I’ve got to admit that Republicans are always finding new and creative ways to be outrageously villainous and hateful

It’s because furries are overwhelmingly queer and often used as a stand in for fear mongering about trans people (ex: the “litter boxes in schools” rumor).

Furries are the next target after trans people.

I would say it’s more that they recognize furries are largely a queer subculture (regardless of the fact that straight furries exist) and correctly recognize it as less objectionable to most people’s sensibilities to say you’re getting furries removed from schools by animal control than it is to say you’re getting queer kids removed from schools by animal control.

I mean, furries have been targeted by the right for a long time, but they are nothing if not famous for winning the battle but losing the war when it comes to trying to stamp out subcultures they don’t like. They’ve finally given up on trying to legislate homosexuality away, so now they’re turning their attention to a less understood and more marginalized subculture of individuals. They’ll give up on that eventually too when they realize they’ll never win and turn their attention to the next vulnerable group to rally and galvanize their base.

Not to mention wrong. Sounds like a result of the litterbox panic from a little while ago.

Which stemmed from an active shooter measure that would have allowed kids to relieve themselves without out having to leave the safety of their hiding place.

I’m pretty sure kids are going to do that regardless of the legality…

Being a politician is all about getting attention. The more outrageous the bill or the thing the bill is addressing the more attention. This bill will hopefully never pass, but here we are talking about it.

And projection that a bunch of them are probably into furries, or domination, or both.

We clearly need Barney Frank’s ‘expose em when they oppress’ tactics back in the house.

I wonder how the dude who wrote the bill would fare against real animals, considering he’s so afraid of people dressed like them.

My guess is not too well. He’d crumble into a tiny ball and wait for it to be over. Man just when you think someone in the US can’t make things look any worse than they already are…

I’ve been to Anthrocon. Normal people love furries. Pittsburgh literally turns out with their kids to watch the furry parade and take pictures with fur suiters, lol.

Dressing up as a cartoon animal is the most Disney level hobby imaginable, disconnect from 2003-era 4chan.

$10 says the state legislator responsible for the bill is whatever the most-outlandish type of furry possible is.

Only when you’re a fan, but also a state legislator introducing an anti-furry bill.

Otherwise, I’m sure I speak for everyone here when I say: every single one of us loves cockvore. Totally normal!

I wouldn’t joke about that if I were you, vote manipulation is a big problem on Lemmy and since the tools for detection aren’t very good (if even there at all) it might cause people to suspect you of cheating the system.
