    I’ve got my doubts. Body sculpting, explicitly including sculpting to look “animal like” existed even back in Cyberpunk 2020, which was released in 1988.

    Furries were around before that of course, but the first furry convention wasn’t until 1989, and furries didn’t really reach mainstream awareness enough that uninvolved people started to think hating on them was cool until even later than that.

    I don’t doubt someone involved in Cyberpunk Red took some enjoyment in making someone who dislikes furries uncomfortable, but I’d be VERY surprised if that’s why they were included back in 1988.



  • “Wrong” doesn’t have meaning in this context. Someone is giving you a label to try and describe a personal experience that they have access to that you don’t. The label they choose to communicate that to you is subjective. Because it’s subjective, other people can (and likely will) disagree with their self applied label. But that’s part of the process that impacts them when they choose and use the right label.



  • As much as you may think otherwise, sexuality and identity labels aren’t objective. They are subjective and self applied, because it doesn’t matter what label you pick, or how clear cut you think it is, there is someone, somewhere, who uses it differently. There is no single “truth” when it comes to these things.

    So yeah, picking a label that helps you navigate the world is the smart choice. Because if you’re trying to pick a label based on some objectively true definition, you’ll fail before you begin, because there is no such thing in this context
