"smut may only be 100% realistic. We cannot have smutty fiction engage in any fetishes or fantasies ever."

I know cis women who are into stuff like cumflation or being able to feel ovulation in a pleasurable way. This is just a twitter user self-reporting as being boring at best, puritanically anti-kink at worst.

On a side note: I found it wild that you average straight person thinks that wearing a collar, calling someone a good girl/boy and/or going "woof" in bed is extremely kinky. That's entry-level for furries.

I find it interesting how the furry community has transformed over the years. It was very politically neutral when I discovered it as a teenager. Now, about +15yrs later, it's very left leaning and it seems like a lot of furries tend to be relatively politically active. It's kinda wild.

After I gained awareness, it took me another 10 yrs to start hrt due to a mix of factors. Don't be like me. Don't put it off, it does more psychic damage to yourself than you'd think.

What do you mean by this?

I want to live right there. Put my PC under an overhang so it doesn't get rained on, and then I'll just live in the foliage.

God, the number of people here who don't know what "more likely" means is insane. Just because you aren't trans, enby or disabled doesn't mean the study is bullshit because you hate AI. It means that if you walk up to a random person and ask them about AI, they're more likely to hate it if they exist in one of those groups.

Secondly, studies like this have value because they can clue people into issues that a community is having. If everyone is neutral about a thing, except for disabled people (who hate it), then maybe that means that the thing is having a disproportionately negative impact on disabled people. Studies like this are not unlike saying "hey, there's smoke over there, there might be a fire."

Girl, I've seen what it looks like when a cis man leans on their girlfriend or wife as their sole source of emotional support. I've seen how stressful it is when they expect for you to act as their social circle and plan events for them; and I've not just seen one cis guy do it, I've seen several. I've had someone do it to me. It's not my job to fix someone. I cannot be an emotional crutch for someone who won't get a therapist or refuses to make friends on their own. I have a lot of my own problems I'm dealing with, some of which are fairly significant; I don't need someone else being dependant on me.

Maybe you've had better experiences. I haven't, nor have a number of the people I know.

Edit: it's one thing to vent, it's another thing to expect solutions.

I'm really only interested in dating other women because of this. I've seen how stressful it is to be your partner's therapist, social circle and keeper of affairs. I really don't want that. Sure, there are women with the same issues, but they aren't nearly as common.

It isn't our fault nor is it our job to make up for your own social failings. I don't have the time or energy for that.

Edit: men don't like it when they're told women aren't the cause or solution to their problems, got it!

I'm a trans gal in Texas. I'm clueless on how to escape and I'm terrifying.

root cause of suffering and stress is [...] magga

Yeah? I think most people agree that MAGA causes a lot of suffering and stress.

Hey, I recently received a 14-day ban from lemmy.ml for this comment:

While I suppose it wasn't the nicest thing I could have said, here's what bothers me. They cited rule 1 as the ban reason. Now, lemmy.ml's news community doesn't have its own rules section, so I was left to assume that they were applying the instance-wide "rule 1" which was, "no bigotry".

No Bigotry.

Apparently calling someone a tankie and a redfash accelerationist is bigotry? Are they seriously trying to equate being a tankie with being trans, gay, black and/or native american? Seriously? That's incredibly bigoted and offensive; and that's ignoring the fact that the common tankie idols like Stalin, Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un are deeply intertwined with things like nationalism, ethnic superiority, queerphobia and the like.

Meanwhile, their modlog shows that they've dealt with multiple instances of actual queerphobic bigotry by removing the comment while also letting the user go.

Do we really want to be associated with bigots like that?

The thing that sucks is that there are communities I genuinely enjoy on lemmy.ml, however getting banned for bigotry after calling someone a tankie and redfash accelerationist while actual bigots are allowed to keep hanging out on lemmy.ml is like a slap to the face.

I'm honestly considering leaving Lemmy and social media at this point. It seems like my two choices are corporate-owned black-box algorithms populated by soft-spoken bigots and pissed-off centrists looking for an axe to grind, and FOSS-based federated platforms where you still have to tolerate bigotry because there apparently aren't enough users and interesting content otherwise.

Inb4 I start getting harassed by lemmy.ml admins or something.

Edit for people who are curious: it's not Photoshop, it's a troodontid mask made by Archesuchus for their "Weird Birds" series. Here's what it looks like under normal lighting conditions.

Not gonna lie, I really, really want one. But fursuit heads are expensive (I'm assuming the cost would be similar since that's basically what it is) and I don't have the skill or tools to make one myself. :c

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Description: A giant snake lady sits in a lake. A man stands next to the edge of the lake and asks, "O snake of the lake, what is your wisdom?"

The snake replies, "Osamu Tezuka, the inventory of manga and anime, created old-school furry icons like Kimba and Bagi and had a secret collection of erotic furry art that he made which was only found after his death; so weebs are really just a human-focused offshoot of furries.
