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.

    1. Being a furry has nothing to do with sex. It’s kinda like cosplaying a character that you make up (it’s called a fursona). Why? Cuz fursonas are cute. Animated stuff and cartoon like stuff is fun! Furry art, fursuits and stuff is art. Art is fun to participate in and/or appreciate.
    2. Humans are sexual creatures. So many other hobbies are sexualised. Football porn exists, where sexy athletic folk have sex. Is football purely a sexual sport then? No. Absolutely the same applies for furries.
    3. If an act isn’t harming anyone, it’s none of your business. Some people like eating shit and drinking piss. You might not enjoy it. Being worried about what others are doing in their bedroom (unless it’s non consensual and hurting yourself/society) is absolutely none of your business.

    The t-shirt here is obviously a shitpost. Also, don’t mix pedo shit with furries. Straight pedos exist. Is me saying, “ooooh the idea of being a heterosexual is so creepy with people calling each other daddy/mommy. Especially the kind of porn where they fuck kids” appropriate? No, anyone who says something like this is a dumbass.

    Hitler loved animals. Are all animal lovers Nazis now? Similarly, a subset of furries are pedos who produce pedo art. Are all furries pedos now? Come on…

    The furry community is a place where generally autistic folk, who are also, generally queer come together to be cringey and fun. It’s a safe space, completely separate from the sadness in the world, the politics and such. It’s a place where well, you dress up as a fkin cute animal and do cute, “cringey” stuff without anyone judging you.

    When you make weird ass connections like these (like the pedo connection) without actually attempting to understand and learn, you just become someone who hurts other people who just want to exist and do their own thing.

    This either makes you:

    • an idiot
    • someone who deliberately wants to hurt other people for literally no reason.

    So not cool. Be better.

      You missed the point of things I’d said so many times in that, that there’s really no much to reply to. If you do have a developmental disability that’s not a thing I would insult.

      I said many times that I don’t care what other people do in the privacy of their own bedrooms. However just like your own example of people literally eating shit, this one is also creepy and weird. Yes, it’s completely acceptable to say that people eating shit is creepy and weird. And it definitely is.
