I dunno, I've just noticed little comments and things here and there on Chapo and TrueAnon for example that kinda gives me the impression that they either don't take the subject seriously or don't care.

    Uh, I do think a lot of the scorn some internet places have for furries is gross, and I have no problem with furries, even know a few IRL.

    But most furries I've meet, online and real life, describe it like it's a hobby, a hobby that is also sometimes a sexual kink but not always. I wouldn't compare that to a disability. And I like lite mocking of people's hobbies is generally fine, I mean people do it all the time. I do home brewing and people give me shit for being a breaded white douche who probably listens to Fleet Foxes, and hey, guilty as charged.

        I bought a promo copy of Helplessness blues on vinyl because a girl I was interested in ten years ago mentioned she liked them and I wanted to see if I would. It's.not really my jam and now every time I skim my record collection I see it and think about how that was a double strike out. Wish it was worth something so I could sell it and get that new Grateful Dead box set that just came out.

      I think that's true, but the main post of the test is that you're not going to immediately go on some tirade about furries being "removed" or bring them up out of nowhere to make fun. A well placed joke that's actually funny is probably ok with the right context and audience.

      I've heard that the furry community has a (very) significant number of queer and nd people within it which is the main reason you wouldn't want to go too hard on them. It might be the only place they feel comfortable being themselves.
