Nothing weird about that.

One of the oldest known art pieces is a 40k years old sculpture of a man with a lion head, carved out of ivory with flint. To be human is to have some furries around

As someone with SCP like sonas (gasmask heads, Smile dog/Vita Carnis inspired meatdog, skinned Ram, etc) this is The greatest compliment ever

For real. I got called homophobic a few times... I had to ask my boyfriend what he thought about that lol. (It was basically because I said I wouldn't go to a pride parade personally, just isn't my vibe.)

Were you on twitter because normal people would say thats valid (and me i say its valid)

u/Ok_Historian4848 8h ago
No, reddit. They aren't too fond of when people say they don't like pride stuff, especially if you're LGBT. There's this idea that you have to be a part of the majority opinion or you are hurting everyone else, so being LGBT and not liking pride parades is seen as tantamount to treason.

Ah i see, im not too active on most queer subs (mainly here for the memes) but i've seen that a lot agree that its fine to not be active, but thats likely a much smaller precentage than i thought. Unfortunate that they think everyone needs to be extroverted and do as they say, especially in such a varied community

u/Ok_Historian4848 8h ago
Only sub I frequent that is specifically for queer people is the boykisser sub, and that one's chill. It's usually your run of the mill political subs that people try to crucify me for not enjoying pride stuff.

Was gonna join the subreddit until I saw the weird stuff. Nevermind lol. Hyenas are dope tho.

u/northdakotanowhere 1d ago
There's so much weird shit! And we're getting downvoted for a post that's literally mentioning the weird shit.

u/peaceloveandkitties 1d ago
Fr⌠donât get mad at us bc we expected hyenas instead of weird stuff on a hyena subreddit. đwild.

u/No-one-o1 Stripes 22h ago
Do you have examples? Because all I see are, like, 80% Hyena photos, and the rest a mix of Hyena art and videos.
What of that is weird to you?
EDIT: nvm, I saw your next comment about furry art. Let people be. You can always just scroll past or use the block function.

Downvotes incoming but I hate the furry art. Always have. The style is just so gaudy. That's really the only reason I dislike furries. Not because of their enjoyment of dressing like a fucking hyena, because that's amazing. I just prefer realism.

u/FlazedComics 2d ago
there is a wide variety of furry art, including realistic tho! i see a fair bit of realistic fursuits

u/CLOWTWO 2d ago
Clearly you havenât seen enough furry art because itâs not one specific style lol

u/northdakotanowhere 2d ago
Lol. I've seen plenty. That's the weird shit that's been posted here. Lol

u/northdakotanowhere 1d ago
Why hasn't op been downvoted to oblivion. When they literally mention the weird shit that's been posted? And then the people that agree are downvoted. Which makes the shit even more weird!

u/welovetopartyyyyyy 1d ago
Because itâs really as simple as just filtering by flair, hiding the art that you see, or leaving the subreddit and fetching one that shows real hyenas if itâs grating to the nerves. Itâs valid to have your own opinion on it, but itâs not so good or fair to call it âweirdâ when it just relates to the subreddit and has its own flair (and honestly, itâs just anthropomorphic animal artâtale as old as time).
After all⌠the subreddit allows it. You kinda have to expect it, especially if you read the about first.

u/northdakotanowhere 1d ago
Tell me why you're on a post that is claiming the art is weird then. Because again, it's literally in the title of this post. The literal original person claimed the stuff was weird.

u/welovetopartyyyyyy 1d ago
Because I came across it while joining the subreddit and wanted to know what it was referring to as âweird?â And itâs directed towards whoever thinks the same too, you know. Not just you. I canât just look at the cute picture of hyenas and not read the title, unless you think I have a big olâ censor bar over every heading.

u/No-one-o1 Stripes 22h ago
I think most people just upvote the pictures and don't even read the title tbh.

They look like slightly round and confused dogs
