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.
No? Not to me anyways. The issue with beastiality is the lack of consent. At least, to me? Maybe there's different takes on that, but animals can't consent. So.. when you anthropomorphize them and the wolves start talking? They can now consent, and my problem goes away.
But that's just imagining a fictional scenario in which having sex with an animal is alright. It seems exactly like the anime thing where the girl who looks 10 is actually hundreds of years old so it's totally ok for her to be sexualized for people who want to have sex with children. Saying a character clearly designed to look and act like a child is actually over 18 doesn't make it suddenly become moral. Because it's designed to look like a child. On purpose.
I don't see how anything healthy could come from people imagining scenarios where some people might consider it moral to fuck their dog. It's normalizing something abhorrent and actually makes me more worried now because before I wasn't thinking about people getting themselves used to their fantasy idea an animal can consent to sex with a person and then misinterpreting a wagging tail or a dog bumping it's rear end into you because it itches.
It's just feeding and normalizing something that's in no way alright.
... is anyone doing that? Or are we just making up terrible slippery slopes in our heads?
You've said your only problem with bestiality is consent. Your opinions don't really effect the scales in my mind much after that. However, yes, I've known one guy who very likely did something like that. He was in prison because they found videos of him fucking the family dog on his phone. Given some of the comments in here I'd be far more surprised to find he didn't have similar art and social connections than to find out he did.
