I have this sinking feeling that two subgroups of my acquaintances in the fandom are gearing up to prove good and hard why sapient beings just can't have nice things.

And if you think I'm not willing to play Fistful Of Dollars with this, you drastically underestimate my level of frustration, cynicism, disappointment, and/or boredom. There's a reason I used to call myself a Social Justice Yojimbo.

@zebratron2084 Unfortunately, you're not the only one.

I'm just going to hide in a hole over here while this all hopefully blows over.

re: fanpol, furpol, cynicism (-) 

@Thaminga Good luck. I will be sure to set my Doomsday Device to "No Werewolves." *nod*

re: fanpol, furpol, cynicism (-) 

@zebratron2084 @Thaminga please tell me this is not anyone’s opinion of me and that I’m blissfully unaware of whatever it is about to go down.

re: fanpol, furpol, cynicism (-) 

@Leucrotta @Thaminga Eeeeyup. Just the winds of Discourse a blowin'. Basically a Very Popular Group Of Furs With A Very Specific And Problematic Kink has members crusading against Furs With An Even More Specific And Problematic Kink, and I have friends on both sides and I'm afraid the best I've got right now is to fire upon any armed parties I see. Anyone in civilian or medic clothes will be spared. =(>).(<)=

@Oneironott @Leucrotta @Thaminga FWIW, I'm kinda curious what exactly happened today and I *am* very concerned if people are giving you shit for your interests...

re: fanpol, furpol, cynicism (-) 

@zebratron2084 @Thaminga oh boy, bullshit! Hopefully I am exempt given that my kinks are exceptionally boring except for [deleted], [redacted], and of course my major thing for [censored].

@zebratron2084 This seems to be the storm brewing, yes.

I will make my Groucho statement of "I'd never want to be part of any group that would have me as a member"... and bow out.

@JulieSqveakaroo Yeah, I think if I do get dragged into it, my allegiance will be everybody on either side saying "Um, I did not sign up for a cultural war, I just had a kink and wanted to enjoy it." Everyone else is potentially subject to shenanigans if I see them trying to "cancel" the other or whatever the fuck. >____<

Do... Do harem silks count as medic clothes? Can genies be considered a support class?

@Phorm I have a lot of trouble seeing you as a steely eyed fanatic dear. :)

@zebratron2084

. . . I think my eyes are mostly green!

(In all seriousness, I have no idea what's going on, but I suspect that I nevertheless do harbor beef toward at least one of these groups. It's just, ya'know, something I grumble about to myself in my bottle most of the time.)
