There seem to be some people on Lemmy who genuinely believe that they are an animal. They say they are an “unperson” or discuss conversing with “animals” who “happen to be born in human bodies”. They see their struggle as on par with the struggle for trans people, and their right to be recognized as animals as a part of a broader societal struggle for queer acceptance.
Well, this is fucking stupid.
First of all, comparing “I’m a puppy uWu” to gender dysphoria trivializes what trans people go through. Furries are not struggling like trans people. They are simply mocking trans people (whether that mockery is intentional or not is besides the point).
Second of all, you’re not a fucking animal bro ffs. Being an animal isn’t a state of mind. It isn’t a vibe. It isn’t a social construct. It isn’t something you’re assigned at birth. It’s about DNA. You have 50% of DNA from a human mom, and 50% of your DNA from a human dad, so you have 100% human DNA (granted maybe you have like 0.1% Neanderthal DNA but whatever). So you’re a human. This shouldn’t be a hard concept to grasp.
If you can speak a human language, and have the mental wherewithal required to use the internet, then you have a HUMAN MIND. And if you “just so happen to be born in a human body” then you have a HUMAN BODY. HUMAN MIND + HUMAN BODY = HUMAN. IT’S ALL HUMAN. YOU ARE HUMAN. Just because you have a bestiality fetish does not make you a fucking bobcat ffs
Once again, you are taking my words hyper-literally. When I say “I don’t have time to do research” I do not mean that I literally cannot set the time aside to research furries. It means that I would prefer to stab my eyes out with a fork than have to spend time reading psychotic dribble written by someone who thinks they are literally a rhinoceros (and no, I don’t mean that I would literally prefer to stab my eyes out)
If we go on long enough, will it turn out that none of your replies are to be taken at face value? Is this whole post also not to be taken literally? Are you, perhaps, a closeted furry waiting to realise their preferences aren’t a mental disorder?
They are 100%.
OP is about 2 steps away from their furry awakening, lol. Nobody who isn’t a furry cares this much about furries.
This may help you
I guess if you call everyone who disagrees with you autistic or mentally ill, that would explain why you’re this ignorant and hateful. Or why you just spout off words without caring about their actual meaning.
So not enabling people’s psychotic delusions is ignorant and hateful now? Got it.
Calling people who think differently from you psychotic is ignorant and hateful, yes. Glad you agree.
You realize that enabling people’s psychosis is actually really dangerous right? This is why ChatGPT can lead to mental breakdowns
If the psychosis is actually existing, yes. You’re just making shit up because you refuse to change your mind.
From Harvard Medical School:
If someone sincerely believes that they are a fish, and this belief persists, is this not (1) a false belief based on an incorrect interpretation of reality which (2) lasts more than one month?
