Aww. I can't imagine anyone being treated like dirt at the Merry Pranksters / Prankster Isle. That is my love Fairplay and my favorite musical venue, even though we haven't visited in a long time.

My question is - is it a 'no furries' rule, or a 'no non-humans' rule?

Because earlier this evening i said I'd noticed a trend within SL especially by LL, to sort of really push the whole modern humans thing as a whole.

There was a Linden who was a little octopus. Gave office hours that way too! It was awesome because his typing anim used his two front tentacles.

IMO the internet has chilled CONSIDERABLY on the wide-open furry hate over the last while, but there's still some of it around. Mostly it seems to be out-of-touch people who last heard about furries when it was in to hate on them and aren't aware things have shifted since then.
I think part of the furry hate is because of how LGBTQI+ friendly furry is, compared to other geek subcultures.

Don't kid yourself,i seen some fursuits with a Lesbian,Gay,Bisexual,and Transgender pride flags and even in some art as well.


A few years or months back someone from Something Awful admitted that most of the furry hate was based on homophobia.

Oh I think that's almost ALL of what furry hate is. Furries are a safe proxy at which straight people can vent their fear and discomfort with non-heteronormative identities in general.

I think part of the reason the furry hate is waned is because, in the US at least, venting hatred at gays directly has been mainstreamed by the right-wing again so a safe proxy isn't needed anymore.

Well, some on the altreich have been saying stuff about furries in schools using litter boxes which is a rumor.

I just found a Medieval Fantasy Aquatic Role-play sim.

6) No anthro/furries or anime looking avatars please.
No kelpies, hippocampi, or anything to do with Singapore. 🙃

I think when they started calling people "furfags" the mask came off.

So, when playing Champions Online, I had people who accused me of that and of being into vore, even while they could hear my voice since I was DJing, but I just sort of did my 'feed the trolls' and they actually started treating me with respect [I was a winged fox-person].

If I remember right, scripture compares him to "the lamb of God". A ritual sacrifice to take away sins i.e. when Abraham substituted a ram for sacrificing his son Issac. So Jesus is God's sacrifice for humanity.

I'm not in the right mind-frame to understand it, either. Something about ancient contract law and sacrificial rituals. I remember in that period oaths and verbal contracts were binding, with the consequence of losing one's reputation within the local community being a really, really BAD THING.

Sorry, I've a habit of "going in deep", especially when there's a puzzle.

This is hurting my brain; I don't want to go there anymore.

Or possibly a lion, because that's what C. S. Lewis picked.

What gets me is theses places rejecting furries are less likely to get any tips/donations/ect from the normies they want to pander to.

I have a guilty secret place that's actually "no furry" but it's a kink place around heels and nylons so I kinda see where they're coming from...they want what they want (which happens to be nylons on skin).

But they're also empty most of the times I go there ...also most of the time I go there, I'm in jeans and flats....
