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.
I'll counter with the Catholic religion is full of sexual iconography and myths. It's all sex, always has been.
Going through the released Epstein files there was a picture of a ~20 year old woman prostrating naked in front of a giant image of Jesus. That stuff definitely gets creepy too.
I wonder how many communities I'll be banned from by the end of the day for being honest about things that seem creepy and having it called "transphobia."
Spiders creep me out. Sometimes clowns. People who live at the Renne Faire and never break character? Maybe a little. Millipedes and Centipedes for sure, those are definitely creepy. Some basements when the lights are off. Maybe most basements.
Yeah that mod overstepped. As much as you are abrasive sometimes, I don't think you're transphobic for this opinion. Too bad they mod the powertrippingbastards community when they are a powertripping bastard themselves lol
Consenting adults doing consenting adult things, even if some may think it's creepy, is completely fine and should be allowed and protected. It's ok to think it's creepy IF you aren't attacking others for it and trying to stop them.
All 8 billion of us are never going to like all the same things and agree on all of the same things. It would be nice if we could be honest but not hate and try to change or murder each other. I will never support someone for eating olives, because ick. But also I try to not suggest starting lynch mobs to hunt them all down.
It bugs me a lot when people use false accusations of racism to make someone look bad and themselves look like the victim, because it demeans every real awful thing people live through. Hopefully one day this person realizes that. You can use that as a lie to get people on your side quickly, but it's breaking trust and demeaning the struggles of the people you're claiming to support.
