@shoofle it's built out of a very specific cultural context (postfurry) so if it doesn't resonate that's okay? It's not about you being right for a deck, it's about the deck being right for you, yeah?

@shoofle It's... bah. I'm "a member of that community" and have a lot of complicated feelings. It definitely is filtered through five layers of performance and post-structuralism and post-irony but the core social spaces are also hella gated and elitist; you're not imagining things.

@shoofle It's like, there's an internal cultural conceit that the ideals of postfurry are somehow niche, which becomes self-fulfilling when evangelizing is only directed inwards.

@starkatt @shoofle if i may interject, what is "postfurry" anyway

@typhlosion @shoofle Short version: furry + posthumanism + poststructuralism + cyberpunk.

Much longer answer: a kind of overwrought three-part essay: http://orrery.prismaticmedia.com/2016/12/24/postfurry-101-the-pledge/

@starkatt @shoofle this is really really hard to read and is not helping my comprehension very much ;-;

@typhlosion @shoofle Yeah like basically everything else written about postfurry it's intended for an internal audience, not an external one.

@starkatt @shoofle that seems intensely counterproductive
