those sexists/racists/bigots/etc. dislike an entire group for totally valid reasons.
No, I’m not saying that. I said that the reason we protect certain groups and don’t use those characteristics against them instead of simply saying it’s always wrong to use anything anyone does as a bad thing is because people do bad things so it’s not always wrong.
Saying someone shouldn’t be black in public? Not alright.
Saying someone shouldn’t be walking around in public in a costume made entirely of sex toys? Accurate.
Saying someone shouldn’t be gay in public? Not alright.
Saying someone shouldn’t be having gay sex in a crowded public park? Accurate.
Saying you hate everyone who has a certain religion? Not alright.
Saying you hate people who talk on the speaker phone at full volume while sitting waiting to be called at the DMV? Good point.
