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.
I’m not denying SOME of it is sexual, but what you’re doing is assuming that MOST or ALL of it is sexual, which is both wrong and also the result of cognitive biases and a good example of why extrapolation from anecdotes is a bad idea especially when it’s fueled by confirmation bias
The Internet is full of those sexualized pictures. The pictures came before the suits were something most people could easily buy.
The sexualization started before people started wearing them in public for other things. The only reason the response wasn’t people freaking out was most didn’t know that and kids just see cute animal mascots.
It still seems like forcing the public to participate in a fetish without consent.
Can you please stop trying to work backwards from your conclusion to the supporting evidence.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, that doesn’t seem like a response to the comment you responded to. It’s definitely not me saying how you got interested in anything.
