    Apologies to any furries, or other kin who might be reading and feel hurt, but I genuinely don’t get how you feel the way you do. BUT

    I also don’t HAVE to “get it” to know it’s who you are, it’s part of your identity, and even if I wanted to change it I couldn’t.

    Be as “weird” or “normal” or “kinky” or “reserved” as you want to be. It’s none of my business. It’s none of anyone’s business except yours.

    All the bullshit fear mongering hatred is so fucking stupid. “oh look they are wearing something that helps them feel closer to who they are, that makes me angry!” like Bruh… There are much more important things to worry about. Like how the country is going to implode in the next 4 years because half the US is bigoted pieces of shit who want a bigoted piece of shit in charge, and they LITERALLY want to wipe out people like this…

    Fuck outta here with bullshit divisive hatred over something as trivial as “they’re a furry/something not cishetero/whatever”

    Be a furry. Be ungovernable. Be whatever you are. To hell with republican hangups.

      I’m a big fan of the maxim that how people talk about furries tells you a LOT about how deep their progressive ideals actually run.

      There are way too many self proclaimed leftists who either want to or feel compelled to reflexively shit on furries, because they’re the designated punching bags that it’s OK to mock. This, despite the fact that furries aren’t harming anyone.

      I don’t get furry kinks. I don’t get spending thousands of dollars on a fursuit. I don’t get the fursona thing. I do know enough to know that for most furries it’s not a kink, furry porn is only consumed by a very small subset of the community, and a lot of self-identified furries probably can’t afford a fursuit.

      But most of all, I know they’re not hurting anyone. So who the fuck cares what they do with their time and money, or how they get off, or fucking whatever? It’s none of my god damn business.

      I hope every furry is having a good time, and I hope you all get an abundance of head pats.

      And I wish that the so-called leftists who keep punching down on them would find someone actually worth shitting on to be mean to instead.

      Like Nazis. It’s always good to be mean to Nazis.

        I don’t disagree with the sentiment. BUT, being economic left doesn’t have anything to do with accepting furries…

        Lib left, lib right ~ those are the political ideologies who should be in favor and support of liberal ideals (such as “be whoever and whatever you want to be as long as it’s not hurting someone else”)… It has nothing to do with the economic left
