  Furries are normal human beings tho

    My feelings toward furries are entirely neutral and I don’t support the claim that normality is a positive automatically.

    That said, I disagree with your claim.

      How are your feelings towards them neutral if you don’t recognize them as normal human beings? Are they lesser human beings because they like to put on silly costumes?

        Abnormal is not lesser.

        A substantial majority of people do not fetishize (not necessarily sexualize) anthropomorphic animals, dress in ears and tails, or wear full on fursuits. Furries are not normal by definition. Being abnormal is not intrinsically bad.

        It’s generally good! Diversity of thought and behavior, like genetics, leads to healthy and robust systems.

        It’s fine if you are and fine if you aren’t, but this message kinda seems to contrast with your other posts in this thread.

  Tbf it’s rare to see normal people posting on social media in 2024, at least everyone I see is fucked up in some way. And when they claim they’re normal, they’re either lying, or in denial. I feel like I’ve permanently losing sanity by just living in this fucked up world year by year

    I think there’s also something to be said for the 80/20 effect: 80% of the content you see is created by 20% of the user base. Not sure if this is actually true, citation definitionally needed, but I suspect a lot of Internet communities work this way, with a loud (and usually mentally unstable) chronically online minority

    This might be a bold assumption on my part but I would say most normal people do not have the energy for the craziness that occurs on a lot of socials now.

    You want to engage and be a part of the community but it’s just far too exhausting in many cases. Easier to just browse most of the time.

    If you’re talking about microblogging, organising other mediums where your post has meant to be seen by the general public, then you’re right. Typically people are posting for the benefit of friends in family, and don’t really care whether people who are strangers to them knowing what’s going on in their life.
