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.
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.
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.
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.
much like how pedophiles will excuse jerking it to loli by justifying it with “no no, bro, she’s actually a 10,000 year old dragon goddess, she just looks 12!”, furries justify wanting to fuck a dog by saying the dog talks.
It really is just that simple, sport. Fetishizing animals is not okay. And you can use all the mental gymnastics you want to bullshit yourself with so you can sleep at night, but at the end of the day, nobody else is obligated to indulge you in them.
Lets get something straight first before I disseminate your argument: I do not watch furry porn myself, I am a furry who enjoys sfw furry art and I’m trying to defend the community against false accusations like yours.
Furry porn is based on fictional characters with fictional properties. What doesn’t exist in real can exist in fiction, like an anthropomorphic animal. If you want to see the difference between an anthropomorphic animal and a non-anthropomorphic animal you can compare the following two subs: [email protected] and [email protected].
Also, morality can get messy in the realm of fiction, take pokémon for example, it depicts animalfights organized by humans for their pleasure. Would it then be wrong to watch pokémon?
And [email protected] proves that there is more to the furry community than furry porn, since the mahority of the posts are sfw, making your generalization false. Or take the exiatence of fursona’s, where people make an anthropomorphic version of themselves.
And one last thing: even IF it was all an excuse to watch bestialityporn, even then the idea that all furries are animalfuckers is false. Because there is still a difference between watching certain drawn content and actually indulging in it in real life.
If this community is cool with furries please lmk so I can block your entire community

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.

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.

tis a disturbing future we live in.
Furries and animal-fuckers are different groups. And if you’re lumping them together, you’re bound to get criticized for it.
FYI: furries are people with an interest/love for anthropomorphic animals.
actually they’re not, but I forgive your mistake
Replying from an alt-account because the other instance doesn’t show your message.
Could you explain how and why I am wrong?
much like how pedophiles will excuse jerking it to loli by justifying it with “no no, bro, she’s actually a 10,000 year old dragon goddess, she just looks 12!”, furries justify wanting to fuck a dog by saying the dog talks.
