“The annual convention hosts thousands of furries — enthusiasts who dress up in animal costumes — each year outside Chicago.”

Yeah, that’s what they do. Dress up. As animals. Uh huh.

Milo Yellownipples is supposedly flat broke and owes money up the wazoo, but he can go to a furry convention?

I guess the Wingnut Welfare hasn’t totally dried up. Maybe they’ll also give him bus fare to travel to his new job at Chick-Fil-A.

How far have you fallen if you can’t go to a Furry convention?

In the case of Yiannopoulos, not nearly far enough…hopefully he hits a few more branches on the way down to the obscurity and ruin that he deserves.

Don’t fuck with the furries. They can be animals.

Jeez, I thought I was scum, but what kind of reputation would you have to possess to get banned from a furry convention? That’s like a pot dealer getting banned from Burning Man - nearly impossible.

He should just dress up as a weasel and go. How would they know it was him?

Oh, wait…

They don’t like gays at Chick-Fil-A… try McDonalds or KFC… they seem to hire anyone.

Oh, they’ll make an exception for Milo, since he’s a self-hating gay. The Christianists love to use them as examples of how unhappy gay people are in their “lifestyle”.

There’s a chart for that.

Nobody wants to play with Milo.

So he has to wind up playing with himself.

Not sure what’s funnier, that milo wants to go to a furry convention, or that they won’t have him. Though I can see the appeal: many of those costumes completely cover the head.

Of course there is. I looked it over and the conclusion of that chart is inescapable.

Meanwhile, reading the article does little to make it look less like the TPM dropped a tab and was tripping along. The problem is they are just reporting actual news.

I heard he was trying to foment hate between the rodents and the marsupials.

I’m very disappointed to see this sort of comment on TPM. I would expect better of this community than jokes based on the lowest stereotypes about a group of people.
Furries are some of the kindest people I’ve ever had the privilege to know and their community is a stellar example of supportive and caring.
