    When you don’t know what “anthropomorphic” means.

    Getting the dog catcher to arrest my principal because he was acting human-shaped.

      I suspect it will be a higher number after this.

      But since it was never an actual problem, doing something about it was never the point of a bill like this either.

          Me. So called active shooter situations are often without active shooters, take hours and it is ableism to ignore the divinity and bodily functions of us people, who rather piss only people and ourselves in consensual settings. In any case schools don’t really care about facilitating good urination experiences.

            The problem isn’t pissing on (actual) active shooter situations then, it’s having these situations for no reason. If they’re drills, then you should be able to excuse yourself to go to the bathroom. I can’t think of any other reason a school would specifically go to “active shooter situation” for hours without an actual shooter.

            Whatever it is, if it’s a real risk then it’s still better to wet yourself than risk your life to go to the litter box. If it’s not then the protocol needs working on: why is it taking so long? why can’t you go to the bathroom when there’s no danger?

    This could mean that the right is realising they can’t win the battle for trans rights. The right wing will try to find an “acceptable target” to spread hate about, in order to get their foot in the door and spread more hatred and prejudice for other groups. The fact that they’re increasingly focusing on furries means that they realise they’re slowly but surely losing their battle against trans rights and are trying to pivot to another target. I expect to see all their usual claims soon, talking about how furries are sexual predators, weird stuff about bathrooms (they already had that litterbox bullshit) accusations of grooming children, accusations of people being “secret furries” or something. It’ll be rough for them.

      It is thinkable, but to be honest the right does attack multiple targets at once, often without easing the general pressure onto other targets. This is true for the NSDAP before and after 1933, it is true for conservative evangelicals in Germany after the 70s, 90s or 2010s and the right extreme ethno nationalist identitary movement in German speaking countries.

      In terms of campaign pressure it might be that there will be a relative weakening of agitation in campaigns against our trans comrades, I doubt it though. Not only cause quite a few of furry friend do identify as somewhat trans (often more politicized people or those longer in the community).

      I do think the targeting is more aligned in trying to bind beastiality, lack of consent and conservative nightmare fantasies and homophobia, transphobia and perversion together as they did with anti gay action in the 60s and 70s in central Europe and the USA.

        I’m with you on this one. It’s beyond optimistic to hope that the fash are gonna run out of hate and have to start rationing it out.

    I was going to post this but I got so tired and bored trying to come up with something snappy about how saying things like

    “We’re there to educate. We’re not there to teach sexual habits.”

    regarding little kids meowing or playing at being a puppy dog is so incredibly perverse. And this joke has been ongoing for years now. Don’t these people have any self awareness at all? It’s like not even fun to point it out.

    Eventually we will all be subjected to leaks of this guy’s weird patreon subscriptions or something… He’s the one introducing sex nobody else is.

        the joke is that he’s the one who has children playing = sex on the brain. him and the people like him. they see a child meowing and they immediately start thinking of all kinds of weird sex things. so the joke is that they are telling on themselves, telling how they really think, but trying to project it onto others. but they are the ones being weird pervs.

    Nothing like being told “suck it up, buttercup” by people who think it should be a felony to do anything that mildly annoys them.

    Like bro, how will you feel superior to anyone when anyone who elicits your feelings of superiority gets thrown in prison?
