    As a furry, this is uh, worrying.

    Really glad we’re not in the UK. Though uh, not like the US is much better at this point… but at least the US has the whole “everyone understands that the current government is going on a series of ridiculous power trips” going for it, so they’re less inclined to just think “ah yeah, throw all the weirdos in jail, totally normal!”.

    (I’m not into incest, but I am into completely different Weird Shit.)

      Honestly even explicit content aside, I’m afraid of being lumped in with some group that’s staring down the end of the barrel. Even though furries seem valuable to STEM jobs, the large LGBT presence and general ‘weirdness’ make it seem easy for us to be given some degenerate label.

      “First, they get into being furries, then it’s yiffing, and the next thing you know, they’re having sex with animals. Will nobody think of the foxes and pandas?”

      “ah yeah, throw all the weirdos in jail, totally normal!”

      No one here thinks that aside from the government. From my understanding there’s already statewide bans for porn in general across the US for all platforms refusing to comply with ID verification mandates.

      I definitely wouldn’t rank the US as superior in this situation.
