    Gays. Black people. Non Christians. Your exact statement has been said about all of them.

      Saying something is fucked up has been said about a lot of things. I’m sure there’s someone who’s said it’s fucked up to put pineapple on a pizza.

      Also you do realise those are things people are born as? Whereas no furry was born a non-human.

      The fact you would even compare them is a a revile as 4Chan trolls trying to link “maps” to LGBT.

            So, sometimes I pretend to be a wizard and roll some dice about it. If one of my players showed up in armor it’d be badass. It’s a hobby. Few things are more cringe than furry hate.

              The key difference being you’re playing a game.

              If one of your players showed up wearing a fedora, hentai body pillow, and hadn’t bathed in 7 days would you still be as happy?

                No because they should bathe and take their body pillow to a group around that. Idgaf what kind of hat they wear though.

                That’s the thing here, furry events are the time and place for furry stuff. It’s like how people dress weird and hit each other in dungeons and wrestling rings. People dress weird and say strange things in religious buildings. People dress weird, talk weird, pretend to be someone they aren’t, and often stink at Renaissance festivals. Times and places. I’m not gonna judge their hobby just like I won’t judge the SCA

                  So it’s a hobby and not an identity now?

                  Its completely separate from being LGBTQ+. Good.

                    Yeah that’s how I’ve always seen it. But it is a hobby they use as a stand in for queer people a lot. They love to say anti furry things and then use it as a justification before also doing transphobia. They’ve been correlating the two for at least a decade. And there’s also homophobia present in a lot of anti furry sentiment.

            Bullshit. That’s the same shit used against drag queens and crossdressers. People who were instrumental to lgbtq history. I’d have thought someone “not straight” would’ve known better.

              You’d be surprised. I’ve even encountered a lot of gay people who are against the ‘T’ or the ‘BT’ in LGBT.

              Being gay certainly makes you more likely to be progressive, but I’ve learned it definitely doesn’t guarantee it.

              Plenty of gay people are regressive, hateful fuckwits.

              Sexuality and gender are not the same as an animal.

              Don’t compare them.

                I’d suggest you read the g/acc manifesto. Some people do believe they’re animals and should be encouraged to express their kinship with them. Queering society as such is something you should be all for if you’re “not straight”. I say this as a trans woman who’s been around the community for a decade- identity is fucking complicated. Reductive logic like this is NOT applicable and actively harmful, even. therian/xenogender people, you’re fucking awesome and I love you all.

                  Uh no, those ones in particular should be getting legitimate psychiatric help, just like someone believing they’re Jesus should.

                  And they are not part of the community because they are not a sexuality or gender. Stop weakening the movement by lumping every random alt thing into it.

                    The “movement” has historically BEEN A PART OF EVERY RANDOM ALT THING and is growing to do exactly that! Acceptance is important. But I bet you get real butthurt when you see somebody dressed up like a cartoon animal at pride, huh?

          Nobody is born religious, therefore everyone is born non-Christian.

            True, but it’s obviously different from race, sex, etc. It’s closer to nationality, because it affects your upbringing but can change over time.
