There is nothing wrong with having sexual fetishes.
Are they hurting anybody ? No
Are they are they different from the mainstream ? Yes, and sometimes when people see something new, they get angry. We shouldn’t get angry, but instead try to be open and cool with it.
Furries are NOT seeking out other people and harassing them. They’re just having fun with likeminded people.
Diversity is good and I’m happy every time I see someone else being happy and enjoying something.
Furries are not hurting anyone - they’re just enjoying themselves and having a good time.
Stuff like that makes the world a nice place to be.
You’re spreading unnecessary hate and being a dickhead. Try enjoying life a bit.
That’s a bigoted thing to say.
There is nothing wrong with being a furry. Why don’t you want your kid to do whatever makes them happy ?
I don’t think it needs to be shoehorned at all.
I see this just as a small quality of life improvement of how it already works.
I think it would actually represent the way Lemmy works better than the way it works now :)
I am actually not sure, whether this needs to be fixed in the Lemmy source code or in the mastodon source code.
Especially the way communities work on mastodon annoys me. I would love to follow some communities on mastodon, but I’ve had to unfollow all of them, because the comments take up my entire feed.
And the comments show up without the context of the original post, so I have to click on the comment, to enter the post thread it is a part of, and then scroll all the way to the top to see the post it is related to.
Maybe something about activity pub makes it hard to change, but it would be nice if it could be fixed :)
“The cartoon was intended to be an exercise in silliness. While I have never met a cow who could make tools, I felt sure that if I did, they (the tools) would lack something in sophistication and resemble the sorry specimens shown in this cartoon. I regret that my fondness for cows, combined with an overactive imagination, may have carried me beyond what is comprehensible to the average Far Side reader.” - Larson

It certainly confused me 😅
What is the perceived intent of the comment ?
Nothing wrong with being a furry <3
(posting this comment just to make sure everyone here agrees)
Why is their logo a traffic cone ? 😅
I love VLC and use it almost everyday :)
The post is not just about calling people derogatory names, it is also about flying a drone with a voice message. When push comes to shove, the voice message is a threat of calling the police. Where are the crackheads going to go now ?
They have no other place to be. So asking them to leave is just asking them to go to a new place, and then a new place after that and so on, while each day some of them die due to cold, violence and other accumulating factors.
This is a systematic issue, and we need to fix the system and be compassionate, rather than just push poor people around.
I agree, but we should get mad about the root of the problem, not the symptom.
We should definitely get rid of “crackheadness”, but I think we should do it by building a better system and supporting each other.
Most people, who call other people “crackheads” have not seen those people take drugs. They use the word because of how the other people look.
Being called a crackhead more often than not means “looks like a homeless person”.
Not necessarily, but it is often used as a derogatory word about homeless people.
Whether it’s perfectly synonymous, my point still stands about respecting the humanity of other people
What a dehumanizing way to talk about homeless people :/
People you know, and yourself, could become homeless tomorrow. This dehumanization leads to violence against homeless people.
They’re people too and they deserve a place to be. The solution to homelessness is not just moving them to another side of town, but among other things reducing the cost of apartments and houses.
Do Not Interact
On tumblr it could be added to a bio like so “minors DNI” or some other category of people you didn’t want interacting with your blog
from this blog post it seems, that the ‘meh’ key is inspired by the ‘Hyper’ key. Both being Aliases for hard to reach key-combinations.
I think the reason they don’t have a Wikipedia article (yet), is because they are aliases for combinations rather than “real” keys.
Meh seems to be the combination of <Alt+Ctrl+Shift>.
Furries are about human-like animals, or perhaps rather animal-like humans. The drawings and costumes they have are very humanlike and most of them are closer to being a human with fur/scales than anything else. Beastiality is wrong and it has nothing to do with being a furry.
It feels like you’re looking for something to be angry about. Why can’t you just accept that some people are having fun and nobody is getting hurt ?
