The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

And because we tend to be otherized and discounted, it's important to note what constitutes 'queer porn' is an ever-expanding umbrella in an oppressive, fascist regime, until our very existence is considered 'porn'. Just because you "don't do that stuff" doesn't make you safe from this.

This is a nothingburger.

Max. Does ICE have fursuit heads? No? That's how you can tell. This is a weak argument. Again, it comes off as you wanting to use the muscle of the system and your privilege as a creator to 'condemn' and suppress aesthetics you find unpleasant.

An Israeli company is causing homelessness in the U.S.

If you still don't get it, you can't be helped

Bring back the 1800s asylums specifically for transmed chud bitches I don't gaf
There's 'mentally ill' and there's Mentally Ill

Unlike some dickwads, I'm a firm believer in talking shit to someone's face and rubbing it in reeeeaaal gooood

"Transexual" in bio = mentally ill transmed until proven otherwise and by God there's been little proving with this... thing

You should never take someone with "mean girls" in their bio seriously, deeply mentally rotten and depraved behavior practically leaking through the skin like a foul ooze /neg

Also this is a tone deaf take.

Community led security would fix that. Maybe you could advocate for that instead.

Semi-respectfully, if you have to resort to 'um, er, because you just erm don't do that!' then it's probably not a very solid take.
If you're uncomfy and deep in your feels, just say that. Don't put a moralizing sugarcoating on it.

How exactly will this stop ICE? It sounds like you just dislike other people's aesthetic.

It's neither sensible nor a stopgap. This will do nothing to stop ICE, it's literally just about 'hurr durr scawy military geaw!!!!!'.
"Engagement and expression for me but not for thee."

Been mulling over this and I gotta say, I haven't seen a single time they've ever put in the effort to find any. Respectfully, I'm calling hogwash. It just comes down to more respectability politics, and it's goofy. Expression for me but not for thee.

Amerikkka is a shithole.

Taps the sign bc I swear most Americans have no idea this a thing. 🙃

It's not about money.

its not just trump, its not just republicans, its not just america, its a worldwide, cross-political backlash against anything that isn't boring straight hetero sexuality, and the sooner we grasp the true scope of the issue the sooner we can fight it

Banning all tactical stuff because 'wah wah scawy!!!!' while not even having a decent reason (ICE ain't gonna wear fursuits, that's goofy logic) really is just a microcosm of everything wrong with this Fandom.
Because it's ok to police others' expression when it's 'weird' to you, clearly.

Being made to feel like persona fucking non grata by liberals (as in, non-leftists) for owning a gun and taking a serious view AND wanting to live my life, have hobbies, and engage with things gets really, really fucking old after a while.

Because at what point does this become 'be scared of your local community defenders because big scawy guns n awmor!!!!'?

I would rather like to have plate carrier and some mechanix and an assault shirt and cargo pants with my fursuit head, and I don't feel like I should have to keep that kind of fit just to the range. At what point am I 'allowed' to 'engage' with the fandom with an expression of my interests?

Would love to have a convention where it's fine to express my interests without 'offending people' but it'll never happen because furries are currently stuck on a reactionary binge lmao
Would be nice though fr

A painted portrait of Armistice, my maned wolf character (in-universe species "ourata"). She's sitting on a booth in a saloon, smoking her pipe as she stares intensely at the viewer. There's a large cloud of smoke emanating from her pipe and another being exhaled through her mouth. There's a green stained glass window behind her.

Lil' Greg probably doesn't like this image being all over the internet, but that's what you get when you surround yourself with the tallest jackboots you can find.

Fandom is dead in the water, heyday over, etc
2015 echo era nostalgia
Now we go back to our visual novels and our softcore yiff and mythologize about how good it was
At what point does it stop being a Fandom or a defined 'hobby' and start being the disordered yearning for something better

I guess. I wouldn't want to attend anyways in this political climate, for the simple reason that I wouldn't be able to carry concealed. If it's a 'gun free' zone, it's not safe to me. Really, right now it just feels like the furry 'fandom' is not in the right place to meet any kind of moment.

This argument kinda falls flat if they're a fursuiter though. ICE probably isn't going to rent fursuit heads or whatever to do a sneaky raid. I trust the community to moderate itself. If you don't... then might I ask if the problem is not the right wing furries as a whole?
