I'm a big fan of the maxim that how people talk about furries tells you a LOT about how deep their progressive ideals actually run.

There are way too many self proclaimed leftists who either want to or feel compelled to reflexively shit on furries, because they're the designated punching bags that it's OK to mock. This, despite the fact that furries aren't harming anyone.

I don't get furry kinks. I don't get spending thousands of dollars on a fursuit. I don't get the fursona thing. I do know enough to know that for most furries it's not a kink, furry porn is only consumed by a very small subset of the community, and a lot of self-identified furries probably can't afford a fursuit.

But most of all, I know they're not hurting anyone. So who the fuck cares what they do with their time and money, or how they get off, or fucking whatever? It's none of my god damn business.

I hope every furry is having a good time, and I hope you all get an abundance of head pats.

And I wish that the so-called leftists who keep punching down on them would find someone actually worth shitting on to be mean to instead.

Like Nazis. It's always good to be mean to Nazis.

I don’t disagree with the sentiment. BUT, being economic left doesn’t have anything to do with accepting furries..

Lib left, lib right ~ those are the political ideologies who should be in favor and support of liberal ideals (such as “be whoever and whatever you want to be as long as it’s not hurting someone else”).. It has nothing to do with the economic left
