“This is what I any many others observed” ≠ “These are the values I hold”
Be attentive to what you read instead of selectively interpreting it to match your emotional reaction to the general idea.

Sure, so they aren’t the lunatics shitposting all day. I made another comment expanding on it but in brief, whether it’s fair or not (and it’s not), the kind of furries most people came across during the reputation-forming years were the extremely strident ones who actively enjoyed making people hate them, and it stuck.

“What is truth?” The only thing that matters in terms of establishing a group’s (very much permanent) reputation is what percolates to the general cultural zeitgeist of people who don’t know what the word hypertext means. When the insular furry communities of the Y2K era kicked out the weird freaks who were actively hostile to the ideas of kink consent, consent in general, and non-white people continuing to draw breath, they descended on 4chan and SomethingAwful and various other forums and pretty much instantly solidified the unsuspecting public’s idea of furries as being creepy Nazis. It’s not fair, but you only get one shot at establishing an eternal reputation and it’s more or less completely out of your control.

To be fair, the overlap is substantial.

- Comment on I cannot imagine what lawsuit led to this 5 days ago:
All subjects intending to handle high-energy gamma-leaking portal technology must be informed that they may be informed of applicable regulatory compliance issues. No further compliance information is required or will be provided—and you are an excellent test subject.

Crazy they want nukes now considering how much they hated the first two, everyone’s a critic.

Yeah, I can hallucinate plausible-sounding bullshit with the best of them.

I just use my brain instead, it’s not like it’s difficult.

Skill issue, either don’t use AI or nut up and ignore the hate. If you have difficulty with either option then replace your computer with a vSmile.

If you’re so servile that you feel non-zero discomfort if you don’t assure people you read their email, you might be better suited to a career in shining shoes.
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 2 months ago:
Discovery’s characters are somehow simultaneously boring yet also obnoxious jackasses. The writers of the show apparently thought Star Trek would be more interesting if everyone in the future had, instead of professionalism and humanism, histrionic personality disorder and chronic hemorrhoids.

Yes, I, too, understood the point of the comment.
- Comment on Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site” 3 months ago:
That’s it. It’s the illusion of fairness and it takes away reddit jannies’ ability to show off their powermod status, and that’s the only incentive they have not to use sockpuppets for every sub they mod.

- Comment on Cyclist injuries dropped by half after “hated” cycle lane installed, but mayor still claims scrapped lane largely used as “bike run” for drug dealers to “get through traffic" 4 months ago:
I’m having trouble getting at the real issue for them. Obviously this is a lie, but what’s the truth? Do they hate seeing bicycles run red lights and want to punish them collectively for it (which is at least a human motivation), is it that they just want parking spaces and traffic lanes open for voter-pandering purposes, or is some kind of schizoid aesthetic rejection where they just want bike-riding sissies to stop being a thing?

- Comment on We live in a society or smth 6 months ago:
Yes, among other scandals. That’s why it has been captured and is being debased. The Washington Post is now like Hector’s corpse being dragged and abused in grisly triumph, except there’s no Aphrodite to keep it from rotting.

If anything, this indicates that restaurants should be forced to print menus so it’s as annoying and inconvenient as possible to raise prices.
- Comment on France blocks access to Israeli arms stands at Paris Air Show 6 months ago:
I am shocked by your implication that France would ever engage in performative, insincere grandstanding, especially while simultaneously doing the same thing in a belligerent display of blatant and avowed hypocrisy. France would never do that, that’s why they currently absolutely do not engage in any unethical arms trade, nor are they actively participating in any neocolonialism at all.
