The nsfw ban makes sense though

2019-09-21 21:49:08 UTC  

Too many furries here to risk a NSFW channel

2019-09-21 21:49:23 UTC  

with the current climate you don't want to give any of the political opponents anything to hang you with

2019-09-21 21:49:23 UTC  

lul

2019-09-21 21:49:31 UTC  

are furries allowed here?

2019-09-21 21:49:44 UTC  

I think it's got a good logical basis

2019-09-21 21:50:11 UTC  

@Alexanderjac Do you really think we could keep them out?

2019-09-21 21:50:21 UTC  

Right, but we all know that certain people don't follow rules like that and then they deflect saying the rules don't apply to them because they're appealing to a higher power/bandwagon fallacy where whatever ideology they wish to promote is more important than free trade of ideas on an equal field.

2019-09-21 21:51:26 UTC  

you know usually im more of a 'live and let live' kind of guy, but i think the world would be a better place if we just fucking purged all the furries lmao

2019-09-21 21:51:50 UTC  

Honestly, furries have some of the best artists.

2019-09-21 21:51:58 UTC  

That's true but keeping everything perfectly "equal" or "even steven" is impossible to accomplish because of the natural human condition.

2019-09-21 21:52:33 UTC  

We just have to do the best we can and accept some dissention within reason. Things are rarely ever perfect.

2019-09-21 21:52:46 UTC  

well everyone thinks that theyre in the right. how they tolerate differing opinions is what's really telling about a person

2019-09-21 21:52:57 UTC  

Right, Nimble. Equality of Outcome vs Equality of Opportunity.

2019-09-21 21:53:27 UTC  

One cannot have both.

2019-09-21 21:53:41 UTC  

so are you a connoisseur of furry art @Brokkr?

2019-09-21 21:54:19 UTC  

No. It isn't my thing. That being said, I've had people send me sfw furry pictures and they were very well drawn.

2019-09-21 21:54:27 UTC  

Amen on the furry artist comment. I remember browsing deviant art in my youth. It was always a beautiful and slightly disturbing experience

2019-09-21 21:54:40 UTC  

so you would say youve enjoyed furry art before?

2019-09-21 21:54:52 UTC  

Always browse that shit now with parental locks on

2019-09-21 21:56:23 UTC  

@Alexanderjac Enjoyed? Naw. It's not the worst thing in the world but I've probably never been exposed to the most extreme corners of it. It's whatever though. As long as everyone is having fun right?

2019-09-21 21:57:41 UTC  

i mean ive jerked off to some anthro shit before, but i feel like the furry community in general is into some pretty degenerate kinks. nothing's really wrong with it, but most furrys come across as pretty strange

2019-09-21 21:58:34 UTC  

I'd say I've enjoyed some of the art, sure. By the same token fantasy art could be considered 'furry'. C.S. Lewis' 'Chronicles of Narnia' with the many talking animals. Any of the Redwall books and their art. Mr. Toad.

2019-09-21 21:59:06 UTC  

I cannot remember what series Mr. Toad is from.

2019-09-21 21:59:49 UTC  

I also tend to take the "live and let live "approach. I mean we are all strange to someone . It's more of a question of "what kind of filthy degenerate are you?" It's a spectrum and how weird you are depends on their position in relation to your own.

2019-09-21 22:01:01 UTC  

I'd agree with you, Nimble. I'd also point out that the 'degenerates' still enjoy the 'vanilla'.

2019-09-21 22:01:07 UTC  

Plus I'm old and I've been on the internet for some time. While I avoid most of the freaky stuff directly, I've seen and heard about a lot of things.

2019-09-21 22:01:35 UTC  

The internet used to be the wild fucking west. With all the censoring and stuff now it's not nearly as bad lol

2019-09-21 22:02:14 UTC  

@Brokkr And what 'Vanilla' means also varies to different people.

2019-09-21 22:02:19 UTC  

Very true.

2019-09-21 22:03:10 UTC  

You know you're old when you have memories of printing out images for private purposes from a floppy disc to a dot matrix printer.

2019-09-21 22:03:47 UTC  

True that.

2019-09-21 22:03:59 UTC  

Kids now don't even know what floppy disks are for.

2019-09-21 22:04:18 UTC  

I volunteered at a community center once and they were using old floppies for art projects.
Turning them into coasters

2019-09-21 22:04:23 UTC  

Kids had no idea what they were lol

2019-09-21 22:04:49 UTC  

I was the only person on my social media platform that mourned the death of Ralph H. Baer.

2019-09-21 22:05:08 UTC  

No one knew who he was.

2019-09-21 22:05:27 UTC  

Lol. To be fair I only know of him because of my father.

2019-09-21 22:05:53 UTC  

But take comfort in knowing that you are at least young and hip enough to have social media

2019-09-21 22:05:58 UTC  

I feel like anyone who plays video games at all should learn about him.

2019-09-21 22:06:04 UTC  

I have zero social media.
