There's a difference between accepting and not being ashamed that you have a certain kink, and parading it about and expecting everyone to be okay with it. It's sad how far we've muddled that line. I know some "furries" who are mainly into the artistic side of it but mainly keep to themselves because they're embarrassed by obnoxious people who parade it around.

My "furry" friends probably consume some kind of furry porn, but I don't know because they don't tell me about it. I hate the lack of nuance anymore. Accepting what you like sexually doesn't have to mean it isn't still a private thing.

The extent of very public discussion of kink lately is so odd to me. I recently listened to a podcast where a guest speaker talking about a science topic went on an aside about puppy play and was like, I don't care that you're into that, dude, but that's really not appropriate. I'm sex positive and kink positive, but I don't think everything someone's into has to be public. It's crazy how I get attacked for saying that. I'm into some kinky things, and sometimes I hint at it to friends, but I don't think giving them details is appropriate.
