      I think we have a relict from the mid-2000s in our midst, back when half the internet was in open war with furries.

        Guy uses “degenerates” straight and is complaining about commies, progressives and furries. 90% they’re a cryptofash.

          Hating on beehaw makes perfect sense, then. Fascists and an empathy-negating neurosis, generally due to early childhood trauma in that area, name a more iconic duo. All those other things (commies, progressives, furries) actually have their fascist versions but hippies? Forget it. Incompatible in principle.

            There’s a lot of weird hippie cults, including Charles Manson’s. If your hippieism leans towards the aesthetic then it’s perfectly compatible with fascism. Not to mention the weird Californian ideology that isn’t straight fascism but sure is authoritarian in its anti-authoritarianism.

            Fascism is by definition syncretic. It eats whatever it finds and makes more of itself, with rigid power structures and might makes right logic. Every large enough movement can have a fascist version of itself.

          I’m too lazy to look through their comment history at the moment, but you’re probably right.

        I know, it must be hard for kids to understand a time before they were born, but don’t worry, someday you’ll be explaining the facts of life to youngsters yourself.

      NGL I thought my instance had gone off the rails while I wasn’t looking for a second there. Getting lumped in with hexbear and .ml is pretty rough. Beehaw? Good company imho.

        The worst part is his comments were upvoted a lot when I commented that… there’s probably a few chaps who have the impression that everyone on the furry instances is the reincarnation of Lenin now lol

          Yeah… especially considering our general stances on things, that inversion really sucks. Hopefully this isn’t a common opinion.

          Reading that actually made me double-take and check the modlogs. It was so…. Confident.

        1. You read text, you don’t listen to it

        2. You must have come from 10 years ago because nobody has opinions as cringe and childish as “furries bad zoophiles” anymore

            one word answer

            Nah that’s not how the world works buddy. Only children think in binaries.

            okay, just one question: do furries/does furry porn sexualize animals, yes or no? No mental gymnastics allowed, one word answer.

            You asked two questions and tell me to give you one answer. Nice try senator.

            Also a majority of things require answers more complex than a simple “yes” or “no”, because the world isn’t the simple land that it seems to be in your head. However, luckily for you, these questions do have relatively simple yes-or-no answers.

            To your first question: No, furries don’t by default sexualize animals. It’s weird that you even come to the conclusion that they do.

            To your second question: Also no. You can argue that furry art is usually depictions of animals, and that furry porn sexualizes those depictions, but even that’s pretty shaky because anthropromorphized beings that have a vague resemblance to animals are hard to argue as being similar enough to the real thing that it’s “sexualizing (a depiction of) [animal]”. I wouldn’t call you out on saying that furry drawings are depictions of animals, even though I think that’s flawed logic, but it’s not even remotely similar to “sexualizing animals” (e.g. zoophilia)

            also this

            Unluckily for you, my friend, I took a screenshot when you posted that since I had a feeling you would edit your mistake out. You may be playing chess in 4 dimensions, but I’m playing chess in 7 dimensions. Get pranked lol

              As someone with some insight: furries tend to have body dysphoria. They really don’t feel great about their body and want escapism.

              Personally I had a very “you are dirty and disgusting” type upbringing from my christian parents that thought shame would be a good motivator.

              Goodness, that’s an awful lot of words, champ! In fact, I think that’s more than one – and seems to have lots of mental gymnastics to boot, from what I skimmed – silly, don’t you know how to read directions? Here, let me help you out.

              Now, you go and have a little reading time, I’m gonna give you a break from my inbox. Come back when you’ve learned to count to one, and try again.

                Clearly your reading comprehension is kaputt because I gave simple “no” answers for your “question”. It’s even bolded for your viewing pleasure. Shan’t you appreciate my immaculate formatting?

            pretty sure animals aren’t asexual
