Sylveon-Z, in You just won One Billion Dollars, what are you buying?
@Sylveon-Z@kbin.social avatar

I would try to found my own payment processor/credit card company that would be more NSFW-friendly. Apparently all the payment processors hate porn/nsfw which is why sites like to try to ban it so much. I want NSFW content creators to have a home too.

Sylveon-Z, in Why do some people have a extreme hate for Furries?
@Sylveon-Z@kbin.social avatar

It's cringe culture, the same reason people make fun of weebs or anyone else who goes outside of the "norm". There's also the issue that some people think that it's too childish or too sexual (or both at once, somehow)

Everyone's all "stuff to make world peace!" but I'm gonna be honest with y'all.

A lot of old video games. Like a catastrophic amount of them.

Well what would you do with the remaining 99.99% of your wealth?

HeartyBeast, in What country do you recommend for visiting?
@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

Which county are you from? Do you speak any other languages (being able to speak to locals can change the experience immeasurably). What are your interests and hobbies?

I'd do all the things that most people would do. Pay off debts, help out family/friends, invest, donate, etc.

Other than that, I'd buy a castle. Something like this. Living in such an old place like that with all the history associated with it seems really cool to me.

When we ask people to try to understand something that is outside of their close social norms, hate soon follows unfortunately. People fear and hate "the others" that they do not understand themselves. It goes deeper than that, but it's usually where it starts.

zebus, in How do you stay interested in something for a long time?
@zebus@kbin.social avatar

I've just accepted it's my personality type and I jump around hobbies. People are built different, I'm sure the people who can focus 1000 hours on a hobby have other things they wish they did different. Embrace yourself and how your brain works when it comes to your leisure time.

That being said if I have something I want to focus on for self-growth/productivity reasons I use bullet journaling to hold myself accountable and stay on track. It's helped a lot.

LifeInOregon, in You just won One Billion Dollars, what are you buying?

  1. A modest house.
  2. A second (functioning) vehicle for my family.
  3. Some apartments that I can turn into transitional housing for houseless and/or low income families, along with a staff of full time handymen, social workers, and counselors for facilities and transitional support.
  4. Create a healthcare fund/endowment investment managed by someone competent. It would be used to pay medical collections debts using the interest it draws.
  5. I dunno. A billion dollars goes a long way. Well above and beyond any amount I ever anticipate needing, let alone having. Maybe some Picassos to hang in my modest house.

Dump it all in some low-risk diverse funds, live off only a portion of the returns, and otherwise try to forget about it.

xc2215x, in Why do some people have a extreme hate for Furries?

Some people think all furries want sex with animals.

barf, in You just won One Billion Dollars, what are you buying?

Get a lawyer or 10, probably gonna need em.

I'd be on high alert, because that sounds like a goddamn phishing e-mail!
Are there also hot singles in my area?

Itsyaboimuf, in Why do some people have a extreme hate for Furries?

This article provides a pretty good breakdown of 9 reasons why people would be hostile towards furries.

The one that stood out to me most and was my first thought was:

  1. Lack Of Understanding - As with anything new, there is a general lack of understanding of the furry community. The older generation has a more difficult time coming to terms with the furry lifestyle (…) Unfortunately, many people are not willing to give furries any patience. They hate them right away, without a second thought, just because they are different from them.

older generation

Do they mean the boomers, because I'm 41 and I've been into the fandom for the past 25 years. It's been around for a few decades at this point.

  1. I would spend a small amount on my immediate indulgences (things I have wanted to do or buy)
  2. Then I would towards making investments that will give me enough passive income to grow my wealth and take care of my expenditure
  3. A comfortable house
  4. Give a good amount regular to charitable and non-governmental organisations that I believe are doing a good. But never to leeching relatives.
curiosityLynx, in Why do some people have a extreme hate for Furries?

My guess is that they confuse furries with people who are sexually attracted to animals or animal characteristics.

In reality, furries are people who partially or fully identify with what native people would have called their spirit animal and modern furries call their fursona (except with more or less human features, because they meld what they see as their spirit animal with their human self).

But because drawings of fursonae exist, rule 34 ensures that there is porn of them. Some people really like that kind of porn, unrelated to whether they're furries or not, and I believe it is those people the hate is directed at.

As for why, I would guess it's something like "how dare you sexualise animals!" (or maybe even a subconscious "how dare you make a drawing of what I believe is supposed to be an animal that is actually sexy to me!", similar to how some conservatives are so vehemently against homosexuality because they secretly feel tempted, and then get caught at a gay orgy later). And/or they see it as something like a gateway drug to bestiality (sexual abuse towards animals).

really furries are the extension of anthropomorphism

This would be my opinion. I'm neutral towards furries; I am not neutral towards the flood of porn that seems to make up the majority of my every (and often only) contact with the furry community and I'm honestly surprised that wouldn't be the obvious answer. Do I get to see how those suits are crafted? No, I've never seen that. Saw a tiger getting railed in an elevator yesterday, though.

It's really not doing me any favors in the fediverse right now. I shouldn't have to voluntarily search "yiff" every few days just to search for new things to preemptively block and I can't turn NSFW off, either, without banning myself from my own medical subs.

Those suits are incredibly expensive and they are trade secrets to the people who make them as they want to protect their market. Generally some people have them, and it may look like its the final goal of everyone in the community to own one of their character, but its not. Its a tiny amount of people who both want one and can effort the at least 20k€, like just a head costs around 5k€.

I see this as a general issue that magazines/communities can not be generally set as NSFW, only individual posts and people sometimes forget that. And you are not alone with that, I am also suffer from that because I would rather not see naked female ass in All. It is always something that annoys people if they see porn they do not like but do not pretend like you are the only one that is victim to that.

That makes a lot of sense now that you say it, but I'm still gonna be sad about it. I really like crafting videos these days.

You...can, though? I can with mine, anyway. Is that something only kbin can do right now, or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

Not that it makes much of a difference for people who want more granular nsfw settings. Still really waiting on those, I think adding auto-tagging to submissions and then presenting the ability to filter by tag is a fantastic idea that would really solve a ton. I literally have to do the same with sports that I have to do for porn subs in order to get them out of my feed and they just keep proliferating every time someone subs to or spins up a new instance. I know past a certain point bitching about all topics being in All is dumb, but blocking doesn't accomplish as much as it should right now just due to the nature of the fediverse.

Admittedly, if you're someone who doesn't mind porn in All as long as it's your fetish, it would be easier to whitelist things at that point. There'd have to be a whole menu and everything, which I'm sure is doable. For furries, monster fuckers, etc., this would necessitate a "human porn" tag to enter wide use and I don't ever see that happening, so they and they alone are stuck blocking nsfw and subbing directly.

If, then its new, but the main community having adult furry content is using lemmy.

Admittedly, if you're someone who doesn't mind porn in All as long as it's your fetish, it would be easier to whitelist things at that point.

I generally do not want to see porn in All, neither human porn nor furry gay porn. It the one thing that does not belong in All. All is to learn about new content, and you are not gonna start to like furry gay porn and I am not going to start to like naked female ass. Porn is a individual thing and I believe everyone knows what he or she wants and follows the magazines/communities that offer that without having to discover it in all.

What is interesting to me is, yes sure unconventional ideas in porn are something people easily find rage for, yet that is not the issue for that friend of mine. He himself can be called unconventional in that regard. He really just hates the idea of antro furry in general.

As a homosexual that rage is something I am well too familiar already as that it would bother me.
