Are furries prudes? (lemmy.nz)

Drag knows that being a furry isn't all about sex. It's mostly about liking cartoon animals. But nonetheless, drag did have a preconception of the furry community being a generally sex-positive space due to all the queer floating around. Drag recently had a bizarre experience in which a community of furries was weirdly particular about a certain dirty joke, which had never been a problem in other online communities. Are furries really sex negative compared to most people?

One joke that is apparently risque enough that OP didn't want to include it in the post?

Yeah, I'm thinking the furries weren't the problem

The joke is that drag's username was, until recently, Dragon "Rider". Because "ride" has multiple meanings. A number of furries said that drag's username is too bawdy to say, even without quotes.

Lol, those specific people are fucking pansies; ignore them, but don't paint the whole community the same colour as them

My general experience has been that furries are people, and people aren't homogeneous - so even if they share some traits it's not fair to make blanket assumptions.

I'm reserving judgment until I hear what the joke is. Not really enough to go on otherwise.

Yeah I’m not prudish by any means, but could easily be put off if someone made an inappropriate joke at my expense. It would really be context dependent

I'm not a furry, but was the joke making fun of furries?

Were the people responding to the joke itself, or were they blindly downvoting you because of your use of a third-person neo-pronoun?

The furry fandom is one of the most sex positive subcultures there is.
