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.
That’s actually even better. “I dislike this opinion so much that I will complain that it’s popular so it gets deleted.”
If mental gymnastics burned as many calories as the real thing we’d never need to get off the internet and go get some exercise. :)
It’s not mental gymnastics and it’s not about disliking the opinion, it’s legitimately not unpopular. Dunking on furries has been popular on the internet since at least 2005, it is extremely mainstream and probably the gateway for young people to the more toxic parts of the internet since blatant bigotry is more likely to be removed.
You have a very small mind if you think all disagreement is “I don’t like it”
I think it’s unpopular here though and maybe that’s enough.
TBF most UO are borderline at best so this argument can be applied to all.
I find it weird that it’s either too unpopular but also not unpopular.
I’ve never spoken a word to you and you jump in to insult me. This is how intolerance works. Tribalism. When people feel one opinion or reaction is the socially acceptable one for the group and someone else is honest about disagreeing then you feel it’s socially acceptable to attack that person. Shun the outsider. The evolutionary psychology of millions of years of mainly relatively small groups spread out with little contact with outsiders definitely didn’t prepare us for being lumped together on the internet.
sorry you made a bad argument, don’t take it so personally, you’re not a victim
