A Lemmy user’s worst nightmare. Somebody finding out what porn they’ve been looking at. Progressive in so many ways except when it comes to porn.

What’s so non-progressive about futa furry chicks with massive dicks?

It is crazy how many men get pissed when you tell them that “futa” is a slur; often because “everyone uses it.”

“futa” is a slur

Maybe if you’re using it to refer to trans women.

But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about imaginary furry girls who were either born that way or magicked up a dick somehow.

My guy, trans women are real, objectifying depictions of them in fiction are imaginary. If you make a stereotypical and dehumanizing representation of a real group of people, I’m afraid that you can’t just say “well, I made it up,” and dissuade any criticism of how this relates to real world politics and its violence. Incredible porn-brained reasoning here.
I’d say equating people’s fantasies with real people is the real dehumanizing thing. Rational people are able to separate fantasy and reality… why arent you?

“Listen pal, just because you think my blackface is making fun of black people, that’s on you. This is my own dark-urban elf character, Tyronicus, who just happens to also have red lips and is only in my story to be a member of a criminal organization which dark-urban elves like him love to do, that isn’t based on anything in reality, and you’re racist if you think so. It’s also called gaslicking, BTW.”

I don’t know how you people can take yourselves seriously.

I’ll admit I’ve never seen futa as harmful, but I also admit this comparison made me think.

We’re not totally okay with characters like Mr Popo from Dragonball because they’re somewhat close to harmful stereotypes, even if he’s fantasy-based and it wasn’t intended.

I feel like if the practice is based on genuine fetish and not any notable efforts to harm a community, that could be taken into account. I’d mostly just rather culture fights take aim at those forms of pointed harm; but I’d also want to know how many other trans people might feel impacted.
