I absolutely was not using furry as a slur lmao, I was using "furry chud" as a slur

Why even mention him being a furry then? It's like referring to Herman Cain as a "black monster" instead of just a monster. them being a furry/black is completely irrelevant to their being terrible, do there's no reason to mention them. And because you do anyway, we must assume it's in order to further ridicule the person in question.

Mad about furries.

Even so, statistics are showing and extreme bias towards prosecuting men, particularly in violent crime. We're going to have to implement a more fair policy to get women equity with the men. :colbert:

Yes, I obviously meant that the two were identical. Calling someone out for something that doesn't affect anyone negatively sucks. Even in "ridiculous" cases like furries or philatelists. Attack people for being horrible, not for being something that you don't approve of for bigoted reasons.

The exception to this is people who identify as attack helicopters. gently caress those people.

And just to be completely clear, black people are way more marginalized than furries, and singling out someone for being black is probably worse than singling them out for being a furry. But both are the same kind of creating a group identity through exclusion, and that sucks.

I think it absolutely is relevant, which is why I said I was using "furry chud" as a slur and not just "chud". If you are a furry, fine whatever. If you're a furry chud though, you have to be a very particular kind of idiot due to how the furry community works and what most of it represents.

Like think about it, you're basically saying "I'm into this thing where everyone is a hyper-personalized character and a ton of the population is queer and/or trans and always has been and that's just kinda been accepted in a way it really hasn't been anywhere else. Well anyway as I was saying BLM are terrorists, build the wall, gently caress you snowflakes there's only two genders, etc..." Like they're two very uncomfortable worldviews when you put them together, and they're both things you have to more or less decide to be in a way "being black" sure isn't.

I've seen mention of it on SA but, as I recall, didn't the "furry community" go through a big uproar and split years ago over the decision to throw out the nazi and ultra-right furries (what a world we live in). I don't know if SA poster "Literal Nazi Furry" is still posting but I imagine he would know more.

furry chud is an interesting enough combination as to call out when talking about someone.

That makes a lot of sense actually, thanks for making me think even further (about furries).

Oh yeah the furries did some soul searching around and a bit after the 2016 election and purged a lot of the nazis which was fantastic. Good job furries. I mean they did the usual thing of reconstituting a smaller safe space community where they could be chuds by themselves but still, good job furries.
