Screaming Idiot posted:I mostly agree with your sentiment, but let's not conflate a weird and often gross hobby with mental illness. It both trivializes mental illnesses and insults people who are mostly just regular people having harmless fun in a community who accepts them. Remember that a lot of furries are LGBTQ+ folks who found the furry community to be more accepting of their "deviancy" than more "normal" communities. Diaperfurs are all about adults in diapers. Pedo poo poo is called "cub." There are people in each group who hate the other.

Beachcomber posted:In a way, they are. They collect stats on each bull just like baseball players. I think I've even seen trading cards. I remember someone posting some a while back, along with their Wikipedia articles. The articles were obviously made by fans, and were obscure enough to fly under the radar of the weenies who go around sucking the fun out of the writing for being "unencyclopedic." They included inline, non-quotation text with phrases like "facial obliteration."

spacetoaster posted:This is dumb. Cities close parks all the time for all kinds of things like construction and cleaning (regular parks have closing hours too). Yes, it's a public park, but we've given the city authority to manage it. Some people suggested that summing up a bunch of negative traits under an explicitly female label might be a bit problematic, and even to the extent it's not is often employed in ways and by people who, uh, have problems with women. The usual "how dare you tell me what to do" crowd got mad about that, some pretending the word was the problem and mockingly censoring it. Roughly simultaneously some people started using the * ironically to make fun of those people, while others imitated one or the other just because it looked funny. The three are now indistinguishable, making it just another totally vacuous meme.

mind the walrus posted:... this to the next well-meaning kid who says "I want to get into comics but I want to start at the beginning and read everything. It's kind-of a fixation I have." This is only a problem if you think there aren't any comics but American superhero stuff. Which, uh, apparently a lot of people do.

necroid posted:wait so the average american has no idea at all that there are other comics in the world that are not superhero garbage? There was a moral panic in the 1950s that led to an equivalent to the film code as far as heavy-handed moral censorship, except even more heavy-handed, and obviously designed to kill off the non superhero genres. The biggest horror comic, Tales From the Crypt, lasted just long enough to stand up a new business plan around Mad Magazine. Most of the others just fell the gently caress over. The only other noncape comic survivors from that era that didn't just leave the industry are, like, Archie. Now there's zillions of American non super hero comics coming out all the time and most Americans just don't know. Occasionally you even get a movie based on one where people who see it don't realize, like Road to Perdition. Blue Footed Booby fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Jul 16, 2020 |

I went to a korpikaalni/eluvetie concert where folks in the pit would help anyone up who fell, occasionally doing the angry headbang macarena. A person there told me about an In Flames concert she'd gone to where a guy in the pit was actively targeting and bowling over women near the edge but outside, and no one did anything. Only nonmetal show I've been to was Heilung. Super chill, and way more people with antlers than I expected.

Carthag Tuek posted:the whale shark breathes by sucking water into its mouth and expelling it via its gills, so it would also die if it closed its mouth for too long It can also clench its gills and blow, forcibly ejecting whatever is in its mouth. This is what happened to a number of scuba divers who got to close and were accidentally sucked in. The world goes dark and fwoomp, you're back in the light. If the shark were bothered he'd eject them like piscine confetti.

luxury handset posted:yeah at best cats would learn that certain sounds are associated with food but really the cat is just trying buttons until something nice happens. cats are social and they show affection but they don't give a poo poo about making people happy like dogs do, cats will make demands and if the demand isn't met they just shrug and do something else At the same time, they're capable of learning. It doesn't have to understand the word to know that pressing one button results in treats and another results in attention. loving rats can figure that much out.
