'Furries'

[pombear]

OK, seeing as everything is going 'pooof' this evening, just one more flag (sorry MNHQ but I think it's important that the connection is highlighted)

this person twitter.com/Feefers has a social media trail back to other activity this board may have concerns about right now.

Hopefully I've kep it so top-level it doesn't warrant a deletion?

I see words there but they don't seem to have meaning or be in order. Are people writing this or randown word generators?

Sorry Fekko that seems to be what we've been reduced to to say stuff without 'saying stuff'.

I've not got a random word generator here tonight, though sometimes life right now feels like a random word generator of 'woman' 'feelings'' 'floaty stuff'.

I discovered this twitter really easily from going 'forward' on connections we're not allowed to talk about on this forum right now.

Sorry if I look like a bot - I have no idea how to wave this stuff right now without being deleted.

No meant the twitter feed! I understand exactly what you mean!

What on earth is this?

I noticed furries a while ago, a particularly unpleasant shmanzzactivist (I believe the official word is banned) is one and I had a brief dive into the rabbit hole. As it were. I don't understand it. Do they all shag each other while wearing animal costumes or are they just people who can't get anyone to shag them. Or is there more sinister stuff afoot? Christ I feel old sometimes....

I'm just praying that no cis animals are involved. Or cis teddy bears.

Oh phew Fekko - thought you meant me! Though I did feel my initial post was a bit 'random word generator' to avoid deletion through association!

I don’t understand it. What is it? Cartoon fans?

I saw a furry gif today and it was the creepiest thing ever.

Taps nose 😉

Why are the furries wearing nappies?

It was a rabbit furry sitting on a loo and patting the seat for someone to come sit next to.... oh bloody hell, can you misgender furries, I wonder? Um... come sit next to he/she/it/them.

Pachy as I mentioned on last thread that went poof, there's a concerning theme of blurred lines between sex, 'furries' and infantilism, a blurred line between children's cartoons and sex, just a hundred blurred lines.

This is where we're at.

And people in advisory roles who have a slim 'kevin bacon' link to furries.

And there goes the thread again!

I'd always thought dressing up as animals was fun in a festival type way but the sexualised / childlike combo that seems to be going on here is a bit chilling. I'd be interested to know about the childhoods of "furries" like this

Careful still we're going to disappear with talk like that.

Intentionally blurred lines.

I only got 2 minutes into that video kids under 5???

There is definite grooming involved in this kink. A friend of mine supports a young man who is into this, and at their conventions they have an under 18 section where the children are paired up and encouraged to draw pictures of their imaginary cross-species children.

And I just got to the one where the person is asking randoms to sniff the bum of a fox that appears to be wearing a nappy.

The internet has a lot to answer for.

That video is sick

What world have I born my girls in to

I just watched that video stealth. Words fail me.

I think I might just go burn my modem (is it still called a modem?). I've reached peak Internet now.

And this is why the conversation is so important right now.
And thank you to MNHQ for letting us just about hangi on to a tiny silken thread of being able to dicuss this here, despite the external pressures on you.

Many of us here are parents.
Most of us here are women.

We know our gut instinct - what our experiences in the world have taught us.

We can see the links here. We're not saying everyone is like this. But we can see the trends, the links, and also the incredible oppressive atmosphere that is stopping us from making the links.

Thank you too OP. This is the state of play, I see.

At times like this I wonder what Dworkin would have said and done, and act on it.

Rights aren't won, they're defended. That includes our kids' rights.
