Yeah they were annoying. So were the pseudointillectual douchebags (I would know I was one). So were the jocks. So was basically everyone. Kids are annoying. Banning child behavior for being annoying is part of the creation of a less free society for no good reason.
Alternatively, why not just.. let people be themselves and weird? Because they were annoying to you? So many people are annoying for one reason or another, do we need to discipline them for it? Moreover, should we? Or would that just be limiting our expression and enforcing uniformity?
Man they are still caught up on that fake story somebody sent to one of these morons claiming kids were using litter boxes in school. It never happened but they're going to try to legislate it away anyway.
The lesson here is don't troll these idiots, they'll fucking believe it and then start passing idiotic laws for non-problems.
And when you try and tell anyone who bought it they say there is evidence, while never being able to provide any.

Throwback to when 4chan started memeing about pizzas, and the resulting chain of events led to a real pizza parlor being shot up by a right-wing nut job who thought it was full of pedophiles.
I don’t see how they ignored an actual case of sexual assault at a pizza parlor…oh it’s because he was a Republican mega donor.
Also, the Google results for ‘Vander Esch assault pizza ranch’ have at least five different “digital newspapers” pushed to the top of the results with a different story that does not match the record of the legal proceedings.
I bark at them using my very human vocal cords (I don't even have any other). Prove me on court that I was not using human vocal cords to bark. Or maybe I was using totally non-human made recording-speaker device?
Or maybe my 1.7m tall fursuit was designed to be weared by my cat? No way even lololong house cat could be that big. (lie, I don't own a fursuit, in any size, but point still apply).
Oh I know! Some tailed buttplugs were totally designed for pets and it is all about being pet care!
Students who bark, meow, hiss or make other animal noises that are not human speech
I'm not quite sure what it is exactly (/s), but maybe—just maybe—this is yet another attempt to fuck over and ostracize transfem and autistic people, but instead of being direct about it, using furries as the boogeyman.
There are very many normal human sounds that are not speech, including, but not limited to: laughter, crying, yelling/screaming/yelping (in surprise, pain, fear), groaning, moaning, yawning, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, singing, whistling.
What constitutes human speech? There are languages that have sounds that don't exist in other languages (said as someone still trying to get a hold on rolling my Rs).
In any case, we should all learn some sign language. Seriously, it's useful to be able to communicate silently or just visually (e.g. Across a noisy room), plus it makes life way more inclusive for Deaf people.
Also to arrest basically any kindergartner.
I fully agree but it's really only associated with transfem people because of the high rates of autism in our community
I wonder how much of this is borne out of the hysteria over kids supposedly using litter boxes.
I had some gomer on the Denver Post forums that kept insisting it was not only a thing, but an epidemic. I kept asking him for the supposed evidence of this claim, all he could say was that he "talks to lots and lots of parents and teachers" and "the media won't report on it".
It's trivial to verify. Slap 20 bucks on the table and say "20 bucks you can't list a location with a litterbox for furries"
“talks to lots and lots of parents and teachers” and “the media won’t report on it”.
Ain't gonna get you 20 bucks. Need a location. If you get a location, call 'em. They'll confirm or deny. (They're gonna deny)
That'll get you a claim that they'd deny regardless of veracity
They're going after easy targets like schools because if they targeted furries in the state government, all of the IT infrastructure would crumble.
Texans, next time you look at the prices in the grocery store, remember that this is what your representatives are spending their time on.
Imposing this bullshit on children who often have vivid imaginations and like to play make believe shows just how much the Republican party actually cares about children.
meow
Filing this under “Closeted conservative so ashamed of their kink that, instead of discussing their feelings with a therapist, psychiatrist, or even a trusted friend, believe everyone must share their taboo thoughts and therefore be preëmptively punished to stamp out the contagion since the only honorable alternative is undergoing apoptosis like some malfunctioning cell”.
Play Duck Duck Goose? Jail
Face paint? Beleive it or not Jail
Old McDonald? Straight to jail
Can we still say "what's up, dawg?"
It is funny that the litter box story was taken as gospel.
What a time to be alive.
So they're scared of people becoming furries. I know a few furries, not in the scene myself but furries are genuinely some of the nicest people I know. And also this bill seems ableist because I knew an autistic person that would growl whenever he had a meltdown. He wasn't a furry, it was just how he was wired.
Licking oneself or others for the purpose of grooming or maintenance.
Good luck trying to enforce that. Most people lick a small wound on their hands an fingers. It's our subconscious that triggers that.
It’s incredible that republicans can constantly waste tax dollars on worthless shit like this and still be viewed as the party of financial responsibility by their dumb ass voting base
I can’t wait for all IT infrastructure in Texas to get compromised over this. The amount of excellent it and comp sci guys that are furries is staggering. And there are a few online collectives that can and will do damage to personal and government entities over shit like this
