GIRL COOTIES
19 years ago
Here's something you may or may not have seen yourself that bugs the hell out of me: gay furries who react to depictions of females in a way not unlike how vampires react to sunlight.
Yes, I'm aware that the very definition of being gay is that you do not find such things attractive. No, I'm not against the orientation in any way. Hell, I have a fine appreciation for the cock myself. However, there's this thing called "shutting up about it for one goddamn second so the grownups can talk."
As an example, I have a few friends who sometimes draw things well outside my personal interests. (As should you--if you don't, it means your circle of friends is too narrow, and you need to work on your social skills a little.) One friend of mine occasionally dips into vore, which doesn't really do anything for me. Another does inflation, which is one of only two or three things on the entire planet that actually turn me off. I deal with these by not going out of my way to randomly inform them of this whenever they draw something. Select All, Remove Messages, and holy shit, I somehow managed to not create a scene!
Yes, I'll admit, I occasionally reply to specifically fetish-oriented pictures I like in a way that makes it clear that I do, in fact, possess the fetish in question. I'm not nearly the worst person I know in this regard--there are some genuinely terrifying people who actually make me ashamed of my own interests--but I will still do it occasionally. However, I think there's a bit of a difference between that and replying to something just to tell the artist that it isn't your thing.
In case you're wondering what prompted this, I saw a nice-looking bodypaint photo with two female models. I like bodypaint when it's actually professional-quality, and not...stupid. Anyway, the first reply was something to the effect of "Eww, girls." Thank you for your truly profound contribution to the discussion, good sir. The second was--I shit you not--someone with a rainbow-colored icon with the word "EQUALITY" in large letters, saying something to the effect of "I agree with the first poster; this is too female for my tastes."
...
Mr. Head, meet Mr. Desk. Also, meet Mr. Dictionary.com, which, last time I checked, does not define "equality" as "100% cocks." While you're at it, please shut up.

The tolerate/respect me while I diss you attitude blows me away.
