well shit!

holy shit

faroval.rexouium.family•16 days ago

They clearly didn't listen to the Spartan. You target the furries, they will come after you HARD! And that's a promise, not a threat.

voidcritter.bsky.social•15 days ago

they're gonna try to declare the equal access act unconstitutional somehow

smallestpanda.bsky.social•16 days ago

why do these lead poisoned geriatric fucks care so much about us? ffs

jalixe.bsky.social•15 days ago

conservatives are narcissistic assholes who like feeling superior to others 24/7, remove existing minorities and they'll make a new one up

munagedaydream.bsky.social•7 days ago

Because furry is not “normal” to them. Anything outside of the box must be ridiculed and called out.

flufflordof.bsky.social•16 days ago

They hate queer people with a passion because being queer violates their patriarchal evangelical social hierarchy.

smallestpanda.bsky.social•16 days ago

yep sounds about right! they really think their false god created the world for cishet white men. they're such fuckin losers

tinselfire.bsky.social•15 days ago

Emphasis on false since, let's be honest here, none of them are actually particularly religious. They believe in the utility of hierarchy for their own purposes - not really in any supposed god.

gushousekai195.bsky.social•16 days ago

At what point will they discover said god doesn't exist? This god is said to be all-powerful, and therefore, they should be able to snap what they deem evil out of existence... and leave no trace.

But, here we are.

When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, what happens?

flufflordof.bsky.social•16 days ago

These nazis also need a convenient scapegoat to draw attention away from their own pedophilia and people being educated about queerness takes that from them.

smallestpanda.bsky.social•16 days ago

eeyup every accusation is a confession with these weirdos.

also these people are weirdly obsessed with birth rates too...

flufflordof.bsky.social•16 days ago

Hitlerian, you might say.

dogpatch.press•16 days ago

If a club is formally approved/funded by a school, and the school answers to the government, and the club is not just for straight white men, watch out...

dogpatch.press•16 days ago

Here's the now-deleted letter about furries, sent to university president Randy Boyd by Republican rep Timothy Burchett. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Burchett

dogpatch.press•16 days ago

Burchett is on a subcommittee overseeing Trump's Department of Government Efficiency. He says about school shootings: "there's not a whole heck of a lot you can do about it." He believes the government has covered up UFO's and hid aliens since the 1940's and aliens have secret underwater bases.

The University of Tennessee student run newspaper featured the UTK Furries club two months ago. https://www.utdailybeacon.com/arts_and_culture/campus_events/utk-furries-a-safe-space/article_3fbfd9d8-b1a6-11ef-9b25-038403f73fc6.html

dogpatch.press•16 days ago

What sinister plots are the furries up to? Could they be part of the alien invasion threatening the safety of good straight Americans? Maybe Burchett needs a probe to find out. 🤔

dogpatch.press•16 days ago

If students need help from a Congressman to get safety from furries, they picked the one who said "we're not gonna fix it" about school shootings, proposed they need a Christian revival, and homeschools his own daughter so he doesn't have to worry about it. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/tennessee-rep-burchett-says-school-shootings-re-not-gonna-fix-rcna77185

"Without fear of persecution? What nonsense is that. I love persecution for differences!"

jalixe.bsky.social•15 days ago

A lot of these Republicans are idiots too! Every single public university club is self funded which is why they do fundraisers on campus. Other clubs require membership fees.

Do these morons not have a social life or something?

nedwyyyyyn.bsky.social•13 days ago

The only acceptable response:

Dear Tim,

It has come to my attention that you should go fuck yourself.

I appreciate your attention to this matter, and I await your reply,

Sincerely, Mr. Boyd

bomberfox.bsky.social•15 days ago

And many other days except Christmas.

blueskymusic2024.bsky.social•16 days ago

Isn't Burshitt the drawling tw@t that gave dismissed school shooting with "Y'all need more WHITE Jeebus?" Why yes. YES he is!

jalixe.bsky.social•15 days ago

curiously, he's ignoring the fact that college Republicans on that campus said that "consent is for libtards" implying that rape is okay

right-wingers are exceptionally awful and socially stunted in comparison to the average person, I think that's why the politician retracted his statement

jalixe.bsky.social•15 days ago

they even defended it with a laugh crying emoji

realkurox.bsky.social•12 days ago

Sounds about right. It's one of the default replies these bots give out anyways.

emeraldxmusic.com•16 days ago

If there's anything I can do to help the club, I'd be more than willing to contribute.

lilnoodledragon.bsky.social•16 days ago

Being unapologetically weird, fringe, punk, kink, furry, gay, trans, etc. is in itself antifascist. The want the world to consist of only straight white men and subservient straight white women. Exist as yourself to the fullest potential and tell them FUCK YOU

diothetuatara.bsky.social•16 days ago

“No Pawlitics” is dead. Never an excuse now and forever

marshiepup.bsky.social•16 days ago

Politics can leave the fandom when our existence isn't political. That includes the LGBT community, and the Furry community at large.

We didn't make it so, but we will fight back.

jalixe.bsky.social•15 days ago

I'm glad that out of most nerd communities, most furries were sensible enough to ban right-wing shit from the getgo.

siegfriedwatson.bsky.social•14 days ago

You say that, but there's a shit load more right-wing furries than there needs to be. Some are getting disciplined for hate, but many remain out there spreading vitriol and transphobia within the fandom.

kaputotter.bsky.social•13 days ago

There will always be RWNJs in every little corner. There's no end to fighting for justice and against bigotry. What really matters is how the fandom at large handles these things. And I think events like Yiannopoulis being banned from FurFest really say something about us as a fandom.

jalixe.bsky.social•14 days ago

weebs refuse to acknowledge that the issue exists at all and bigots have a huge following. in contrast, the right-wing ones are fringe

siegfriedwatson.bsky.social•14 days ago

I know the nsfw anime and kemono communities have a real problem with pedophiles and rightwingers attempting to infiltrate them... I report more than a dozen profiles when I visit Pixiv these days... *sigh*

drpopcorn-nsfw.bsky.social•13 days ago

Somebody should definitely kill this guy

kinkyturtle.bsky.social•13 days ago

Damn

Meanwhile in Ohio, clubs that should be focused on dismantling, especially with the VP once being a representative~

Don't worry, motherfuckers rentals and their flags have been burned.

gushousekai195.bsky.social•16 days ago

How much worse will this get?! Who will we be living without on the other end?!!

jalixe.bsky.social•15 days ago

If DOGE is of any indication, the current GOP is ran by incompetent nazi troll interns who never had a normal social life.

gushousekai195.bsky.social•15 days ago

I can’t help but feel it’s only a matter of time before a close friend of mine or two become victims of their agenda. I’d be inconsolable knowing they had failed to achieve their life’s goals and live their dreams.

There may not be an afterlife, no matter what we believe. Belief isn’t always truth.

latro.bsky.social•12 days ago

Imagine being a bunch of old white men and getting mad about furries while wearing suits and standing in front of flags. Imagine printing the words "I am writing to inquire about a furry club," on fancy Congressional stationery.

How very, deeply embarrassing for them. 😂

bomberfox.bsky.social•15 days ago

We cant even use any funds to commemorate MLK day and holocaust remembrance day.

armoredchocobo.bsky.social•16 days ago

you do NOT want to fuck with Furries

Elon’s Cronies have nothing on the levels they’ve infiltrated

munagedaydream.bsky.social•7 days ago

Considering the IT world is run by furries, Elon better watch out. 😺
