sorry to be cringey but can we stop this idea that every furry is a sex hungry freak that likes bestiality and has really disturbing kinks. being a furry is just thinking anthropomorphic animals are interesting and cute. theres nothing inherently sexual about being a furry. just because someone says “im a furry” they arent necessarily confessing to you how they get horny for foxes with tits or diapers on dogs or something. so when u see someone make a fursona or draw an anthro animal, dont immediately think “they wanna fuck animals”. sometimes its just that….anthro animals….are fun to draw.
basically,
literally what is so bad about this
Also a lot of furries are literal children
Also, furries are one of the best and most generous when it comes to supporting artists. When they commission an artist to draw something, they as a group tend to pay the best rates and be the most reliable.
Which is like? Firstly, not a surprise that something steeped in alter-ego resonates for queer people, especially trans people.
And secondly, also super not surprising that it’s a community that is massively oversexualized and denigrated as sexually deviant. Like, js it’s a tale as old as time to target an overlapping interest group as a guise to target a minority demographic.
And targeting sexual shaming at queer-dense populations, hah! HAH, I’m not surprised.
I’m not even goddamn kidding, seriously. A huge chunk of bullying directed at the furry community is just socially acceptable queerphobia.
Don’t forget that a lot of furry hate is just rebranded hatred for autistic people, who are a decent sized chunk of the furry community.
But let’s also not throw kinky furries under the bus in favor of the “respectable” “pure” furries
Getting off to anthro animals is also fine, and none of your business
Reblogging for that last addition- it’s important to know that being a furry isn’t automatically a sex thing and that somebody telling you they’re a furry or that they draw or enjoy furry art ISN’T somebody being overly familiar with you and telling you about their fetishes or sexual habits.
BUT I also don’t like the tone of implying that everybody who IS into it for sex reasons is a “sex hungry freak” and that their kinks are “disgusting” or that they’re automatically a fucking zoophile. It’s a cartoon character that doesn’t resemble a real animal in any meaningful way whatsoever, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having kinks that don’t hurt other living things, no matter how “weird” they are.
You would think this is a deep quote from a famous artist or writer or even philosopher, but no, it’s a line from fucking Detective Dick Gumshoe in the Ace Attorney series.
First Contact Is Made With A Little Girl Skipping Rocks At A Creek
Hi! Do you want to share my creekbed? Mama says it isn’t my creekbed, it belongs to the world, but I call it mine because I’m the only one who ever uses it. Wanna skip rocks? We can race. I’ll even let you have my smoother ones, they’re best for skipping. You don’t know how? Here, like this. Move that bit more. Your wrists are funny. Your whole body’s funny. Mama says that’s mean to say, but how can it be mean? Being funny is a good thing. I’ve got a funny toe. It’s smaller than all the others, see? Oh wow, your toes are funny too. No silly, you can’t step over there–that’s where all the poliwogs live. They’re baby frogs. You can stick your fingers in and wiggle at them if you promise to be gentle.
Boy, you sure got a lot of fingers. Oh, they like you! Aren’t they cute? When I grow up, I’m gonna have a whole poliwog family. They’ll live in my bathtub. Why do you have so many hands? I wish I had that many hands. I bet you’ll be real good at rock skipping. Do you have creeks where you live? I come out here a lot. Sometimes if I’m real quiet, the beavers will come out with their babies. Do you have beavers where you live? They look like this, with their teeth. And they have great big tails that slap the water, like this. They eat trees, and they build houses with them too. Their house is called dam but Mama says I’m not allowed to say that. Grown ups are always telling us what words we can’t say, but that’s just because they’re embarrassed. They say the words by accident a lot. Look! See that? It’s a wooly bear! His fur’s all orange, and that means it’s gonna be a good summer. You wanna meet Mama? Maybe she’ll make us some ice cream, since you’re a guest. Careful! The big rocks are slippery. Here, hold my hand. This is how I walk with Mama so she won’t lose me. I won’t let you fall.]
I’m weary of gatekeeping wank that tries to do the whole, “oh, well, gatekeepers are big meanies, but they’re still LGBT, so we have to respect them, uwu!”
No. I’m putting my foot down. If you’re going to be the Gay Police and try to define other folks’ identities for them, well, then, the queer community has a protocol on what to do with cops.
Hey there, would you like to give money to an animal shelter? Would you like to get neat little things in return?
My local animal shelter is running an auction online right now to earn money for work on our canine facilities– problem is people aren’t donating and they’re only at $283 of their $1,000 goal [as of 7/19/21]. The auction ends on 7/25, so you’re going to need to act fast for things such as:
Paintings, posters, ceramic cats, cool booklets, shirts–for you AND your pet–and many more items being posted!
single people have wealth comparable to world superpowers less than 60 years ago. if that doesn’t make you want to build a guillotine, I don’t know what will.
Yesterday, I was at dinner with some friends and briefly forgot Harrison Ford’s name, but I was like, “His name is a president and a car,” which is how we got such acceptable alternatives as McKinley Camry, Van Buren Gremlin, Clinton Infinity, and Range Rover Cleveland.
