Also porn
Why do people feel the need to censor words when they are posting a topic that contains the words...if it offends the poster so much, DONT POST IT.
Did you watch the video before disagreeing with it? We've had the concept of clickbait titles for quite a while now, so it would be silly if someone still hasn't realized how they work. It unsurprisingly does not say that furry porn is objectively "hotter", but moreso that it's objectively healthier, for both participants and emotional state. There are lessons to learn by comparison and study, instead of sticking our heads in the sand and pretending that there are no problems with the porn industry.
There is nothing healthy about pretending you’re a wolf and wanting to fuck someone dressed as a horse.
There is nothing healthy about retreating into some fantasy that you’re deep down actually a random animal.
There’s nothing healthy about attraction to animal body characteristics.
Stop sticking your head in the sand and pretending there are no problems with furries.
You have a very misguided view of what being a furry really is based on some of the loudest weirdos that also happen to be furries.
I’m sorry are you saying furry porn is consumed by the minority of furries?
And if so, I take it you also disagree with the premise of this video that furry porn is healthier than human porn?
I mean there aren't any victims in furry porn since they're drawings of completely fictional characters. Nobody is even running the risk of being exploited in furry porn.
Being addicted to porn is unhealthy no matter what type of porn it is; but that's not what the video is about.
That’s like saying there’s no victims in AI kiddie porn.
The concept is the problem, not just the execution.
The concept of checks notes "having a fantasy" is a problem? Are you high? Shit's only a problem if it becomes an addiction and starts affecting your life negatively. Which again, has zip to do with the type of content.
So you have no problem with a person fantasising about raping children as long as they don’t act on it?
I personally think that sort of behaviour needs mental help. And certainly not large communities built around reinforcing that fantasy.
If the discussion was about CP and not furry porn you might have a convincing argument there.
The concept of checks notes "having a fantasy" is a problem?
I presented an undeniable example of how having a ”fantasy” is a problem.
That's not really how furries work so you might want to work a little harder if you're going to designate yourself as the puritan police of what people are allowed to like. Let me know when you've moved on to how gay sex is unnatural and trans people aren't real.
No.
We suffer real crimes, I could be murdered for who I love in large swathes of the world.
Furries are not LGBT adjacent, furries are closer to paedophilia/necrophilia/etc in that it’s an unhealthy attraction.
Unhealthy designated by you, the puritan police? Do you know that the anti-LGBT people also consider being gay unhealthy? They're drawing the line in a different place, but still playing the same role you are. Would you recommend shock therapy for furries, or is that just a cure for being gay? If you're so concerned with how the furry fandom works you should maybe actually research your bigotry and learn that it's massive, and no two furries express themselves in the same way. Many do not have overlapping interests at all. You are on the fediverse, so I'd suggest you get comfortable with the idea that people are allowed to exist without your permission.
Furries by nature are either attracted to animal aesthetics or think they are one.
That is not healthy, accept it.
That is again not even close to a correct definition, and it is interesting that you think yourself the best person to judge something that you don't know the first thing about.
Sure buddy 👍
Giving up when facing any opposition seems like you never really intended on improving your worldview. You just want to be hateful of things that you don't understand. The irony of you thinking that those who oppose the LGBT are any different is not lost on me. It's easy to punch down on things that you don't personally like, but those are real people that you're targeting with your malice. I'm not a furry, but I am gay, and as an LGBT member yourself you should understand the power of being an ally to a minority that often gets painted in a bad light. Doubly so when ~80% of furries are LGBTQIA+ in the first place; it's an LGBT subculture.
You’re not opposing me, you’re just advocating for some fucked up shit that the world would be a better place for if people got help.
I’m sorry but just the same as any other harmful attraction, I cannot condone this one either.
It is repeatedly hilarious that you pretend that these arguments are any different than the ones homophobes are using. What is the harm, exactly?
In attraction to animals? That should be self explanatory.
In delusional fantasies? Rejection of basics of reality.
You keep using the word "animal", but anthropomorphic cartoons are not real animals. Attraction to real animals is not what being a furry is. (You already know this, you are using the term in a loaded way in order to say one thing but mean another) (this unfortunately does not convince anyone).
There's nothing inherent to being a furry that demands a "delusional fantasy" (you would know this if you knew what furries are). You call yourself Deceptichum and have a transformers avatar - you may be at risk of being in a "delusional fantasy" if that's how you want to classify the people with anonymous names and furry avatars!
So where is the part where the "world is a worse place" because of furries?
