Applies to furries as well :)

I am curious what is an acceptable avatar now
The last Airbender, the animated series.

What the fuck is an avatar, do those exist on lemmy?
You can't fool me, Zuko!

I'm sorry, the furry president hasn't been aware of what's going on, but I've sent him an email and it will be dealt with shortly.
Furries are people that like anthropomorphic animals. I'm not responsible for what others do.
Also what's wrong with sex and drugs?

Define "weird".
It might be weird to you, and that's fine, but there's no need to hate on furries.

I know it's crazy to imagine people being silly online, but it's still possible buddy
it's also possible for people to be dumb online, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to try to put a stop to it.

Holy macaroni, the seething. Remember this thread next time Lemmy wants to pretend it's better than Reddit.

I think you might be surprised how round the diagram is of specialists, weebs, and furries is.

Hate? I dont think its hate to be ambivalent.
ambivalence isn’t when you write the opinions of an entire group of people off because they’re weird

Tru. I take it back.

Cop guns really are like "the call of the void" aren't they? All I know is if I'm ever trapped in a Groundhog Day time loop, one of the first things I'm doing is grabbing a cop's gun. I don't want to grab it and shoot anyone with it. I just want to grab it and run off into the distance, cackling with glee like a madman.

Straight to jail I'm afraid.

You know weird means. Don’t be daft.
To clarify my position a bit, I don’t care what people do as long as everyone involved consents, but that doesn’t mean I have to accept it as normal.

There’s a reason that they used “furfag” in the old days
Dude, that was a 4chan thing. It wasn't about "bigotry." Everything had fag added to the end of it. Newfag, oldfag, furfag, gamerfag... hell, I even saw gayfag thrown around a few times, though I'm pretty sure those were fully ironic since only a dolt wouldn't realize the idiocy of it.
And 4chan was filled with bigots. It was a major part of the alt-right pipeline that put America where it is today. Just because it was used ironically doesn't mean that it wasn't also used seriously. There's a whole essay on the furry hate that revolves more around the damage done by that one CSI episode (and I'm pretty sure another similar show a few years later) that characterized furries as sexual deviants than anything else, but the use of the 4chan furfag moniker was also a part of it, and that spread outside of 4chan.
4chan for its part, though, really proved the saying "say something ironically enough times and eventually you start saying it unironically." Although that's less related to the furry thing and more to the whole edgy teenagers posting racist jokes growing up to scream about Jewish space lasers creating climate change.

I was gonna write a response to this but it was pretty much just a rephrase of my other response. tl;dr I don't hate furries as mentioned and idc if you're amongst the "normal about their hobby" crowd but in more than one instance I've encountered people very not normal about their hobby and I choose not to associate with them.
️in more than one instance I've encountered people very not normal about their hobby and I choose not to associate with them.
️To be fair, there are people like this, probably also on these forums, about almost every hobby. Gun nuts, programmers, “sweaty” card/board/video gamers, etc.

Thanks for giving an example

"My deviance is totally the same thing as ethnicity or gender"

Unless the specialists are scientists, most of us present like normies
