Happy Valentine's Day 🧡

Colin the fox and Aiden the raccoon are watching a movie together in the theater. Both of their hands are in the popcorn bowl. Colin is watching the movie but Aiden is more interested in the fox sitting next to him.

I saw someone a while ago quip something to the tune of "furries only have one joke, and it's their sex life".

And, yeah, but there's a very good reason why that is.

Most people when they join the fandom from a less accepting environment. There's a lot of internalized shame, especially if you were in the closet about your gender or sexual orientation. One way that people cope with adjustments is through humor.

Furry sex jokes are often thinly veiled self-deprecation.

"Haha, look how down bad I am." -> decoder ring -> "I could have never even joked about being a thirsty slut before I found this space, and I'm still not fully comfortable with that."

Not always. But sometines.

@soatok People who haven't experienced profound internalized shame can't understand. It stays with you. Even after you've found an accepting tribe, and you're finally safe and whole, the memories remain like scars.

Woah some content filters (e.g..FortiGuard) classified my blog on https://foxes.lol as "pornography" even though I've never talked about nor shown any porn. Cool, thanks.
