Tbf there's still a surprisingly large number of Nazi furries out there, because I guess theres nothing in the world so baffling and nonsensical that someone out there isn't doing it.

yeah at this point i'm suspicious of furries not because of the kink angle, which is quaint in hell times, but rather because there seems to be an overlap between being a furry, anime nerd, or gamer, and having extraordinarily online opinions about politics

I was on holiday in Bali earlier this year and visited a place where they made all these different teas and coffees and seeing Mangosteen tea on the menu made me do a double take.



No benefits for skeletal health though :(
I was completely wrecked from a hangover recently and got one of those aloe drinks with mangosteen and it helped a lot

Here's a bit of Pick drama: One time in that hilarious but terrible relationships thread, Pick went on a tangent that it was actually LGBT's fault that they were discriminated against and if they would all just be more respectable to cishet people and stop being so uppity, Pride would be celebrated nationwide. She defended her position by saying that as a conventionally attractive cis, white, bi woman she never experienced any anti-LGBT discrimination l so it was all made up.

So yeah doing on of those kinds of posts is probably why she got thrown out of the thread and now is here demanding for us to go through her post history and debate her.

This is why a lot of people don't like Pick. When your gimmick is indistinguishable from the actual harassment people face, is it really "trolling" when people get upset by it? Everyone acts as if Pick is just some master troll people hate for being a woman but maybe it's just that people don't like "ironic" discrimination and harassment? I like Pick's art and any posting that I've seen that wasn't attempting to stir the pot. But the pot stirring never comes across as anything other than genuine to me. Either genuinely believed, or genuinely meant to hurt people. And whether it's meant to or not, it obviously does hurt people.
It just boggles my mind that someone can harass others for being lgbt or poor or disabled or whatever else and people just say "lol don't fall for the troll why does everyone hate Pick guess gbs just hates women lol"

A lot of niche nerd communities (furries, anime, tabletop rpgs, etc) have this weird dichotomy where they attract a lot of marginalized people like LGBTQs and also a lot of terrible nazi white men. Luckily nazis tend to love telling us how nazi they are. Like, it's rare to find a game store that is in the middle these days, it's going to be 100% progressive or 100% nazi comic book guys.

Also, what's up with this? https://www.reddit.com/r/somethingawful

Niche nerd communities are usually well stocked with young social outcasts and basement failchildren. White cisdudes who meet those criteria are prime recruiting for nazis, since many of them are actively looking for something to blame for their lives being hosed up and the nazis have all sorts of targets to present them with.

The non-white/cis/dude nerds already know everythings hosed due to some combo of capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy.

That one from yesterday or so about the lady and her mentor and the insane rear end in a top hat of a boyfriend elicited some searing hot takes about how she didn't manage the balancing act of denying infidelity strongly enough, but not so strongly that it was overcompensating lol.

it's because Pick doesn't act like a giant rear end in a top hat outside of the /r/r thread and keeps her unbelievable weirdness at a much lower roar

like, at the end of the day I think Pick gets attention that most ladygoons don't because she's just a flat-out loving bizarre human, and even people who don't dislike or hate her end up wanting to Jane Goodall her just because every new detail she gives about her life is a new and rich vein of :wtc:

My theory is Quantum Goon. Goons are both serious posting and fake posting at the same time. What ever you feel like dealing with at the time is how they're posting. Pick is just a lightning rod for accepting this.

Here's a pro tip though. ALL goons are shitposting, it's just that some of them are poo poo at it.
