@kd@yiff.life I'm guessing you're in a faster update ring than me? It's not available on the emoji keyboard on my end.

@punipen@snouts.online Welcome!

@Zeny@snouts.online Mhmm~ The same way we can appreciate media from the '80s and '70s without having been there, even.

(probably one of the reasons why stuff from the '80s got so popular, anyway; aside from the nostalgia baiting that's been going on since the '00s, it's also the first decade in which basically *everyone* had some kind of device to play recorded video at home, along with music becoming far less of a hassle to play with cassettes and later CDs)

@Zeny@snouts.online That's what I like about it, personally; to us folks who were around in the late '90s and/or early '00s it's a nostalgia trip with a big ol' twist, but even if you don't remember any of that it's still an interesting view into a well-built up world with that whole retro charm that stands up perfectly well all by itself.

@Zeny@snouts.online to sum up the Latest Bullshit™: fursuit maker decided to hire a marketing team and rebrand as a Designer Brand™ better than all other fursuit makers, put a couple of not too greatly executed premade suits with tacky branding right on the face mask for sale for the low low price of 6 grand a pop, and got hell for it (as you'd expect, really)

@Venn@snouts.online Yeah, it's... *powerfully* late '00s, and not in a good way.

@Kavaeric@snouts.online tfw you try to cheat on your wife and your wife tries to cheat on you at the same time but you just end up finding each other in the process anyway because you both like a cocktail

@body@mastodon.social Yeet ancaps into the fucking sun tbh

@sydneyfalk @colon_three basically, the phenomenon of having (often significantly) more people coming at your mentions yelling at you on a particular tweet (or post in general, really) than people liking the post in question

@colon_three fortunately, they're already getting ratio'd

So I've been seeing a bunch of posts about trans communit(ies?) shitting on otherkin lately, and I'm just going to go ahead and say this: if you take part in that sort of thing? You're not helping anyone but the people who try to keep you down.

Bigotry is, at its heart, an abusive dynamic applied to an entire section of society, as opposed to individuals like the interpersonal abuse many of us are intimately acquainted with. Abusers do not care how much you try to make them happy, they will only move the goalposts further and further until you've completely bent to their will. Their goal isn't to solve a legitimate problem they have with you, it's to make you suffer.

This dynamic doesn't change when the abuse is less directly personalized.

You don't have anything to gain from trying to appease abusive behavior by throwing other vulnerable groups under the bus in an effort to make yourself fit in. Not only will it likely not help you in the slightest, the only possible victory you can have is to join your oppressors in abusing others. That's not something worth fighting, nor is it justice by any stretch of the imagination.

Next time someone tells you a group of people within your community makes you "look bad" and there's no harm they're doing to anyone else, go after the people telling you that instead.

@kistaro Hey, take all the time you need to recuperate.

Felt like drawing my wolf blimp Andreas, so have a wolf blimp~

Practice sketch that ended up turning into a full picture, whoops.

@anthracite This would be like if I drew porn of my wolves Kaz and Andreas together, and I'm here for it.
