There is nothing wrong with having sexual fetishes.
Are they hurting anybody ? No
Are they are they different from the mainstream ? Yes, and sometimes when people see something new, they get angry. We shouldn't get angry, but instead try to be open and cool with it.
Furries are NOT seeking out other people and harassing them. They're just having fun with likeminded people.
Diversity is good and I'm happy every time I see someone else being happy and enjoying something.
Furries are not hurting anyone - they're just enjoying themselves and having a good time.
Stuff like that makes the world a nice place to be.
You're spreading unnecessary hate and being a dickhead. Try enjoying life a bit.
That's a bigoted thing to say.
There is nothing wrong with being a furry. Why don't you want your kid to do whatever makes them happy ?
I don't think it needs to be shoehorned at all.
I see this just as a small quality of life improvement of how it already works.
I think it would actually represent the way Lemmy works better than the way it works now :)
I am actually not sure, whether this needs to be fixed in the Lemmy source code or in the mastodon source code.
Especially the way communities work on mastodon annoys me. I would love to follow some communities on mastodon, but I've had to unfollow all of them, because the comments take up my entire feed.
And the comments show up without the context of the original post, so I have to click on the comment, to enter the post thread it is a part of, and then scroll all the way to the top to see the post it is related to.
Maybe something about activity pub makes it hard to change, but it would be nice if it could be fixed :)
What is the perceived intent of the comment ?
Nothing wrong with being a furry <3
(posting this comment just to make sure everyone here agrees)
The post is not just about calling people derogatory names, it is also about flying a drone with a voice message. When push comes to shove, the voice message is a threat of calling the police. Where are the crackheads going to go now ?
They have no other place to be. So asking them to leave is just asking them to go to a new place, and then a new place after that and so on, while each day some of them die due to cold, violence and other accumulating factors.
This is a systematic issue, and we need to fix the system and be compassionate, rather than just push poor people around.
I agree, but we should get mad about the root of the problem, not the symptom.
We should definitely get rid of "crackheadness", but I think we should do it by building a better system and supporting each other.
Most people, who call other people "crackheads" have not seen those people take drugs. They use the word because of how the other people look.
Being called a crackhead more often than not means "looks like a homeless person".
Furries are about human-like animals, or perhaps rather animal-like humans. The drawings and costumes they have are very humanlike and most of them are closer to being a human with fur/scales than anything else. Beastiality is wrong and it has nothing to do with being a furry.
It feels like you're looking for something to be angry about. Why can't you just accept that some people are having fun and nobody is getting hurt ?
