Anthropomorphic animals have been a staple since Disney and freaking Aesop! 600BCE. People labeling it all the same as people who have a fursona are really weird.
It seems like this is what the bigots and outrage enthusiasts have latched into since they've been thoroughly shunned for hating other demographics (trans people most recently). It seems like it's getting more posts recently.
That’s exactly how it is. Bullying LGBTQ+ is shunned upon these days, so bigots are redirecting their hatred to the next thing on the list they don’t understand, furries
Eh, I guess, but it is a bit harder to understand. You mention LGBTQ+, so considering the sexual aspect of furries… sexualizing animals… yeah. As long as they’re not going to actual bestiality, I don’t really care. But no, I don’t understand.
It’s not harder to understand, it just has had less media exposure which means it feels more alien to the majority out there. There is a lot of nuance in anthropomorphism, most of it isn’t even sexualised and doesn’t count as furry. But the masses have an aversion to nuance.
Imo it’s very similar to drag, furries have an alt ego that just happens to be an anthropomorphic animal, period.
Saying that liking any of these shows makes someone a furry is about as right as saying you must be queer or something if you liked watching Ms. Doubtfire. It’s clearly trolling.
Hey, I want to clarify, I’m not looking to bully or harass the furry community or any of its members, I’m a furry myself, and I made this meme simply because I thought it was intresting how common anthropomorphic animals are in animation
All good with you, also agree it’s interesting to see anthro characters getting more screen time lately. What disappoints me is the creeping tide of hate, one can’t bring up the topic without trolls starting a fire
I’m on lemmy.ml and have not yet seen a NSFW post on All. Not that I care about it (I really dont use it for porn), but I’m curious why that is? Is it because ml is not feterated why instances where this content is mostly posted?
Yeah I’m on .ml too and it’s not federated with NSFW instances, not bothered by it much and actually kinda prefer it all being under my alt on another instance
I actually have no good enough reason to switch to an app, the web app is more than good although text formatting doesn’t work probably using Firefox but it works using nu.lemdro.id which lacks the option to easily use and format text
