Furries: Create inclusive and friendly places that encourage creativity and being yourself, especially if you’re queer and/or neurodiverse.Antis: BUT THEY’RE DRAWING ANIMALS SUGGESTIVELY SOMETIMES SO THEY MUST ALL BE PREDATORS!!!Monsterfuckers: Use fantasy to safely explore COMPLETELY NORMAL desires, use monsters as a means of reclaiming the oppression and dehumanization they face in the real world present and/or past, use nonhuman characters to explore their own identities, take comfort in the unusual.Antis: BUT AGE GAPS ARE CREEPY!!! AND ANY FANTASIES THAT AREN’T COMPLETELY PURE AND WHOLESOME ARE DANGEROUS!!! AND GROWN ADULTS CAN’T BE TRUSTED TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES!!! AND NONHUMAN REP IS ALWAYS BAD AND WRONG!!!I’m so fucking tired of this shit. No more giving anyone who says that shit the benefit of the doubt and being all “oh actually we’re a loving community who–” nope, not gonna bother anymore, because they don’t care. They want an acceptable target. There’s no reasoning with people who think you deserve to be dead for having different interests. [Helped to get that anger out. I’m gonna send something funnier next. Hope things get easier for all of us soon.]
It’s so tiring, anon. I do how things get better soon, and I’m glad getting the anger out helped.
