The whole furry thing is creepy as hell. It’s weird. Wanting to have sex with anthropomorphized animals is not a thing that should be normalized.
And it’s even creepier when they add things like “kitten” or showing anthropomorphized animal kids.
And thank you to Unruffled [they/them] / Flatworm7591 @lemmy.dbzer0.com for this sane and reasonable response.
And thanks to recursive_recursion who seems to be an alt of Flatworm for continuing that sane and reasonable response. Note that in over 1,400 comments here I’ve never once said a single word against trans people. Not once.
It really bothers me when people lie about racism. So many people really do experience it so much in life, and lying using false racism accusations as a sword and shield to make other people look bad and make themselves look like the victim is demeaning to every real instance people suffer.
Hopefully one day this person realizes that lying about transphobia for the same reasons does the same thing.
It seems the same to me. It’s hard to see a distinction when people try to explain that they’re not sexually attracted to animals, they’re sexually attracted to imaginary animals who are roughly human shaped while retaining their animal characteristics and also able to speak.
It’s weird that there’s a sexual attraction to things that don’t exist in reality, that are most commonly seen in images on the internet, that has grown so much over the 20 or so years where people have grown up with the internet. Those things seem likely related.
