I Just Can't Argue With That.

Need to spread the word on this one.

For a number of years, I helped run (read "was an incredibly minor cog in the vast machine that was) an anime con at a big convention center. Being an anime con, there were, of course, tons of cosplayers, and a number of costumes that fit somewhere or another in the "Furry" spectrum. And in the con's message board, some people were *incredibly* worked up over the notions that furries would attend the convention. Like, telling us that if we didn't keep the furries out, they'd have orgies in the middle of the lobby.

It was so, so stupid.

But I can't just dismiss that as stupidity any more-- not after someone literally used chemical warfare to attack Midwest Fur Fest.

Seriously, what is WRONG with these people? Let furries be furry. I promise you that they don't have orgies in public; the hotel staff wouldn't let them and, worse, they might damage their expensive fursuits!

tired of those normies making the most reactionary videos on furries, as if the community doesn't mostly consist of queer, neurodivergent, and kink positive folks of many difficult backgrounds.

How could I not preserve and share such beautiful sarcasm?

Staff have done their best to hide this post, OP's blog has been deleted to hide it. Spread this post as much as you can (ideally through screenshots to avoid it being nuked)

100% this. Why is it bad if the people who own tons of land lose money? Fuck those guys!

Sounds like a heck of a move.

Turning off reblogs for every post on the site is an unconventional move, but let's see where they're going with this.

I hope someone reads this somewhere and it saves a life.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE Let’s say it’s 6.15pm and you’re going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!! NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE… Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can perhaps buy precious time to get themselves to a phone and dial 911.

Y'know, I've also read some SF with the same basic premise, believe it or not. And urban fantasy. I'm not going to name names, but wow, "Transparent Author Insert who is in a new world where they're SUDDENLY APPRECIATED and BETTER THAN EVERYONE" is a popular genre for some authors.

"But if this other world has always operated according to video game logic, why is the isekai protagonist literally the first person to figure out all these basic mechanical exploints" well, largely because litRPG isekai is merely the latest flavour of I've Been Transported To Another World Where Everyone Is Stupid Except For Me, a venerable genre that's been a going concern at least since Mark Twain.

When I was a kid, it was American sci-fi authors writing stories about shitass engineering majors getting portal-fantasied to alien planets and single-handedly saving civilisation on the strength of being the only person in the world who knows what a flowchart is, and very little has changed – right down to the weirdly inverted character arcs where the loser protagonist discovers that they don't actually need to engage in any self-reflection at all because the very traits that rendered them odious in their native society are what make them God here.

Oh HELL yeah. And I try to tell you who you are, too.
