If this community is cool with furries please lmk so I can block your entire community
the unfortunate reality is that animal fuckers are becoming more and more commonly accepted on the internet as a whole -- and expressing any opinion to the contrary is likely to get angry dogfuckers ranting and raving in your inbox.
tis a disturbing future we live in.
I've had to block so many furry, hentai, and furry hentai communities on here... What is it about Lemmy that brought so many users who get off to dog dicks?
Ooh, I actually know this, and it's kinda hilarious. Lemmy tends to trend more techy, with a lot of emphasis on Linux communities. Furries are generalized as being stereotypically prevalent in IT, with a general joke of a plane crash full of furries could cripple an IT sector. Over 50% of furries are in STEM fields, with 28% of those surveyed in IT, 12% in science, and 12% in engineering (these numbers are from 2011, and a later survey was done in 2019, but I haven't been able to find results).
Additionally, Lemmy tends to lean left politically, with a lot of emphasis on communities that are for trans rights, such as servers like blahaj.zone. Furries lean very much left politically socially, though they tend to skew right economically (numbers from 2013).
In short, furries are here because Lemmy matches their interests beyond the furry community. Aside from their love of dog dicks, you'd likely get along pretty well with them.
I'd probably have as hard a time getting over the dog-dick thing as they seem to lol. If animal sex (simulated or otherwise) is a core part of someone's personality, I don't think we're gonna get along, and I'm far from upset about that. I also don't think it's doing any good for LGBTQ+ acceptance to be associated with.
LGBTQ+ acceptance isn't about throwing specific people under the bus in order to win the favor of bigots. That's what the right-wing gays are doing when they speak out against trans people, as if being gay is fine but being trans is a bridge too far. As for kinkshaming just read up on anything regarding keeping kink out of pride. I don't share everyone else's kinks either but I fully support their right to have them.
While a slight-to-decent majority of furries appear to be in the LGBTQ+ community (at least according to Wikipedia), I'd hope that no one would say "Because you're accepting of the LGBTQ+ community, even if you're straight and don't identify as part of that community, you must be part of the furry community." Just because there's LGBTQ+ people into odd kinks like bondage, humiliation, sounding, etc., there's no reason you would have to be interested in those things to be supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. Same thing with furries.
None of your downvotes mean anything - if you’re sexually attracted to “fake animals” or their “suits” or any other side-step variation of romanatic (or god forbid any other variation) with fucking animals, then I want nothing to do with you and I’m sure the LGTBQ community as a whole would agree. Especially considering animals can’t consent and you wanna RP that
Now if you just like dressin up as a goofy ass animal, and that’s where the line is drawn, do you boo.
As far as I know being a furry isn't about sexual attraction to animals, that's a misunderstanding on your part I'm pretty sure.
Pretty much. Generally speaking furries are fans of anthropomorphic characters, which inherently require a human component.
A lot of the hate the furry fandom gets is carryover from it being a very LGBT positive space in the early days of the internet, when that was a significantly less popular opinion to have. This led to a lot of false rumors (and one really inaccurate csi episode) getting spread around.
This video does a decent dive into the history of the whole thing. Basically it started from larger animation studios wanting to censor artists, leading to a bunch of artists getting together and putting all their weird stuff in one place.
The anti-furry dogwhistle is overwhelmingly used for anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments. The furry community is almost fully LGBTQ+ (80%+), and the idea that the LGBTQ+ community would be at odds with them shows that you are really misunderstanding the point of the rainbow flag. As the OP meme notes, furries have part of the LGBTQ+ community for a very long time and if you think this is some new phenomenon I really wonder what you're doing trying to speak for us.

Ignoring everything else I could say about your comment: What's wrong with RPing non-consensual situations?
Thank you! Someone finally said it
People who don’t think furrys are sexual haven’t accidentally been invited to a furry party in San Francisco like I have. Trust me, they are pretending to be dogs fucking, and it crosses the beastiality line.
Furrys are not a part of the LGBTQI+ community.
They may not be part of your LGBTQ+ community, but there's a large percentage of furries that are LGBTQ+, so they're mostly a part of the same overall communities, with, or without their fursuit on.
Honestly, I didn't think there would be this much judgement from members of a community that should know how important inclusion is.
It's fine to not be a furry, it's fine to not want anything to do with furries. This is in the same way that has been yelled at the cisnormatives for a long time. It's okay to be straight, gay, lesbian, queer, trans, bi, (etc), and it's only to not be a part of that as well. Straight people are supporters of LGBTQ+ rights and freedoms, while not being LGBTQ+. I would think that someone who had to fight and struggle with being accepted by society, and in many ways is still shunned and ostracised by some communities, would understand that different isn't bad, and you can support people in their freedom to express themselves, without feeling the need to express yourself in the same manner. That different isn't bad, it's just different.
I'm disappointed right now. Holy heck.
I'm not a furry, and I have no sexual interest in anything that looks like an animal or anthropomorphic animal looking things either, but if that's what they like and enjoy, then fine. As long as they're not going out and engaging in actual bestiality, who cares? (They're not, btw)
Your judgmentalism is showing.
