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.

    Can you point to the words that you’re interpreting as me saying it’s ok to be racist?

      I did, it’s that section I quoted - wherein you put forward the idea that we have protected groups (queers, blacks, women, etc) because it’s not considered wrong to dislike any [protected] group of people because of what they do. Implying that we have protected groups because it’s acceptable to be racist/sexist/homophobic, and by extension what you’re doing is also acceptable.

      You don’t see the incredibly problematic comparison you’ve just made?

        No, you’re misunderstanding.

        The reason we have protected groups as opposed to simply saying that voicing any dislike of anything that any group of people does is always wrong is because it’s not always wrong.

          … You’re saying we have to protect women/blacks/queers/etc. from people because sometimes those sexists/racists/bigots/etc. dislike an entire group for totally valid reasons.

            No, I’m not saying that. I said that the reason we protect certain groups and don’t use those characteristics against them instead of simply saying it’s always wrong to use anything anyone does as a bad thing is because people do bad things so it’s not always wrong.

            Saying someone shouldn’t be black in public? Not alright.
            Saying someone shouldn’t be walking around in public in a costume made entirely of sex toys? Accurate.
            Saying someone shouldn’t be gay in public? Not alright.
            Saying someone shouldn’t be having gay sex in a crowded public park? Accurate.
            Saying you hate everyone who has a certain religion? Not alright.
            Saying you hate people who talk on the speaker phone at full volume while sitting waiting to be called at the DMV? Good point.

              No, that’s what you were saying. That’s why I suggested you rephrase it, because what you’re saying is exactly what I presented and I didn’t think that was representative of your real opinions.

              Anyways, that’s a great illustration of the problem:

              Saying all black people are criminals? Not alright
              Saying a black person is a criminal? Accurate (er… maybe)
              Saying all [group] are [anything]? Not alright
              Saying all furries are sex perverts walking around in a suit ‘made entirely of sextoys’? no, wait, that one is okay! (and again, something you made up)

              Are you starting to see the issue here? You’re claiming that tarring all members of a group with the same brush is wrong, but then you go on to do exactly that because… I guess it’s okay when you do it? Presumably because you know damn well you’re not a bad person, and those creepy weirdos, well you just don’t like them. Sex perverts, the lot of them.

              And I can see you’re not a bad person - we have six months of records that show you’re either a pretty damn decent person or one of the best actors I’ve found on here. So why are you so willing to barter away your values on this one issue, when I can fairly confidently conclude you’d never defend bullshit like this if it were being said about any other group of people?

                  Honestly, I doubt it. I think they just hadn’t realized that having an unpopular opinion on lemmy doesn’t make them special or mean people will respect them for admitting it.

                  Now they’re all scandalized about being banned from a buncha DB0 comms after parroting a shitload of phobic talking points for several hours and like… Nah, if you walk and talk and steal soundbites from racist transphobes, kinda shouldn’t be surprised when you aren’t given the chance to actually be racist and transphobic. That’s the price of committing to a hateful opinion - you’re allowed to have it just as much as other people are allowed to make sure you can’t spread it in their communities.
