The assassination of queer subcultures by mainstream respectability politics is transparent as hell and I don’t know how so many people who think they’re Doing Good let it slide, but, come on.

Kink, and fur, and a host of other subcultures are dominated by queer people. They were largely founded by queer people are still propelled by queer people. Individual kinksters, furries, whoever else, are overwhelmingly gay, or bi, or ace, trans, genderqueer, whatever else you can think of. A lot of them are only into what they’re into because it’s the easiest way to surround themselves with other queer people. A lot of them are there because it’s the only way they feel safe exploring or expressing their sexuality. A lot of them are just super freaky, and that’s A-OK.

“[kink | fur | etc.] doesn’t make you queer” isn’t recited like a moral precept because there’s any real movement of Straight kinksters/furries/whoever trying to infiltrate our spaces. Its purpose is to firmly divorce those concepts in your mind before you have a chance to realize how linked they are by nature. It’s meant to build a brick wall through your perceptions of the world around you.

If you have “kink doesn’t make you queer” drilled into your head for long enough, it becomes an instinct to see a woman in leather and think, “Not Gay.” If you hear “fur doesn’t make you queer” often enough, then seeing a fursuit at Pride will fill you with a moral panic: They Don’t Belong Here, you say to yourself, they’re not queer, even if they are. So you make them feel unsafe, evict them from all of our spaces, and all of a sudden, we have a Nice, Sterile, Respectable Image of a queer community who Definitely Isn’t into any of That Weird Shit, please Straight people, can’t you see we’re just like you?

Be better than that.

A lot of furries are neurodivergent as well.

It’s like how fanfiction writers, an overwhelmingly queer group, are sneered at as “a bunch of straight women.”

FINALLY YES THIS.

Look I went to a tiny college, and before that I went to a tiny high school where my graduating class was literally 30 people. I was just ‘the weird nerd’ with no friends until the furries at college zeroed in on me and were like ‘that is a baby queer’.

They were my only friends for years. And they were overwhelmingly queer. They introduced me to the concepts of kink, of polyam, of consent, and taught me a whole bunch of societal context and cues I’d missed, and they did it all while being respectful of my boundaries and comfort zone (and my comfort zone was not large then). I played my first console game with those friends. My first tabletop campaign. I watched Buffy and Farscape with them. And I learned that asexuality was a thing. Which was kind of a big deal for me. They were my safe space to learn and grow and figure out who I was.

And then after college i started seeing all of the cringe associated with furries, mostly on this site, and it’s so fucking transparent. “They’re weird, they’re embarrassing, they’re not the white picket fence gays we want to show off to make the straights like us.”

Yeah they’re weird. And like with any community of people with a niche interest, you’re going to have some bad experiences and bad eggs in there, but you know what, the furries and kinksters were nicer to me and more respectful of my personhood and gave an astronomically better impression than any goddamn radfem would have.

Taika Waititi has made Oscars history.

At the 92nd Academy Awards, the “Jojo Rabbit” writer-director-actor took the prize for adapted screenplay. This makes Waititi the first person of Māori descent to win an Oscar. He was the first ever indigenous person to be nominated in the category. (x)
