Hey everyone saying "fandom > race" needs to shut the hell up. Stop using the fandom and non human identities to deflect POC critiques of the fandom's racism.

And don't think we don't see past this shit. The same people saying this are people who mock furry lifestyling and nonhuman identities. You're only concerned now because you think you can use those as a shield against critiques of racism in the fandom.

Racism is a very real problem in the furry fandom and trying to shut out critiques of it only makes the fandom look bad as well as weakens it.

And secondly: how fucking dare you use nonhuman identity as a cudgel with which to do so. How fucking dare you. Not in my name.

Take your false concerns and go stuff your elitism right up your tail pipe.
