Paul's Passing Thoughts

In reply to Dubmutt.
I am not answering your question with a question to be snarky, and it’s not a loaded question; there is actually a point to it, and it really doesn’t have anything to do with Furries other than the question being a readily available example. Do you think it is ok, or normal, to have sex with roadkill? Either way, yes or no, tell me why. Is pedophilia ok? Why, or why not.

In reply to Paul Dohse

Animals can’t consent to sex. So we as a society said it was wrong. It is repulsive most of us hate it for that reason. Pedophilia is wrong because children aren’t capable of consent. They aren’t mentally mature enough to understand. That’s why 18 is considered adult and the typal consent age. Although I feel it should be older. Since 18 is still immature juvenile.
That’s how we’ve always determined laws since the start of civilization. Whether God is real or not religion is an effective way to control human behavior. A lot of religions seem to agree on one thing and that is to do good to your fellow man. I’m not anti-religion and to be honest, not sure if you read all of the OT laws but I can pick quite a few that would really benefit society today.

I believe the Bible because it is the only source that logically explains what you just stated in your comment. All people are born in the image of God according to the Bible, but what does that mean? One thing that it means is described in Romans chapter 2: the works of the law of God are written on the hearts of every individual born into the world with the conscience either accusing or excusing behavior and actions. The Bible also says that God is known by His creation so all are without excuse. And all are under judgment. The irreligious will only be judged according to the law of their conscience, but the religious will be judged by both laws: conscience and the Bible, so they will receive a more severe judgement. Eternal punishment is meted out to different degrees based on the level of condemnation; the more law that you are under, the more condemnation. The goal should be to escape judgment altogether. Christ died on the cross to end the law. He was resurrected by God to establish the new birth. The new birth changes our relationship to the law because the old us dies with Christ and we are resurrected with Christ to being a new person. Hence, like a person who dies in this life, they are no longer accountable to any law; you can’t indict a dead person. NO person is tried in abstention that is dead. To the new person, the law now has a different purpose: it is our manual for loving God and others, BUT with NO ability to judge or condemn. Think about this: no true Christian will ever stand in judgement before God. There is “now” “no” condemnation for those who are in Christ. The love we are now in casts out fear, because “fear has to do with judgement (1John chapter 3).” Of course, the new birth also changes one to have a love for truth and God’s word, so true love does not use being set free from condemnation as a license to sin. And that my friend, is the good news.

Everyone lives life by their own terms and beliefs in one way or another. Humans have collective and individual behaviors. We don’t accept every twisted desire. Even though we have no central authority we do police ourselves and remove people if they cross lines. Illegal and harmful behaviors. Why would I hate myself? What are you basing this on?
Like you seem to be taking something as stupid as furry very seriously and that’s why I find it funny. I honestly thought this was a parody site until my friend who reads your site told me otherwise. And of course, I would use an alternative identity online who would use their real name? Do you know how easy it is to steal an identity in this county? All it takes is knowing your first and last name and city of birth and boom SSN stolen. Because the last four digits are the only “unique” numbers on that small piece of paper. But that’s not the point. The point is furry is just a community of people with a similar interest. And that is why I asked if you are new to the internet.

In reply to Dubmutt.
Any cooperation with the collective supports and condones the individual behavior when sects are being considered. Ideology leads to action/behavior. And what “similar interest” are you speaking of? Pedophilia? (estimated in Fandom to be 20%). Zoophilia? (18%). Those who rape their pets? Or those who have sex with roadkill? Or, the LGBT community in general? Policing? Well, like you said, of course we don’t use our true identities on the internet. That’s why Kero the Wolf can’t be indicted for raping animals and then killing them and then posting the vids on the internet: he does it in his fursuit. But like you said, we all have our own collective and individual behaviors…sera, sera. Policing? You going to excommunicate Kero? he will merely switch to another Furry identity.

    I always get a kick out of seeing a particular scene played out on daytime TV whether in an auto shop waiting room or passing by a TV at a healthcare facility. Some guy is denying he fathered a particular child while a picture of the child is on a big screen in the background. Of course, the picture is merely a miniature version of the denier that evokes mocking laughter from the audience as the accused attempts to deny any connection to the little bundle of responsibility.

    The same type of spectacle can be observed while reading comments, excuses, and “arguments” from Fandom advocates. For example, even though the notion that Fandom is merely a hobby was soundly trounced in part 3, Furries are still coming here and claiming the hobby defense. A hobby is not a subculture. A hobby is not a lifestyle. A hobby is not an ideology. The hobby defense is cover.

    The point of this post is to point out that the various comments we are receiving here at PPT confirm our assertions about this sect. For (another) example; on the one hand, it’s just a hobby, but on the other hand, it’s a “healthy” coping mechanism for sociopathy. Furries are even coming here and claiming that the Furry ideology has saved lives. The hobby defense is for the low-information lazy thinking crowd: “Nothing here, just a benign issue about a hobby. It’s a Nothing burger.” But when someone looks into it deeper, all of a sudden, Fandom is a spectacular gospel Segway to utopia.

    And, of course, the Broad Brush defense. The whole movement is being painted with a broad brush because of a few. We trounced that defense as well. If you have a choice of five public pools to swim in, and one only has a small amount of flesh-eating bacteria, guess what? We all know that you are not going to swim in that pool. If you do, it’s proof that you really have no problem with the bacteria. Also, it’s obviously indicative of something fundamentally wrong with the management of the pool. Bemoan the idea that, for example, Nazis are painted with a broad brush, but even though you don’t agree with everything Nazis teach or do, the fact that you are a Nazi confirms that you don’t have a huge problem with the other stuff. In other words, the other ideologies of the movement are not a deal-breaker. And likewise, for innocent Furries who are just partaking in a hobby, zoophilia and pedophilia, among the many other social anomalies present in Fandom, are not deal-breakers. Why not? and…end of argument. And moreover, participation at any level contributes to the cause of the movent to that same degree. Interestingly enough, Fandom being identified with those who have sex with roadkill doesn’t even give pause (see Part 6; 9:18 on video).

    Let’s talk about Fandom being a “healthy coping mechanism.” But wait, isn’t a hobby a good coping mechanism for a troubled person? Yes, if it’s a true hobby, but if it isn’t, it only adds complications to the existing problem or problems. Why? Because Fandom is socially controversial and has implications for conscience. If you worry a lot and take up golf to keep your mind occupied on something other than worry, that’s nothing but a positive because golf doesn’t carry any controversial baggage along with it. You don’t need an instruction video to explain how to “come out” as a golfer. If you are a troubled person, any kind of controversy is not a healthy coping mechanism. If you have issues, you don’t want to add anything to your closet. One Furry shared how he met a young person who hated people and wouldn’t associate with people at all, but loved animals. But, then he became a Furry, and dressing up like an animal (because he loves animals) now enables him to relate to people. I hope it is very easy for you to see the absurdity of that as a happy ending. None of the issues regarding the young man’s hatred for people are addressed, but rather covered up for the time being. and because the real problems are not being addressed, they could lead to more serious problems. It’s like taking Tylenol for incessant migraine headaches and seeing that as a cure. Fact is, it could be a brain tumor.

    And that’s the point we made in part 4; in the same way people feign mental illness to escape responsibility or guilt, like, for instance, Schizophrenia in many cases, Fandom is just another form of escapism. I didn’t do it, my other personality did it. One form of escapism prevalent in Fandom is Peter Pan Syndrome (“an inability to grow up or to engage in behavior usually associated with adulthood” [see part 6; 13:18 0n video]). Yet another form is Victim Mentality (Ibid 26:54). In short, the Fandom is a melting pot for a plethora of categorized mental disorders. Few Furries, if any, deny that their Fursuit characters are alter egos. One advocate even came here claiming that this alternate identity serves to find the real self and subsequently accused me of being un-self-aware accordingly.

    Another familiar attempt to disqualify the author as one able to have a valid opinion for various and sundry reasons concerns a supposed inability to know the internet as a genre. Gee whiz, there is just no way to know where I am coming from because I am not internet savvy. Frankly, this attempt at discrediting a detractor is so lame that I am not motivated in the least to address it.

    Lastly, we did see some honesty in comments defending the movement’s anti-God mentality. Of course, per the theme of this post, the comments only serve to confirm our assertions; the movement is vehemently anti-God. That is addressed in part 5.
