So the president is inciting a pogram, the Army is live-streaming an execution, and we’re considering bringing back ships for human trafficking. Have I missed anything today while I was busy? No? Okay cool great

Dear CisHet people, Reminder that, by default, BEING LGBTQ isn't hard. Leave LGBTQ people on a deserted island and they'll do grand. They'll never feel bad or self-conscious about being queer. It's YOU GUYS that can potentially make it very tiresome. Every. Single. Day.

theculturalbarxist.wordpress.com/2017/06/29/w... another essay I post excerpts from A LOT Openly queer, not based on a single intellectual property. Not subject to regular fandom dynamics in which there is a Right Way. Absolute freedom of identity and self expression.

That means that the furry ethos is noticeably different from that of other fandoms. Because the corporations that controlled the media properties central to most nerd fandoms wanted to continue selling merchandise, they had a vested interest in not alienating what they saw as their core cis-het male nerd audience. As such, official pronouncements from on high would generally ignore a female audience and actively avoid any acknowledgement of alternative sexualities. Fans themselves would establish their own rank in the fandom by acting as police to protect and enforce official canon. LGBTQ fan characters and interpretations could more easily be excluded from, say, Trek fandom by claims that such ideas were not canon and would not fit with the official views of Trek’s corporate owners. But in furry, where the fandom was uniquely focused on giving free reign to individual expression and where there’s no one single corporate canon, these same anti-LGBTQ arguments were a harder sell.

As a reminder, a LOT of the internet animosity against furries is just thinly veiled queermisia/homophobia. Again, linking to Soatok soatok.medium.com/if-you-hate-... So much of it was trying to crush and humiliate people who dared to be openly weird and enthusiastic. Cannot be allowed.

Screenshot from a somethingawful article reading "A huge, huge motivation for early furry hate was homophobia. That remained the one axis on which we (non-furry dweebs) could punch down, no matter the stated justification. Furries helped mainstream majority-queer spaces. That made them easy to mock, because they were unashamed enough to be public with their weird art and their dragon wings and their rejection of all the suffocating norms that still make mainstream geek culture an unrelenting hell.

That invited scorn. It hurt to see others free from the shames that wracked us so. Disgust was the immediate response, a kind of unbodying rejeciton which would seek to purge any otherness from ourselves. Some of us knew it to be queerphobia, and I'm sure that was the motivation for a lot of the early trolling.
Others just wanted to be part of the in-group, and there was no easier way to do that than take a swing at a designated punching bag "

Texas lawmakers literally tried to pass an anti-furry bill. Nazis have been targeting furries forever on the internet. All anti-furry rhetoric is centered around the fact that furries are majority-LGBTQ and incredibly accepting of LGBTQ people, and therefore “cringe.” Furry is a queer subculture
