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.

    No, I’m not saying that. I said that the reason we protect certain groups and don’t use those characteristics against them instead of simply saying it’s always wrong to use anything anyone does as a bad thing is because people do bad things so it’s not always wrong.

    Saying someone shouldn’t be black in public? Not alright.
    Saying someone shouldn’t be walking around in public in a costume made entirely of sex toys? Accurate.
    Saying someone shouldn’t be gay in public? Not alright.
    Saying someone shouldn’t be having gay sex in a crowded public park? Accurate.
    Saying you hate everyone who has a certain religion? Not alright.
    Saying you hate people who talk on the speaker phone at full volume while sitting waiting to be called at the DMV? Good point.

      No, that’s what you were saying. That’s why I suggested you rephrase it, because what you’re saying is exactly what I presented and I didn’t think that was representative of your real opinions.

      Anyways, that’s a great illustration of the problem:

      Saying all black people are criminals? Not alright
      Saying a black person is a criminal? Accurate (er… maybe)
      Saying all [group] are [anything]? Not alright
      Saying all furries are sex perverts walking around in a suit ‘made entirely of sextoys’ (again, you made that up)? no, wait, that one is okay!

      Are you starting to see the issue here? You’re claiming that tarring all members of a group with the same brush is wrong, but then you go on to do exactly that because… I guess it’s okay when you do it? Presumably because you know damn well you’re not a bad person, and those creepy weirdos, well you just don’t like them. Sex perverts, the lot of them.
