Unusual situation...
In the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
wikifur journal I posted a little comment on a group of spammers who were trying to 'flood' the site with spam or something. Below is my post.
"Lessee... I've been a 'furry' for... wow. A long time. (grin) Twenty or more years. I'm not gay. Wonder if these poor mammaboy-basement-dwelling fanboy stereotypes have figgered out that 'gay' and/or 'furry' aren't insults anymore, really, and that they're furries too if they ever enjoyed the following: Rocky & Bullwinkle, the Warner Bros. cartoons, Tom & Jerry and the rest of the Hannah-Barbera characters, the Disney characters, the Chronicles of Narnia, any of a VAST amount of science fiction and fantasy, sports mascots... and the list goes on. Furry doesn't mean porn, thought there certainly is a LOT of furry porn.
Then again, there are a thousand non-furry porn images out there for every furry porn image. And I think a lot of those are MUCH worse than the imagined images in furry.
Furry is also not bestiality and/or zoophilia. Not that these dear children really could fathom that.
Here's a trick- try getting your jollies by doing something NOT aimed at hurting someone else. That MIGHT be a bit more socially acceptable, and a bit less 'worthless nerd'."
I received one supportive comment, then (as I get email when a response is posted) I got THIS gem:
"You think furry is not an insult, only because you yourself don't 'accept' it as one. Think of it as, let's say, Hitler or Stalin - they considered themselves to be completely just and rightful, but did everyone else?
I hope you see my point. Furry."
Some people really don't have a clue. I responded with the below post. We'll see what happens- Personally, I'm kinda amused. ;)
"Interesting. One of those lovelies who I referred to above just posted the following to me:
(Message above quoted here)
Of course, it was posted anonymously. Which kinda makes my point.
And for the dear child who posted this- I'd maybe take you seriously if you had the stones to post it publicly. And comparing me to Hitler and Stalin? You ARE the comedian! Please. I like collecting artwork. NOT porn, for your information. And I like the conventions for socializing with long-distance friends. I really don't see how that makes me 'bad'.
Mostly, you come across pretty much like one of those sheet-wearing loons in the KKK. Bigoted for no reason, and ignorant."
Its his serve.
