nickyflowers posts:it would be cool if websites let you be an adult on them. the advertisers and payment processors need everything to be Family Friendly though and their definitions of family and friendly are absolutely fucked. but since they're in charge of the Internet now, no one is allowed to be an adult. tiktokers say things like "unalive" and "seggs" because they know death and sex are too adult for online. online is for idiot babies only now because they're easier to market to
nickyflowers replies:
oh im sorry you're a trans adult? super ban. you are super banned for life. you have upset Visa's feelings. Mastercard is throwing up in the corner. how could you do this to Google Ads?

I don't care if people want to bang fictional anthropomorphized characters. It's not my thing, but aside from that it has absolutely no bearing on my life and doesn't present any kind of moral failing. It's niche, and it's fetish, and sure it's a little odd, but it's harmless.
Even as a non-furry, furries do not deserve to be compared to pedophiles or lolicons.
These are not the same things.
Fantasizing about fucking Tony the Tiger is just in no way comparable to fantasizing about fucking a child without the intellectual or legal capacity for informed enthusiastic consent, and frankly, it's weird as fuck to try and conflate the two.
I also echo the other commenter in saying that I have no idea what "CECOT" is supposed to mean.
