Obvious answer: institutional backing.
But I wonder why troons succeeded in garnering this kind of support while furries failed. I pull a complete blank on why. If anything, the ridiculousness of denying one's own gender is just as ridiculous as denying one's own species.
The similarities are uncanny:
- Origins in the pride/gay rights bullshit
- Delusions of self: "I am not what I am, I am what I imagine."
- Cluster effect: exposure to trannies creates trannies, just like exposure to furries creates furries.
- Insufferable personalities and overbearing self-inserting into normal spaces.
- Claiming negative reactions of the previous point as prosecution. "Literal Trans Genocide" vs "Fursecution"
- Expensive conversion to one's perfect form: Chopadickectomy vs full body Fursuit.
- Abject degenerate sexual tendencies with zero self restraint
- Subversive even to the concept of normality, seemingly proud to be a deviant.
- Riddled with mental illness: anxiety, depression, prone to violence
Because the furries never tried to?
They never attempted to become a political movement and never made a massive push to force others to participate in their fetish.
Half the sysadmins in the country are furfags but you never saw them making a big push to change their legal name to Firetrax Wolfpaw, turn up to work wearing ears and a tail, and expect to be taken seriously when they tell people they're a wolf. Becuse very few furries think they literally are their 'fursonas'. The very word 'fursona', a take on 'persona', is an acknowledgement that it is not their true self. Hilarious as it may seem, the people dressing up as dogs and masturbating to the idea of eating eachother, are, on average, less detached from reality than the people who wish they were the opposite sex.
If the furries wanted to add an F to the LBGTQIA+ alphabet soup, I am confident that they could do it tomorrow. But they don't, so that tells me that the vast majority of them don't want to.
here here. it's why I've come to be able to tolerate furries a lot more than I can tolerate troons.
it's not that i "tolerate" furries... it's that when they're doing that shit in their own bedrooms, i don't fucking care.
it's all the other sexual degeneracy, particular child grooming, that's so common in the LGBT space... that's child abuse, and it's a crime. funny how #metoo is so quiet on it even though more and more LGBTs keep coming out admitting they were groomed.
shit, the SF choir is over 70% registered sex offenders. and the other 30% weren't exonerated, just that 4chan couldn't successfully dox them.
Same.
I never had a furfag demand I act like they really are a fox.
Why don't they add the F to the alphabet people? They could milk it for victimhood, I guess a lot of them are already milking it by claiming to be queer and non-binary.
I suspect it would draw attention to them that they know they'd be better off without.
Why would they? G is already there. 🤔
Wait, it wouldn't mean "Faggot", although that would probably speed some things up.
Also I am pretty sure most furries saw the drama their predecessors caused and got smarter to deliberately avoid pissing people off, nowadays most of the "problem types" are regressives.
For example in regards to tabletop, Most furries could quickly figure out a little rule called "DO NOT RAPE CANON ESPECIALLY IF WARHAMMER IS INVOLVED!".
