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.
Also wanted to mention that this could be a matter of life and death. You start to realize your attractions when you're young. If everyone around a kid is telling them their attractions are wrong, creepy, etc, then they might decide they are unloved and defective and kill themselves. To me that's a tragedy, whatever their attractions happened to be.
If a kid keeps announcing to everyone that he wants to fuck sheep the social reaction to that will not be positive and encouraging.
And that reaction is a bad thing. But I suppose you would be cheering on that child's suicide?
No, but humans are a herd creature and when someone shows extreme abnormal behavior like that it doesn't make for great social relationships.
If another grown adult walked up to me and started talking to me about how much they want to fuck sheep I'd be weirded out and leave. I feel fairly confident in saying most people would do something similar.
Strawman. If someone walked up to me and started talking about how much they wanted to fuck a woman I'd be weirded out too. Has nothing at all to do with anything else.
False equivalence. A person saying they want to fuck a sheep is not at all the same as a person saying they want to fuck another human. One of these things is being overly open with a stranger about normal human behavior. One of them is abnormal in all aspects and entirely immoral.
