No matter their reputation, every furry I’ve ever met has been a decent person.
My daughter likes to point out that the kids in her old school hated furries but loved the sports mascot guy in a fursuit.
I’m not equating furries to pedophiles here, as I have absolutely no problems with them what so ever…
But this is the equivalent of saying people hate pedophiles, but love children. It’s pretty obvious that the sexualization is the difference.
"I’m not implying that taco eaters are responsible for the pandemic, mind you…
But there was always a line around the block at Taco Bell in the early days of the pandemic."
The moment you say “I’m not equating benign X with problematic Y”, you immediately put the idea in people’s head that X and Y have a strong correlation which serves to further skepticism and judgment of benign X.
If I didn’t do that, I would inevitably be accused of equating them. So I explicitly pointed out that I’m noy equating them. If people interpret that there is a strong correlation between the two, despite what I explicitly said, then that’s on them. If I hadn’t made it clear, then that would be on me.
Or, and this is just a thought, you just say nothing. That’s an option, too.
Sure, just like you could have here. But, hypocritically, did not.
Just in case I get you right. I think you are confusing being a Furry with practising sodomy. As a Furry I can assure you, that this accounts for a very small subgroup that - at least I - tend to avoid. Sex is nice as long as everyone consents and is mentally able to consent.
If I got you wrong please clarify what you meant. I don’t want to accuse you of anything ^-^

Nah, I was under the incorrect impression that it was primarily/exclusively a sexual fetish. I still stand by my point because according to wikipedia it seems like sexualization is, at least, a major subculture within it, if not an outright majority.
I do see your point (I think). On the other hand yiff has a wide range from humans with animal features (catgirls, cowgirls, …) up to the more hardcore furry porn. I for example would also say that I have “a minor sexual interest” but that interest does not include the real hardcore stuff.
And with Furry content showing strongly humanified animals it is arguable how bad/harmful said fetish is. But I have to admit that I have too found myself questioning if a bit of yiff I had just seen was a bit too much, but where to draw the line is ultimately highly subjective.
I still wouldn’t compare them to people that sexualize underage (anime) kids just from the matter of fact that kids exist irl whilst humanified beasts are just a product of imagination.
This is not a fetish that I think is bad at all. Seems completely harmless to me, assuming it’s all consenting adults.
I’m just pointing out that this is why I believe people view furries differently than mascots.
I’m still waiting for the cat girls…
Edit: For whoever is downvoting me, this is literally the same group that hacked a nuclear research lab last year. Their demand was that they begin serious research into the creation of real life catgirls.
I didn’t downvote you, but the context is appreciated because I didn’t know why you said that.
My bad! I’m honestly surprised they didn’t mention it in the article! It’s journalistic gold!
I mean, fair enough
AND THE RESEARCH?!
That sounds like an interesting line of study, do you have and further insight on progress?
Lemmy has gotten a lot less civil recently, people just downvoting for no reason and calling each other shit they wouldn’t dare say to a living person in front of them
Thank you for your furvice o7
Thank you fur survice.
Earlier this year, SiegedSec claimed to have hacked the River Valley Church of Burnsville, Minnesota — and to have spent $6,200 in church funds to purchase 100 inflatable sea lions
I would have forced them to spend $100 on as many shelters and food kitchens that they could find, and then see if River Valley would try to do a charge back on each one.
[last lines] TV Anchorman: In a surprise announcement, the Republican National Committee has revealed it is bankrupt. A spokesman for the party said they had plenty of money in their accounts last week, but today they just don’t know where the money has gone. But not everybody is going begging. Amnesty International, Greenpeace and the United Negro College Fund announced record earnings this week, due mostly to large, anonymous donations.

Based Furries. Fuck Transphobes.
Still beats me how they manage to use the keyboard with those big fluffy paws…
I will never get tired of seeing headlines that start with “Gay furry hackers” because if the Venn diagram is that intersectional, it’s schaudenfreude story time with spicy drops! 🍿
In the same fashion that elves were like the best blacksmiths in middle earth, I love how furries specifically tend to be very high in the “computer power” scale
Earlier this year, SiegedSec claimed to have hacked the River Valley Church of Burnsville, Minnesota — and to have spent $6,200 in church funds to purchase 100 inflatable sea lions — after its lead pastor, Rob Ketterling, allegedly made transphobic remarks. In the past, Ketterling said the legalization of gay marriage would lead to the legalization of pedophilia, polygamy, and bestiality.
That’s pretty awesome.
I can’t help it but regardless of the context the phrase “Gay Furry Hackers” will always seem a little funny to me… Not sure why bain is a weird place.
Let’s hope we hear about a lot more action from them.
Alright, which one of you did this?
We need more grey hat hackers in this world.
We need more gay hat hackers in this world.
FTFY
It was SO CLOSE I dont know how they missed it xD
I like that the idea that gay furries being the ones that did them in likely makes them that much more mad about getting caught.
All right which of you did this?
