That word is the key part of the sentence, but you keep making statements and inferences which amount to putting words in my mouth.
That said,
I don’t go out of my way to make fun of furries, but a lot of people do. Why? Probably because it’s ridiculous, cringy, and weird. But you do you. Also, on a practical note… The logistics of fursuits (as in humping in them, getting them all sweaty, cum all over the inside, soaking them in a bathtub, and scrubbing them out) is just fucking nasty.
But it’s your hobby, go wild. But don’t bother getting buttmad when people make fun of you for it.
This entire comment is fundamentally not nice. Even disregarding the first part, the fact that you go to this much trouble to express your revulsion of furries is rather mean spirited. Like, I’m not a furry, but imagine being one and reading what you just wrote. There is no reason why you couldn’t have kept that to yourself. Try to be a bit more understanding, yeah?
I don’t have any revulsion to furries. I simply don’t care. They don’t effect me in any real way.
What I do have a very big problem with is furries trying to somehow make themselves a part of the LGBTQ community. Imagine for a second that it actually happened. The LGBTQ community welcomes furries with open arms. At that point you have undermined the entire movement! Sure, me and other lefties like me are always going to support LGBTQ. But what about the ton of people that sit in the middle of the road that have no dog in the fight one way or the other? Instinctively they know that supporting LGBTQ is correct, and the right thing to do.
But then all of the sudden furries become part of that group. At that point you’ve probably lost most of those middle of the road type of people.
People love to think of this as right-wing versus left wing, and yes that is a big part of it, but the thing is that the vast majority of people are actually more in the middle. They generally lean right or left of the middle but those people in particular will go right sometimes or sometimes they’ll go left depending on what it is. We need those people. Those people help Lefties get elected and indirectly help affect change.
Imagine what kind of a field day right-wingers would have with that. The attack ads write themselves. It would be an absolute shit show and the LGBTQ movement would be essentially dead in the water. Don’t forget that literally half of the fucking idiots “very good people” on the right believe that teachers were putting kitty litter in classrooms.
For someone who doesn’t care, you put an awful lot of time and effort into talking about how you don’t care.
Regardless, as mentioned by others, this does not provide license to belittle others for their choices. I don’t get the whole furry thing, but as others choosing that hobby doesn’t affect me, meh. The right has plenty on the outrage buffet before furries enter the picture, so their existence and interconnectedness with the queer community doesn’t move the needle the way you’re claiming.
In general I don’t care about furries one way or another. As I stated, what I do care about is furries trying to position themselves under the LGBTQ umbrella. I care a lot about that, and you should as well.
Fuck me you are thick.
