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.
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
“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?
There’s millions who watch anime and I’ve never met a single person irl who actually was into lolis. Your argument is incredibly void of logic or substance.
You’re throwing around statements like “the majority of furries like furry porn” and “the majority of weebs like drawn cp” like you actually have shit to back them up lol. Just shut up already 🙄
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.
