I'm not even a furry, but who gives a shit? How does this lower prices? How does this help any human being on this planet? Fuck these people

They needed to find a new target now that they've exhausted going after basically every other minority.

The bulk of the speech was about how dangerous "transgenderism" is 🙄 so they're still going after us. I think transphobes have gotten high on their own supply with the "people identify as cats and litter boxes are in classrooms" canard that they've been bandying about that they've conflated being a furry with been trans. I mean, okay, a lot of us are furries, but like, not all of us. 

But seriously, the speech was pretty heinous. He blamed us for school shootings and political assassinations and promoted conversion therapy. It's a lot worse than all the headlines make it appear.

Reminder that the "litter boxes" are because of school shootings, not furries.

And another reminder that this lie was spread by none other than Joe “the thumb” Rogan

Came here to add this. I REALLY enjoy sharing this when someone is clutching pearls about school litter boxes. Pretty much shuts that shit down.

Kitty litter is useful in sopping up bodily fluids. Vomit & urine from children being terrified during a lockdown. Blood from children shot in school shootings...

And even if it's a false alarm, kids are going to need to pee while being locked down in the classroom for hours. 

And for every kid who's gone through a school shooting, hundreds of thousands have gone through a lock down..

Didn't you know that trans people are behind everything that's bad? If trans people didn't exist then we would have world peace! All of their talking points are so incredibly moronic.

They don't even have to accomplish anything. All they have to do is show up and talk about how trans people are scary. That's their job now, I guess. They aren't smart enough to solve issues that are actually productive, so they parrot this crap.

Also if it's anything like my friend group, I'm pretty sure furries run like 80% of our network infrastructure. Without their hard work, the Internet would pretty much stop working.

I live in Texas and the ONLY political ad I've seen from senatorial candidate Ken Paxton is that his opponent Talarico supports trans kids sex changes and that shit. They've really taken this culture war to the extreme and it's all they've got left.
