I have no idea how this thread is going to go... and frankly, I don't care.

Bigots, expect blocks. There's no need to hate.

Everyone else, if you're reading this... thank a furry.

Hugs.

I never understood the hostility furries have received. It's especially odd when every single one I've known just wants to be left alone to do their own thing.

Given the debt we owe em (seriously this internet thing is kinda neat) just let 'em be.

Having worked with, for, and beside furries throughout my 30 year career, all I can do is shake my head and be completely lost at why you'd care that someone suits up or is drawn to it.

Let folks be folks. It harms you not one iota to take this approach.

The idea that all furries are law breaking or need rounded up is as broken a thought as saying all conservatives are racist.

(actually I'm going to bet that more cons are racist vs fur law breakers)

Now how you react to this info? that's telling on YOU.

Claims that fur folks are all sexual predators are bewildering. Some are, but they're an ultra minority... likely at % equal to non-fur folks.

You don't have to like furries. You don't have to understand them. But they are there. It's like gravity. You might not like it or even believe in it... but it's there... and it's inescapable.

[Mick Douglas 🇺🇦🌻 @bettersafetynet]

And AFAIK in my 30 year career they've always been around.

From my first networking lab at OSU, working on the internet core (UUNet), to the cloud providers today...

Furries have been there. Always.

Fur folks are a major community in the networking scene. As in lots of network engineers are furries or fur adjacent.

Anyone saying otherwise hasn't really worked in this field.

[Mick Douglas 🇺🇦🌻 @bettersafetynet]

I don't say this lightly... the internet would stop w/o furries. Not in a "the marketplace of ideas is poorer for not having them" way.

I mean in a _packets stop flowing_ type way.

Let me explain

I'm floored that I'm feeling compelled to write this. Maybe some folks don't realize this?

Furries. The community everyone loves to rag on... they're a major player at tech orgs.

Let me start by saying I'm not a furry, and personally I don't get the scene... but I respect 'em

@AbbyJohnson The Bible also says women cannot speak or teach Christianity, so if you’re going to preach the Bible, you would know to be silent.
