It Should Go Without Saying
12 years ago
You're sitting in a coffee shop, like Starbucks or one of its competitors, scrolling through news sites on your travel laptop and enjoying yourself a latte (or whatever your favorite drink is). As your eyes dart across a new story about the latest political gaffe, a curious gaze scans over your laptop from across the room and spots the rainbow flag sticker that adorns the opposite side of your laptop screen.
A minute passes, and the figure gets up from his seat and walks over to your table.
"Hello," the figure says. You look up and see that the figure is an average (or even moderately attractive) man.
"Hi," you respond pleasantly.
"I just saw your sticker and thought I'd come say hi," he says a little nervous, unsure of your sexual orientation.
"Ah," you say a little relieved that it's not the "I know you from somewhere. In fact I think I'm supposed to hate you for something you probably did years ago and forgot about" that you fear from strangers. "Feel free to sit down," you add, reaching for your coffee and taking a sip as he obliges.
He seems a little more comfortable with the unspoken confirmation that you are, in fact, a homosexual, so you start to small-talk.
"So how are ya?" you ask with a smile.
The man replies back instantly, "Oh, bored and horny... you know, the usual."

Listen, furry fandom, and all of your sex-crazed members. I understand that many of you are sexually frustrated, lonely, bored, and possibly autistic. But if you're interested in finding a mate (read: boyfriend), and the first thing you say about yourself is that you're bored and horny, all it says to the other person is, "Hello, I view you as little more than a virtual cum dumpster. Please talk dirty to me while I masturbate." I don't know you, I don't even know if we have any interests in common. If you want to masturbate, leave me out of it.
Even creepier are the guys who live in the same area you do, who want to come over and have sex with you the first time you talk with them. To these people, I feel necessary to point out that I have intentionally not checked the "Quick Yiff" box on my Pounced ad. Not that most people even pay attention to these important details. :/
This isn't a one-time occurrence either, it happens all the time, and it's really annoying and disrespectful. Just stop.
