    Honestly this kind of lingo has fallen off so much. Need a captcha that tells the user it will weigh your soul

    This raises some interesting questions, since furries not only have an animal identity, but also are along the anthro spectrum somewhere between human and animal form. Very few furries identify as someone who looks like they could star in The Lion King.

    Of course, when people identify as gay or lesbian, they don’t necessarily include in their identity where they are on the Kinsey scale.

    And then, plenty of trans folk, witches and other people who change their name after an important reckoning, still will keep their government name for official purposes (such as depositing paychecks). Also underaged denizens of the internet will acknowledge the risks they take going into 13+ spaces or adult spaces by clicking through age gates (or even spoofing age verification walls).

    That is all to say, we’re flexible.

    Furries know they are human.

    Therians believe they are an animal, but also acknowledge they are in a human body.

    Obviously if youre a therian youre probably a furry, but being a furry does not mean youre a therian. Its a real rectangle-square situation

      Man i have literally never met a single therian that doesn’t get outrageously pissed off when you even remotely suggest they might be a furry. They are rare tho, so i could have just had bad luck.

        I think that’s a “used to be the case” thing, but not the case now, or at least those ones are much more separated. I know plenty of furry + therian types now, myself included.

        And yes, under zero delusions of body etc. I don’t even think about these prompts, but it’s fun and makes for waggy feels when I see something that’s altered to be more broad. X3

        To be entirely honest, ive never known one, and the ones ive met have been at conventions, so my anecdotes might be skewed.

        The grammar there isn’t incorrect at all. It’s still perfectly valid grammar. It’s just longer and more circuitous than needed, and it sets a weird formal/aristocratic/patronizing tone.

          To me it just reads as someone whose native language would use the present-progressive tense for this kind of statement.

          True, it’s not incorrect grammar in English. It just sounds off because we would typically use the infinitive form to discuss a need like this. That’s not necessarily the case in every language though.

    I’ve had very few interactions with pawb social but some of the early ones was that there were several tankies on there. I’d be wary if any dogpeople are planning on going there, they might be training you into useful disposable hounds. Tankies don’t believe in bodily autonomy or nonconformist beliefs.

      Whoever you interacted with certainly wasn’t representative of Pawb. I’ve been here 3 years and I think I’ve genuinely never seen a tankie on this instance. Wouldn’t be a good instance for them either, as we’re defederated from Lemmygrad and Hexbear.

      Feel free to reach out to network[at]pawb.social if you think there’s issues we haven’t resolved. Lemmy reports can also get resolved by community mods in which case the admin team won’t see it. Masto is far better in that dept.

      I haven’t seen any tankies at all on pawb.

      Not to say there couldn’t be any. Just that I haven’t seen them. If there are any, they’re hiding away in dark crevices where they belong.

    Goddamn this post has a lot of comments.

    Wonder what the image is. My pihole is blocking the domain and … it’s difficult to change.

      The furry site of the fediverse, pawb.social, has a capcha-like thing that says “To prevent spam and content scraping, we’re needing to verify you’re human.”

      Captioned/titled “furries in shambles”

    If any furries need a hand I can tick the box for you, I know its too small for many of your paws and some of you with smaller paws may not want to lie to the kind machine keeping the community safer.
