Personally I’m sick and tired of all the bad mouthing and gossip egg laying mammals suffer.

What with this and the water sports revelations I’m getting quite stressed out choosing what to laugh at today.

Note to other commentators: drop the furry hate, they are on the side of kindness, and unlike Milo, they have never done or said anything unkind to you or about you.*
*That time you got attacked by a mascot in high school doesn’t count. You know you started it.

"The far-right troll Milo Yiannopoulos has had his registration to a massive convention of “furries” rescinded, event organizers told TPM Monday.
The decision followed weeks of pressure on the organizers of “Midwest FurFest.” The annual convention hosts thousands of furries — enthusiasts who dress up in costumes and adopt animal personas "
Way to go @castor_troy ! Have a good time this year. I’m sure you’ll get mobbed for autographs.

A hyena. Yes, I’d like to dress up as a hyena.

The three most recent articles on the right-hand side of the front page are about a furry convention, “water sports,” and Trump praising Cummings.
I think someone at TPM needs to get laid.

I want to know what Milo was planning to go as.

Your heart is in the right place, m. And it’s only age that keeps me from dressing up for my inner geek costume interests.
But these are awful times, and we need our humor where we can get it.

Nah. Bill Maher is too busy fat-shaming James Corden and worrying that his local McDonalds might hire a Muslim to work at the drive-thru.

He fat shamed the shit out of Michael Moore last week, too.
He just gets worse and worse and it’s hilarious.

Now let me get this straight… These are adults? Grown men (and women?) dressing in animal costumes? And there’s enough of them to have a convention? And they actually DO have a convention? WTF?
I cannot imagine what they’d do at such a convention. Do they act like the animals they dress-up to represent? Do they talk to one another, or just bark/meow/growl/chirp?
Do they pee on the rug, or are there enough litter boxes for everyone?
I’m sorry mattf… I’m with Stevie on this one. Any grown-ass man dressed like an aardvark while scratching an itch at a convention deserves all the amused bemusement one can muster. I wouldn’t go out of my way to intentionally hurt their feelings, but I would get a good chuckle out of seeing that convention!

“The annual convention hosts thousands of furries — enthusiasts who dress up in costumes and adopt animal personas — each year outside Chicago.” Thousands? Dress up like animals?? Jesus, I am so out of it.

Huh, I did not expect TPM to go with furry-bashing jokes. It’s not my cup of tea, but whom are they harming? Why does being rejected by that particular organization represent a “lower” or more embarrassing rejection than, say, a university speaking gig, or a gay pride event?
