Interesting. Maybe it's hidden from everyone but you because its downvoted a lot? Or maybe its just hidden on mobile? I guarantee I can't see it.

Friend, I have looked at every single comment. That link is literally not posted anywhere else in the comments on my screen. It either didn't get posted right, or it's been taken down.

Did you...read the article?

OP, I searched every comment on this thread and I don't see any links posted by u/jedi1josh? Did you post the links under a different account?

You, uh...don't understand how income taxes work, huh?

First of all, what?

Second of all, 'were'?

There are astronauts on the ISS every day. All the time. Right now. You can see the ISS with a telescope.

"You think this is an argument?"

Yes, I think this is argumentative: "Furries making their routine attempt to shed the shame of their fetish without actually changing anything about their subjecting other people to it without their consent."

You made an argumentative claim, and I simply, politely, asked you support that claim in literally any way, which you didn't.

You say I need help? Did I say something unhealthy? Unhinged? Please point out what I said that warrant 'help', and maybe also tell me about your psychiatric credentials to make that assessment while you're at it.

Cool, glad to know you had no point/argument an were just spreading hate for fun.

You wanna know my perspective? My bias? I'm personally pretty vanilla with a light BDSM leaning, my older sister is a member of erotic fanfiction spaces, and so my general tilt towards 'fetishes' and 'fetish cultures' is not to judge.

Sex crimes against children or animals are terrible. They're rape.

But I also know that 'they are/shelter pedos' and 'they shelter are/zoophiles' is the oldest fucking false equivalence playbook used on every 'fetishist' and 'deviant' that puritanical religious 'moralists' have deemed 'impure'.

So, you want to tell furries they should be ashamed? Condemn them for subjecting others to their kink non-consensually? Give me a reason.

I think displaying your kink non-consensually is bad. But I need you to help me understand that the community as a whole is largely guilty of that? Because I've not heard that that is the case.

I'm honestly legitimately asking to what you are referring. As a non-furry who has literally never seen a furry in public, and certainly never seen a furry being overtly sexual in public, I don't know what the fuck you're taking about.

A single source or even just personal anecdote would be cool.

When? Where? How? At furry conventions for other furries that are by definition not doing that? Furry internet spaces that are by definition not doing that?

Are you under the completely false impression that furries usually just wear their fursuits/fursonas in their every day life? To school and work and the bank and such?

Also, I'm not a furry or in the furry community at all, but even I understand the basic fact that it isn't a sexual fetish for all of them, and that there's nothing inherently sexual about wearing a fursuit.

I'm confused, who is being subjected to a fetish without consent?
