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.

      Whenever I see someone say "Furries aren't a protected class," the unspoken conclusion is usually "and therefore it's okay to harass them, dox them, sabotage their projects, DDOS their websites, steal their money, and generally just try to make their lives worse."

      I'm not saying that's your intent here, but my history with that statement has less-than-good implications.

        It's really not.

          "I'm not a dog person" doesn't mean I want all dogs to die horribly. This is where some leftists start losing me. It's like how libs like to strawman every criticism of their party.

      I think the argument isn't that it isn't off-putting to many, but rather it would best serve our comrades & thus our efforts by refraining from proclaiming that publicly, especially within leftist spaces.

      Is fat-shaming cool too because it's not a protected class?

      Yes, I cringe at some things I see too, but why ridicule when I'm the one who doesn't understand it?
