Yep. Every individual is their own separate bag of physics, chemistry and biology and the only reason there are similarities at all is because natural selection needs offspring to be somewhat like their parents in order to meaningfully naturally-select. And too many people think that evolution tries to produce perfection, when the costs/incentives more often produce something that just barely works. There's no such thing, in the real world, as a species โ that's just an abstraction to make it more convenient to talk about the common characteristics of a load of individuals. Even "male" and "female" are abstractions.

In the last year, Iโve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where Iโve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting worse, despite what techโs โbrightestโ minds might prโฆEdward Zitron (Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At)

Thank you for your post.
A valid point. However, even referring to them as Christian is likely a misnomer.

Complaining about someone's hair color is like complaining about the paint color on someone else's house.
It's not your paint and it's certainly not your fucking house.
Me: plays Minecraft
Me: reads timeline
Me: right, time to get on with some wโ
Brain: oh, I need to do dinner now and tomorrow's grocery delivery needs to be finalised.
In the end I got about 5 seconds of work done today.
Some people say the party doesnโt start til the fox shows up~

Something that has been living in my brain all damn day is this image that a friend sent me!
Fucking love foam rubber creature suits like this.
The TMNT ones especially.
Pluuuuuss.... Ropes n shiz >.>
Combine the 2. MHRRRFFFF!
Incidentally... the thing that got me into the furry scene was FR suits. Investigating FR suits, imagining dragon FR suits >.>
A Jencen shaped foam rubber suit would be jsut.... fuck yes!
I think a lot of people imagine gyms as a roided-up environment full of aggressive guys who will bully you like a beach hunk in one of those old ads, or where everyone will take the mickey if you go and lift starter weights, or where sexual harrassment is the norm.
Maybe my experience is skewed by living in Cambridge, but in ~12 years of going to gyms here, I've never seen an example of those things. I've seen guys supporting and encouraging each other, and talking about feelings in ways I've never seen anywhere else, not even at furcons.
I've seen - I've been - the out-of-shape guy who struggles to move 8 kg dumbbells and nobody batted an eyelid.
If anyone looks like they're ogling you, it's probably because your form is really bad in a way you can't see yourself, or really good and they're about to ask you for advice.
And in all that time, the closest I've ever seen to aggro or fighting is last week, when literally everyone in the room was giving dirty looks to one guy who was making a phone call on his earbuds while walking up and down in people's way.
I honestly wish our nerdy spaces could be so reliably wholesome and supportive.

This is how the US economy really works:

The concept of a "Debt-Based Coolie Economy" refers to a systemic and intentional design within the U.S. economy that relies heavily on debt and low wages to maintain its functionality. This critiqueโฆColin Gajewski (Medium)

Keep seeing things like "a fursuit isn't a replacement for a personality" and other like-minded posts around the fandom and yes I agree
BUT
you need to realise, for a lot of people - particularly furries - a "personality" as you'd call it is something a LOT of neurodivergent people struggle with
I was mute until I was like 14-15, I was absolutely terrified of every social interaction until my early 20s, how the hell do you convey yourself to someone else? Much less form a consistent outer rim for others to taste, I barely know now
Just let people fursuit and enjoy the fundamental joy we all take regardless of your anticipation of the individual
If a furry messages me "hi" you better believe I say hi back, even if they don't make conversation I make the fucking time to chat
I get it, this shit is SO FUCKING HARD, I'd rather talk to you than shut you down because I know how difficult social shit is, I've formed a brain algorithm through years of hardship and boolean operations
