DeSantis is losing the coveted transvestite and "furry" vote

[Dan Ben Noah]

Since Gov. DeSantis has recently signed legislation banning children from drag performances and a requirement to use the bathroom of your biological sex, pervs and groomers are on the run in Florida.  Perhaps they'll have to run to Mar-a-Lago to use the bathroom of their choice (see video at the end for context).  And by the way, when discussing Sodomites, DON'T SAY "GAY."  Say plain old "faggot."

Florida Republican governor and 2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis (R) recently signed a bill that bans children from attending events that include “sexually explicit content,” such as drag shows or drag brunches. So of course, a writer at Rolling Stone is mad at him for, and we quote, “having successfully sucked the pleasure out of many of life’s little joys.”

Why is having children around adult content something worth celebrating to Rolling Stone? We don’t dare ask but we thought the column was worth highlighting to show the utter insanity — and perversity — of the American Left.

“This is sad that you kind of have to do this,” DeSantis said after signing the “Protection of Children Act” in mid-May. “There’s these, like, drag shows. It’s sexually explicit, what they’re doing. And look, adult entertainers — people can do what they want with some of that. But to have minors there, I mean, you have situations where you’ll have an 8-year-old girl there, where you have these really explicit shows, and that is just inappropriate.”

In turn, DeSantis has been attacked by the far Left for assaulting the LGBTQ community or something. “Drag queens,” and other adults, seem confused about what they can do in front of children. Now, a “furry convention” hosted by Megaplex in Florida has banned children from attending so as not to defy the law, even accidentally.

A certain EJ Dickson of Rolling Stone magazine seems especially incensed that DeSantis is using his authority to guard the innocence of children and keep creepy adults away from them.

“Florida Gov. and GOP presidential nominee Ron DeSantis has successfully sucked the pleasure out of many of life’s little joys, from drag brunches to Disney adult TikTok,” Dickson wrote. “And thanks to the passage of SB 1438, or the Protection of Children Act, DeSantis may now be bringing the ax down on furries.”

What’s a furry? Well, as described by National Geographic, a furry, at its most basic level, is a person “who believes that they are part human part animal.”

As Dickson describes, though, some people who consider themselves “furries” do it purely for a sexual fantasy of sorts, replete with dressing up as various animals and engaging in vulgar behavior. So in other words, Dickson is mad that children aren’t allowed to be around a bunch of adults whose sexual fetish might be dressed as beasts and different creatures.

“While SB 1438 does not specifically target minors dressing as furries, it prohibits children from attending adult performances, which it defines as ‘a presentation that depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, or specific sexual activities,'” Dickson noted before claiming, “And, like drag, there are pervasive misconceptions that this mode of expression is inherently sexual.”

However, the writer notes that while it is “true that there is a segment of furrydom that does treat it as a kink, it is not a representation of the wider community, and many furries do not view their interest in anthropomorphized creatures as sexual at all.”

Where that line of sexualization starts and stops is murky — apparently — so Megaplex decided to make the convention age-limited to those older than 18.

Rolling Stone spoke to one transgender furry named SemJay who owns a furry adult toy company. He agreed with Megaplex’s decision but said he would not be attending.

“I don’t want to end up in a confrontation, or worse, jail or dead, for just going to the bathroom in Florida,” he said in reference to another law signed by DeSantis which requires individuals to use the bathroom that correlates with their biological sex.

In reaction to Rolling Stone’s article, DeSantis staffer Christina Pushaw tweeted, “Don’t expose children to your fetish and we are good.”

It should be noted that as a good rule of thumb, common sense and basic morality would dictate that if there is any question about whether your behavior could be perceived as “sexually explicit” — then it surely is not appropriate for children to see. Apparently, Rolling Stone needs to learn that lesson — as does the furry community.

Here is a video of Trump welcoming Bruce Jenner to use the bathroom of his choice in Trump Tower, and Ted Cruz opposing men in women's restrooms:

Now according to the logic of the Trumptard cultists, we must now green light restrooms becoming red-light districts, because it's okay with Trump and Ted Cruz sounds more nasal.

The so-called, Don't Say Gay law is the reason that the gays aren't supporting DeSantis.  However, the bill doesn't say gay in it.

  Exactly right and they are naively foolish to believe
  that Trump genuinely gives a camel’s tuches about
  them. Those that support them only want their
  allegiance and of course vote. At least DeSantis,
  on this front, is so far, not disingenuous.

That's a really bad definition of furry. I'm not part of that fandom myself but I have a couple of friends who are furries so I got a better understanding of it from them.

Basically a furry is someone who is a fan of anthropomorphic animals. Anthro animals would be something like Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, or like the Disney Robin hood movie, Jungle Book, or Zootopia. It's animal characters with human-like features, animals that talk, etc. Most people are familiar with these types of animals in fiction. They go pretty far back even into things like Aesop's fables or the symbolism of a talking snake, etc.

Anyway the basic furry fandom isn't really a bad thing and most people like anthro animals to one degree or another anyway whether they're part of that fandom or not.

There's a lot of cool safe for work, non-vulgar art that's made and some of the mascot-like suits people make can be pretty cool too honestly depending on the quality.

Unfortunately the furry fandom does have a lot of problems with the fact that so many of its members are left wing so it ends up attracting a much larger percentage than average of LGBTQ+- ÷ types. I feel like that's one big source of why people on the outside generally view it badly. If you're a conservative Christian or Jewish person or even a Muslim person who follows the principles of your faith, you might not be able to really mesh with a lot of furry communities because they generally don't like things like "homophobia" or "transphobia" and will reject you for that.

There was one Christian lady who went by the name of LupusVulpes or @Humanloopis and she did art commissions for people, drawing their original anthro characters (aka fursonas) and someone asked her to draw their character holding a pride flag for an art commission. She said she could draw the character but she didn't want to include the pride flag due to her personal religious beliefs. That she respected the person but she wasn't able to really draw that part of it. The community treated her like she was evil and basically canceled her and ruined her business. She had to shut down all her social media accounts.

And like any other fandom there is a subset of people who make it sexual. Like they might be turned on by Lola Bunny from Space Jam or even by people role playing as an actual stallion or whatever. There's also not-safe for work art of humanized animals which is pretty nasty/gross. Think like a playboy bunny with ears on or Victoria's secret angel with wings on, but more like a bunny or whatever animal than just having the ears or wings, etc. but still humanized.

They don't generally like normal animals or feel attracted to actual animals. It's the humanization of them that makes them appealing to those people. They're not zoophiles and not interested in actual animals usually even if they're in to that.

I think it's important for people to know that it's only part of the fandom that's like that though. It's not every member of it and there's also a lot of "safe for work" furry art/content/comics/animations, etc. that don't have anything to do with anything perverted or unusual. Someone can be a furry and only consume safe for work content if they want.


There are "conservative furries" like the girl I mentioned but a lot of times they get heavily overshadowed by the leftists and perverts of the fandom and so people never know about them.

People who believe they are part animal are usually called therians, not furries.
