Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

You read text, you don't listen to it
You must have come from 10 years ago because nobody has opinions as cringe and childish as "furries bad zoophiles" anymore
Nah that's not how the world works buddy. Only children think in binaries.
You asked two questions and tell me to give you one answer. Nice try senator.
Also a majority of things require answers more complex than a simple "yes" or "no", because the world isn't the simple land that it seems to be in your head. However, luckily for you, these questions do have relatively simple yes-or-no answers.
To your first question: No, furries don't by default sexualize animals. It's weird that you even come to the conclusion that they do.
To your second question: Also no. You can argue that furry art is usually depictions of animals, and that furry porn sexualizes those depictions, but even that's pretty shaky because anthropromorphized beings that have a vague resemblance to animals are hard to argue as being similar enough to the real thing that it's "sexualizing (a depiction of) [animal]". I wouldn't call you out on saying that furry drawings are depictions of animals, even though I think that's flawed logic, but it's not even remotely similar to "sexualizing animals" (e.g. zoophilia)
also this
Unluckily for you, my friend, I took a screenshot when you posted that since I had a feeling you would edit your mistake out. You may be playing chess in 4 dimensions, but I'm playing chess in 7 dimensions. Get pranked lol
As someone with some insight: furries tend to have body dysphoria. They really don’t feel great about their body and want escapism.
Personally I had a very “you are dirty and disgusting” type upbringing from my christian parents that thought shame would be a good motivator.
its okay for someone to edit their comment to correct mistakes.
Goodness, that's an awful lot of words, champ! In fact, I think that's more than one -- and seems to have lots of mental gymnastics to boot, from what I skimmed -- silly, don't you know how to read directions? Here, let me help you out.
Now, you go and have a little reading time, I'm gonna give you a break from my inbox. Come back when you've learned to count to one, and try again.
Clearly your reading comprehension is kaputt because I gave simple "no" answers for your "question". It's even bolded.
pretty sure animals aren't asexual
