I am not knowledgeable on this discussion. All I know is that the artist didn't sexualize them and it was pretty much entirely a stylistic choice.

All he is saying is that kemomimi (animal ears and tails on humans) isn't furry

Not even furry comics. The artist in question is the person who drew the subreddit's banner, and the comic was essentially a political soapbox for her (she is socialist) but since the characters had cat ears and tails that's a no-no. No sexualization or anything, just had cat ears and tails for whatever reason.


As a child, it was conservatives railing on about "sexualization." now it seems some leftists have taken up the cause.

That was what /r/socialism used to label it misogynistic. I'm saying it wasn't and that the subreddit's mods were looking way too far into it.
This nation does not represent my actual views. A semi-feudal absolute monarchy going through political upheaval.

Deprived of the proletarian work ethic in society, such depravity is inevitable. The working class is a major bedrock of society, that it has been largely dismantled in the developed world as a coherent group leaves open degeneration of communist thought and ethics, as the "bourgeois-proletarians" (per Lenin, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism) replace all key positions in working class movements.

When I talk about people wanting to fuck animals, normal people understand what I mean. You understand what I mean. However, you want to annoy people, so you point out technicalities, with no real argument behind your points. That's being a pedant. Nobody likes pedants.

If you value using correct scientific jargon over using conventional language, you're a pedant.

Humans are organic, biological beings like every other living thing. But I consider the word "animal" to refer to non-human biological beings.

B-but, I want to be noticed.

Anyways, the RWDT was orignarly where I thought to be, but upon hearing some of the less logical arguments they were coming up with, I decided to shrug and walk away for some time before turning round to look here.

Humans are animals, not all living things are. I wouldn't consider bacteria and the like to be 'animals', as such.

Secondly, cat ears and tail would seem pretty furry to me, but if the 'experts' say it's not, I'll take their word for it.

Lastly, we lefties are an odd bunch, aren't we?

The left and right wing threads don't just mean liberal/socialist or conservative/capitalist.
But ALL ideologies that happen to be on their branches including things like anarchism and theocracy.

So yes it can be a bit tiring if you identify as closer to the center.

For simplicity reasons, I consider animal ears and tail to be furry enough to be considered a furry.

And yes, we are a very odd bunch.

Well, I'll admit I'm a rather big fan of the skeptics community, more directly Sargon. My major issue in RWDT is they seem to be of the idea that if someone uses YouTube as their medium for communication, they're trash... and they don't have to explain why because 'it should be obvious pleb'.

So, if that's what RWDT is, I was hoping the other side wasn't so much that, and might (ironically given the current status of the more vocal fringe groups of the left right now) actually be willing to put some support rather than feelings and generalizations into what they say. You know, qualitative stuff and all that. Bread alone does not sustain a man and all that good stuff.
