FIRST SALVOS HAVE BEEN FIRED
10 years ago
So ive been trying to bring peace and clear up confusion about the community in my house but those attempts have been met with stiff resistace and hostilities. so effectively the first salvos have been fired and im right in the firing line.
to put it, im a little cruiser being shelled by a battleship of the line. why the hostilities? my folks see furries as not normal. “god made us perfect. he did not want us to become something else.” so having a hobby or interest in something you're not is wrong and not normal? what is normal is subjective, what is normal to one is not normal to another. unless we have established a universal understanding of what is normal, “normal” is subject to interpretation. sadly this statement was met with resistance, “do not make this a philosophical argument!” in other words, “do not defend your position with logic or reasoning because our minds are made up and your points are invalid.” so making an informed argument is impossible.

then present them a list of your friends that have your back and show them (wheter they believe it or not) that we have our freaks, but we're ok. You could go and join ISIS or the KKK or pick up a drug habit any any point, but you chose not to.

you joined the furry club, tell them that if they want you to leave the furry community. that they should leave their circle of friends.
Try that. But, given their response to your logic statement, its a futile attempt to try to convince them.
You might do what I did, and leave suddenly without notice, with only a note left sharing your thoughts. That hit home with my parents.
