Yeah, makes sense. They're an online community that is famously the gateway drug for rightwing hate groups before they move onto harder stuff. "Execute the furries" into "gays are bad" is basically a core part of the rightwinger life cycle

There's a major overlap between the two groups anyway, so hatred of one is often an easy sign of hatred of the other.

That, and how many furries are in tech related fields says a lot about the health of an online system. If the furries don't want anything to do with it, then it must have an issue of some kind.

I reconnected with some friends I haven't talked to much since covid. I was making fun of how Meta couldn't figure out VR legs at the same time that the furries figured out digitigrade legs and somehow they didn't pickup that I wasn't making fun of furries and one started complaining about furries. Fucking weird that they occupy their headspace like that despite never interacting with them irl.

One of them was also complaining about his comics being blacklisted on various sites for politics when really, his art just sucks and hasn't gotten any better in the decades he's been doing it. The other was complaining about woke games he doesn't have a system to play them with anyway. If you spend more the 30 seconds clowning on Forspoken, you have issues.

No matter how much I fail in life, I know I'll never be as pathetic as people who make fascism their entire personality. The right wing attracts losers like no other group.

This guy texted me around the time Feminist Frequency shutdown all proud and thought I would be happy as well. He was really confused that I just didn't care. I'm not a fan of Anita Sarkeesian, but she's not really involved in any of the games I want to play. It was such a none issue for me.

I try to steer the conversation to games I think are fun, but he just wants to complain about a subcuture he's not even a part of. Like, just play a fucking game instead of having these talking heads pump culture war bs into your ears constantly.

On the flip site, the biggest proponents of Sarkeesian I know irl also don't play video games and the few times I brought up video game thing, I was met with disinterest. Twitter really has rotted people's brains.

I have no idea how that site even still exists. I'm convinced Elong has been genuinely trying to kill it, but it's so cursed that shambles along like those movie zombies that shouldn't even be able to move.
