angry.
like i don't get it they take it so seriously and they treat like it's some like gender or sexuality thing when like? it's something that you choose to do? you can't expect people not to treat you differently when u wander around some civilized place dressed as a florescent dog like wtf. i don't understand. i guess what i can compare it to (on a smaller level) is like playing an instrument. like im a violin player and we get jokes like "oh violin players r such divas" or whatever all the time and like it's fine bc it's just something u sign up for when u decide to play the instrument. furries need to chill.

What do you think the F in LGBTF stands for, Miles? Freshmen? Froyo? The hit American television show Friends? You think we're letting Ross into our community like that? No. It stands for furry.

it's like going out in public where only a loincloth or something. it's not socially acceptable by the majority of ppl and everyone's gonna think it's weird and make jokes and u just gotta accept and not get all worked up. anyone who chooses to do something against the grain shouldnt be surprised when there is backlash.

In all seriousness, I think there's a big difference between a person who has a fursona that they like to draw and maybe wants to go to a few cons to hang out with people with similar interests, and a super pushy, sexual furry who thinks kink is inherently ~queer~ and thinks it's morally wrong for people to want to distance themselves from y*ff of it all. I don't personally want to fault the people in the first group At All because they're just having fun with their hobby, so if you or your friends fall into that group, like, it's cool with me.
I do think this speaks to kind of a bigger issue - one that transcends furries, in a sense - of people treating all deviant behavior as something you can be oppressed for just because they perceive LGBT people as deviants and find ~similarities~ in their ~struggles~. And like, that goes way, way beyond some dudes in fursuits.

Re: deviant behaviors, the thing is, if we crack open our sociology textbook here, yes, LGBT people are technically engaging in deviance, because they're acting against societal norms and such. But there are two super important things that differentiate the LGBT experience from like, the kink experience or the wearing weird clothes in public experience or the liking an embarrassing fandom experience. 1.) Institutional oppression. There are certain things that LGBT people are potentially unable to access by virtue of being LGBT - and yes, before someone decides to @ me, Americans have marriage equality now, which is lit, but not every state has, say, protection from employment discrimination or protection from discrimination by business owners. And even when they do, there's de jure discrimination - i.e., legal - and de facto discrimination - the way that people just naturally behave because of their biases, whether they realize they're doing it or not. You can tell adoption agencies that they must legally consider LGBT parents, but you can't prevent a pregnant person from finding some legal excuse not to give them a baby. Furries - or other kinksters, or Bronies, or, like, if we're open to digging up dead discourse, lithoromantic heterosexual people - don't experience that same level of oppression. Yes, they experience judgment, and yes, that might hurt, and yes, if we're being technical, LGBT people are also heavily judged by society! But whether there's any kind of tangible hurt backing up that judgment makes all the difference in the world. It's not the same thing unless your boss is firing you for drawing that sparkledog, you know? 2.) Choice. You can't choose who you're attracted to (or what gender you are), but you do get to choose what you do for fun and what you do for, ahem, fun, winky face. You can stop the latter two things whenever. I'm not saying that you always should, or that it doesn't suck to feel like people want you to, but you have that option. On the other hand, even if you retreat into the closet for the rest of eternity, you still have to carry being LGBT with you for as long as you live - and that means carrying all of the implications and all of the pain, too. There's no easy out. There never will be. Idk, I feel like I'm arguing with nobody here, lmao, but I do wanna clarify my view and the specific things that bother me about kink is queer!!! discourse, because I don't want anyone to take my posts the wrong way. If it doesn't describe you, it's not about you, you know?

speaking as someone who likes to rp/write about [non-anthro] animals a lot more then people, I completely agree with this. like I don't judge people who like to draw themselves as an anthro wolf, but a lot of furries are just rlly creepy about their interest.
and furries who act like being a furry is a sexuality need to Stop
