Owning my disagree on this.
And even group threads aren't warranted sometimes. Some kinks/subcultures are insane/lulzy at a first glance, but are actually very samey in the long run so any threads made on them either die or get very repetitive. These people are best used to sprinkle some content on the megathreads whenever they do something particularly idiotic.
I mean maybe but honestly I think the Abdl thread we have needs to be updated because they're full of exceptional lolcows.
“When everyone is super, no one will be.”
I'd only disagree because he simply doesn't seem to yet be proven to produce enough milk. Like cum pizza boy, to get a thread you must produce milk often enough to produce a healthy active thread. Occasional periods of inactivity is fine, but the default state needs to be activity. Many furries only produce milk at cons, and are otherwise not worth making a thread for.
A big part of why the BDSM community finds it easier to function in society is the focus on keeping things discreet and consensual. It's well known amongst that community what they are into is publicly frowned on, so they all keep shit discreet for themselves and each other, and make sure consent is king. Otherwise it can cause some serious problems socially and some pretty nasty psychological damage could be done. It's why that community practices ostracization so intensely. I never understood how the furries never developed similar standards. Though, the BDSM community is significantly less rainbow than the furries. After all, a straight cis furry is practically unheard of, while the BDSM community is only slightly gayer than the general population. Most of the gay people over there have self segregated or been kicked out for exposing the public to their shit, and when you got the motto "safe, sane, and consensual" and you got some asshole exposing the unconsenting public to their kinks, yeah they're going to be booted.
I can't wait for the meltdown when it's revealed that someone lied and got in. Megaplex will be blamed for giving them a pass, bending the rules, or not doing enough.
I'm curious to see some numbers on how many megaplex "attendees" are actually at the con with tickets and all that versus how many are "just in the area" and are only involved with unofficial stuff running alongside it like room parties and the like while "just so happening to be staying at the same location". This little checkbox won't stop any of such people even if they are otherwise honest enough to obey it.
This is a big part of why a lot of the personal lolcows I know of are generally not worth bringing up. They don't have enough drama, or what they have is all IRL. Nothing to point and laugh at or discuss.
As much as I think the BDSM communities have a bunch of compensating sexual losers in it, I can at least respect their sense of decency towards the general population.
You sort of answered your own question there. The BDSM community in general can be pretty strict with its standards and is not afraid to cast people out if they cross the line. The problem is that the furries started out as the outcasts. Even back in the 70s when they were just offshoots of the sci-fi and cartoon fandoms, everybody thought they were weird.
Oh yeah, in my years in the community, which honestly is most of my adult life now, fuck I am a degenerate, I have concluded that on average about 3 out of 10 of the people in it are absolute losers and creeps. The number is honestly kept down due to most of them being kicked out. Everyone in it is a bit weird by its nature, but most are functional, and I'd say its pretty 50/50 on if someone actually has issues that they should be coping with in better ways or not. At least around here it makes me kind of happy that if someone is actually fucked up, the local scene will usually tell them to get professional help rather than coping through sex, and that's mostly just because we don't want to deal with the problems that come with those trying to drown their problems through indulgence.
Strict is an understatement. I happen to know someone in my local scene knows I use this site, and I know they are in this thread, and I know they know which account is mine, and I will absolutely get chewed out for discussing this on a public forum. There's a reason the BDSM community doesn't have as strong of a presence on mainstream social media, but instead sticks near entirely to its own sites.
I am too young to have been particularly aware of furries way back then, but it does make me wonder how furry went from "kinda gay" to "puking rainbows". What makes gay people so much more likely to be furfags?
I went light on how strict I think the BDSM community is because I've got a friend who's way into that and he likes telling me the horror stories that get shared in the circles he's a part of. So my view might be a little biased.
Same reason: being outcasts and taking pride in it.
eh, I've known the same people who are anal about public image later host rope munches where they're tying up people in a public park midday. Public degeneracy is fine so long as it's got their preferred aesthetics
It's pretty intense. Most of it is to ensure safety and discretion. The community often has people whose public reputation matters, so protecting that is a priority, and so the efforts to keep them safe is applied to everyone. I know people who got the boot for using titles in public too many times and being overheard, or for their day collar not being discreet enough. This isn't obvious kink stuff, this is just not meeting a rather draconian level of rules of discretion. I recommend most people to not wear day collars that are literally collars or necklaces, but to stick to bracelets and anklets so they don't have to deal with the obnoxious rules as much.
So generally it's not liked. There's two times public kink is not considered absolutely abhorrent.
Yeah, that's true. We don't have many like that around here, we tend to toss them to the wolves as hypocrites, but I've heard similar stories.
Wow, you kinky weirdos have more rules than I ever would have thought.
Considering half the mayors, representatives, deputies, CEOs and senators out there seem to be into BDSM, it makes sense. If you're some nobody tech support drone from the suburbs, you don't talk to the mayor even though you railed him up the ass while he was tied up and blindfolded.
a lotta people are into this either as they're deeply insecure and want control over others, or deeply insecure and want others to make decisions for them
You don't see 'normal' gays or furries *because* they're normal. There are lots of gays and furries and trans people out there who don't care about being known; they just stick to themselves and don't sperg out and ladderclimb on Twitter. You only see the loud and annoying ones - the vocal minority. The loud and annoying types are also more likely to be interested in seeking validation from other e-losers by being shocking and trooning out, etc.
I dunno anything about this, but if he dislikes babyfurs he’s ok in my book.
