Toleruleance
I've found that a good way to check for actual tolerance in a group is how they treat their furries.
Also, the furries make the internet work. plz. I need the furry hacking power in the world.

I legitimately don't understand this?
Is this about exluding trans people who are also furries from trans spaces/definitions/whatevers simply bc of the fact they are furries?
H- how does that even work? like what mental gymnastics are necessary for that?!
Probably some trans people disliking furries. It's like how some lesbians don't like trans-women because they're not "real women".
hmmm, but isn't this different even to that?
FARTs (feminism appropriating radical transphobes) use mental gymnastics to deny trans women their "womanhood".
These mental gymnastics seem (from my pov) pretty "basic" when compared to the hoops you'd have to jump through to deny trans people their "transness" with the goal of excluding them simply bc they are also furries.
And more generally "just" excluding furries from trans (or queer) spaces (f.e. for their supposed "indecency") makes as much sense as "banning" the kink & BDSM communities from pride, ie. NONE at all
(not comparing the two in terms of nature/"content" but rather significance/impact)Fart = Terf?
a more fitting acronym, yes
I thought that being a furry isn't necessarily a sexual preference.
It's the "othering" that I think is being talked about, not sexual preference. You're right that being a furry is not a sexual preference (though I know there's a ton of porn related to it).
I think the porn is bordering on being a fetish, which I think is why some people feel a bit squeamish about it. For instance you probably wouldn't want to see s&m/humiliation kink in public, such as making someone have a leash on. Obviously do what you want in private.
... Okay?
Spesifically I made this meme due to some commenters not wanting to respect neo-pronouns. I understood the pronouns as somewhat furry, and thought of the case of furry tolerance (a convo I've had with some friends.)
the reason for dismissing both furries and the spesific neo-pronouns seem to be the same; that it's seen as very sexual
Lotta people think furries are "cringe" and want to assimilate into cis het society by rejecting anything that doesn't look like traditional roles and presentation.
Its shit. Furries harm no one for being furry.
