Unfortunately, I’m not sure who the original artist for the picture is. It’s been sitting on my phone for years now, waiting for a chance to be used.
My fursona is a homo sapien. Am I doing this right?
(This joke isn’t meant to denigrate furries at all, rather it is a joke pointing out that humans are animals, too. That’s all)
Yeah I’m not worried about offending people who wear fur suits and jack off to cartoons.
Don’t worry, I got the joke even before your edit.
Now then:
Pushes glasses up snout ACKTHUALLY while humans might technically be animals, the furry community revolves around animals that possess unnaturally human characteristics, or to put it another way, animals with anthropomorphic features. Because human characteristics are natural to humans, they aren’t really part of the furry community.
That said, most furries will accept you anyway so long as you aren’t disrupting the vibe. Hell, some people have 'sonas which aren’t based on animals at all, but instead based on planes, trains, etc. There was a meme that went around furry Twitter recently where artists were turning trains into “synth” dragons or similar creatures.
Lemmy does have an issue with NSFW stuff showing up in various sorting modes. I can’t say any of it bothers me in particular but it’s going to be a detriment to Lemmy’s growth with the public at large if it isn’t changed. I think the easiest fix is to exclude NSFW communities from appearing unless a user is subscribed to them.
All the furry shit really turned me off in the beginning, I’m glad that all the new content watered it down a little. It used to be like every other post was some furry shit. I respect just about everyone, except for furries. Those guys are fucking gross.
