On Weird.

I see posts around here fairly regularly about keeping places like this unmarketable, untouchable to vulture capital, and just outright weird. Usually this follows with an exhortation to furries to keep doing their thing, which... I dunno, c'mon. It's not up to furries to be the load bearing horny on the internet, now. Everybody's got something they're weird for, it's okay to own that.

What I think that furries do generally manage to convey in spaces like this - where it matters, if you will - is that their particular brand of horny is genuine. It's what tends to get skipped over in proud, strident posts demanding we keep a place weird; that weirdness needs to come from a genuine place, it needs to be real, and brother, that's where I think the more permissive and generally 'out there' furry culture comes to the fore because people do not give much of a fuck if you think their thing's weird.

You can post that you want a footjob from an eighty foot tall dragon train pool toy, but you've gotta mean it.

When I lived in New York, I somehow could not avoid finding myself in the company of FinTech ghouls at least a half-dozen times a year (often some friend-of-a-friend showing up at some party or somesuch), and one of the things that routinely blew my mind was now absolutely allergic they were to unguarded sincerity. They seemed to see this as an expression of vulnerability, which both made them uncomfortable and also evoked a sort of, "Ugh, I would never reveal such things in mixed company." Their identities really seemed to be built around a performance of status, affluence, and 'genius' that was only ever for other people. And, routinely, they were also reflexive bullies, trying to keep everyone on the same performative rails that they were riding on, because if we're not all on the same leaderboard how are they going to be able to tell whether they're winning?

Let me tell you, I did not need to talk about kink to cause those ghouls to recoil like a Dracula from a parting curtain that reveals the dawning sun. "Oh man, I gotta tell you about the Mafia hypothesis of brood parasitism" or "So, here's what's wild about Solresol" will both do nicely, because cowards are allergic to sincerity.

This also reminds me of the internet culture of the 2000s where nobody was allowed to like anything — like, if you wanted to listen to Linkin Park, you had to do it ironically — because those communities were run by the sort of bullies you're describing.
