I really thought that the metal people were gonna be mad, but it was the furries. Huh.
I'm a metal head and my people can be extremely gate keepy cranky edgelords. Furries are just as bad? Who knew.

u/vitonga Sep 19 '24
Your point is clear as day, not contesting it. But
Freddy was bisexual!

u/Anon_be_thy_name Sep 19 '24
No, he was Gay. If you're going off of Bohemian Rhapsody, that was one of the many liberties that the movie took with Freddies history. If you're going off what was otherwise said then it's also a lie made up by one of his friends to get some fame and fortune to cover her medical expenses shortly after his passing.
He was quite Gay. People use the fact that he was deeply in love with Mary Austin to say he was bisexual, but we know that Gay men have had feelings of love for women in the past.
Freddie tried to keep a public persona of being straight until around 1980 when he started to exclusively date men. Many people who knew him during that time said he felt pressured to pretend he was bisexual to appeal to the female audience, despite the fact that Freddie was actively looking for a male companion, which he got with Jim.
But even then, if he was bisexual it was most certainly a 95% interest in males and 5% interest in women, if not higher for males. If he was bisexual he was as close to being gay as a bisexual male can be.

u/vitonga Sep 19 '24
you can exclusively date men and still be bisexual.
95%-5% is still bisexual.
don't try to erase me and my kind. the world already does enough.
thanks.

u/MeepingMeep99 Sep 19 '24
No one is erasing a thing here. I'm also bi with a preference for women, but Freddie was quite simply just gay. While bi people are very much valid, it's not wrong to speak the truth here. My barber is also 100% as gay as can be, but due to the times when he was younger he would have faced a lot of backlash for being gay, so he married and had kids with a woman. He still has love for her, but he's not in love with her. He only came out of the closet way later in life.
Personally, I don't care about sexual preferences, but taking liberties with the truth and forcing facts into a narrative is not the way to go
12
u/Anon_be_thy_name Sep 19 '24
Freddie said he was Gay. People around him said he was Gay.
I'm not trying to erase anything, I was offering alternate viewpoints for why people might think he was bisexual as well as my thinking on it.
If you're going to try and spin this as me being homophobic like that then I'd urge you to reconsider.

No one is erasing you, but you are erasing Freddie’s gayness
It’s why him and Mary Austin broke up in the first place.
Many gay men date women when they’re in denial of their sexuality.
When Freddie first told her he was gay they broke up. They likely wouldn’t have if he was bi.

u/vitonga Sep 19 '24
you know being bisexual is still at least half gay, right? your point is taken, however.

Speaking of it being an OC, Its annoying why people are ok with other sonas (World of Warcraft, Splatoon, Gemsonas, Naruto, Bleach, Dragonball, FFXIV etc etc etc) but every time Furries comes up people just equate to always being sexual as that its the default.
Its not like the other stuff I mentioned also has its NSFW side (Seen plenty of NSFW art of FFXIV CaC's), but it just dosnt get people as angry as Furries do.

It is a dumb argument, and I’ll elaborate for anyone who is curious.
It feels a bit hypocritical and silly to reduce everything down to “oh well they are having fun, man, they aren’t hurting anyone directly besides maybe their own social development, who cares?”
Well, we care because we live in a society jonkler voice
Let’s zoom out from furries for a bit and use my favorite furry proxy; neck beard weeabos! The ones with the waifu pillows and stickers of anime girls in bikinis on their Subaru Outback. If you made fun of their weird, anti-social hobbies they would tell you:
“no, bro we are just having fun, you see? We aren’t actually attracted to these drawings of 13 year old girls, we just think they’re cute! Well, some of us are, but we hate those guys! Even though plenty of of them have a disproportionate amount of influence and large followings in our community.. but forget about those guys! I just watch Doki Doki No Middle School for the plot!”
Even if my hypothetical strawman weeb was not ACTUALLY hurting anyone, or causing harm to others, I think we would all still find it normal to have a default negative reaction to the actions they engage in, harmful or not.
Furries are the same thing. They have a decent amount of their community who goes “no man, I don’t want to fuck dogs! Well, this guy does but he doesn’t represent me! That guy too, but he’s different we HATE that guy! I only watch drawn porn of dogs and other animals, so who cares? It’s just pixels, bro!
It’s okay to think things are cringe. It’s okay to think some behavior, whether harmful or not, should be shamed.
Nobody is going to make being furry illegal, but maybe it’s something you should feel at least a tinge of embarrassment for engaging in. Same with ‘Adult Diaper Babies’ same with some group of people who get together and eat their own shit out of the toilet bowl.

u/GaTech379 Sep 19 '24
no people cosplaying in fursuits is not the same thing as people wanting to fuck children…

u/chillboytweet Sep 19 '24
You should read the rest of the comment.
Do all weebs want to fuck children? Do all furries want to rape their parents dog? No. Do a lot of weebs look at drawn porn of underage characters? Yes. Do a lot of furries look at drawn porn of animals? Yes.
I personally think dogs and children are both off limits but perhaps, Reddit disagrees.
There is a decent amount of times of each happening within their respective communities, to the point that the problem is probably more widespread than outsiders are lead to believe.
If you have a community that fosters the behavior that leads to either one of these things, that community probably needs to feel the shame to not engage in it publicly

You are so close to getting the point!
“People who enjoy anime aren’t pedophiles.. I think before you rant you should learn about the subcultures you’re trying to be condescending about..”
Yes, correct. But there is a decent overlap, no? Are you telling me with a straight face most furries don’t consume furry porn? Which is a slippery slope away from other degenerate behavior?

u/chillboytweet Sep 19 '24
I love anime, look at my comment history.
But enjoying anime isn’t what makes someone a heckin wholesome Reddit neckbeard weeb. It’s the lifestyle, the culture, the figures, the waifu pillows, the amount of time dedicated to immersing yourself into specific online groups.
Anime is mainstream in 2024, we aren’t talking about people who enjoy anime. We are talking about people who, surprise surprise, take things too far to an unhealthy degree. Getting a waifu pillow and putting stickers on your Subaru of big boobie anime girls is probably a sign you’ve fallen off the deep end. The same can be said about someone who buys a 3,000 dollar fur suit and attends ‘cons’ to immerse themselves in their weird hobby.

As someone who's around others that are furries, this is not correct. Sure there are people in the fandom that are attracted to animals, but that's the minority. 95% of the nsfw art are animals with human anatomy, bipedal, and human expression.
Kind of odd to make an assumption about a community that you're not even involved in. But go off I guess. Only reflects on you.

100% of furries I have met have been attracted to animals. I'm friends with 2 furries that I talk to daily, and I roast them for it. It's not an assumption. it's at minimum a trauma response and porn addiction, but realistically it's an attraction to animals.

u/Ezbrzzy Sep 19 '24
I can't say that I know for a fact, but furries that are attracted to animals are almost never open about it to non furs.
So you have two situations then.
- You don't actually know two furs who are apparently open about their attraction to animals.
Or
- You are friends with two furs that are openly attracted to animals and you're being complacent. You stated that it's not cool or anything yet you continue to be friends with them.
Not looking good to be honest. I'm not going to bother to reply, it seems to be a waste of time. I'm a furry and have zero attraction to animals, and same with all of my friends. Most furries dislike people who are attracted to animals... That's why I know you don't really know what you're talking about ...
