    An argument I overheard recently:

    “…I think he’s a furry.”

    “Well, furries are people too.”

    “No, Dave, I’m pretty sure they’re not, that’s the whole point.”

      I think in fantasy you do have what can only be called non-human people. The word definition for the word “person” tends to include “human,” but only because in real like human persons are the only ones that exist.

      • erin@piefed.blahaj.zone ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I’ve had enough non-human friends that I extend the definition to other animals. I’ve personally known dogs and cats that display remarkable personality and emotional intelligence, not to mention all the great examples of non-human animal communication and love available online. Animals are such people, when you get to know them.

        Sadly, in the US, we have non-human persons. They’re called corporations, and for the moment they have more rights than humans do.

        Furries count as human persons, even if they identify as another kind of beastie.

      Well, "people" and "humans" aren't the same thing. One's a subset of the other.

      Problem with getting too philosophical here is that someday soon the bots might also count as a subset. Then things get really complicated.

      If furries aren’t people; Then furries fucking animals isn’t beastiality.

      This is a very slippery slope. 😓

        Furries who engage in erotic furry play (sometimes called yiffing ) partner with other furries, not with actual animals.

        Anyway, they are persons and have rights, although the MAGA movement would very much like to strip them of their rights, regard them as mentally ill and disabled, and confine them to institutions. But then, MAGA wants to strip rights of anyone who isn’t MAGA.

        The grammar there isn’t incorrect at all. It’s just longer and more circuitous than needed, and it sets a weird formal/aristocratic/patronizing tone.

    Furries know they are human.

    Therians believe they are an animal, but also acknowledge they are in a human body.

    Obviously if youre a therian youre probably a furry, but being a furry does not mean youre a therian. Its a real rectangle-square situation

    source
    • Seralth@piefed.seralth.com ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Man i have literally never met a single therian that doesn’t get outrageously pissed off when you even remotely suggest they might be a furry. They are rare tho, so i could have just had bad luck.

      source
      • Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        To be entirely honest, ive never known one, and the ones ive met have been at conventions, so my anecdotes might be skewed.

      • kayohtie@pawb.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I think that’s a “used to be the case” thing, but not the case now, or at least those ones are much more separated. I know plenty of furry + therian types now, myself included.

        And yes, under zero delusions of body etc. I don’t even think about these prompts, but it’s fun and makes for waggy feels when I see something that’s altered to be more broad. X3

        source
      • PonyOfWar@pawb.social ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Yep, there’s a little bit of overlap, but it’s mostly two separate things entirely.

    Cloudflare can identify if someone is capable of using humanlike interactions for purpose of determining whether or not they are automated systems. But I don’t think they have the capability of deciding who is also cute and fluffy.

    source
  • uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    This raises some interesting questions, since furries not only have an animal identity, but also are along the anthro spectrum somewhere between human and animal form. Very few furries identify as someone who looks like they could star in The Lion King.

    Of course, when people identify as gay or lesbian, they don’t necessarily include in their identity where they are on the Kinsey scale.

    And then, plenty of trans folk, witches and other people who change their name after an important reckoning, still will keep their government name for official purposes (such as depositing paychecks). Also underaged denizens of the internet will acknowledge the risks they take going into 13+ spaces or adult spaces by clicking through age gates (or even spoofing age verification walls).

    That is all to say, we’re flexible.

  • spankysalmon@fedinsfw.app ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Hey hey only therians believe they’re actually a different animal. Most furries just vibe well with animals, sometimes more than other humans, and I mean, have you met other humans?

    I’ve had very few interactions with pawb social but some of the early ones was that there were several tankies on there. I’d be wary if any dogpeople are planning on going there, they might be training you into useful disposable hounds. Tankies don’t believe in bodily autonomy or nonconformist beliefs.

    source
    • crashdoom@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Feel free to reach out to network[at]pawb.social if you think there’s issues we haven’t resolved. Lemmy reports can also get resolved by community mods in which case the admin team won’t see it. Masto is far better in that dept.

      source
    • PonyOfWar@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Whoever you interacted with certainly wasn’t representative of Pawb. I’ve been here 3 years and I think I’ve genuinely never seen a tankie on this instance. Wouldn’t be a good instance for them either, as we’re defederated from Lemmygrad and Hexbear.

      source
    • OwOarchist@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I haven’t seen any tankies at all on pawb.

        Is it possible to modify the loading page thing for Anubis to change the logo? Pawb should use it, but make the image Neferu from Adastra instead of the anime detective girl.
