ETA: One possibility I've considered is that this was, or turned into, basically an elaborate troll operation. Wear furry stuff because it really pisses off the right wing, and watch them go bonkers. Hilarity ensues. If it weren't high school kids, I could see it. But IMO teenagers don't generally ...

It's a case of bullying getting out of hand, Maybe. But if so, it got way, way, out of hand. That can happen, so I'm not saying you're wrong. I just don't have a high degree of confidence in any explanation at the moment. ETA: One possibility I've considered is that this was, or turned into, basica...

The idea that kids are engaging in full antho roleplay at school is utterly ludicrous. You would think. But I've seen some more pictures. Of course, it's the internet, so there's no guarantee they weren't photoshopped, or they might not even be from that school. I listened to a bit more of that hou...

I found more "furry" video from that school. https://kezj.com/furries-dress-code-protest-utah/ It's from the protest and it's over an hour long. I have only listened to a few minutes of it, in bits and pieces. I can't make sense out of it. As I said in earlier posts, I thought I had, but s...

I'd say the timeline goes ...

If you can't trust The Daily Mail, who can you trust: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13328017/utah-school-bomb-threat-furries-mt-nebo-student-protest.html And yes, it is the most complete, and I believe accurate story I have seen on the subject. (Maybe I just like it because it affirms the...

That idea is a couple of years old at least, and yeah it's absolute bullshit. There's a new wrinkle this time, though. Over the last couple of years, there were incidents where someone said at a school board meeing, "What next? People identifying as cats?" or, "I heard that there's a...

I thought about putting this one in the "headlines that signal stupid" thread, but I just don't know what to make of it. It seems, though, that it might be an "only in America" type phenomenon. "School district responds to rumors of kids identifying as 'furries' after studen...

My workplace cafeteria actually has very good food, and today there was a great salmon dish. I thought about Friday fish day, and its relation to this thread topic. What I'm referring to is taking an idea from religion and totally distorting it, but still claiming virtue. So, Catholics weren't allow...
