Apologies, can you color code the states so that it’s easier to read?

Hey man, I’m future you. I here to give past me a warning. You keep looking like a complete fool and when you look for evidence to support your false claims, it turns out you were wrong the whole time, so you built a time machine to stop yourself. Anyway, the warning is to only use 1.11 Jiggawatts, as you miss the return time to stop yourself from looking foolish by about a day. Good luck!

I used to as well until I looked into it, which is why I now know way, way more than anyone really needs to (there is… a lot.) Anyway, figured I’d explain just in case. You didn’t seem like you had bad intentions, so thanks for being understanding.

A furry is someone that identifies with anthropomorphic animal characters (or sometimes just animal characteristics). No dressing up required. Now, a lot of the people that go to cons tend to have more money, so you will see more fursuits and such, but most furries do not dress up.

You are right, but a lot of the roots of furry criticism do tend to be queerphobic in origin. It’s just something to recognize.

I’m using kink in a pretty generic way because a lot of the criticisms of furries relate to sex (e.g. beastiality or pedophilia), and thus any depiction of kink (like bondage gear) is used to demonize them that it’s a fetish (and one that is coming for your children.)

There is a significantly higher proportion of LGBTQ+ representation within the furry community than the general populace, and it makes sense why. Fursonas are another way to explore sexual and gender identities in a safe way, and furry communities tend to be pretty accepting places.

This is just my opinion, but I see kink in the furry community criticized the same way I see kink at Pride events criticized.

Ah, so we’re allowed to do anything bad to someone if their parents do it first?

I’m glad we can punish the children of criminals for their parents’ crimes.

I am forced to kill the frog. Truly there is no fun to be had making fun of someone without the faculties to understand they’re being made fun of.

I assume you’re probably a mid to late teen, but, regardless, I think you should hit those books. Knowledge is power, and, uh, you probably need a lot of power.
