#zooey

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

so many social outlets lately, so little time. i haven't been here in so long that it's surprising to see new followers. i couple i see from #zooey discord, which is where i spend most of my time these days.

i hope everyone is having a good holiday season, no matter which one(s) they choose to celebrate, even if it's none at all. :)

all the bipeds and quadrupeds are happy and healthy here, which seems to be quite a feat for the holiday season these last few years!

I'm tired of the argument about whether or not zoo and #furry are linked.

For one thing, it is really difficult to accurately study how many people who are #zooey are involved in a particular subculture because multiple confounds will throw off your data. You end up with pseudoscience.

In my experience, though, we're actually just as likely to be interested in music, airplanes, or trail-hiking as any particular subculture. I'm mostly interested in fantasy lit and philosophy.

As weird as it sounds, yes, people with any "non-traditional" sexuality are actually more, rather than less, likely to hate others that openly express that sexuality.

This is why #furries are sometimes shockingly hostile toward the #zooey community. It's not because none of them are zooey. It's because many of them actually are, and it terrifies them.

They are afraid that self-acceptance will lead to them becoming something they don't want to be.
