green except too damn hot @green@awoo.space

to be fair, there's also a change in their behavior when dealing with different assholes, so that's kind of a cheat. but their scolding also *sounds* different, and when you can't see their behavior that can help identify what to look for.

I heard the crow's Asshole Alert System activate, but couldn't see what they were upset about. by the sound I would guess a coyote, though I didn't see one, which isn't too surprising since they were a little ways away through the forest. I can just about tell the difference between the "ground asshole" and "flying asshole" calls. XD

@Elizafox dunno if it's the same group, but a local bunch of sexuality police "WE'RE JUST IN THIS FOR THE CARTOON ANIMALS HONEST" held a "squeaky clean" furry convention here a couple of weeks ago. you may have heard of it; they had the overwhelming public support of ~32~ attendees--which is less than the number of people that attended the not-convention #Bandaza2017 last night. so if it's any consolation, the weirdos are winning by a long shot. ;)

@Elizafox nope, it's just... the stream of embarrassing bullshit has become an endless torrent, and we're fucking tired. but no, he's still doing the embarrassing bullshit strong as ever. :|

@Azure @Elizafox some successfully navigated the respectability politics rapids and have rebranded themselves as "progressive comic people" (I could literally name a name and you'd probably know *exactly* what I'm talking about), some fell into the endless sucking black void of authoritarianism, but most of them just drifted away and shut up, which is exactly what we'd been hoping they'd do from the start. XD

@Elizafox yeeeeeep. seems to be the typical curve for people who make authoritarianism their fetish. >___<

@Elizafox to my eternal shame, for a while there I hung out with the Burned Fur crew, and yeah... I've seen the "prurience police" in full uniform, with the boots and flamethrowers, and been just *boggled* by the cognitive dissonance that needs to be maintained to justify it.

@Elizafox I mean, I was (intimately) familiar with the "furry fans vs. furry lifestylers" flamewar, and it was always clear that therians/otherkin were on the "lifestyler" side of that divide, but I never experienced therian *vs.* otherkin hostility first-hand. I'm sorry that you have, and can only say that I don't come from that background. :/

@Kistaro um... literally, yes, good point. although I haven't gotten to participate in the owl-stuffing firsthand; owls are generally staff-only, so I haven't been able to physically participate in tube-feeding them or shoving them into the kennels in the ward, but I have definitely been part of an owl-stuffing support team! XD

@Elizafox coming back to this because the community I hang with here is *very*--integrated, shall we say, between furry, otherkin, therian, and others, with minimal friction, and that's been my experience generally; but last night I asked a group of mixed furry-esque folks about it, and was assured that there's that kind of history. I just somehow *missed all of it*.
