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.
Yawn, this bullshit is as old as the internet. Leave the furries alone.
Saying that you find a thing creepy and weird isn’t attacking anyone. Another person here used people literally eating shit as an example. Would you not say that people getting off literally eating shit is weird and creepy? Even if you wouldn’t, I sure would.
There are over 8 billion humans. We’re not all going to agree on the same things. There’s a huge distinction between honestly saying a thing is creepy and trying to form mobs to hunt people who do those things down.
Idgaf how you feel about it, be creeped out all you want, as others have pointed out this is the same rhetoric used to hate on gay and trans folks. I hate seeing this shit on here, Lemmy is for the queer, audhd, anti-establishment furry punks, and I like it that way.
It’s a bit insane to try to say no one can share opinions you don’t like or agree with. Yeah, of course the same things a person says to explain why they hate olives sounds like something much worse if you switch the word “olives” for “Jews.”
I’ve never seen anything on Lemmy that says it exists only for a few specific groups of people.
Oh fuck off asshole, go back to reddit where you belong
No sense in putting up with hateful, insulting people so I’m just going to add you to the block list.
Some person with whom i vehemently disagreed once pointed this out to me, and it changed my perspective, so here goes:
Blocking people on Lemmy only makes it so that you can’t see anything they post. You aren’t notified when they post a comment replying to your own, but _everyone else can still see it. I recommend using user tags in certain colours, so I have one for that guy who constantly misuses the thorn (þ) in his posts, so that I’m mentally prepared for the gut punch as a student of Old Norse and Old English. That guy has a different colour flair than all of the astroturfers, crazed tankies, and dickbags, because you can set a LOT of different user tag colours. Rather than blocking them, just set them to a red flair, so that you can safely ignore anything they have to say, without potentially being slandered or otherwise made to look a fool without understanding why.
Yeah, I get that but don’t really care. I’d rather simply not have to see the idiocy, I don’t care if other idiots congregate in and tell them they’re very right and wise and it’s crazy to think wanting to have sex with animals, or kids, or blenders is creepy and weird.
