You have a fursona? Are you a furry??

Listen when I designed my fursona on deviantart/neopets when I was like 12 years old Everyone was a furry. You had to be or they wouldn’t let your dialup connect to the internet.

To be real though I know “being a furry” is really controversial Still (???) but I wish everyone would relax.

IDK if you all remember but one time I made a post defending fursonas and someone made a disgusting post claiming I’m into bestiality based on that alone. It was really graphically worded and described sex acts with animals. It was extremely upsetting. People are Wild.

When I was younger everyone I knew on the internet had a fursona, in every community I joined. Whether we were designing ourselves as Neopets or Dragons or Wolves, it was just a thing kids did. And as we got older and better at art, it was fun to reimagine those designs!!

It’s STILL fun to say “this is me if I lived in the woods. I’m an otter who wears striped sweaters.”

Like I’m sorry if that bothers you or if you’ve been made to immediately assume there’s something sexual about that.

There’s not for me. I think fursonas are cute, and I think the work that goes into fur suits are impressive, and unless they’re actually individually harming another person, I think there’s nothing wrong with furries, but the same goes for every subculture.

There are bad people in any large community. They need to be stomped out, but unless the community is branding themselves at large using those bad people, you can’t exactly judge the whole community for it.

Last time I made a post like this, people anonymously sent me detailed descriptions of certain traumas they suffered by people into the furry community. The kind of people who ask for TW tags but who apparently don’t see me as a person and feel they can send me graphic content at will.

And let’s not forget when there was a gas attack at that furry convention, an attempt to kill people, and the SAME people who dress up and go to anime conventions and comic cons were reblogging the headline like it was a joke.

IDK. I figure I’ll be attacked similarly for this again, but I think it’s just sorta tired and weird how immediately and negatively people react to furries still in 2019?

Especially when they’re all also fans of stuff they’ve been bullied for. It’s sad and boring. Get a hobby other than being mean to randos on the internet who genuinely do not deserve your ire.

you know what this has 100% reshaped my opinion on furries and i thank you

listen anyone can call themselves queer if that’s what they want to do that doesnt effect me at all but if you call me a queer person instead of a lesbian or a gay woman i will come to your house and pull out all the copper wiring like i’m de-boning a fish

Conservatives: I hate Muslim people. Look at what that Muslim person did at that Orlando LGBT bar.

LGBT people: So, does that mean you care about LGBT people?

Conservatives: No! Gay people are pedophiles, and transgender women are just men who want to invade women’s restrooms and harass women! WE NEED TO PROTECT WOMEN!

Women: So, does that mean you care about women?

Conservatives: Shut up, feminazi! Women in the United States are not oppressed! If you want to talk about women’s oppression, you should be focusing on how women in other countries are treated!

Refugees: So, does that mean you care about people from other countries?

Conservatives: Stay out of our country! Why should we care about refugees when we have people here who need help?

Homeless People: So, does that mean you care about people who need help?

Conservatives: No! Get a job, freeloader!

Why do people get so mad when lgbt people say they want a character to be gay?? Like people saying they want Elsa to be a lesbian after the new Frozen trailer. Suddenly all the concerned “non homophobic” handwringers come out of the woodwork saying it doesn’t fit her character, she’s independent, she doesn’t need a relationship, not everything has to be gay, there should be a brand new character who is gay not an already established character, disney will never make elsa gay, and you’ll call it queerbaiting if you don’t “get your way.” All the while pretending to give a shit about lgbt representation saying ofc I want to see more representation, just not here. Or there. Or anywhere I don’t approve of. Lmao, just say you’re homophobic and move on. Stop with your bullshit. You ain’t slick.

why is it everytime wlw want a character to have a girlfriend the argument “she doesn’t need anyone to make her happy” comes up? Like I get that people can be happy without a romantic partner, and that’s important to show in media (take Penelope in One Day at a Time) but it’s frustrating that it’s always with wlw.

I remember with Korra, people were mad that she was with Asami instead of just being on her own. Or with Reyna from Heroes of Olympus. And Lena Luthor. And Petra Solano. And now Elsa. This kind of argument just does not come up (or not nearly as often) when the romantic partner in question is supposed to be a guy. People try to hide it behind ‘progressive’ attitudes, but it’s pretty thinly veiled homophobia. Instead of outright saying ‘she shouldn’t have a girl as her love interest’ they change it to ‘why does she need a love interest at all?’

wlw deserve to be represented and they deserve to have happy, well written romances with well developed characters.

And okay, say she isn’t going to get a love interest. Why can’t she still be queer? Because that’s where the issue is.
