> why is it okay for sex fetishists to act out sex fetishes in public around kids?
I don't think that's what furries generally do, nor homosexuals for that part, unless you count holding hands or kissing each other on the mouth as "acting out sex fetishes in public"? I don't think I've seen that even once, but living in a "party city", I've more than once seen drunk heterosexual couples having sex in the streets and in the metro.
Being in an animal suit is "act out sex fetishes in public" because that same suit might be used later in connection with sexual activities? Doesn't that make every heterosexual couples clothes also "acting out sex fetishes in public" somehow then?
> i can't play devil's advocate for intentionally doing that around kids. I can't even maintain good faith anymore, next time I see that shit I'm putting a stop to it, unless one of you can convince me not to.
We're gonna see some bad headlines coming from this guy's local Charles E. Cheese real soon...
you are the third responder to engage in distractory tactics instead of addressing the issue. I'm starting to see a pattern. the question remains, are furries lying to the public, or lying to themselves?
I don't have any commenting tactics except spotting the opportunity to slip in a joke. I think it's kind wild that a big thread raging about furries has spawned from the blog post of a hardware company making some quirky RF hardware.
my bad, thats pretty funny when read correctly. you are correct, it wasn't appropriate of me to have kicked this off here, dang should wipe the whole comment chain. for the record, flipper zero is designed for western kids to wreak internal havoc, product dev applicability is secondary
genuinely curious as to what makes people think it's okay to publicly engage in behaviour directly linked to a sexual fetish which links to the article as per the grandparent comment. I specified around the kids because furries near me go out of their way to have their parties exactly where kids have their parties. nobody has to respond to me, that's true. nobody has to call me names either yet here you are.
>what makes people think it's okay to publicly engage in behaviour directly linked
Because your the one linking it to your strawman that has nothing to do with the article. Furry art in the article isn't a sexual fetish. Only bigots here are saying all furries and people who like furry art are some scary sex thing. It's an entire broad genre or Art. The article has nothing to do with sex or kinks or any of this hateful crap. It's just a drawing of animal people.
Wanting to generalize your bad opinions to eveyone for no good reason is exactly what bigotry means. It's not an insult just because it describes what your doing.

Are you talking about public parks? Furries meet up there because it's free public space available to everyone. I am 1 million times more concerned over what happens in private organizations own buildings or billionaire private islands than I am people socializing in a park in view of literally everyone.
The furries meeting up in public parks are mostly teenagers looking to make friends in real life who usually don't have the money to hang out at bars or other commercial venues. The (mostly American) hate of people existing in public without spending money or some special approved activity is more disturbing than anything. I can't imagine being a young person today trying to go out and be social while a bunch of HN users sneer and insinuate you must be some kind of pedo for existing in a public space. Meanwhile they cheer for their favorite billionaire who literally is.
the furries near me specifically choose to meet up at a kids playground when there are a million other public spots to choose from. public sexual deviancy has nothing to do with billionaires, trying to drag the conversation away instead of addressing the issue does not do your position any optics favors.
