alt Hacker NewsI was replying to GP's assertion more so than just the content in the post itself.
For minor references like the image in the OP post it's whatever. I personally find furry art/culture repugnant, but I know plenty of people feel the same way about other things I like (and of which I insert references to in my projects) so I can't exactly get mad about it.
Still don't agree with the overall concerning trend towards exposing kids to (deviant) sexual material from a young age though, and doubly so that anyone who feels the same is a 'bigot'.
First time I saw a dude on all fours with nothing but boxers, a leather bondage dog mask, and a leash being held by his partner at PRIDE while children came up to pet him was jarring, to say the least.
Context is everything though. I've met people who believe every flipper zero owner is criminal scum using it to steal cars or break in to houses. When the reality is it's a toy radio for the majority of users.
It's the same for everything. Most furry content has nothing sexual about it, the image in the article is entirely appropriate.

For what it's worth, as a furry I'm also very much not in favor of these people, but they are an entirely different group that doesn't have much to do with furries at all despite superficial similarities. Furries can no more control these people than developers and tinkerers can stop car thieves abusing RF bugs.
