/>Pinging my name on an abuse post of all things
sigh
While I get where you’re coming from @anon7816926 , I’m going to have to partially go with @DonovanDuBois on this one. Yes, it is true that a definition of whether a fluffy is animal or a toy is a matter of headcanon, and a reason why I wrote an essay on it. However, that doesn’t mean that I think that Donovan’s approach is any less valid than yours.
See, I am quite empathetic to fluffies. And even in my essay, one could argue that fluffies are really closer to an animal in a lot of canons, since being an actual toy would require it to have actual programming like a replicant from Blade Runner. I don’t think many people actually go that far with the justification and handwave it to “programming”, which is my own criticism of the approach and the genre. I’ve seen someone like Meh actually justify that approach, but I cannot really say the same for others.
That said, I usually prefer to avoid doing this kind of reasoning on an abuse comment because I know its not what some people are hare for. Its also why I believe that responses to hugbox posts should be kept clean, just like under the subreddit. Our community has always been divisive, so I do ask that people respect each other’s views.
Ramadan was in April, my friend. The festival of the Eid follows the Lunar calendar and is not a winter event. Its occurrence at Christmas is not regular, speaking as someone with Muslim friends. Also I haven’t really seen anything quite like what you’re describing, even in my overly PC country.
I kinda do. I think its still possible.
