Tell me you don’t know queer subcultures without telling me you don’t know queer subcultures. Would you like to complain about drag shows while you’re at it? I hear it is very in vogue at the moment.
Why? If someone’s identity as a furry is as much a part of them as your identity as gay, or for that matter, Marcus’ identity as black, isn’t it similar enough a violation that society deems you can’t be that and be a full equal?
This, to me, is the problem. Mystique shouldn’t have to hide her mutant status even though she could.
While furries aren’t a marginalized group, 99% of furry hate is a proxy for queerphobia and ableism, the criticisms are almost 1:1 with the shit those same people say about queer and autistic folk.
Edit: ITT: Someone spends 10 fucking hours responding to every single reply thats even remotely empathetic towards furries, while being a wedge-issue little shit. This is so sad.
I see a huge potential for them to become an at risk minority. Why shouldn’t I defend a group that I think is innocent and under threat? I don’t want them to be next. Bullying of groups of people who do no harm, just want to express themselves in their own way, makes me sick.
Let’s not tolerate narrowing the spectrum of ways people can enjoy their lives. That’s what totalitarian regimes do. They prohibit this and prohibit that, and in the end, you are only allowed to watch the approved movies, listen to the approved music and wear the approved clothes. You can stop expressing yourself, you can stop engaging in your hobbies, you can stop living the way you want to live, you can survive. But it sucks all happiness from your life.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t be able to do anything.
I’m just saying that equating a hobby to things people literally cannot change about these is absolutely horrible.
Going “well the transes have support but who is supporting furries” is stupid.
Yes, tons of furries are queer, this does not mean that to be a furry is to be queer, it’s a square and rectangle kinda thing.
Get your rocks off any fucking way you want but equating liking cartoon animals to being trans, while there is an active push for trans genocide world-wide is fucking disgusting.
There will never be wide persecution or institutional oppression against the tony the tiger fan club.
I’m supporting trans people as well. This is not a popularity contest and I don’t view it as either-or.
I believe both trans people and furries should be part of the general discours about tolerance and inclusivity of our society. Our tolerance should be broad and not focused only on sexual minorities.
I’m not saying that being a furry should not be protected as artistic expression.
It’s just ridiculous to put it on the same level as being lgbt, because being lgbt puts people at serious risk while being a furry means you’ll have to deal with an obnoxious edgy 14 year old online every now and then.
Please don’t compare your love for cartoon animals to being lgbt

Disney adult ass reply
What? The reference is pre-Disney.
I’m the one who thinks the scream-extractor is a good symbol for capitalism. Also Buy N Large.
And besides which, do you have a problem with adults who are big into Disney?

Tbf, furries are ⅔ LGBT.
There’s research on that. Thanks, Canadian goverment.

Furry or not; we are stronger together.
That can be true at the same time as “being a furry doesn’t make you an at risk minority”

Because being a furry is a hobby, engaging in a hobby doesn’t make you a minority.
No matter what happens, you can always stop looking at cartoon animals on the internet, can’t really stop being gay or trans.
Are we gatekeeping being rejected now?

This reads to me a lot like “I don’t care what they do in their bedroom, but why do they have to be that way in public?”
I bet you have blue hair and pronouns
And now the pivot from furries to trans people. I am utterly shocked that this would be the case.

Wow, bigoted much?
