Fear of lack of conformity and the belief of sexualization of animals, and (imo) the uncanny valley.
I also find the idea uncomfortable, but at least for the meantime, another person's wat of life isn't my business as long as they aren't going out of their way to hurt people or animals. With the exception of bronies. They are terrifyingly bizarre
Speaking as a brony, yes, we are terrifyingly bizarre.
Ain't it grand? ^_^
No it's not. It's creepy and i would do my best to make sure brownies stayed away from children
Haha, whatever bro. Maybe understand a thing before you criticize it. Hopefully you'll learn that someday.
Well, enlighten me. What am I misunderstanding?
Well for one, that a "brony" is just someone who enjoys the show "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic". Nothing more, nothing less. We are not, essentially, perverted. I mean, sure, some people are, but how's that any different than any other human subgroup?
On top of that, if you've never seen the show, even just 3 episodes, I would highly recommend it. Because even if you don't like it, it would give you some idea of that which you're criticizing. You'll see it's not creepy or anything. It's just a kids cartoon that happens to be very good and appeals to adults as well as kids.
Don't take at face value the concept of a brony based purely on stereotypes you see about them in the media or Internet. Yes, there are perverted weirdos, but the vast majority of us are just people who merely adore the show and what it stands for: the principles of love and tolerance, of open-mindedness about different people & different cultures, of being there for your friends & family, and most importantly of how it is okay to be different than the majority, and equally okay to not be different from the majority.
Everyone has value, and can & should be appreciated for what they bring to the table.
Were you, uh...gonna respond? I assumed you were asking for information in good faith.
Edit: ...Very well. Good day to you. nod
That’s really interesting that the uncanny valley would come from someone with ears and tail. Also there is no sexualization of animals at all. Instead there is different types of humans and humanoid beings similar to animals and such hybrids or kemonomimi are more human normally only ears, tails, teeth and traits. While like how we see furries today. A representation of a fully anthropomorphic beings similar to an animal but intelligent life.
So it depends on where one is on the scale. Also for sure. Though only thing you may not like within the end of last part. Is protection of property and that includes handlers. So deeply protective.
Please if you have anything to add I’d love to hear. I’m intrigued mainly about the uncanny valley.
The uncanny valley is a sensation of another entity being close to human, but also have the feeling they aren't human. We have identified humans as former primates with ears in the middle parts of our heads, shortness of fur or hair, and no tail. Meaning things that aren't natural traits for a human that an individual accepts as a normal trait, that individual could be considered uncanny, but off.
I know there's no sexualization of animals, but that is not a widespread belief. Many people will mentally categorize you as furries, which is also something I currently find uncomfortable, but that's my personal problem, and they are doing nothing wrong in doing what they do. Neither are you
Ultimately my opinion on the outside looking in is this; people who try and convince you to not have the lifestyle you do cares about you and is concerned about you not fitting into society. At that point, it's your job to prove them wrong without losing yourself or their care. They fear that you won't fit into current society. However current society changes all the time. Ask any minority demographic that is put into the category of "lifestyle" and I feel they'll tell you the same.
Thank you so much for sharing everything you do and if you have more insight please share. The last message was a really healing message.
