I find those things immoral because I view them as insulting to the dignity of humanity.


I would like to say so as well. But to be honest it's probably just got to do with an evolutionary aversion to those things stemming from the need for hygiene and trying to justify it in much more pretty wording. That's not a good reason to outlaw it.

Really, it's pretty obvious you just find the whole thing disgusting and are just trying really hard, at the expense of logical consistency, to come up with a reason to condemn it.

If someone spends an excessive amount of money on video games and television, that is also sinful.

And theyll pay for it in the end, by their own terms?

Human dignity and preventing people from self harm/depravity isn't a good reason?

Human dignity and depravity aren't things that you can quantify by law, without getting into philosophical and religious territory that people in a secular country want to steer clear of.

Dignity is subjective and different to each person. To me the idea is a bit ballux because how people try to use it as reasoning or justification.
Actually, community can prevent the latter. Ive made some damn good friends who are in the fur community. People like to help each other. Most people are fine.

Trust me, ive seen the bad. People wearing suits and being all huggy isnt that. But everyone judges groups by their worst anyway. In the end it isnt my business.

There was no bottom to the rabbit hole. I'll finish it eventually, but the author pulled the work from Amazon to rework it and excise the erotic elements. I like to think I played a part in that.

Whatever the verb form of furry that I'm allowed to say on here is a bourgeois degeneracy. It's excessive and wasteful.


Anything that doesn't involve Orthodox Christianity and heterosexual vanilla sex in the missionary position for the sole purpose of procreation (with the lights off), is bourgeois degeneracy to you. You'd probably even ban handholding.

Then to be quite honest, you are probably not a good socialist. The freedom to be seuxally weird is being placed in a lot of SJ left discourse alongside issues that actually important in social life which is distressing.


No, its not. If anything your position is distressing. You seek to free the people from one set of chains, only to keep them locked up in another.

Tekeristan wrote:I dont care for "degeneracy" cause it aint my business. Leave people be i say, majority of people are fine.


Honestly, the only time I've ever seen anybody unironically condemn "degeneracy" (the definition of which apparently shifts and changes such that it depends on the phase of the moon, the time of day, and the position of a random electron in a random atom in the person's brain), they've either been a fascist or a closet fascist.

Considering how much you hate this stuff, I cannot help but to picture you, much like a closeted gay televangelist, being a secret furry who has a fetish for trans girls and watersports.

To be entirely fair, Hitler was pretty pro-animal rights. So, I mean, I guess, in a twisted sense, they could see certain anthropomorphized animals as equal to Aryans.

My general theory is that a decent number of people who join fur groups are seeking community, same to far right groups as well - assured acceptance, if you will.
It is because of this the existance of unironic nazi furs doesnt surprise me. I would almost call it double dipping. Fascinating tbh.

How very mature of you. Also, handholding is wholesome.

One furry in the thread posited that Nazi furries proliferated because the furry community was very big on a sort of naive tolerance back in the day. It was always "to each his own", and so one could be an outright Nazi and make that part of the kink and people would be compelled by the social contract to just roll with it. This made it easy Nazis to organize and proliferate among the milleau.
