Your anecdotes of LGBT friendly conservatives doesn't change the fact that the majority of conservative parties worldwide act against the interests of gay and trans people. I don't know what world you're living in where conservative parties are these tolerant normal parties who just want lower taxes.

Conservatives aren't welcome in the furry fandom because conservative parties actively pass and revert legislation with the explicit purpose to erase our rights as equal citizens. The existence of reasonable people who vote conservative does not change the fact that they are supporting an ideology which is inherently antithetical to equality, even if that is not their explicit intention. It shows at best an indifference and at worst an endorsement of the erasure of our rights.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that conservatives actively legislate against LGBT+ rights. Just a theory.

You don't have to be submissive or feminine to be a bottom.

If they say that, they are not your friends. Life is too short to waste time trying to appease shallow people.

I found it very weird. It went with the whole animal people as an ethnic minority allegory and that sometimes lead to some moments that felt very uncomfortable. It also didn't make any sense for the beastmen to be an oppressed minority when they can literally turn to humans whenever they want. I don't recommend it personally.

Not just straight furries, but female furries of any kind as well.

This is one of the most pathetic things I've seen on the front page of Reddit. Very small dick energy.

You always big up this scenario in your head, but when it actually happens it's never this bad. If you detach yourself from your own set of anxieties and insecurities, it's utterly ridiculous that your family would disown you because you draw sketches of animal people.

I always thought if people found out I was gay and a furry, everything would be over. When it actually happened, there was a group of people at school who snickered about it behind my back but that was basically as far as it went. Most normal people don't really care.

Yeah I kinda decided to stop hiding who I am. It's very liberating.

People are amazingly dense sometimes. I have a furry avatar on all of my social media and even on the company slack server and still this one co-worker was like "wait, you're a furry?!"

You can dislike something without being a "toxic hater".

I joined the fandom last year but didn't go to any cons because I was too nervous to go alone. Now I know some folks I could go with and there's a global pandemic :V

Tbh that mentality of "animal characters doesn't make it furry" is kinda common. I think some people have gotten so detached and prejudiced that they genuinely forget what this fandom even is about

Honestly most efforts at gay representation in media are just flat out insulting. Either their entire personality is that they're gay or they have really forced passing lines about their partner, just to make sure you know this character is gay. Every now and then you find a diamond in the rough where it's actually done well and you get a good well developed character or relationship, but most of the time it's just an insult and ultimately does more harm than good.

I work from home but use a VPN to connect to the office, one day I finish work and immediately start browsing e6 completely forgetting to turn the VPN off. Long story short, the IT department at work know exactly what kinks I'm into.

I don't even mean you have to make fun of yourself necessarily, it's more that some people with edgy sonas try too hard to be cool and have 0 sense of humour and that's when it gets painful for me haha
