Applies to furries as well :)

it’s 2025 and people still pretend to hate furries lol

Bro thinks this is 2014 frfr
- furry hate in 2005 was 100% homophobia lol it's never really gone away either. it's largely that nowadays too. it's a way to hate queer people without outwardly hating queer people. they think we don't see it. it's also just dumb as hell and a waste of your one life to spend any amount of time literally hating people for a hobby that involves playing pretend and using their imagination. oh no, the horror, they can access something you can't anymore.
pretend
- dude lol it's fine. it's a hobby. you know it, i know it, everyone knows it. zoomers are fine with furries, alpha even more so. you're not going to win this just stop. it's so dumb.
Hate? I dont think its hate to be ambivalent.
- ambivalence isn’t when you write the opinions of an entire group of people off because they’re weird
Its 2025 and some idiot ignores people bssed on some inscrutable social cue as well
Just not smart.

Some of the best advice on cryptography comes from a site full of furry illustrations. A good chunk of infosec community intersects with a furry community.

But hey, you do you.

Woawsers, one terminally online group deadass interacts heartily with another terminally online group???
How does this happen??
How could one kid about such a pairing???
- personally i think its the tism (im an autistic software engineer who also runs into both groups online constantly, dont kill me)
  maybe you got the tism as well
- You must be very fun at parties

chat can we not just post thinly veiled bigotry? is respecting other's interests too hard now?

This guy has been hating on furries for no reason for a long time now. In fact I feel vindicated in one of my previous comments made at this guy
Thinly veiled bigotry
I wasn't aware you could be bigoted against just furries, but if so, this is fully unveiled, get it right!

Hmmmm... In that scene he was lying. He very much did care. So the meme is really saying that you do care about what people with anime profile pics say, but you just don't want to admit it... 😆

Also I'd rather care about the opinion of anime addicts and furries that about the opinion of intolerant assholes.

- Cop guns really are like "the call of the void" aren't they? All I know is if I'm ever trapped in a Groundhog Day time loop, one of the first things I'm doing is grabbing a cop's gun. I don't want to grab it and shoot anyone with it. I just want to grab it and run off into the distance, cackling with glee like a madman.

Its a way of being

Holy macaroni, the seething. Remember this thread next time Lemmy wants to pretend it's better than Reddit.

Was thinking the opposite, thought lemmy was above the unprompted furry bashing and this post made me doubt the maturity of a lot of people here.
- You're on the shitposting community. Unprompted bashing is the norm, you're not supposed to have a meltdown about it.

How about a spinning skull gif?

I'm sorry, but if it isn't a bronze age statue head or a girl in a bikini laying on the hood of a sports car, I assume this person doesn't have the IQ sufficient for my wit and wisdom.

as someone who's barely watched any anime and doesn't really get furries at all... uh, what. of all the things people can be into, these are the some of least relevant to one's opinions.

someone who has "AI" "art" as pfp? someone who has a flag as their pfp? someone with greek statue or roman soldier as pfp? tell you so much about the person and how fucking worthless their opinions must be. furries? they're just into anthropomorphic animals for some reason dude, i don't care.

- "it's a prank bro" in the year of our lord 2025? do better
doesn’t really get furries at all…

🤔 Maybe check yourself.
- speaking of checking, maybe check my comment again and point to me where i said i have a problem with it.

I see we're picking and choosing which shit posts we take seriously here

As a wise man once said:
- fake taking it serious for the meme
Can you blame them? It's become extremely hard to differentiate between someone being an ass and someone hidding hate in a joke.
I think the post is meh at most but most of us are on edge... For good reasons.

ad hominem

Furry anime avatars get a block.

And I thought Lemmy was an open and accepting space
- This genuinely sounds like an interaction between two „gigachad super based“ 14 year olds. Op even replying with a gigachad image.
"Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road Life grabs you by the wrist, directs you were to go..."

Ohh look who cares SO MUCH what other people's avatars look like

Imagine the flak you get looking as gay as a rainbow online, SMH my head

Anime people are the best. I am downvoting.

"Me when the person I'm talking to isn't white"

"My deviance is totally the same thing as ethnicity or gender"
😜

Incredibly based, you got them to crawl out lmao. How did such a bad bait work so well?

for me it doesnt applies to furries, furries are infact more likely to be right in my personal experience :3

Weeb detected, opinion rejected

As a weeabo, fine, make fun of us. But I'm tired of people crusading furries and I'm not even one of them.

100%, furries get way too much hate. Especially considering how chill they're usually are.
Though honestly unless your pfp betrays some insane political affiliation it shouldn't have relevance on how you see someones reply. I know this is a shitpost but people do that for real. I think my favorite are the xitter boomers dismissing people because their avatar isn't a selfie and they don't using their real names.

I am curious what is an acceptable avatar now

What the fuck is an avatar, do those exist on lemmy?
- Avatar, profile picture, pfp, icon. Same thing.
- You can't fool me, Zuko!
Grey scale 5x5 pixels of actors that have never grossed over $5,000 for a movie. Everything else is just posing.

I just turn off profile pictures. I don’t care what anyone looks like, if I did I’d be on Instagram or some other garbage corpo shit.

I didn’t even know there were profile pics? I’m guessing that’s not an enabled feature for Voyager maybe?
- Voyager has no PFPs because it’s pretty much Apollo from Reddit which also had no PFPs
  Um not sure if there’s an option only because I haven’t seen one
- I’m on Mlem for iOS.
Some of them can be funny, one user has a gif of a loading icon that gives me a chuckle every time I see it
- one user has a gif

except for programming cause the anime pfp people are usually cracked at that

As someone with an anime profile Pic, that's fair

Alack, alas, I am bound by the terms of my own meme. So even though you show great wisdom,

Oh well, thank you for your service

jokes on you, the last thing I want is people taking me too seriously

Same lass!

Is my furry pfp okay though?

Straight to jail I'm afraid.

It's true

Also applies to virtue signalers with fragile masculinity.

Edit: you know votes are public? Fragile ass

No way you called someone fragile after looking up the name of the user who pushed the meany button on your comment
Ooh! Ooh! Post my downvote next! Pick me!
Goddamn, that's quite a shitty way to use Lemvotes. Add my downvote to your edit, please

It's because they can't stop getting boners when being reminded of the hentai they watched earlier. No biggie

People with quark as their profile pic are super sexy and really good with gold-pressed latinum, I mean money.

Rule of Acquisition #201: Only trust Ferengi
Rule of Acquisition #202: Ferengi are not to be trusted

You got me. I almost got really mad before realizing this is shitpost community

I'll get ya next time :)

Oooh, you struck a nerve with this one!

I care not!

Depends on the anime, IMO. PFP of Yusuke Urameshi or Yang Wen-li/Reinhard von Lohengramm, or even Zero/Lelouch? You might be saying some real shit. 🤷😅

hi sorry can someone who speaks weeb please translate??
- I'm just being a weeb elitist, nothing more to it! 😂
