Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Who the fuck would this even affect?

Nobody is wearing a fur suit at school except for the mascot. Just a weird show of hate for someone different from him I guess.

Even though I'm not a furry, I'm like 90% sure I regularly "engage in anthropomorphic behavior". I probably would have been more confident before I saw this, but now I'm wondering if I've been misunderstanding that word for as long as I can remember.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

Well technically anthropomorphic behavior I'm pretty sure means "human shaped behavior" so almost certainly. This politician is a fool as well as a bigot.

I think it’s calculated rather than weird. Demonizing hypothetical fursuit-wearing schoolchildren in a bill that will never become law is free red meat for this ghoul to throw to his base

The only people who are hurt are marginalized kids who will feel even more rejected, but who could possibly care about that

Real funny of hexbear to rename the fakenews comm to "news" today agony-shrooms

Grim shit. They have clothed their discriminatory bs in plausibly deniable absurdity. Libs will only laugh desolate

i remember when 'fursecution' was mostly a problematic/ironic concept used satirically to emphasize the actual oppression of racial and sexual minorities with the fact that furries weren't super popular on certain internet spaces.

but

CW mention of incorrect conflations in conservative thought relating to sexual minoritiesobviously its not much more of a jump to assume that furries = zoophiles than it is to assume that gays = pedophiles or that trans = groomers

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

I’d say the fact that most people are unclear about the difference between anthropomorphic and feral art means that the difference is probably smaller than those things in most people’s heads

Oklahoma moment (Oklahoment)

The question arises: is using Eurofurence and Monofur fonts on my system a political statement?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Hate it when kids anthropomorphize each other
